Twitter really helped me become a part of the gaming community and get my name out there, then it was all about consistency, I never "blew up" myself, just continued to gain subs, little by little every day, until I got where I'm at. Be yourself, find your niche, and stay consistent, that is truly the best advice I can give!

[In order to improve your CCG gameplay,] I would say it's important to focus on deck building, knowing how to build a deck and putting a reasoning behind each card you choose helps you understand the game a lot better. I always advise against playing the top tier decks and spamming them to climb the ladder, being good a grinding one list does not translate into Tournament success IMHO… Always go into a match keeping in mind what you're going to have left in round 3 and how that is going to be enough to overcome your opponent.
