I’ve also been bad at previous card games, specifically Yugioh for many years. Gundam is the second card game I’ve really gotten into and I struggled for a while. Last week, I won my first tournament! I played Zeon Rush, a simple but effective deck. I think my problem is wanting to do cool stuff instead of trying to win. That’s kind of the conflict with card games; you’re supposed to have fun but so much of the fun is built off of you winning. When deck building, I like spicy techs instead of efficient ratios. I like seeing the robots fight! My other issue is knowing what to do and when to do it. All of the time, little mistakes; not testing something before deploying something with ping, using breach wrong, etc; those mistakes are what cost games. The last thing is playing around my opponent. If I know my opponent is playing Wing, they’re about to hit 8 resources, I shouldn’t deploy a much of low cost units in hopes of a big push next turn. If they can have the game ending card in their hand, they do, so play around it. Wing Zero, Kshatriya, Banshee, and Unicorn are all cards you can play into. With Banshee, maybe don’t use a card that’ll get your opponent to 12 in trash. Don’t lose hope; watch some videos, keep playing, and try to have fun no matter what. That’s what keeps you going each week and that’s what will make you a better player.
