I’m a former Olympic chess player. And an absolute noob at all other games. But I’ve been inspired by my PogChamps students (who take on chess as newbies and then compete at a major tournament, after one month of training) and wanted to take on a similar challenge: Can I master Magic the Gathering in only 30 days, to then compete for the title of the World’s Okayest MTG Player? 😳 Here’s my (emotional) journey trying to go from zero to hero… 💙
