"It's not cheating if I'm already out of the tournament, either," Ayami responded, taking into account Matt's choice of pack before nodding her head and placing a few bills on the counter for the shopkeeper to take. "In any case, six packs of Epic Dawn--three for me, and three for my friend here."

"I think you can only go so far you can go with that sort of tactic, though. It might be better to keep to a single tactic in the long run, but keep a variant of the Deck in your back pocket as a backup.
