I'm glad to be back! There was a good turnout for the event yesterday. I entered twice for the packs of course. The tournament itself was meh since it's like 95% luck. I went 2-2 like both times lol. Both times I didn't win the random play mat giveaways. That's what I definitely wanted. Back to that later though. Now for some details. So the event started at 10:00 AM. I got there a little early. I sat down at a table by myself and just kept to myself until the packs were handed out. I haven't been to my locals in a long time and people weren't so interested in speaking to me lol. So I finally got handed my packs and the promo after I lost my chances in the random play mat giveaway. I opened up my packs and pulled two Rares. Next pack was the Super Rare Bound Wand. Damnit! > Next pack was another Rare. Pretty much wasn't surprised since I have crappy luck with booster packs. Final pack I opened carefully but quickly with anxiety. What's this!?!?!?!? I pulled Cardcar D!!! I almost had a stroke from the excitement. People at the other tables didn't know yet but they kept looking over as they were very curious to what I had pulled. I didn't say anything but I went on to build my deck with the cards I just pulled for the tournament. Between rounds, I got more trading in and word went around quick that I was one of two people that pulled Cardcar D. I knew the card was hyped to $100 before the sneak preview because I did my research so I wasn't going to get ripped. I was getting offers left and right for the card but nothing that appealed to me. During a trade, this guy pulled out some cards he wanted to trade me for. One of them was Forbidden Chalice. These are the first people I started making trades with and I had 2 walking into the place. Then after I denied his offer, I looked at my cards and only saw 1 Forbidden Chalice. I was like, "WTF? Where is it?" They claimed to not know and to have put the card back. I never found it because I'm certain one of them stole it. I would have started to rage if it was a more expensive card but still I was angry. *massacre*Moving on though, I didn't get so lucky with the second entry of packs. More rares and Jumbo Drill. The set didn't have much to offer so mostly everything was useless. I was pretty burnt out on dueling with crap cards and losing in these tournaments. Pretty sure other players were cheating and adding in cards they pulled for the first entry. Which is not allowed. But I didn't care anymore. I won a prize of 1 pack of Hidden Arsenal 5. I went on to do some trading and got a lot of stuff I need. I completed my Dark World main deck but I'm missing the XYZ's now. I couldn't have a real duel since I didn't have a complete build. I managed to get a good trade in for some stuff I needed and the sneak preview play mat so now I have one again. One of the workers at the store announced that he had extra Galactic Overlord packs for sale. Everyone jumped at the opportunity and I decided to give it another shot just because. A kid nearby asked me right after I purchased the last 5 packs if he could have half of them. Who the hell are you? **** no. Kid had mental problems though and I'm serious on that one. I opened the packs I planned on saving for later. Only pulled Queen Dragun Djinn but oh well. Got 15 packs of the new set overall. Almost a full box. I did some more quick trading and that was about it. Magic had a sneak preview on the same day so we were forced to leave early. Overall it was an okay day. Successful for the most part. The next event I'll be more prepared and I plan on going to locals every Saturday. The Good:
- Pulled Cardcar D - Completed Dark World deck - Won a tournament prize - Got the Galactic Overlord Sneak Preview Playmat
The Bad:
- Having to leave early - Stolen Forbidden Chalice - Galactic Overlord is a bland set
