22/11/2022 Tanoshimou (Blitz) 3-0




Kassai


Round 1: (Hatchets Boltyn)

Equipment used: <Crown of Providence>, <Courage of Bladehold>, <Braceforge Bracers>(might be better with <Gallantry Gold>), <Valiant Dynamo>


First couple of turns went without too much shake ups, opponent drew his <Spill Blood> early and brought me below 10hp. During a <Spoils of War> turn, opponent let me hit twice, giving me 6 coppers. From there I blocked as much as often, keeping only 2 cards to allow me reset my <Valiant Dynamo> for more blocking until I drew double <Blood on her Hands>. i used one without cracking my <Courage of Bladehold> and pitched 3 resources to swing for 12, next turn I cracked my <Courage of Bladehold> as well as <Gallantry Gold> and swung for 16 with a <Out for Blood> in hand for the W.


Round 2: (Dromai)

Equipment used: <Crown of Providence>, <Courage of Bladehold>, <Gallantry Gold>, <Valiant Dynamo>


Opponent started slow, hitting with <Sweeping Blow> and smaller Cenipais, invoking only an <Azvolai>. My copper generating was slow too, didn’t draw any <Spoils of War> or <Outland Skirmish>. Big outburst from me came when I drew <Spoils of War> along with <Stroke of Foresight> and generated 6 coppers in a single turn. By then we were both on less than 5 and I drew my <Blood on her Hands> and finished opponent off.


Round 3: (Raydn Boltyn)

Equipment Used: <Crown of Providence>, <Courage of Bladehold>, <Gallantry Gold>, <Valiant Dynamo>


Opponent  started the game rather aggressive, blocking minimally from hand and expanded most of his equipment block early in effort of setting up his <Lumina Ascension> turn. I hit him with a <Nourishing Emptiness> and drew up to 5 cards. He then charges a <Bolt of Courage> and pumping it with <Beacon of Victory> searching for his <Lumina Ascension> while he already had 1 in arsenal. He played both <Lumina Ascension> and threaten a triple swing with his <Raydn, Duskbane> for 15 damage. I gave it a thought and blocked with all 5 cards in hand plus my <Courage of Bladehold>, letting him gain 0 life and left him with 0 cards in his soul. Having nothing to do, I passed next turn and he charged a red <Take Flight>, I blocked for 3, he followed it up with a red <Valiant Thrust> for 7, I blocked for 4 with <Valiant Dynamo> and 1 card form hand. From there, I know he was out of gas. Very soon after I drew my <Blood on her Hands> and finished the game with a 20 damage turn with 4 weapon swings and red <Slice and Dice>.


Conclusion:

Felt good overall, some pivotal decision were made correctly like blocking as much as I could during <Spill Blood> turn, not blocking as much but race against the Dromai opponent as well as fully blocking out the double <Lumina Ascension> turn by the second Boltyn. Kassai benefit from Dynasty release in the form of blue <Precision Press> and red <Puncture>. Making equipment block harder for the opponent to ensure copper generation being more stable.

Potential change I’d make is probably increase count of attack reactions and maybe cut the <Warriors’ Valor>.

  Calling Phuket 2024 recall Been ages since my last blog post!!(which was for Calling Singapore back in 2023) So me and a bunch of friends went and attended the Calling Phuket 2024 which was held in Phuket(lol), and here’s a recount of the whole experience, main event, side event, games, collection growth, laughters and all the best/worst things to happen at the tourist favourite island of the friendly Thailand!! Before the actual recounting, here’s a shout out to the group of awesome company and friends, Alex, Darrell, Hermann, Jonnie, Joon, Kaiser, Mark and Ryan.

For me, it was the final tuning of my deck list and tournament excitement that kept m...

Calling Singapore recap

Having read Jin Han’s recap of his run at the Calling Singapore inspired me to write my own recap of this awesome event that I participated in. It was truly amazing how many friends a game can bring together and the positive vibe throughout the entire community was simply fascinating. Prior to the big event, I was deciding between <Uzuri, Switchblade> and <Dorinthea Ironsong>. Since the release of “Outsiders”, I’ve played <Uzuri, Switchblade> in my armouries and had decent success with it, be it the red liner version or the more mid-range contract version. Feels really good when people are not entirely sure what to do against her, but as time goes on and more and more people starting to dab into games with or against <Uzuri, Switchblade>, her damage cap per turn was quickly realised and people start to beat <Uzuri, Switchblade> to the race. <Uzuri, Switchblade> players started playing things like <Looking for Scrap> to increase their damage cap...

  06/12/2022 Tanoshimou (CC) 1-2 Another week, another armoury report! As it’s December, the prizes for armoury was for all participants, it’s a good opportunity to test out decks without worrying about the performance and reward, which is why I finally brought out the combo Boltyn I built like 2 months ago. Being a Storm player back in MTG, combo is my dish, but it doesn’t go much further than that, lol. I was able to perform the combo very proficiently, sequencing everything right and not missing any triggers, but the general game plan was something I need to be clearer about going forward, especially how to close out the game. Without too much further ado, I’ll start reflecting on the games. Disclaimer: decklist is a direct copy from Josh Lau and I followed his sideboard guide true and through.
