Apparently my brother became the #8 mtg player in the US? I'm hazy on what i was told (i think they were mistaken coz i looked up the rankings), but he's been killing it in tournaments.

If he's been playing in the Pro Tour this weekend then that might be accurate. Otherwise he probably just got top 8 in a big tourney, which is still impressive.

How old is your brother? This is actually pretty interesting but you probably don't know many details or want to give out his name.
