[Tournament] 19XX: Ace 4 - Tournament in progress!

Zqxx v @MR75
4-2

:midori::psfist::pschip::grave:
I somehow manage to win without even drawing a single 2* (despite working through 2/3 of my deck) and only spinning a single dragon card. Some times, some crimes.

:midori::pschip::psfist::grave:
He got a library card, learned to read, and downloaded my range. I don’t stand a chance.

:argagarg::pschip::psfist::grave:
A fish emerges from the water. MR75 has the BBQ ready, however, and I couldn’t handle the heat.

Getting Bubble Shield up is a really good tactic, as it turns out.

Exciting set with a lot of tense games! Very enjoyable and well-played on both sides.

The last round if don’t say that you think I would attack more like first five turns, I was supposed that you give up!
Ggs mate.
The last round :jaina: chose block and one dodge about 6 to 7 turns! And luckily I had many throws and win all in these turns! And I was worried if he will use her innate to kill me in 3 turns. However, her hand is not so good that I finished the game a few turns later.
Good luck next time.
And maybe a short tip for you - I see that you didn’t like to use Unstable power and this makes me more comfortable. So next time when you use Jaina maybe use more unstable power to give opponent more pressure.

I watched this match to see what happened. You threw alot. When the throws got the most egregious, you was in that weird Setuski 3-4 card hand area (note: you also threw after speed of the fox). This is an area where Sets typically dodges into K, Q attacks, or throws to get out of her hand. I can see why he blocked. Block beats 2/3 of those options. If he wins those combats, he can apply some pressure to a low/bad hand Setsuki. Those decisions were very conservative. They were not bad.

I also wanted to point out that Juu responded to your query about his blocking by explaining that he wanted to build hand and you had an attack heavy range in the prior games. This happened to be one of those times that you shifted gears to defeat your opponent. This is a very satisfying way to win. Good job.

How did you 3-2 against :argagarg: with :midori:

Man I suck at that matchup. :troq: is way easier

UTRALAW was still learning the MU. I also got insaaaanely good draws in most of the games.

I agree that Troq has an easier time, but it’s at least better than Rook v Arg.

Leontes vs. @Fluffiness, Round 2 Winners

Leontes wins 4-1

Fluffiness drew ZERO JOKERS in the entire set. ZERO.

ZERO GUYS. Usually post-Yomi salt people say things like “they draw all their jokers and I drew none” but he literally drew zero you guys. I didn’t find any for the first few games either, but toward the end I was able to use them as Gold Bursts and insurance to close it out, so I just ended up having a lot more firepower than Fluff these 5 games.

GL in the rest of the tournament sir!
