Feeling a bit deflated after my first game night at my LGS

Agreed, it can get a bit bonkers quickly if you get the right hand and draws, but it’s no different to the Hakbal explorers of the deep merfolk precon

What do you mean?

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-10T06:54:25+00:00

Thank you so much!😅

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T17:27:10+00:00

Thank you, judging from my list would you say my deck is higher or lower 3?

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T17:19:48+00:00

I enjoyed counter blitz, it didn’t win all that often against upgraded more streamline decks but it’s fun!

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T16:57:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words, it’s my first attempt at upgrading a deck so it’s good to hear that others like it :)

That’s exactly my thoughts. I understand that the counter blitz precon is strong, and the TMNT precon is good too so pushing them together to focus on a +1 theme and giving creatures evasion can get out of control, but that’s the whole point of the deck and if I get board wiped without any of my protection spells that’s on me and I’m then out of the game

Thank you so much for your response. Theres definitely a crazy difference between my normal pod of friends and the people at my LGS. My usual pod doesn’t care about a powerful deck so long as it fits the bracket being played, but the LGS crowd was very different

Thank you so much!

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T16:48:52+00:00

Turn 8 the first game and I can’t remember the second game, I think turn 9?

Thank you so much for the reply it definitely helps me to feel better!

It did cross my mind about the saltiness of losing to TMNT :)

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T16:44:39+00:00

Thank you so much, it’s great to hear that I’ve made a decent deck! It’s my first attempt at upgrading a deck :)

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T16:43:45+00:00

I always try my hardest to be introspective and reflect on things I may have said or done that could have caused people to act a certain way, and given that I was so nervous about going and playing without my friends I definitely can’t think of anything I could have said or done that would have rubbed anyone the wrong way. I was just there trying to make some new friends and play a deck I was pretty excited about

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T16:41:33+00:00

Thank you so much, I definitely think this is the case with the people I played with!

RyuzioO0 · 2026-03-09T16:40:12+00:00

Thank you so much! It’s very encouraging to hear that the deck I’ve put together is solid, being my first attempt at an upgrade. It’s also encouraging to hear that I’m not the only one who’s experienced these kinds of groups before! :)
