Didn't get lucky in the Tier 2 Grand Prix, but got lucky in the regular one... Went 5-0 with the Sword deck.
To be honest, I was unhappy with the draft and skeptical about the deck's potential. It wasn't even clear how it was supposed to win. Unless I could pull off a Mars + evolved Cavalier combo (which didn't happen) or hope that the Master Samurai on Enhance would survive a turn and deal 8-10 damage (lol, that didn't happen either). So, these were really long, grindy matches... And Retribution ended up being the finisher twice, lol.
Won one match with a turn to spare before the deck ran out :o
And here's the opposite situation. I could have easily let my opponent live for another turn, even though I had lethal. The opponent spent a long time messing around with the Golden Okami, clearing my board with it every turn, but at the same time, he wasn't really developing his own board, constantly taking damage. I think he was really struggling to play B&B because of the threat of lethal, although maybe he topdecked it as his last card, who knows... So, I won against the final GM boss with a full hand, while I myself was relying on topdecks for almost half the game)).
