I have to agree, good start = better mood. On a side note I don't think I've ever played a match vs Seism where he didn't start with at least 3 quicksand in his opening hand. He is an automatic skip and mood killer for me.

Nah, Obliterator with Protected Pulverizer in second turns is a worse moodkiller.

It's kind of human nature, if something is going well you're going to be more apt to keep pursuing it; rather than if it went bad. In rare cases, you might run into someone who likes to "quit while they're ahead."

Yes, good start gets me to play more.

For me Dream Catcher with an early butterfly effect is even worse, because my deck is so permanent reliant and I don't use otyughs ;P

Anyway as long as I don't go bankrupt, losing does not affect my mood too much. I usually play as long as I have available time, no matter how many times I lose or how much bad luck I have. It's simple statistics, my deck wins approximately 50% of the time, so even if I lost 10 fights in a row, I expect 50% to win the next time. It's like flipping a coin. And statistics show that It's worth overall (in terms of electrum and score) so why quit? Bad luck does not change the fact it's on average worth trying.
And winning a morning glory from Divine Glory is certainly a nice reward for a steadfast approach.
May the force of the D4HK side be with U ^_^

Absolutely, but a bad start might do the same, i usually set goals when i start, like i want to up2cards then i wont stop until ive done so etc.

These days, with the addition of the new false gods, I play either zero games or a single game, depending what the oracle tells me. 

Too many auto quits to be fun.

I do about 10 FG wins and the winrate must be 50%. If I win 2-3 cards I'll continue, if I win less I might continue depending on what I feel like. Otherwise I do T50 or rather I just hang in chat and help people.

So yes, a good day makes me play more.

Yea my first 5 FG fights today were (in this order) Divine Glory, Decay, Dark matter, Divine Glory, Divine Glory.

Who wouldnt be pissed off?
LOL All D's. And all D's are hard FGs

If you are in a good mood, you will win a lot. I was in a good mood once, and I beat Elidnis with my un-upped FFQ deck. And I was a newbie at that time, playing for 1 week I guess.

Bad mood = You lose to Level 0's. That's why I don't play Elements when I am in a bad mood, like now.  >:(
