The only reason I've been trading for some of the characters I have been is because I don't want to even risk it. I mean, Aladdin is traditionally one of the strongest characters in this thing, but after two rounds of him near the bottom 30, I feel like making as safe early.
Right now, I have my top 6 I'm focusing on this contest and then I've pretty much abandoned the rest. I'll take them as far as I can, but I'm not going to worry about their placement.
