Testing the waters: Crime Lords

We all knew from the moment the teams were announced that I’d be playing Crime Lords from MUN. There wasn’t any doubt – they’ve been so unloved and disrespected for so long (and maybe rightfully so, considering their lacklustre power level in the days of yore), and Lord knows us Aussies love an underdog… besides, they’ve been bloody hilarious in multiplayer – as one of the few teams that prefers never to have the initiative, playing three players when you only have the initiative every third turn has done wonders for the value of a good Face The Master…

… but now we have new toys to play with.

AIM, RAID and Hydra are out in full force, the Red Skull’s running amok with Baron Strucker snapping at his heels and egads, yes, even the Silver Samurai’s finally shown up on card form, giving us someone who’s actually supposed to wear a Samurai helmet, as opposed to that dimension-hopping six-armed wannabe hiding out in Mystique’s Brotherhood.

And now, of course, I’m spoilt for choice.

The End Of The Worlds As We Know It

Yup, Worlds is over, and people are filtering back to reality.

Some people didn’t perform as well as they had hoped, others kicked serious amounts of posterior… but none so much as

Brian Eugenio!

Congrats on being declared VS System’s first World Champion!

Be sure to let us know what the heck you’re going to do with that Galactus trophy

It’s already being commented upon elsewhere, the niftiness of the Sniper Shot deck, and we’ll no doubt be seeing a notable impact on the secondary market of such cards as Sniper Shot and heck, we may even see a third life (fourh? fifth?) for Wild Ride…

… but what I want to know is, what has Brian named the deck?
