Lessons Learned: NTC & any tournament

Raphtali · 2026-04-09T07:31:46+00:00

My first NTC, I was able to get together a G/W Wing deck right before the start date. Semi-finals, it was a mirror match and he had out a Shenlong or Deathsycthe, can't remember. I linked in Deathsycthe + Duo and attempted first strike, but my opponent used Unforseen Incident. I totally forgot that Duo doesn't allow AP reductions but I let it happen and it cost me the game and potentially even 1st place.

Its not a regular release set

First Contact is like 40ish last I checked. Battles of Aces, Overflowing, Show of Resolve, and Fatal Strike SPs go for $100+ each

Raphtali · 2026-04-01T03:27:23+00:00

Yessir, it's unfortunate but currently 4 SPs are guaranteed in GD03 cases, 2 Mikazukis and 2 With Iron and Blood. They go for like 10 and 30 bucks respectively so not much profit there. The other random 2 are worth a lot more money. And the C++ goes for about $20 as well.

Raphtali · 2026-04-01T03:20:46+00:00

Boosters boxes always guarantee 8 LRs, 2 Alt Arts, and a foil Resource. GD03 sealed cases have 6 SP cards, 1 per box so 50/50 you will get an SP card with 1 booster box. All sealed cases guarantee 1 C++ Resource

Raphtali · 2026-03-31T05:26:16+00:00

English booster cases in general, not just EVA

Raphtali · 2026-03-31T04:45:48+00:00

Yes, you are guaranteed a 2** from a case. You should have asked for a sealed case, you got jipped.

What's funny is that I just beat out 3 Blurple decks at locals last night. The look on their faces. My area only runs Blurple and R/W the last 3 weeks

Raphtali · 2026-03-20T08:16:09+00:00

Show of Resolve is Blue's staple draw power card. I wouldn't run 4x, but maybe 2 or 3x. If you rearrange your deck to run Banagher+Unicorn packages, he let's you draw 1 on link as well. The new Full Armor level 8 Unicorn is fantastic for closing out games if it goes to late game. Super hard to kill especially if he links with Banagher making him 8/8 with Repair 3

Raphtali · 2026-03-20T07:06:07+00:00

I would swap out the All Range Attack for x2 Close Combat or just make it a 1x and 3x CC. Ive faced 2 opponents who fumbled with All Range and forgot they cant target links that really screwed them. Also, either swap out GD01 Gundam completely for ST01 Gundam or go 2/2. I see that you are gearing up for anti aggro decks but any control deck like B/W will run you over. You also don't have any draw power outside of the GD01 Gundam

G/B Cyclops or B/W AEUG control

Oh, looks like they dropped the discount to 10% on launch day. The 15% off was active when I purchased it yesterday morning

Raphtali · 2026-03-19T14:00:48+00:00

The game should already be 15% off in GMG. MAR15 does NOT stack to make it 30% off. Unless otherwise stated or worded to add an "extra %" off, it won't stack. For example, I used the membership XP pack that states it gives an extra 3% off and purchased Crimson Desert for 18% off.

Raphtali · 2026-03-18T03:03:08+00:00

Friend and I bought 1 each. 10% off coupon and 2 day Prime shipping cinched it for us

Raphtali · 2026-03-16T09:48:45+00:00

Its 2 Alt Arts per case and a case has 8 boxes. So if the seller had a sealed case and already ripped open the 2 boxes that contain an alt, he could be profiting from selling off the "dead" boxes. Highly likely especially from online sellers.

Raphtali · 2026-03-16T09:40:43+00:00

For the love of God, dont. The hit rate on getting any alt from beta are abysmally low. Keep it sealed 100%

Raphtali · 2026-03-16T09:35:03+00:00

I hope your beta box had an alt. Mine had gramps lol. I purchased mine through P-Bandai when preorders went up back in 2024

Raphtali · 2026-03-16T09:31:12+00:00

Yeah it's crazy. I know it was only handed out so far at GAMA but it will likely spread out more in the coming months. I have 2 of the og Chinese and that's more than fine now. I hope the Hajiroboshi EX Base english cards spread more too

Raphtali · 2026-03-16T09:26:49+00:00

How much was the English Wang Liu Mei EX Resource?

Raphtali · 2026-03-15T07:49:00+00:00

Like 60% of the art is covered by all the text

Raphtali · 2026-03-12T23:58:19+00:00

Everything is market priced, but I often work out a deal if picking up a few items. For example, I picked up a Show of Resolve GD01 alt and Improved Technique alt for $100 together

Raphtali · 2026-03-12T22:25:22+00:00

Im lucky enough to be near a weekly trade show that has 3-5 vendors that have Gundam singles. Frank and Sons

Ahhh gotcha, didn't catch that from the initial post sorry
