After losing badly in my 1st tournament, I did not hesitate to try again in another one. The 2nd tournament is Toxic Holidays Spectacular organised by Fakemews9 or Toxic_GU. It is a single elimination bracket style and permitted cards are Welcome, Core and Order set. But no epic, legendary nor mythic cards are allowed. This does make things a bit more level for beginners like me.
Round of 256
First Match (War vs Nature)
Let's just say I was really lucky for this match. Beginning hand was not too bad and turn 2, the jaguar accidentally hit my shielded creature! And the god power missed my 1-health creature. What luck! After that, I think my opponent was trying very hard to draw cards (seems like a bad draw for him) while I just keep attacking with the small attacks. It ended by the 6-mana turn.
Second Match (Nature vs Nature)
My opponent decided to continue with Nature. Again, super lucky me! Somehow the opponent did not play any cards for a few turns and he told me after the match, that it was a very bad draw too. I had like a 3 turn advantage! When he finally summoned his Enforcer, it was too late. Everything has already been decided. This match ended by 5-mana turn.
Looking Back at the Matches...
I had only one thought - Lady luck was on my side! Apart from good deck and cards, luck does play a pretty important role in Gods Unchained. Having said that, I also realised having cards that you released every turn and sort of work with each other is super important, even if these are common or just normal Welcome set cards.
Gotta say I was surprised at my own win and was actually quite happy. Sorry PickleJar 😅 Hope everyone enjoyed watching the matches!
btw, I increased the playback speed and inserted some BGM so that it's not so boring.
