Heya!
We got a good turn out tonight. Several of the old school players turned up, a good time was had by all. If there are any complaints, its that the starter decks were NOT well assembled. I believe we had 12 players (which means 12 starter decks) and not a SINGLE Amanda persona was pulled, and I dont think any Hughs were pulled either. In my group of 3 friends, we all got Duncan. Luckily, two of us ALSO pulled a secondary persona and played that, because we got BUPKIS for support cards for Duncan (and no support cards for the secondary persona either).
Slan seemed to do the best tonight, I believe the top 3 finishers were Slan decks. In fact, they were all DIFFERENT Slan decks, having gotten slim pickings amoungst Slans persona specific cards. The card placement in boosters and starters was a big problem tonight, and did little to win over converts from the old school.
The biggest complaint from old school players (which were the majority of players who came) were the Gem Deck Construction rules. Although this was Sealed Deck and those rules didnt apply, they were turned off by the prospect of being so restricted in thier deck construction. Most of the old schoolers have agreed to come back and play Type One tourneys in the near future.
In the end, I believe MrAwkward won the tourney (I think), which kind of disappoints me because I BEAT him when I faced him tonight. Sure, it was a 1 point win, but a win is a win.
