Winner's interview with MyGalaxy!

Hello and congratulations once again, MyGalaxy!

* Could you please introduce yourself? How did you start playing Magic and MTGO? What other formats than Standard Pauper do you play?

Hallo again. This info is in the last interview, but anyway. I am Andriy from Germany, 31 yers old. I started to play about 3 years ago with STD pauper format. I play also STD Constructed with Mardu and KTK Sealed, if I win a daily constructed

* Your favorite colours and archetypes?
Mostly everything what is not a control deck

* How did you decide to play White Weenie in the tournament?
Ususally at the beginning of each season I try to create a deck and then to tweak it. At this season this simple WW build delivered pretty good swiss results for me, so I stuck with it.

* How did you like cards like Divine Favor or Jeskai Student?
They both could be changed, but if the deck works, so why to change anything? Student is useful with some spells I play. Divine Favor almost always remains untouched in SB.

* Will you play the deck again?
Yes, I like fast games. They give me me time to cook, to eat and to take a shower between rounds

* Can you explain your sideboarding a little?
I get the pillar of light in vs midrange/black. One more triplicate spirits and possibly Divine Favor vs aggro/heroic. But this week my SB was pretty much untouched.

* What about your match-ups against UR Control, or Mono-Black/UB Devotion. Do you feel favored?
No, I don‘t Black makes me discard and gains too much life with a merchant usually. Black and UR both have cards to destroy my complete table with -1/-1. MY deck used to „loose to Merchant and Sands“, but now it „Wins“!;=)

* General thoughts on this format?
This season is pretty cool (maybe because I win often). There is a variety of decks. Pity, we don‘t have numbers to play 4 rounds. But new players play different decks. It is not like everyone sticks with UR only.

* Is there anything positive/negative you have to say about MPDC tournaments or our community?
I always say only positive about MPDC and our players For me it is very strange, that we have less players than usual. I thought a lot of new players will come with KTK and will begin their MTGO way with STD pauper. But somehow the weekly attendance is not this good. I remeber we used to have less prize support, but more players. Now we have like 1 tix for top 8 and 2/4/7 credits for top 4. I finisher second twice and bougt 1 Sarkhan and 3 hushwing gryffs for only 3 Euro with gift certificates. That‘s pretty cool. You win the event and you have enough credits to get your next commons set. Maybe we have to promote these events. I would up-up every thread if needed just to let players know that we have such events.

* Do you read MPDC winner's interviews on our site?
Yes, always. I like to get to know more about personalities behing the nicknames.

* You have been playing White for a while, did you adjust a lot to the shifting metagame? Or it wasn't necessary?
As I have noticed, I am the only one to play this deck. Probably, other players don‘t see this deck as a threat. So there are no dedicated SB cards vs it. I just adjust the number of pegasus before every event

* Tell us one random thing, how do you feel about MTGO?
MTGO creashes seldom for me. After I got more RAM it runs pretty smoothly. But I do prefer to restart it after 2 rounds of any event

* Shoutouts?
To our STD pauper community. To gwyned for finding time and a power of will to host MPDC for such a long time. To you, to bobby (cheering you up for that land screw in the third round of the swiss), to Joe with his prize support and to other guys who come to play at MPDC/SPDC and enjoy it!

* Anything else you would like to add?
Be a man, come and play MPDC and SPDC!
