First Vanguard tournament. ^ ^

Today, I actually entered a tournament. It was a "Battle Royal" as the shop owner called it (Harrison's Comics, Nashua NH). To be honest, I really enjoyed it. It was also free, which was a plus and seemed to pop up out of nowhere. I always miss the tournaments because I have to work and come late to play, but this time I could finally enter.

Battle Royal is where everyone sits around the table, plays the person across from them, rotates to the left, and continues until everyone has played each of their opponents twice. The prize was two boosters, which normally seems lame, but it was free and everyone was already playing anyways. I had just finished my Paladin deck and had taken a few losses from myself (using Kagero) and my friend and then from one of the best players there. With Kagero, I can usually win at least half of the time, but I think I was rushing into and essentially wasting Soul Saver Dragon. I was playing way to offensively, hoping to finish them off with my Grade 3 ride of Soul Saver. Unfortunately, I was too careless defending myself and quickly racked up losses. Somewhere along the way, I learned I patience or something...

Anyways, the Battle Royal began and I was never riding Soul Saver as my first Grade 3, which made it all the better. I won my first four games and was quite cocky at the end, so I lost my fifth, although not due to any horrible misplays or anything. To be honest, I think my attitude changes whether I win or lose...

Anyways, I ended up in a three way tie for first (we cut the Royal short due to time) with the TO and some guy named Eddie. So, in the end we both got a pack. He got a Gigantic Charger and I got a Top Idol Flores. I like that card, although I don't think I'll ever use it...
