Call for VS Event Suggestions

Ok all you villains; I need your help! (Heroes just doesn't seem to be the right adjective for most of my readers, so you're stuck with what I give you...)
Most of the time when I'm putting together the upcoming list of event formats I simply try to think of what formats might be fun, and that we haven't played for a while. However this month I thought I'd try something different. I want you to help me chose the format for not one, but TWO of this month's events.

For the October 13th tournament, submit a comment on this blogpost with your top two suggestions from the format list. The format with the most suggestions submitted before October 7th will be the winner. A list of the formats can be found here.

With Halloween coming up I wanted to try something with a horror or undead theme. I'm uncertain what this could be or how we can apply it to a VS System event. Here's a simple example idea: each player must build a BYOTT deck that features Underworld as one of their teams. Post your suggestions for a Halloween themed VS event by October 20th. At the October 27th event I'll provide some prizes for the following categories:

- Most interesting, on-theme deck (voted on by the players)
- Winner of the tournament (decided by your own skill)
- Person who comes up with the theme we use (entirely up to my discretion)

One last thing: Even if you're from far, far away (like...Zimbabwe kind of far) don't feel like you can't make suggestions for us to use. I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing what everyone comes up with!

1. Super Dual Legend... same as normal dual legend but must have 20 cards of each character that reference either or both names. Might be more fun if we also ban non-unique cards like Clash of Worlds.

2. Modern Age

3. Theme for Oct 31... each character in your deck must have died at some point... that's a big pool of characters to choose from!

Typo... I mean Oct 27th

1. First choice is Clone Saga (can't remember the last time we had access to non-unique characters!). Second choice is Dual Legend. I love legend stuff!

2. I like Roy's idea, but I think the format needs a name. I like "Rise From the Grave" (MSM-158), but "Straight to the Grave" is a more famous card (DJL-150/DCL-202). Otherwise, you could choose from Underworld, Hellboy or Shadowpact. Also, I think we should come in costume that day. :-D

I wouldn't mind playing Clone Saga again or BOYTT.

As for the 27th. I was thinking that every character must be wearing a full (halloween) mask. Not a horror theme but all the same.

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. Epic plot twists Plot twists with version Epic can’t be negated. 3. Opposing and friendly Opposing cards or effects are those controlled by one of your opponents. Friendly cards or effects are those controlled by you or a friendly (non-opposing) player. 4. Worldeater locations The Worldeater locations were printed with their names and versions reversed. All should have version Worldeater. As a result: • Flipping an exact copy of a Worldeater you already control will invoke the uniqueness rule. • Flipping a Worldeater when you control a Worldeater with a different name will not. 5.

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 ...
