Coach Ken’s Middle of the Night OPTCG Tip

“Organize your cards.”

Where the fuck is my 4th Cavendish? I swear I left it right here.

Coach Ken’s TCG tip of the day

“Read the room.”

Sometimes we play hard. Sometimes we get sweaty.

Sometimes your opponent is 14 and has never played a card game in their lives.

Sometimes it’s OK to dial back the sweat, and tone down the ruthless aggression.

Just TRY and read the room.

Coach Ken’s TCG tip of the day!

“Pack heat in the first page of your binder.”

The first page of your binder is what people will flip to first. So always make a good first impression!

Also is anyone looking for the elusive Chipotle SEC 🤓

My local serves food and brews.

So when I walk in, I try my best to radiate favorite cousin energy 🏃‍♂️

When I leave the local after a string of losses, I tend to radiate drunk uncle energy 🥴

Coach Ken’s Tip of the day

“Practice losing with Grace.”

There will be times when your opponent has your number.

Admit where you went wrong, learn from your mistakes, and be happy for the opportunity to play.

Don’t give into the salt.

I’ll top next week dont fret ☝🏼

You go to any local for any TCG and you’ll see that there are Sharks 🦈 and there are Fish 🐟.

All the Sharks 🦈 are at nationals right now, so that means the fish 🐟 are left at locals.

And there is no bigger Fish than Coach Ken! So this local is MINE.

Straight to the Top! ☝🏼

Coach Ken’s Optcg Tip of the Day!

For those of you finding it hard to end the game.

Ask yourself two questions when playing.

-Can I win if I ignore board and swing for lethal right now?

-Can I survive the next turn if I swing and fail?

If both answers are yes, GO FOR LETHAL.

Last OPTCG tip of the year!

"Your mulligan can ALWAYS get worse."

We've all been there

Tossing a half decent hand, or even tossing a good hand for the "Silver bullet card" you need, just to get BRICKED UP

Learn when and what to mulligan for, and accept that you might just draw an even WORSE hand

Coach Ken’s OPTCG Tip of the Day!

I do this loud and proud to start every turn so I don’t forget to restand or draw!

-Annouce how many DONs are up on your turn now
-Annouce that everything is active
-Annouce that you are drawing to start your turn

Build these habits, and I’ll see you at the top!☝🏼
