So up early (more due to always being up early with my young son) went and had a very large and hearty breakfast as I just knew we were not going to get a lunch break. The boys turned up to drop there stuff of at my room so they didn't have to drag it around for the day.
We all then went to the hall to go to our tables and wait for the inevitable start of the GP. So the box is put on the table and I we go through the process of opening packs and registering the cards of the guys opposite you and then you get the pool back and I'm in trouble! I do not have a bomb I opened a lot of combo artifacts such as animation module & dynavolt tower, I then look at how many creatures I have in the colours and my favourite Red & Green are sorely lacking in a massive way with like 7 creatures in total. So I look my other colours Black is the strongest and both White and Blue are equal so this leaves me down looking at the evasion strategy so after doing a few sealed events I have seen that flying is best evasion as in this set there is not a lot of reach so White gives me a total of 11 power in the air Blue only gives me 9 so I went down the route of Black White Artifact this revolved around playing game 1 with animation module and decotion module to generate energy for thriving ibex and thriving rats and getting lots of servos from the modules.
So first two rounds I lost both 0-2 so was feeling very deflated but I regrouped and decided to look at my deck and what I had in the rest of my pool and decided to sleeve up a blue side board. Then I have no idea what happened but my deck started working and I mean working I was either winning game 1 then subbing out the modules for removal or I was losing game one and subbing in removal to destroy my opponents key creatures. I ended the main event at 5:30 going all the way to round 7 of 9 on a 3-4 record which would not be good enough to make day 2. But what a first experience of doing a main event at a GP and I can say I am hooked and already look forward to GP Liverpool 2017.
So after finishing the main event I entered a on demand draft and then me and the lads called it a day went for some well deserved food and pint! which went down like water and called it a night.
My final post for day 3 of the GP will be up soon!
