About the Author

My name is Sven Stolz, I’m 29 years young, and I’m trying to get my Master’s degree in business economics. I play competitive Magic since 2009.

Even as a kid, I was already fascinated by the old cards. When I was 17, I pretty quickly started to get into Legacy. Even though I had a few Magic-breaks through the years, I still managed to triumph in a few tournaments, most notably a win in the MKM Series Frankfurt 2019 as well as two Top 8 and one Top 32 placements during other MKM Series.

My all-time favorite decks are 2010 Extended Zoo and Legacy UR Delver. When I’m not playing Magic, I love to drive around on my motorcycle, and I also live vegan.
