2008 World Singles Champion, 2007 Team Worlds Champion, 2007 US Nationals Singles Champion, 2007 and 2008 ECC Champion as well as many other AoP/FoP titles and numerous Top 8's at various major and minor events - there isn't a whole lot that James Hata hasn't done in this game. He ends his competitive career on the highest possible note as he leaves to join FFG as UFS Lead Developer in a few weeks, so I thought I'd talk to him about his entire history in the game and his plans for the future in this comprehensive interview. I've been lucky enough to play against him in and out of competition many times and am also proud to call him a friend, so it's with some sadness that I see him leave top level UFS behind but also with a lot of hope for the direction of the game in his capable hands, and I know you all feel the same way. Here's what he had to say on the scope of his past successes and what the next chapter holds in store for him

Mad Scientist deck building is a concept I've learned and developed from top players. It is basically building something unorthodox, unordinary, extraordinary, etc. Building something so off the wall people look at you with raised eye-brows and raised curiosity. The first person I saw to build this way was Jihan or Goo on the ffg forums. This beast is mad crazy and inspired me and other top players such as Paul Bittner to build 80, 90, or even in my case 100 card decks!! These decks usually contain tons of damage reduction, life gain and mill/draw cards.
Now you might be asking yourself, isn't it a little more consistent, logical, not NUTS to build a 60 card deck? Why yes young jedi it is, but free your mind as Morpheus would say and let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
