Our Team

Bryant Cook has one Grand Prix Top 8 as well as nine Star City Games Top 8s (two wins). You can often find him traveling the northeast in search for the next big event. Bryant has recently top 8’d the latest Leaving a Legacy: Open VI!

Bryant is also a host of The Eternal Glory Podcast, as well as a Web Designer, Mets Fan, and general nerd.

Alex, an information technology consultant who recently graduating with his bachelor’s degree in systems analysis, is also a part-time high school teacher.

When he is not studying or working, he spends his remaining free time playing Magic: The Gathering.

He claims his favorite part of Magic is counting to 10.

Like many others, Josh started playing Magic: The Gathering in middle school, where he learned to base his self-worth on how many dragons he owned. These dragons ended up coming in handy 15 years later when he got back into Magic and started playing EDH. After playing it for about six months, Josh heard rumors about a format with decks that could win on turn one. Since then, Josh has focused completely on Legacy.

Alex McKinley is a computer scientist who loves mixing Magic: The Gathering and technology. When outside, he spends his time winning Quidditch Championships and camping.

Landon first started playing Magic: The Gathering with the release of M10 and made the move to Legacy around the time of Innistrad. A life-long interest in degenerative gaming strategies and an affinity for the combination of Gitaxian Probe and Cabal Therapy made The EPIC Storm an almost too appropriate deck choice.

Landon was formerly the No. 1 ranked Pokemon Go player in the United States.

Daniel has been playing Magic: The Gathering since Invasion, and fell in love with the Storm mechanic the moment it was printed. He plays/has played Desire Storm in Extended, Solidarity and The EPIC Storm in Legacy, Gifts Storm in Modern, Paradoxical Storm in Vintage, and is currently building Sprout Storm in Pauper. A certified Magic Judge since 2004, Josh is an active Level 3 in USA MagicFests, particularly on the West Coast.

AJ is an Options Trader by day, and a long-time EPIC Storm enthusiast by night. When he isn’t busy, AJ is watching Twitch, jamming out to Taylor Swift, or beating StarCityGames grinders on camera with Empty the Warrens.

Theo is a Systems Engineer for work and a crazed Magic extraordinaire who terrorizes his local Magic scene with a variety of combo decks. His love affair with The EPIC Storm started not long ago, but his passion for the deck has been noted as perhaps excessive. When not found laughing maniacally in front of a magic table, Theo enjoys listening to Swedish heavy metal, learning obscure languages, and playing formats where he sadly can’t win on turn 1.

Mitch has been a follower of The EPIC Storm (TES) for close to decade. Due to his career as an athletic communications professional, his play with TES is mainly via Magic Online and local events. Mitch also pilots Storm in Modern and runs a website dedicated to it. Outside of Magic, Mitch enjoys athletics as well as board games and card games with family and friends.
