I am considering going back to some tournaments just to play a bit myself every once in a while.
I spend almost all of my available battling time playing tournaments instead of ranked for a few reasons.
the formats and leagues are always changing, so the game play is always different as well. I like the variety of trying new combinations and strategies outside of Modern Diamond.
the SPS prizes are much than ranked rewards. What can I say... I like growing my bags of SPS as much as possible.
the rivalries motivate me. In the tournament scene, there are several different accounts I play day after day, so Ive developed a bit of a rivalry against some of the other top accounts in the game.
Yes, I remember this is an inspiration from you! I think I will start on tournaments when I get back from some time off!
