Hmm, you often see one of Chapin's team-mates doing well with a deck they designed together though. Which leads me to think his deckbuilding skills are well worth listening to, just his playing isn't quite as good as theirs / he gets unlucky a lot.<br />
<br />
End of the day though, he's clearly a shitload better than me, so worth listening to, i think.<br />
<br />
Though agreed Warren, LSV would be better. I need to start reading ChannelFireball...

Chapin is much the same as Flores IMO - he's earned his reputation through being a 'cool' character (though I think he's a complete numpty). Chapin is definitely more in touch with the modern game than Flores, though I still wouldn't give him my money.<br />
<br />
Reminds me of bands who release their 'greatest hits' after only a few years of playing. It's blatant money grabbing nonsense.<br />
<br />
All of Chapin's best stuff is available on starcitygames anyway, so why would you pay for it plus the chaff that will…

<br />
Scott-Vargas on the other hand, I would pay for. He's a big fat nerd who knows this game backwards because it's all he can do. I'd rather pay for his brainfarts than some anorexic dude who thinks he's the cats pyjama's, but is really just a slightly cooler breed of uber-nerd.<br />
<br />
And yes, I'm grumpy today.<br />

I personally dislike Flores...<br />
<br />
So he made a deck that won something big at some point - big deal. I'd rather read Scott-Vargas, Menedian, Feldman etc (if they were to make some sort of ebook obviously)...<br />
<br />
Flores feels to me like someone who USED to to be a kingpin of Magic, but is now just a washed up ex pro trying to scrape a living by selling his old stuff.<br />
<br />
$25? not worth it IMO.

I quite fancy reading this myself, having already read "jonny magic", the Jon Finkel biography (i can lend it if anyone wants a read).<br />
<br />
Also, has anyone read Jamie Wakefield's book? I quite fancy checking that one out too.
