So I went 2-0 and got the prize of two packs of GD02 and a new Winner Pack. I pulled Gusion Rebake and Four Murasame from my packs and Quattro Bajeena from the Winner Pack, which was all quite good. I'm hoping to slowly win more packs though locals like this to collect everything from the new set.

green/white Wing Zero with the two copies of Rick Dias he pulled from release events, haha. I won the first game by getting a pretty decent aggressive start to eventually put pressure on him in the late game, and then won the second game by running him out of cards.

late into the night. So anyways, there was only one other player at the LGS, so the organizer just let us do a 2-person tournament. This was a regular from the locals, so we knew each other and agreed to play a best-of-three. I was on blue/white Freedom Rebuild with no new cards, and he was playing

I was planning on going to another release event for GD02 tonight, but instead decided to attend a regular locals at the card shop I normally go to on Wednesday nights. I figured the expected value of the release event wasn't good enough in this particular case since it would also probably go on

Going undefeated earned me a big chunk of store credit, more than refunding the entry fee. I plan on going back for the Monday event, so both of these ended up being effectively free for me, haha. I also pulled a Barbatos 1st Form out of the extra pack the owner gave out, so that was really good.

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 1d

Anyways, I thought my deck wasn't that great, but it turns out that knowing how to build with a proper curve and understanding that the late-game bombs are important is plenty good when no one else is used to sealed, haha. So with that and just playing well, I managed to go 3-0 for the night.

this format going in, but I have a decent amount of experience playing limited formats for other games, so I figured out an okay deck given my sealed pool. I only pulled one LR, and it was the cheapest one, Gundam Versago, so there was no value there. At least it's a good card in sealed?

Went to a GD02 Dual Impact release event at the card shop with the hands-off owner. There were 30 players there tonight.
The format was Sealed, so each player got 4 packs (12 cards each) and had to build a 30-card deck out of them with no color restrictions. I wasn't sure of exactly how to approach

The two boxes of GD02 that I preordered and was supposed to be able to pick up in a few hours got delayed until next week...
I guess it's a good thing I don't really need any of the new cards right away, but I was looking forward to it. At least I have the release events this weekend though.

the Gundam Card Game accessories. I got an official deck box that came with the Strike EX Base and Lacus Clyne EX Resource tokens. I don't really like the way Lacus Clyne looks in this art, but I'd been looking for the Strike EX base, haha. Glad I was able to finally get them, and for free at that!

misplayed a lot. He maybe could've won if he had played his cards better, but I was able to take advantage and win pretty handily.
So I ended up going 3-1 and somehow getting 3rd place despite my awful tiebreakers. That meant I got some store credit, but I also won one of the raffles for

him out of cards before putting him on a clock with my attackers. He hit two copies of Amuro as his third and fourth shields, but it didn't matter; after all, I wouldn't have given him those shields if it did matter. Won the last round against green/white Wing Zero; he drew very well, but also

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 2d

I didn't have any way to gain card advantage and he dropped four link units in succession, so I couldn't catch up. Got a bye for the second round, so I just went around watching other matches. Won the third round against blue/red Cyber-Newtype; I was able to hold off his aggro pretty well and run

Went to the usual Thursday night Gundam locals. There were only 13 players tonight, but that's unsurprising since the new set drops tomorrow. I was playing my blue/white Freedom Rebuild deck and my Zeon Aggro friend was as well.
Lost the first round to red/white Neo Zeon Blockers;

and apparently there was an additional special prize for 1st place. They gave me this HG model kit for the Gundam from the Netflix series, which I didn't even know was a thing. I guess it's going to go on the pile of unopened model kits I still haven't built, haha.

but I was constantly threatening lethal, so he couldn't actually put me on a clock by breaking shields. He ended up decking out, but based on the cards left in my deck, I would've won regardless.
So I ended up going 3-0 and getting 1st place. I pulled some pretty decent cards from my prize packs,

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 3d

but we did continue playing afterwards since it was the last round anyways. We both got down to a point where we had 6 cards left in deck with him barely hanging on with one shield, but he was going to deck-out first, so he had to play the aggressor. He was able to stabilize decently well,

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 3d

Won the last round against my friend in the mirror match; I had a very strong start while he had a more normal start, so I applied a ton of pressure early on without losing in card advantage. Our game went to time, and I won at the end of the three turns since I was so far ahead on shields,

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 3d

but he played a linked Sword Strike early on and had to keep bouncing my damaged piloted units when he attacked with it, so I got to keep reusing my pilots and gaining tempo when I would clear his other units. I eventually ran him out of cards and won in the late game, as this deck does.

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 3d

Won the first round against green/white Wing Zero; he had kind of an awkward opening whereas I had a pretty solid one, so I was able to press my advantage and put him on the defensive the entire game. Won the second round against green/white Wing Zero; I didn't have as strong of a start,

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 3d

Went to the usual Wednesday night Gundam locals. It was slow again since this was the last week before the new set drops, so there were only 11 players in attendance tonight. I was on blue/white Freedom Rebuild and so was my Zeon Aggro friend, as usual.

Now that I've experienced a bit of Final Fantasy draft, I can definitely see why it's considered fun. It's kind of neat to have reprints of iconic old cards randomly appear. I had Fatal Push and Light Up the Stage in my deck, and there were plenty of other bonus sheet cards floating around, haha.

Haku @haku5z.bsky.social · 6d

I was able to win pretty quickly with all of the card advantage he was getting me, allowing me to take the match 2-1.
Last round was against the player who organized the draft; they were on RG Landfall. I was able to aggro them down pretty handily with all of the Wizard burn and won the match 2-0.

an advantage. They were on UG Lands Matter and took the first game with their big vanillas since I barely drew any removal, but I sided in more and won the second game. In the third game, I cast Dark Confidant on turn 2, eliciting a "WTF?" from my opponent; they didn't know Bob was in the set, haha.
