Final Fantasy TCG tonight, and we had a total of five players.
I did not get the bye in any of our three rounds of play tonight.
I was playing my experiment with trying the new Koana package in a Scions list.
Spoiler Alert: It did not work well. At all.
Round 1 vs Dark/Lightning Vegnagun - Loss
Without remembering too much detail, the game went quickly, and it did not go well for me.
Round 2 vs Earth/Water/Lightning Scions - Win
This game ended up being incredibly long, drawn-out, and grindy.
But in the end, somehow I managed to take the win over the other Scion list.
Round 3 vs Mono-Water Monsters - Loss
Another long, drawn-out grindy game. This time, I wasn't able to take the win, losing on the final turn to a Leviathan, Lord of the Whorl and a Witch of the Fens removing my blockers.
Conclusion
You may notice that there is little to no detail to speak of in any of these games. I didn't take many notes, and all of my recollections of the games are effectively supplanted by my frustration with the way the deck proved very unreliable.
The Koana package is neat, and it can potentially do some interesting things. However, I found myself almost constantly with Urianger and/or Thancred in hand, but almost never the Koana that I needed to actually make the two function fully - let alone to get the full value of a Koana searching for and playing the Urianger to draw an extra card.
So while I really wanted to make the Koana package work, I don't think it will, at least not in a list like Scions. There's likely a list out there for it, but I'm nowhere near figuring out what list that might be.
