Apologies

Welcome back everyone. I feel I should apologize for the lack of solid writing I've put on the blog here lately. My focus has been elsewhere and even during our events I haven't been paying as much attention to detail as I should have. Case in point: I can remember the teams most of our players were using last Friday, but only a few of their guest stars. Please post up some comments to remind me what you were playing.

However, I do remember the top three finishers from our guest-star event. In a four round game with seven players we ended up with three going 3-1. MANTIS ranked the players to give us our top three.

First place: Roy - an X-Force deck using The Captain and some nasty beats. I think I lost my match against him on turn five.
Second place: Will - sorry...I am blanking on this one. :(
Third: Jon - Exiles craziness with Mimic and Blink non-unique swarm. Longshot was the guest star.

Vern, Harry, Jordan and myself rounded out the 7 players. I'll post up my "JSA featuring Lobo" deck list another day.

Will's deck was based on auto-recovery guys and Survival of the Fittist. Deadpool 2drop was his guest star. Jordan played Exiles with Wolv 6drop as his guest star.

Farewell Ozzy!

This afternoon I found out that the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away. Although I've been a fan since my early teens, I am surprised at how strong my reaction to the news has been. I had missed out on catching the Black Sabbath farewell show a few weeks back during live stream, so I've not yet seen it. A friend of mine told me about a few days after, and I'm looking forward to watching it when it becomes available. I've had the good fortune of seeing Ozzy perform twice; once at an outdoor stadium show with Zakk Wylde on guitar, and once with Black Sabbath several years later. I remember more about the experience of those shows than the specific details, and could not tell you set lists or anything like that. His impact on music and pop culture, both as a member of Black Sabbath and a solo artist simply cannot be understated. As impactful and important as that is, it also hits me that his children have lost their father, which happened to me at the end o...

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 ...
