Howdy guys me again with some Deck Tech Queations. After the whole XIII saga im thinking about moving into XIV for my next deck. The obvious pick would be Scions which I made a practice deck if some long term Scions players have any thoughts? Most common I've seen was Li/Wa/Fi/Earth which makes sense especially with Wuk and Zorral Ja rewarding you for playing Cat. XIV. Anything that basically says "choose a category do X thing for yourself or Y thing to every non chosen category" so im definitely trying to see, oh and ill be going to my first Tournament on the 12th, wish me luck ill probably take my Ao1 to gimme my best shot at winning a few.

Hey guys, so im a fairly new player, only maybe 3-5 months old of playing the game. I got a few decks, my main a 3C XIII, an Army of 1, and gullwings. And I just get in my own head alot either with overthinking/over complicating things. For instance last night I had tye Party up 3 cost Lightning and 4 cost Serah that if I control at least cat. XIII forwards I can pay 0 to deal a damage. With a vanille already on the field I had enough to cast a fang and then the Serah. But all I saw was the Lightning Combo. Which would've lost me the game had we not been doing free play. Afterwards when the LGS was about to close I asked a guy who is national level sone tips or advice to stop getting in my own way and im sure he didnt mean it this way but the advice I got was basically "your decks not good enough. It only has one way to win" and like sure I wanna win and that would be fun. But I got into the game to play with my favorite chstscters make theme decks. He says Aggro is weak against control in actual tournaments but at the same time I dont wanna get rid of half my deck and just put meta freaking cards that aren't cat. XIII. For reference its a Cat. XIII theme and 43/50 are XII and I really dont want it to be 1/3 XIII and the rest just meta Cards then its just not a XIII deck anymore I feel like. (But that might also be the Tism talking) and after that it really just discouraged me and im debating stepping away from the game for a while. I dont know right now but does a tone possibly have some advice for me?

Edit: was asked to post my decklist for my 3C XIII for advice so here's my "Gran Pulse Special" deck- The Gran Pulse Special - FFTCG Standard Deck - Materia Hunter https://share.google/fYm5xMjLUBV1viD9p Feel free to let me know what I can do to make this a bit more competitive if possible while still Trying to keep it core XIII. Thank yall so much
