We actually lugged our luggages to our LGS and played a Nexus Night before travelling to the airport together ๐
TCGs are better with friends โจ
For the Hero Voting:
- I think the developer ban will go to Ira (shake up meta) or Oldhim (negative play exp)
- My vote goes to Kayo (allows other decks to shine)
- 2nd choice Briar (new lightning stuff incoming)
- 3rd choice Iyslander (next best deck in the format)
@WillLeeBrad@ezweb231@Pudding_Tam yeah, I totally felt it... 6-card hand! ๐ no wonder Tatsuya-san keeps 1 maindeck. And the thing blocks for 3 unlike the other Blessings ๐ฎ
Two of my favorite conversations during the whole event was with @Pudding_Tam who (7-0'd the Showdown and finished Top 4) and @ezweb231 about Ira during the last Sunday event. They have very different opinions on card choices but both make a lot of sense. 1/x
Also, the ideal number blues for Ira seemed to be 15 for now, which is 14 + your favorite utility Blue ๐ It's unlikely she'll survive the voting though, but the info is good to know ๐ 4/x
Pudding believed in cutting the fluff out of the deck (Blessing, Razor Reflex, Snatch, Salt) and it showed in his list, where used the extra space to pack both Mask of Many Faces and Life of the Party. 3/x
Also, he told me after the match that he's prepared for that endgame loop by trying to snipe the blue with Tear Asunder, so I doubt I can pull off that plan successfully without knowing about that counterplay and having a spare dreact in the Arsenal. ๐
I lost my features match due to lack of matchup knowledge and adjusted too late. But the lesson is to save my only blue to do kunai, kunai, flick, close chain then buy them back with my 3 reds and use my 40 health as padding. Congratulations to Ji for the Top 4!๐
We also received this nice care package (I already finished the snacks and drink) from @thefabfamfun ๐ You can also help send Matteo to Vegas as FaB's youngest PT competitor via their crowdfunding campaign ๐
Finally found time to post about the rest of my exp @ World Tour Jakarta! PH still did pretty well with Lean Alfafara Top 8'ing the Showdown, Chard and @justincu22 got Top 16, and Carl and James finished Top 32! ๐
Day 0 at World Tour Jakarta!
Fellow Pinoy Chris Mapalo got Top 8 at GCF Sage!
I managed to get this nice playmat ๐ kinda reminds me of Melina and Ranni from Elden Ring ๐
Also played against @RahmanxFAB!๐
And we got treated to evening snacks by Andhiko, thank you!๐
