4th Place at BSF Duluth with Bavs! 9-2 on the day!
Even post ban this deck is very strong. Thank you @BracelandVG for the list and theory crafting, @starling_brib for coaching, and my teammates who aren’t on twitter for teaming.

As it turns out, I guess I mean half a year when I say the near future!
This is a sorta experimental foray into whether I want to make more instructional material. I really hope folks find it helpful, and will happily take feedback on things I can change to make it easier to use!

[Kinetic @KineticVG]

Overall I definitely wanted at least one top cut this singles season after the teams performance I had, but it just means I’ll have to try harder next time
Thanks to all my opponents this year and I hope to see many of you at BSF. If you want any info, please ask.
13/13

Day 2 - Played Shadowverse (Sekka) for the first time, 1-3 drop, made a poor decision to play beast Sekka over wasteland Sekka due to being new. Not worth even talking MUs or losses as I was mostly just testing the water
8/x

To my understanding this deck is fairly underrated and I think it was a good pick for the room, very proud of my improvement in SVE even with limited testing, I hope to do better next singes season, as I likely cannot play SVE for BSF to focus on Vanguard Singles

BCS Duluth
Day 1 - Played Krysrain, ended 5-2, 52nd
Loss #1 vs Vyrgilla - t2 vyrg got crit, t3 was good setup and couldn’t survive persona Alfknight due to early game guard used
Loss #2 vs Lianorn - lots of early game pressure + some early crits while hand was low, no PGs
7/x

BCS 25/26’ Wrap Up
This was my first year traveling for BCS outside of Duluth and while my results aren’t quite where I wanted them to be, I believe most of the games I played to a level I’m happy with. Don’t plan to go over individual matchups, just notes on losses 1/x

[Kinetic @KineticVG]

Day 2 - Played Victor ended 5-2, 22nd
Loss #1 - vs Nightrose, couldn’t check a defensive vs first stride while opponent attacks 6+ times, used units to guard, so no clap back turn and died to Bart
Loss #2 - vs Narukami, no PGs end of t3 with Bustered, got Dragveda’d
6/x

[Kinetic @KineticVG]

BCS Rosemont
Day 1 - Played Bavsargra, ended 5-2, 50th
Loss #1 vs Luru, used pgs too early vs Luru, which left me open to getting Red OTd very late in the game
Loss #2 vs Bavs mirror, incorrect decision making when damage denied early. Should’ve gone sword > mace off Kaank
5/x

[Kinetic @KineticVG]

Lastly @crowtrickster for believing in me and bringing me onto Crow’s Nest, hope to do the team proud at BSF
Now onto the days, decks, scores and some notes on my losses

I want to start by thanking some important individuals
First @starling_brib for being one of the best friends I could ever have and I cannot overstate what she’s done for me in just the year I’ve known her, and I know she’ll do well in EU next year, hope to visit soon
