Now there goes the “bad side of getting used to it…” Yeah, I’ve been longing to play magic again since my last sanctioned tournament was November 2009. And when I finished 0-4 last Worldwake PR, my boyfriend did his best to cheer me up and kept encouraging me to play again. Whether it’s with sugar-coating or not, I’m thankful for it. The problem with me is that when I get lethargic, it remains as it is until something perks my interest again. I’ve been playing magic for a year and I got addicted to it until I found no more time playing the game. It’s not a matter of preference, it just so happened that few circumstances restricted me from doing so.

I enjoyed playing but it was my first time to go home without a booster prize so I keep asking what went wrong…

Well, I’m not a PRO and there are more things I have to learn. The BREAD Acronym has been my guiding star ever since my first PR and it helped me a lot. Sad to say, no removals to make my day…

There’s always a better way of constructing a deck and this is the most that I can come up with:

And here’s some of the memorable cards during that day:

My MVP (if only there’s no Roil Elemental)

Sadistic Sacrament (It was my opponent’s accomplishment – successfully kicked twice on two different match. Liz = Concede)

And the card to remind me of my carelessness not only once…

My Top Misplays
1. Opponent is down to four, no blocker, no open mana. I have Raging Ravine and enough mana to make it an elemental creature and end the game but I was absent-minded.

2. I forgot that Bojuka Brigand can’t block so when my opponent has the same number of creatures as mine, I am hesitant to attack though he is down to 4 and I’m down to 6. Dread Statuary could have zeroed his life!

Things I have to keep working on:
- Presence of mind.
- Confidence.
- Consistency.
- Creativity.

My boyfriend and I playtested our decks at home. As expected, I did not win. To add insult to injury, when we exchanged decks, HE WON. Tsk. What’s wrong with me?! *spaced out*
