Shout out to @cryptictruth, because when I logged in, I had a bunch of cards waiting for me. He hooked me up big time :D Thanks again!

I used to be a big Hearthstone nerd a few years back, and in my early days, a HUGE MTG fanatic (i'd go to the flea markets every weekend with my dad to buy cards!), so trying out a card game built on the blockchain was an instant YES in my book.

I bought my Summoner's book thing (I already forgot what it's called LOL), and dove right in.

(Of course, I had to set my avatar to be a Ghost ;) )

My first game, I had absolutely 0 clue of what I was doing - I didn't even realize I had to click the "Battle" button, so I ended up forfeiting my very first match, lmao.

The 2nd game I played went a little better. After not derping (and clicking "Battle" this time), I was in a practice round fighting for glory!

Game #2 went much better! I won by the skin of my teeth - I think by like 1 point O.o

Game #3 was a bit better of a win (and revenge for the first match, as I got matched against the same person). 

I still have 0 idea of what I'm doing, but I'm sure putzing around more with this, I'll be a pro in no time.

**Have any tips for me? I'd be happy to hear!**

-- and I'll see you all out on the battlefield 😉

(Shout out to @splinterlands for making this awesome game!)
