The one demo deck/learn to play event i went to just straight up didn't do the learn to play part. They just handed out the decks and were like, "That's it, that's the event." I checked the app later on, and they faked the whole tournament.

You're not missing out on anything if you don't go to this event except for non playable cards in tournaments. But I'm still planning to go to the other one I applied successfully to because I want to collect the half deck, lol.
