The game is afoot:
An expression meaning the real business is at hand. Most would accredit the phrase to originating from the pages of Sherlock Holmes, ‘The game is afoot, Watson’, but it originates from Shakespeares Henry IV.
It’s particularly applicable to our current environment within our local WoW playgroup.
After a fairly comfortable time with my first 5 tourneys (only dropping 1 game, winning 4 events, second in the other), things should now prove a little different in upcoming events as the other local players all aim to raise their game.
David has now purchased the cards necessary for a ‘Black Ice’ deck (how to lose friends and alienate people), James has tweaked his Totem deck, as well as having more experience playing it, whilst Ben has been purchasing cards aplenty in preparation for future tournaments. We also have new players being welcomed to the fold, who, in time, will bring a fresh element to the state of play.
In the next two events it isn’t as applicable as one is a Blood of Gladiators sealed event, whilst the other runs a tribal format (minimum 25 allies all from the same race as the hero) but after that things could prove a little more challenging.
