Just a quick report of the Opus 3 starter deck tournament that my local store ran yesterday.
Everyone got to pick one of the two new starters deck (Type-0 Lightning/Wind or IX Fire/Water) and the opened 3 Opus II boosters to makes changes to the decks. I got the Type-0 deck but didn't open anything particularly exciting to add to my deck. The only changes I had were adding a couple of the Forward Ninja (2-114C) and 1 of each Kain (2-103H & 2-104R) which seemed to make sense as they starter deck already had 4 Dragoons in it.
The event was 4 rounds, and over those I faced the IX deck 3 times and the mirror match against the Type-0 deck only once. I'm happy to say that I managed to win all 4 rounds to come first but that it was not a walkover at all. The matches against the IX deck were really tough as that deck has so much removal and lots of tutors and card draw to find their key cards. My Type-0 deck had comparatively little removal so saving it for the right threats (Quina & Amarant typically) was important. The other key part with Type-0 seemed to be getting Moogle (Class Zero) out, as that way your Forwards are often just bigger than the opponents.
My daughter also went to the event and did a Vlog of her experience that i'm sure she would appreciate any views of, so if you have the time, please click the link below (it's only a couple of minutes long).
