  Second armoury in the week, I’m taking my Dorinthea for a spin at JGH, A.K.A. Fai’s hideout :P ________________________________________________________________ 18 players turned up, 5 were on <Fai, Rising Rebellion> and I faced 2 of them. Game plan against <Fai, Rising Rebellion> is becoming clearer as the games pile up, but still it’s always a race Vs calculated aggression debate. Decklist remained the same as the last one, still feels good about it so no changes were made. ________________________________________________________________ Round 1 Arakni, Huntsman Equipment used: <Crown of Providence>, <Fyendal’s Spring Tunic>, <Braveforge Bracers> and <Refraction Bolters> Opponent is a local content creator who is quite dedicated to beating people up with off-meta decks. He has a YouTube channel that features his games on <Ser Boltyn, Breaker of Dawn> and I’ve learnt quite a bit from watching his game play videos. Here’s...

  Happy new year to whoever is reading this blog and of course thanks for reading~~ please leave some comments if you feel like~~ The lull week in between PQs here in Singapore, no event were fired during the weekend due to Lunar New Year. ________________________________________________________________ It’s once again Tuesday, that means Tano time! Decklist remained the same as the last one, still feels good about it so no changes were made. ________________________________________________________________ Round 1 Lexi, Livewire Equipment used: <Crown of Providence>, <Courage of Bladehold>, <Braveforge Bracers> and <Refraction Bolters> Boarded according to JL’s sideboard guide not knowing which version of Lexi my opponent is on. What I do know is that my opponent has been a very good theory crafter and deck builder since he started playing FaB. i was punished heavily for not knowing all the cards Lexi has access to. Game started with me th...

Thursday once again, Daimonji once again, Dorinthea once again!!! Mostly familiar faces and of course the hospitable store owner. ________________________________________________________________ https://fabrary.net/decks/01GNBD6578WD6TXVQQADGQ2QY6 Decklist remained the same as the last one, still feels good about it so no changes were made. ________________________________________________________________ Round 1 Dromai, Ash Artist Equipment used: <Crown of Providence>, <Fyendal’s Spring Tunic>, <Braveforge Bracers> and <Refraction Bolters> Before the game start, opponent commented that this is his first game against <Dorinthea, Ironsong> and that he’s worried I’ll just farm his dragons and get my <Dawnblade> very large, which indeed happened. The game started with my opponent not drawing dragons and just blocking very well against my weapon swings as he was drawing on average 1 D-react every turn for the first 3 to 4 turns of the ga...

  It’s finally the Pro-Quest season! I played in 2 PQs over the weekend and didn’t make top 8 in either. For the first PQ, it was at GamesHaven, 56 players, 6 rounds with cut to top 8. Having checked with the top cut calculator, only the top 4-2 player would make it in the top 8, I dropped after losing my second game in round 3, but the story doesn’t end there, in my participation packs, I opened a RF <Heart of Fyendal> and sold it on the spot to the TO, which almost covers my entire month worth of armoury and PQ :P. As for the second PQ on Sunday, it was at BricksPlay, 34 players, 6 rounds with top cut. I got rather unlucky in this tournament. In game 1 against <Fai, Rising Rebellion>, I won the die roll and went second, but my starting hand was 2 <Energy Potions>, <Pummel> and <Spoils of War>, a very good hand if I went first, but instead I took 10 damage in turn 0 and opponent just didn’t block any of my attacks and rode this initial life lead ...

  Second last armoury before the start of the Pro-Quest on Saturday. Decklist remained the same as the last one, still feels good about it so no changes were made. Round 1 Arakni, Huntsman Equipment used: <Crown of Providence>, <Courage of Bladehold>, <Braveforge Bracers> and <Refraction Bolters> Opponent was the one who borrowed my <Ser Boltyn, Breaker of Dawn> deck last week, he’s on Arakni this week. I’m not sure whether he’s played a lot in the past week or is he just naturally a very good TCG player, his piloting of his deck doesn’t look like a new player at all. He was very proficient in making all the right plays and up keeping with all of his triggers. The game started out with him having a life lead up to 12ish because I was blocking minimally. Opponent is letting all of my naked <Dawnblade> swing go through and I didn’t draw my <Run Through> until about turn 8, but once I was able to swing a second time and land a coun...
