. . . Troll. Take one of my worst deck ideas and turn it against me.
There's a place for people whom have to stroke their egos that way.
Will you stop talking about my cat already?
UGH.
Ok, on a serious note, the best way to become a better player is through experience and analysis. You look at the best decks, you investigate what makes them the best, then you do the same with other formats. What did they have in common, why was this the, which characteristics made it better than other decks at the time. As you learn what makes these decks better than the rest, you can try implementing that into your decks, then you see what the results were. You continue doing this until you're hypothesis is proven correct or incorrect, at which point you continue looking forward and investigating.
In short, the scientific method, if used correctly, can be used to improve yourself.
But above all else, LISTEN. If a player like Ryan Vergel comes and tells you to do one thing, and some random tells you to do another, you always take into account what the more experienced player says first. Don't just take their word for it though, ask, investigate, find out WHY you should make those changes. In short, TEST TEST TEST.
Hope this helped.
