Exploring Esper Control : Magic: The Gathering – Strategy, Singles, Cards, Decks So there was a tournament this past weekend... You may have heard about it or, at least, some of the fallout stemming from it. Instead of talking about the issue everyone will cover to death, I want to focus on the actual Magic being played. Standard certainly is a topic of interest for many based on the suggestions I've gotten, and I'm impressed that the format has retained so much interest. Double Take e certainly live in exciting times! Just this past weekend, David Williams took sole possession of the "player with most Team GP wins" moniker when he and his all-star squad of Matt Sperling plus Pro Tour Champion Paul Rietzl took apart the 1,700 player team event in San Jose, CA.
