I'm not pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work,

coronavirus edition. So I've been bringing really fun interviews, and I have another fun one. It is Chris Bacula.

Hi. Okay, so Chris, I'm going to start with the question I've been asking everybody,

which is, how did you start playing magic?

I started playing magic when I went home for summer vacation after my freshman year of college.

And one of my friends came home from, one of my high school friends came home from like a weekend LARP, I think.

And people at that event had introduced him to magic.

So he came home with like, you know, a handful of revised cards that someone had given him and said,

this game is pretty cool, people taught me how to play, we should buy some cards and play.

So, you know, me and seven or eight of my high school friends that summer started playing

magic with revised.

Okay, so this is like 94?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, so how do you go from that to becoming a pro tour player?

How did that transition happen?

Oh, wow.

So that first summer, obviously, like, you know, learning magic, I don't know how, I don't really, it's really hard to understand what it's like to learn to play magic now.

Because there's just so many resources and so many ways to just learn about the game.

And back then, obviously, there wasn't.

So things took a while.

But I think I think I won a tournament at the end of that first summer
