This is really personnal :
I don't think there is not a "best" player than some others.
But the very good players are those who
- succeed in being performant in time, and in every format (constructed, limited..).
- perfectly knows the rules
- Practise the game intensivly, chosing the deck able to be the more performant (metagame) in constructed, who trained in limited format (drafting needs a real strategy).
- make few mistakes during the game.
There are a lot of good players but Magic is also a question of luck.
