Or as we have been calling it GP Hang Out!
Going to say that I am super stoked to be going to this. Trevor and I got a hotel room for the weekend, so for the first time ever we won’t be in a constant time crunch to go here there and everywhere. If I scrub out, I have side events to play in! And I can win all kinds of things! This ‘Gold Rush’ thing they are doing seems pretty awesome.
It is sealed, which is probably my worst format, so I don’t expect to do super well. Although this set plays a little bit more in limited like I’m used to playing, so I’m not sure. I could do really well. Time will tell. Hopefully I can get another beast Simic/Dimir pool and really get things cooking!
I’ll have a tournament report up sometime next week(barring crazy which will probably happen).
Tell me if you are going to be there!
It’s not going to be as easy to build a deck as the pre-release was, but just remember to separate your colors and see what you have the most of. Focus on having quite a few creatures, some removal, and a decent mana curve and you should be able to steal a few wins! Good luck to you. I plan on going to GP Yokohama next weekend, which is also sealed. Let us know what cards you thought were strong in sealed!
Oh yeah! I’ve done a couple of sealed events since then, or practice rounds with the box we bought.
I always lay out the colors and then see what kind of curve they give me, along with figuring out which fixings I have. The people I play with are going to do another round tonight probably. Plus practice Friday at the event.
I’ll keep you updated for sure!
Even with all those tips, I still have trouble gauging how strong some cards are in limited. I’ve gotten better, but I’m not sure how I’ll do at the Yokohama Grand Prix next week. I’m hoping I can finish with a winning record!
Good luck! We did a practice run through yesterday and I feel a bit better about it. I figure if I scrub out, there are tons of side events there with tons of prizes. StarCity is doing something called a a Gold Rush.
