Title: 2020 NJ District 2nd Place Sealed Deck
Post by: dermo4christ on September 14, 2020, 09:44:06 PM
Hey guys,

*My doms and Red Dragon were stellar pulls. Red Dragon was baller my 1st game and last game (we only played 3 rounds).  I didn't see Red Dragon during the second game until my opponent was already ahead 4 to 3. It was a little late for him to come out then. But all in all, this deck was really good and went 2-1.  Blessings was a great pull for an older card and was great on meek Jake...low numbers granted me inish to play Blessings for a CBI EC shuffle in battle! Pretty stellar rescue. That was in my third game to get my fourth soul.*  1st game was a lot of back and forth and then Red Dragon came out and stole the show! 2nd game I didn't really have much of a chance. I was soul droughted 1st four turns and didn't draw much in the way of enhances to help my heroes. I probably should have cut some enhances or put an Art or two in my main deck instead of Reserve. 3rd game was back and forth and Red Dragon showed up midgame and my opponent had already used most of his negates in some pretty heated battles early on. All in all it was a great tournament and Pennsylvania stole the show!!!

Nice Red Dragon pull.  I pulled him in a traditional sealed deck tourney a few months back, AND I had the J starter deck.  Needless to say my opponent's weren't happy with me. :D

Yeah I had the Angel deck (whichever one that was) and had a Captain of the Host, Wheel within a Wheel and Zimri, son of Zalu (with Delilah).  So it ended up being a pretty easy sweep.
