Woo, Tournament luck.

Like TheLostAngel, I usually have horrible, horrible luck with tournaments. On a whim, though, yesterday I joined an enclave tourney. Had a pretty good xeno deck with a couple anti-xeno strike cards (strike xeno 2 structure and strike xeno 2 regenerate 2 imperial) and arc trooper. I started off well but simply ran into 90% pure anti-xeno decks so I was pretty much screwed.

I went back to the tourney page and noticed gold packs, so I gave it one more try. I first noticed ... omg. Atlas? Tiamat? There was also a stormrunner and a couple other imperials and two pelicans, so I put this together:



I later found out it was a 24 hour tournament, but I got into the top 5% with 9/2 (then 12/4 after losing 2 battles and dropping below and winning 3 to catch up again). Today I slipped down slightly so I won another battle for 13/4 and seem to be holding steady. There's 1 hour left and I'm pretty excited to see how things go and what I get.

I kind of wonder if I would be able to push into the front, but I'm still a tournament rookie (this is my 11th entry) so I don't want to jeopardize my first success.

Atlas + Tiamet in a tournament *drools*

Surprisingly the tiamat only kicked butt in a few battles (most of the time I didn't get it, or it died quickly). But it definitely helped.

An update on the tourney. I got 17/4 and was rising past the top 2%, then everything went to hell and suddenly nothing was working out so I lost 4 battles in a row. I managed to win another two just now, but now the tournament is over (which might be a reason for things turning so sharply too). Final placement is 62/1618 (3.8%) with a score of 19/8. That was fun for a change.

nice I'm still waiting for appolo
