Over the past 2 days I have taken part in the YGG GAP tournament and some of the things I have learned has been huge.

For a start I have been away from the game for about a year (not having funds to buy cards) but since I have had a chaos silver deck I seen SPL in the GAP season again and thought I should play again.

In the tournament I played against some of the people that helped me learn the game when I first started.

This match against @roguepatton was the hardest rule set I had but it was great to make one think about cards and how to work it.

I went with Bella Ratajowlski with the hopes I could use the blood line (hippos) and make use of Shield ability.

With very little tanks in conclave, I knew this would be hard to find cards that can handle earthquake but then add little league you have next to nothing, so I had to use what I had starting with Happy Quokka followed by Taye Loreswift then at the end I had Stampeding Calf and Ferrous Brewer and had to cross my fingers.

With the earthquake rule set I knew I needed to try to last more than 3 rounds to have a shot.

At the end of round 1 and earthquake at the start of round 2 I had lost my tank, but I knew that was going to happen.

Through round 2 I lost Taye Lorswift and knew Stampeding Calf was going to hold off the rest of the attacks because of shield.

Now can I last long enough to beat Earthquake?
