Way back in the days of $10K’s, there was one in Hamilton, ON, that I was fortunate enough to attend. It was one of my first ever competitive experiences, and I knew going in that I wasn’t going to win – I didn’t own a playset of all the high-money tutors, etc. – so I ran a little petdeck of mine that I called the Midnight Toystore.
I entered the same deck into the VSRealms Pet Deck competition, and won myself a placing (not first, but heck, I play for fun rather than competitiveness so I didn’t expext to walk away with first prize). That was a loooong time ago in VS history, and we’ve had a whole bunch of expansions released since – time for a revisit!
The concept’s pretty simple – abuse the Midnight Sons engine (or now, Neighbourhood Watch) to get yourself any team affiliations that tickle your fancy, and grab all that lovely equipment that’s free for specific teams (or just plain borken for specific teams) and slap them all over your characters for a nice beat-o-rama.
The essential part is, of course, the engine first- Dagger: Child of Light, Midnight Sons, and just to cover bases, 4x Neighbourhood Watch
We’re going to be equipment-heavy, so cards that can be discarded for effects are a boon as pseudo plot twists, that helpfully thumb their nose at Injustice Gang. I can’t play plot twists? No worries! Chopping Block that Lex Luthor! Muhahahaha!
So, which characters are up for consideration? Read the rest of this entry ?
