High stakes game

I'm just about to play my last game in FIRF today. Currently I'm in the top 5 (Thanks Baral!).

Could be a tricky one, tho. I'm up against [redacted]'s DB... he's a fearsome player, and he could well be packing Baral himself. Meanwhile, I'm playing Jace 2, which means if I *do* decide to play a Baral deck, then I'm guaranteed to lose the <=2 spells objective.

If I drop out of the top 5, then I'll lose 20 crystals. That's slightly more than 1 random card.

If, horror of horrors, I drop out of the top 25, then I'll lose an additional 10 crystals. That's slightly less than 1 random card.

The suspense is killing me.

I wonder what's for breakfast?

    Ouch, that sounds like a nightmare decision, how can you even think about breakfast given what's a stake.

    I picked up a loss earlier on, so just sweating on whether I'm gonna stay in top 25 now. Already had plans for those extra 10 crystals so gonna have to reassess everything if i miss out now.

    Agreed. Stakes have certainly been raised with the newly improved and balanced event rewards.

    I dont even need a nail cutter anymore.

    ooh good idea. Will help prevent me from obsessively refreshing the rankings to see if I get bumped from top 5!

    Ugh... I'm so tired of this. You're being so dramatic. I know things are difficult right now, but if you would just calm down, find a tiny shred of patience and take two steps back from the situation I think you'll finally understand and stop complaining...

    ..The answer is in the title.

    Obviously, you should have steaks for breakfast.
