Closeout sales are my friend

Yesterday Scott and I made a quick trip up to Red Deer, having heard that Bob & Dave's was going out of business. We were able to get a really nice batch of sealed packs, collectors boxes and a few mats for a very decent price. We split the batch up almost straight down the middle; Scott taking the Marvel stuff and I taking the DC cards.

I think I ended up with something like:

- 18 packs of DOR
- 23 packs of DSM
- 3 packs of DJL plus a collector's box
- 1 Hellboy set
- DCR collector's box
- 39 packs of DLS
- 12 packs of DWF
- 11 packs of DCL

Having next to no self control, I cracked almost everything last night and sorted through it. I was hoping for at least one more copy of Mobilize to give me a playset from Legion, but out of nearly two boxes, I was unsuccessful :( However, we got a great deal and I ended up with a lot of great new cards for my collection. Thanks for inviting me out for the trip Scott! :)

I'll be putting together a box of all my extras as soon as I can along with my now-very-short want list. I'll be happy to make trades with anyone who needs stuff I have and look forward to seeing what kind of decks are going to come out post-cancellation. I'm still excited about this game and can't wait to play in the upcoming army event!

No joy for me either - out of 1.5 boxes of Marvel Origins, not one Savage Beatdown! Also, in a half-box of MUN I only got one SHIELD Agent - I've got no luck with army characters.

No SRA either, but I did get my second copy of Hulk Smash and a second copy of Cap's shield, so that was a bit satisfying.

I shouldn't be complaining so much - it really was a great deal.

The Coming of Galactus FAQ

The Coming of Galactus Frequently Asked Questions Compiled by Paul Ross, with contributions from Dave DeLaney, David Harris, and Edwin Teh Last updated November 16, 2007 1. Applicable cards in this set are legal for sanctioned Constructed tournaments upon release. All cards are legal for sanctioned Constructed tournaments except Planets and the Galactus avatar. 2.

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Errata Discussion

Here's my first-ever joint article! Thanks to Scott Mooney for providing counter-point to my ramblings. Following the release of Marvel Universe and Marvel Evolution there has been a lot of discussion among our player group (and online) about the powers of certain cards, both in terms of sheer power and in terms of wording. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the debate brought on by the 3-cost, Exiles-affiliated Blink. We'll not be discussing that particular card today, but rather some other combinations you may or may not have thought of. Scott has built a very deadly Starjammers/X-Factor/X-Men deck that takes advantage of discard effects and Energize to lead to an amazing turn 7 combo using Cyclops, Astonishing X-Man and Havok, Proud Son. This combo can stun an opponent's board if they are unable to pay the discard required by Havok's ability. It is especially dangerous in a multi-player format and brought up some thoughts on designer intent versus the ...
