I started preparing for the Duelyst Newbie Melee on Wednesday.

In between that time and now, I played 105 games in tourney prep on ladder testing decks, getting gold, disenchanting cards, and more.

The first thing I want to say is that was a mistake. As early as this morning I had winrates of 54% on ladder, but yet this afternoon they plummeted to a six game loss streak before winning one more.

After that, I gave myself a time-out. I realized I had burnt myself out. That being said, I still wanted to participate in the tournament and give it my best!

Here is the deck I used in the tournament:



For those of you who are wondering what a sideboard is, it’s a list of cards that can be swapped out during the second set of the match based on how your previous performance was and if you felt you needed to change anything.

I didn’t use my sideboard. I should have. It’s okay though! I learned a lot about my deck and playstyle.

My games were super close. We were within 1 turn of killing each other every game. My opponent nailed got me on the first game, I got him on the second – and he got me on the third. It was intense!

I had a lot of fun. I did get a bye which is when the tournament has an uneven amount of players and one advances forward to the next round automatically. I would have preferred not getting one if it meant I may have had the opportunity to play more games.

I have a couple ideas where to go to with this deck and we will be coming back to this in the future when the series has caught up to this point.

Next time will be even better! I had fun and can’t wait to join my next tournament.

Congratulations to my opponent Sizas and congratulations to the winner of the tournament Finley! Enjoy your prize.
