This happens with local "and losses". A little degree of hubris is good in a player. Say "I'm going to beat this player" or at least "I can beat this player."

He took a deck to a friend's house and played the mirror for 5 hours so he could deeply understand the deck. He attended local events to stay sharp nad then when Utrecht came he studied the meta again, chose a deck and practiced - a lot. Parting Guidance Remember to have fun!
