Multiple rationalists have been internationally ranked Magic: The Gathering players (at least Zvi Mowshowitz and Aaron Gertler, there might be others).
Zvi entered the magic hall of fame in 2007, which suggests that he was a good magic player before the rationalist community existed. In any case, Magic isn’t a highly rewarding activity and “becoming a professional magic player” doesn’t seem like a rationalist career choice. It’s likely that the rationalist thinking got him out of being a magic pro.
