    TOM Talks - How I Coached a Pro Tour Team at PT SOS

    A slightly different type of TOM Talk - instead of interviewing someone, I'll be yapping about my experience as a Pro Tour Coach! I worked alongside Team Drawing Board at Pro Tour Secrets of Strixhaven helping them try to take down one of the most prestige Events in the MTG Competitive scene. I walk through how I got into the role, who was on the team and how our Global nature added to some testing difficulties, what types of analysis I did leading up to the Event and when we were in the testing house, going over meetings for the Standard and Draft portions of the PT, what other types of problems I ended up solving, how the team did at the Event & where it goes from here! I've got visualizations available alongside the video version for all my prep materials over on my YouTube: https://youtu.be/AymQinwN8rQ
