Attending my first UFS event was pretty scary, but its given me unforgettable memories. Come take a look at what a UFS World Championship looked like in 2016!

Playing Universus is hard. 

Universus is one of the most complex card games out there where player skill is highlighted more than ever. For me this is a huge draw; I love being able to express myself with skill-based play, card selection, and deck selection. On the other hand, for newer players just picking up the game, no amount of conversation or warning can help push this fact forward. The retention rate of Universus, no matter how cool a player thinks it is, isn’t as high as we want it to be. Whether that be because of poor outreach programs, lack of grass-roots community level organization, or a lack of game stores it doesn’t change the fact that if you play this game, you do it because you love it. 

Life is tough for a competitive CCG player when you don’t have enough time to test. Join me as I take you through my character selection and deck list refinement as I prepare for Louisville with very limited play time!
