Yes. I'd like to see how far I can take my decks, and at the competitive level, most participants will try to bring their A-game. That, and I'd like to personally see what the mindset of US players in general is like - my locals likes to get indie and experimental for the most part. Mostly, I suspect I don't mind still playing at a competitive level because qualifiers tend to occur very close to where I live, and with no entry fee, well, I don't have much to lose.
