The format’s Lazy Peon and I thought of running my usually reliable speed deck minus the few rares in the pack. But I wanted to try something new and decided to use a warrior control build instead. I didn’t have all the cards I needed so I called the shop and ordered up some stuff. The plan was to show up early on tournament day and do some playtesting. Something came up, though, and I arrived at the venue right before tournament was to start. Got the cards and completed the deck right there and then. I thought I could still pull it off even if I had zero experience playing with the new deck. Very. Bad. Idea. Needless to say, it was a disaster. That’s the last time I’m pulling a stunt like that.
