Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II ReviewHere's something that I've learned over the last fifteen or so years of reading Magic articles: if Jamie Wakefield writes something, it's worth your time to read it. Jamie is one of the original storytellers of Magic, and this book (along with his first book: The Quest For The Pro Tour (Volume 2)) collects many of his early tales of strategy, training, triumph, and heartbreak as he tries his best to dominate the game.
Quest for the Pro Tour II chronicles the time of Jamie's life that he is most famous for. It starts out with a quick review of some Tempest cards and then moves into the early stages of Secret Force, Jamie's signature deck. We hear about the initial deck idea and design, and Jamie's desire and determination to use this creation to qualify for the Pro Tour. The rest of the book is a mix of tournament reports, testing feedback, tweaks to the deck, and stories about Jamie and his friends having fun living the gaming life. The complete and total embrace of the gamer lifestyle reminds me a bit of my younger days, when friends and I would regularly engage in marathon gaming binges - which I sometimes look back on with fondness. Quest for the Pro Tour II is a great vehicle for that type of nostalgia, if that's your kind of thing.
While, as mentioned above, this book contains a very wide variety of articles - Jamie Wakefield is a master of the tournament report, and those entries are the high points of 'Secret Force'. He really brings the reader with him through the tournament experience, so much so that at times I'm pretty sure I want to topdeck a Natural Order just as badly as he does. These reports don't always end in glory and success, but they are always entertaining and usually end with a few solid lessons. In many ways I think that last sentence I typed is the perfect summary of Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II.
One last thing worth noting is that if you're a newer player, this book will probably mention a bunch of specific cards and decks that you're not familiar with. Expect to spend some time looking up older cards in order to truly follow along. This isn't really a serious negative, but I thought it was worth noting - keep a laptop or smartphone by your side, and you should be all set.Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II OverviewTempest has just been released and Jamie is enamored of the new card: Verdant Force. Shunning conventional deck building, as usual, Wakefield attempts to make a deck around the card that will earn him a slot at the next Pro Tour. Told by more traditional deck-builders that his creation will never work, that it "isn't even good enough for fun play" Jamie struggles through hundreds of testing sessions, local tournaments and Pro Tour Qualifiers striving to prove them wrong.
