This Article is in Dire Need of Elaboration

Maddeningly, this article is truly a stub. The burning question is as follows: where is he now? Rumor has it he developed a bad drug and alcohol problem about 10 years ago which led to his falling off the Pro Tour. Also, there is no mention of the near riot he incited at Pro Tour LA 1997, or his futile efforts to create a player's union. I would edit this myself but I have no sources to cite for any of this, just word of mouth.

Also, I know he was born circa 1970 because in an old issue of The Duelist that covered Worlds 1996, it describes him as a "26 year old card store owner from Utah." Unfortunately, I can't cite the source as I can't remember the issue number. I will have to search my collection of old magazines when I have the time.

The article is certainly a stub, no need to point this out when the template says it all. Regarding your points:

- I have heard about Justice's alcohol problems, too, but no such statement can go into the article without a source.
- If you want to write something about the riot at PT LA 97 you might find this to be an anchor point. Also personally I find it not too interesting especially when quoted outside the context of his efforts towards a player's union.
- Regarding the players union I actually did not know this. It would certainly nice to have that in the article, but I fear it is nigh impossible to find a source for that, especially due to WotC not being too fond of that idea. OdinFK (talk) 05:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth

I don't know his actual DoB but I found the Sideboard issue that lists him as being 26 in 1996 at the time of Worlds (The Sideboard, issue 3, vol. 1, Oct. 1996). I'm not sure how to edit the references list however as it seems to be written in code. Any help is appreciated. Machine Man (talk) 18:43, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
