Too many times have I heard people at tournaments, BEFORE the game against
their opponent, say, " I've already lost!" or "I hope I don't lose by too
much." Half of this game is confidence in your decks and yourself. If you
are expecting to lose then it is more than likely that you will. I've been
down many times myself, but I played out the game instead of giving up. I
didn't win all of them, but I did pull off a few stunning upsets. Certain
decks and people may seem unbeatable, but everythiing has a weakness. There
is yet to be a full-proof deck. Always head into every game with the confidence
that you are going to win.
