Independent Component 1 Approval

1. For my 30 hours I plan to playtest a variety of different Magic: the Gathering cards via Cockatrice. An online server where a community of Magic players can duel each other and test new deck ideas without buying the cards themselves. I also plan to delve into the mathematical aspect of Mtg. For example, the odds of drawing a win condition compared to the probability of drawing a land card. I also plan to frequent many MtG events such as Friday Night Magic events, Game Day events, as well as Drafts and Pre-releases in the hopes that my points for attending will accumulate over time to the point where I can join a Pro Tour.

2. In order to show evidence of this, I will either just take pictures of the events with captions, or I will go through an analysis of different deck ideas that I encountered or came up with in detail. Statistics and ratios included. Over the course of time, the hours will accumulate as well as the corresponding documentation. Summaries and background reasoning will be provided to clarify any confusions in the analysis of the events or “homebrews” (self-constructed decks).

3. In addition to the previously stated examples for independent component completion, I will delve into the more technical side of Magic: the Gathering as to achieve a better knowledge of the game. This would put me at a greater advantage than if I just played the game for fun without striving to become a more skilled player. The act of this self imposed limitation would result in me finishing my independent component with a higher sense of knowledge of MtG as well as essential prowess required for success in the Pro Tour.
