Ginia's also pretty sure the manager might have something to do with the matchup, but there's no harm in it. Win or lose, the kids seem pretty confident and the teens had a healthy dose of humbleness. For the most part. One of the teens is pretty much sulking as he watches the game, but the teen Ginia talked to is talking quietly with some of the other players.
The girl looks a bit nervous. Ginia gives her a thumbs up and a supporting smile, mouthing "you got this," to her. She nods, steeling herself as she shakes her opponent's hand. He wins the coin toss to go first, making some aggressive moves to get his creatures on the playing field. However, she reacts just as quickly, getting her deck in motion with her own creatures on the playing field.
He has powerful cards on his side, but his strategy is brute force. Her deck needs a bit of setup, but hits hard once it's running. It's a close match, her deck stalling his attacks with counters and careful sacrifices. She pulls off a hell of a combination to defend against his attack and fight back, winning with a mere 100 hp left.
'That last move was illegal!' he erupts, hands slamming on the table as he stands up. Ginia barely takes a step before the manager swoops in. His expression is stern as he calmly walks back her move and why it was legal.
'You, however, are not using tournament legal cards.' The manager taps one of the cards he has on his playing field. 'This card was banned in the latest ruleset and therefore you should be disqualified. However, we are a casual, local tournament. This is for fun. If you disagree, you're welcome to leave.'
Enough is enough it seems for even the most tolerant of store owners. The teen reddens as he grabs his cards and throws everything back into his bag.
