This review is from: The Quest For The Pro Tour (Volume 2) (Paperback)
Jamie Wakefield is a gift to Magic: The Gathering. He is easily one of the best, and most respected, writers about the game.
This book takes a nostalgic look at a competing tournament player during the early days of the Pro Tour. The decklists are from a bygone era, but the stories of sportsmanship, competition, and meeting new friends are timeless.
