Mark Hinsz

Mark Hinsz has been playing Magic sporadically since 1994. He took a long break from Magic throughout college, but has been playing competitively since 2003. He names Legacy as his favorite format, but has a few PTQ and States Top8s to his name - as well as a limited 2 Headed Giant States title. He enjoys taking breaks from his wife and two daughters to fill the family mini-van with degenerate Magic players and travel throughout the Midwest for PTQs, GPs, and SCG Opens. He also maintains that Rootgrapple is a perfectly fine Cube card, even if you don't have Doran, the Siege Tower in play.
