So, despite my sign off last time, I sadly don’t have shiny clockwork minis in my hands. I wasn’t planning on writing another article before Lock & Load, so Boots has made a liar out of me.
Boots, seen here “motivating” his contributers.
Anyways, with convention season for me kicking off into full swing (Lock & Load in a few days, Gencon in August) I figure I’d touch on something that goes hand in hand with conventions: preparing for a tournament. Now, just because I have convention play in mind doesn’t mean that the tips don’t apply to tournaments at your friendly local store. A lot of the advice is equally valid for that, too.
For now, this is basic, big picture advice. There are all sorts of other tricks that I can focus on in later articles, such as considering your meta, list pairings, etc. but I figure that broad strokes about what will give you the best play experience at a tournament (perhaps even your first one) will go the furthest.
