BEER!

so fINALLY got to see one of my closest friends from back in high school. It was nice though hung out for a few hours ate some nachos and i kinda got really tipsy. but all in all was really nice.

So yesterday was our bi-weekly friday tourney and suprisingly enough i "technicaly" one. it came down to a three way tie with me included. i ended up actually getting third but i beat the guy that got second and the guy that got second beat the guy that got first. but in the format we play ties are decided by your previous records, i've probably played the least amount of tourneys out of everyone else putting me in third. but Roy the guy who won was VERY nice and gave me one of his really rare prize cards. THANKS ROY!

i was playing runaways. it's a really nice team actually mind you i'm playing them golden age to get some of the nice burn effects and stuff. But basically all they do for the first 5 turns is nuke the opponents deck. so that hopefully in turn 6 they have no cards left. then my 6 drop comes out who can't be stunned while they have no cards in their deck.

Here's a break down of my games

round 1: i played against a weapon x deck, which could really destroy my runaways but luckily one of my friends had banned weapon plus satelite so it was ok. but on turn 3 he had 2 drop deadpool and played extended monologue. Great... while he controls deadpool i can't target him...which is all the runaways do is target their deck. but i managed to stun his 2 characters and (for some unknown reason) ko'ed deadpool. But i didn't have my victor nico combo just nico but it was ok i beat him down and nuked out all his good cards.

round 2: i played charles. charles was playing a really neat +1 +1 counters whore deck. then i kept getting really bad cards.. i missed 1 drop, 4 drop and 5 drop. and had a bunch of character in my resource row. i managed to get rid of some of his deck but his characters just ended up beating me down anyways...

round 3: i played Harry. Harry and i have never played one on one with his x-static and my runaways. He has a card that while controlling only one character he can't be the target of effects. but i managed to get off a few effects while he played a second character then somehow managed to ko it. but i didn't really nuke any cards from his deck. luckily though burns at the touch isn't a target so i could still get the -2 endurance in there. but with his one caharacter against my 4 or 5 he just couldn't take the heat. i somehow managed to squeak in a win.

round 4: i played sebastian. OMG he has a awesome deck. kinda the same as x-static except he has one big visible guy and the rest are hidden for support. my deck ran perfectly well and usually managed to get stun backs, and left him open for direct attacks a couple of times. he did screw up at one part though, he could have negated a effect of mine but didn't realize it in time so i do feel a bit bad about that, the only bad thing about his deck is thaqt no one really had flight, so i could hide all my little guys in the back leaving him to deal with the big ones first and spam reinforcement. I did really enjoy playing him, it was a VERY close match and i only won by a bit. i do not however take credit for nuking his deck so fast. he had a REALLY good draw effect that involved discarding cards and stuff. We will most def have a rematch and it'll be EPIC. lol
