Identifying strategies and strategy changes

Analyzing games is helpful, but one thing I think a lot of people do that looks like analysis but could actually be harmful is to review the game and ask themselves, "what could I have done differently?" Just because you lost, doesn't mean that you did something wrong - you could have chosen the strategy with the highest winning percentage, and just had something not break your way. Asking
what you could have done differently is a great way to occasionally convince yourself that the correct line you took in a game is worse than the one that actually would have won, and you'll start to associate negative outcomes to correct patterns of thinking.

My Hall of Fame Ballot for 2016

I crossed the pro point threshold to have a Hall of Fame vote again, and I am very excited about it. I always love reading about other peoples' ballots, and I'm so happy to contribute my thoughts about mine.

Sealed deck thoughts for Actual Drafters group

Agree with all of this. I've been losing a lot of league matches on modo as well and I've been trying to put together some observations.

It seems to me like there are multiple dimensions of strategy - aggro, control, and combo (hey just like in constructed!).
