Some highlights: me guessing REALLY well with a K in the early game of #1, a clash between Eagle Totem and Surgical Strike in #2, my Game #4 attempt at a 100% hidden Surgical Strike for lethal…into a dodge.

Well, I took down Zane and then I stopped having any power to fight anyone else. OOPS.

I do enjoy playing Geiger vs Gwen. It makes me feel like the Incredible Hulk. I poke and pray in the early game, then smash in the late game. Pretty fun stuff.

Well played.

I really don’t like any of Gwen’s counters in this tournament, I’ve discovered.

Legion Vs @CarpeGuitarrem
Legion wins 4-3 (barely)
:jaina::pschip::psfist::quince: I’m playing a lot of jaina recently. Down to the wire, i lose due to a silent consent.
:setsuki::psfist::pschip::quince: carpe kicks my ass, i come back until my 7 beats carpe 9 at the last reveal for the win
:setsuki::psfist::pschip::geiger: down to the wire again, carpe is AA shy (refuses to play it and loses)
:setsuki::psfist::pschip::geiger: you know the drill, once again tense match until the last reveal.
:setsuki::pschip::psfist::rook: horrible hands help carpe using me as a doormat
:troq::pschip::psfist::rook: I start strong, then evertything goes south. I lose at the last reveal, dodging instead of using BU raw. play scared, lose scared.
:grave::psfist::pschip::rook: won by the skin of the teeth, carpe goes super down on cards but plays aggressively, like vs my troq, this time tho, i don’t shy from a naked TPOS that wrecks his vines for the win.
Respect and ggs!
All the games were super tense and fun!

Eek! Talk about near total disaster!

I’m out of the tournament now. Both Ivan and VengefulPickle crushed me with Midori. Next time I face the dragon, what should I do?

vengefulpickle vs @Nopethebard

:grave::psfist::pschip::menelker:
:grave::pschip::psfist::troq:
:vendetta::pschip::psfist::troq: got rekt
:midori::psfist::pschip::troq:
<break for 24 hours so that I could handle my youngest getting a stomach bug>
:midori::psfist::pschip::troq:
:midori::psfist::pschip::onimaru: I squeek this out by the skin of my damn teeth, and a final two turns GB into Dodge into AAA

Good games, @Nopethebard. Really enjoyed playing that set.
