Western Tournament - Oct 30th - Halloween

[5pla5h]

I'm so excited... this will be my first official single player tournament. Be nice guys don't beat me up too badly please. 

We should be saying that to you
cuz... Shards...

Let me tell you that this kinda sucks for quite alot of people. Who seriously can compete in a tournament where you can change decks every match and upped cards are allowed?

People with more than one deck and (optionally) some unupped cards.

I know it seems daunting at first, with that first little set of cards.  Seems like money is scarce and even one upped card is an impossible goal that will take days of grinding on the AI to attain.  The truth is not so oppressive though.  There are a handful of unupped decks that can reliably beat some of the AI6 decks.  You'll maybe win 1 out of every 5, but selling an upped card from the AI6 (or if you're lucky, two or three) nets you a little over 1100 electrum-- what would take hours grinding on AI3 on dozens of games.

Get an unupped godkiller deck, earn some money.  Start working towards a more efficient upped godkiller.  Once you're there, money is no issue.  I went from having nothing to over 600 cards (with about 100 upped) in a month of very casual play.  I might play a few nights a week for no more than an hour.  In that small amount of time I went from being a total scrub, wondering how the hell I'm ever going to play in tournaments (where you are) to playing on even keel with the tournament vets. 

It's a fairly short road from nothing to swimming in electrum.  The longest stretch is getting from the starting deck to a godkiller deck and building an upped godkiller.  So you can set your sights on that and aim to be a viable tournament player, or you can choose to stay where you are and place the responsibility of your lack of accomplishment in the game at the feet of those who are not responsible for it. 

The tools are there for you to reach the plateau you seek.  Seize them.

Jack-o-lanterns, people dressing up as Satan, and lighting bags of dog doo on fire all come to mind.

Sorry, but why would people do this on halloween? I've never heard of anyone doing this. ???

[twinsbuster]

ya, I think something like "at least 70% of death or darkness cards in deck" will fit the halloween theme much better,
but now just let it be.

The idea is to light a bag of poo on fire on the doorstep of someone's house, ring the doorbell, then run and hide. When the owner of the house comes to the door, he/she sees a flaming bag and proceeds to stomp out the flames, thereby splashing the poo all over the place.

Not my choice of amusing practical jokes, but there it is

I see. Well as you both have your flags as US I'll assume that's something that goes on there. We don't do that in England (Thank God, I wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of this prank )
