So yesterday I attended the Ivory Edition Prerelease Tournament at Comics Corner Damansara Jaya.
I will probably post the box in a separate post, so I will just talk about my experience in this one.
My first opponent was Kamal, who was a Crab clan member.
His playstyle was really interesting. Multi-clan personalities that act like followers (lol). I had no idea which were personalities and which were followers ;~; and I do not remember seeing any attachments.
Needless to say, this was my first ever game of L5R, he successfully took all 4 of my provinces. But was a loooong game though. Must've been an hour. No idea how a first-timer like me could last that long.
My second opponent was Sze Kerng, who was playing a Lion deck.
Cannot say much about it coz he easily tapau-ed me. I literally couldn't do anything coz, this being my second time playing, didn't really know how to use my battle actions.
I don't think it would have made a difference anyway coz before I knew it, he had like 9 or 10 personalities on the board vs 2 of mine. That was easily the fastest game ever.
My third opponent was Han Yang, playing a Mantis deck. Already early on he was saying he was gonna lose lol! No way man, I am 3rd time playing this game, how can you lose to me? xD
Buuuut somehow, I did win o.o I made so many noob mistakes though (going for two provinces at once when one of my personalities was just 1 force shy of breaking a province. That was so malu gila siut) and apparently I could have tapau-ed him 2 turns before. And there were so many people crowding me that I felt so overwhelmed, compounded at the fact that I literally didn't know what to do and some cards didn't make sense to me.
Sigh T_T
This was really an experience for a new clan member for me. This is very similar to throwing me into the deep end and leaving me to swim. I think I probably learned a lot in one game than I would have in many tutorial runs. Like dueling especially.
I hope I will get to play more games and grow as a humble Dragon clan member \o/
P.S: I am loving my Kensais and duelists right now.
