Early ChallengeTilting.
You have to be actively aware of tilting in order to combat it and not let it affect your game-play.
Level Up MomentBorrowed an Affinity deck and won a win-a-Goyf event.
What Autumn learned was when to play around cards and when not play around them. It's a fine line but sometimes you need to commit and force your opponent to have the answer and sometimes you need to play around the answer.
