Taylor is getting those reps in for Ascent London, so welcome to our first guest-hosted episode of Recollection Step featuring Maindeck David from @CarefulStudyPod!
In addition to being a vicious Fire Aggro player, David works hard to build and grow the PA Grand Archive community - and he makes content with other Maindeck teammates Stevo and Corbin (leoblade)! Through being denied twice, David brings to the table a discussion of the Creator's Guild and Content Creation in general - his lessons learned, and his mentality I think are extremely healthy in the face of a tantalizing prize pool that has proven more difficult for many to reach than expected.
I hope you enjoy this guest discussion about a bit of a different topic between Guild Member and Guild Hopeful - and make sure to subscribe to Careful Study if you enjoy hearing David's thoughts!
