Ep 11: 2nd Set Champ Weekend

[@captjacksparrow1120]

Enjoyed the episode. Keep them coming. Congrats on the finishes.

[@LycanXXV]

Agreed on the bucky take! Discard is my least favorite archetype in all TCGs because the core plan is to stop the opposing player from being able to make decisions or play the game in the worst of cases.

I feel for you. It is reverse for me though. My friend keeps on beating me with ruby amethyst in top 8 when I play blue steel.

[@Noninkables]

My friend that I play blue steel against runs both Arges and Mickey Mouse detective and the Arges really ruins my Flynn plans. The MM makes be king undisputed and Lady Tremaine less useful.

[@adamridgley5605]

@Noninkables yeah I do too. He just seems to have all the answers lol.

I’m not really sure where all the negative connotations for IDing into a top cut came from in this game? It’s not shameful to do so in fact it’d be strategically unsound to not ID when able to because you’re just taking an unnecessary risk for no reason. Anyone who says you shouldn’t ID into a top cut when able either doesn’t understand tournament structure fundamentals or too focused on themselves and how they aren’t able to do so and are willing to detriment another individual because of it. So don’t feel shame for playing so well that you have an opportunity to ID into a top cut. Be proud of that accomplishment.

[@Noninkables]

I think it was partly my TCG naiveté and just not understanding the math at it all. Last set champs I couldn't understand why people would ID and not just play.

[@NathanRoney-vr4em]

@@Noninkables It’s all good, I’m not bashing you or nothing like that. Just trying to affirm that IDing into a top cut when able to do so is absolutely fine and not like a disgraceful act or nothing. The Lorcana community has had some trouble grasping that notion for some odd reason.
