Back to EpisodesVegas CCQ Recap: Ben Ramos in Top 8! Plus Set 12 Hype!!
Description
Andrew Buchmann is joined by Upsiders Ben Ramos and Marquis Simmons for a packed episode of Happy Questing as they break down Ben’s Top 8 finish at the Las Vegas CCQ during Level Up Expo.
Ben walks through his tournament prep, his Emerald/Sapphire list, the matchups he faced, the pressure of Day Two, and the small in-game decisions that shaped his Top 8 run. From testing against Dogs all week only to dodge them completely, to battling through a competitive field and reflecting on his Sapphire/Steel matchup, Ben gives an honest look at what it takes to compete at a high level in Disney Lorcana.
The crew also talks about the energy of Level Up Expo, Ravensburger’s Illumineer's Quest activation, Stitch promos, casino luck, and the community moments that make Lorcana events so special.
Then, the conversation shifts toward Set 12: Wilds Unknown, which introduces Toy Story to Disney Lorcana. Andrew, Ben, and Marquis share early thoughts on the new Toy archetypes, Jessie, Woody, Sid, Milo, Hercules, Lenny, Merida, Kida, Ruby/Sapphire possibilities, Infinity Format testing, and whether Ward may be making a serious comeback. With Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and the rest of the Toy Story crew entering the game, excitement for Wilds Unknown is already through the roof.
Whether you’re chasing competitive finishes, brewing for Set 12, or just excited to see Toy Story finally arrive in Lorcana, this episode has plenty to quest about.
