Zvi on time management for tournament weekends. With Magic information so readily available across multiple formats, he explains how to maximize potential through expert testing schedule and last-minute deck choice discipline.

Curator's Note

If you've ever left your deck choice to the night before, this is the article. Zvi's framework for budgeting your prep hours is the bridge between FNM-grinding and RCQ-ready. Required reading the week before any competitive event.
