[color removed, names removed to hide their identities]

Trainer 1, "So Desert, looking at this week's tournament you'll see it is quite the challenge, it involves two of your worst attributes: upped cards and deck building on the fly"

Trainer 2, "...it means you can end up unlucky and be forced to play an unupped deck."

Trainer 1, "Most of the opponents will be advanced and professionals who not only have a good majority of the cards, electrum, and a natural talent for building decks."

Me, "What the hell?! This is a bad idea, no matter how you look at it! Shouldn't I put this off until I'm ready?"

Trainer 2, "*laughs* Don't run away now."

(someone interrupts our chat)

Pro, "Frankly, winning tournaments boils down to one thing: Experience. Skilled pros are mindful about things you don't even consider. They've gained a natural sense of how the game works at the upped level, that to be honest, a n00b at your level can't reach with practice alone."

... he continues, "The number of practices, and these "drift grinding" crap you do is not equivalent to the 'quality' practice runs that we do

...even if you have "luck" from the RNG, or natural talent for playing, it only means you'll improve faster than another n00b who does not have it.

there is no such thing as an instinctive "gift" that could out do accumulated effort and practice .. at least I've never seen it once. "

me, ":/"

Best kind of speed building tournament: An upgraded one.  Since I am not fortunate to own most upped cards, I get to:
  • Hope any of the selected cards I own upgraded
  • Build a deck with card and money restrictions, hope it is good enough
  • Upgrade what I can while the time ticks down
And if all fails, I can use un-upgraded cards.  *Shrug*  Sounds fun!

Hopefully the cards I got from FG grinding have payed off, besides losing about 1,000 :electrum over the course of a week doing getting those cards. :-\ Maybe AI3 will give me a fair shot at getting cards upgraded faster...

Speed building is probably my strongest skill too.  It's a shame I probably won't be able to compete since I have company this weekend.  :(
Carpe Diem!!

So sad - this tourney looks like so much fun - but 1am hurts as a starting time, especially when I have plans for the rest of Saturday - so unless I suddenly come up with insomnia (don't laugh it happens) you can all have as much fun as possible without me - don't cry too much.

Lol, 15 minutes before the tournament starts we will be the scariest :darkness and most dangerous :fire people in the world when disturbed.

I really should buy a "Do no Disturb" hat for elements tournaments.  ;D

Allowing upped in a speed building boils down to pre-owning a lot of upped cards. Heh, finally something that prefers oldtimer grinders.
It feels a bit unfair towards people with little or no upped cards.
