Top Cut Match Report

Brandon has been playing Weiss Schwarz since this past late July when he was introduced to the game by his playgroup at Nu Yeer Games. He and his buddies were talking after a Union Arena local event and showed him the IP (Intellectual Property) list for the game. Brandon saw Kenshin and immediately ordered 10 boxes. He picked up the game pretty quickly from what he was told, but he does have a background in competitive Magic with quite a few Day Twos at Grand Prix or SCG Opens prior to the Covid Pandemic.

Top 16:

​

Win against Revue Starlight 4 Gate (Pants)/ 4 Comeback (Door)

​

Notes: Thankfully, at 5-2, my tie breakers had me at the top of the 5-2 players for 15th. My top 16 match was versus Revue Starlight and he sent me to level 2 quickly. Thankfully, I cancelled a bit after that, and my opponent did not have the right combo in hand when I shoved him from level 1 to 3.

Top 8: 7th Overall

​

Lost against Bang Dream

​

Notes: My Top 8 match was against the Bang Dream player I lost to in the 5th round. My opponent cancelled a lot of my early damage and again when he was at Level 3. He stock swapped 2 of my climaxes and swung for exactly lethal with his last swing. I ate 4 for the loss and checked to see 3 climaxes in a row.
