Pro play is tough.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT I've been playing video games since I was a kid, but competitive trading card games were almost entirely new to me when I signed up for a competitive Disney Lorcana tournament at my local game store. As such, I didn't really know what to expect, but the less-than-stellar experience definitely taught me a few lessons for my next event - if I ever feel brave enough to return, that is.

6 I Didn't Know The House Rules Key Components Of Polite Play Having only played Lorcana with friends and watched others play online meant I missed out on key etiquette for competitive TCG play. My Round 1 opponent patiently explained what "cutting the deck" was as we swapped decks and sliced them in half.

I expected that the level of research I'd put into my deck would be sufficient to at least present a challenge to my opponent, but when I sat down for Round 1 and kept drawing duds I realized a fatal flaw of my deck that the internet hadn't prepared me for: if I didn't draw those 1-cost cards early enough, I'd be out before I knew it.

Related Disney Lorcana Card Bans Will Only Happen For This Reason, Says Designer Disney Lorcana’s Co-Designer Steve Warner told Screen Rant what players can expect regarding banned cards in the future of the Lorcana TCG. I was told they took home the prizes every week, and that they were already growing bored of Lorcana because of how "easy" they found it. For new TCG players like me, they made a win impossible, which in turn made me feel more defeated than I was already starting to feel. Maybe if I'd known more going in, this fact wouldn't have felt like the blow it was.
