The Grand Prix turned out to be as fun as I expected. The first stage was easy; I beat the dragon on the first try, and then I just played until I got one win to get the pack. The second stage was not so easy – I didn't manage to win with the famous Swarm on the first try. On the second try, I took Forest and barely qualified:
The deck is, of course, quite specific: just look at the two Star Elves that I picked at the beginning – "yeah, I'll pick up some more Amulets" – and in the end, I was offered only useless Pixie Paradises. The Queen Healer never played once, nor did Cybele, who used to help me a lot in the arena, but the two Harlots simply carried the games. And in general, the games were quite intense and interesting, especially the fourth one, where my internet connection dropped for a minute, I didn't have time to finish the exchange, and then I survived and defended with 2 health points for several turns.
And here's another cool story. When you're offered Myrrabane as the second pick, you ignore it – "nah, I won't be able to build a deck around him." Then it's offered again – as the third pick from the end – and you suddenly realize that you don't have any duplicates. You take it. And, of course, in the last pick, you have a duplicate in both options:
I got my second loss here because I was greedy and didn't put down an Omen on turn 6, even though I already had an Albert in my hand – I chose a more "profitable" drop. My opponent responded with his own Omen, followed by heavy followers. The first rule of the arena is that anything can happen in the arena!)
