SoL Rnd 1: Wild & Sticky vs Crisis Knights

August 30, 2008

Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when your perfect in every way… but the perfect Everyman of Comics, the ever-popular Spider-Man, can’t win ‘em all, can he? And then there’s that twisted perversion of Superboy, who just wants to be perfect himself…

What happens when we toss ‘em at each other? A hell of a smackdown, that’s what!

in one of those really odd turns of events, I win the dice roll and opt forĀ evens. I’m wild and crazy like that.

Turn One:

In the most boring turn of the game, both of us miss.

Wild & Sticky: 50
Crisis Knights: 50

SoL Rnd 1: WOLVERINE vs. WOLVERINE vs. WOLVERINE vs. NOT WOLVERINE

August 30, 2008

We’ve got a special treat for you folks tonight: a double-header of extreme violence, featuring no less than THREE Wolverine legend decks!

The first game pits a bizarre Wolverine/Hulk hybrid, which aims to smash directly with an absolutely massive SHIELD Wolverine, against the swarmy, scrappy Villain Potpourri. It’ll be an interesting matchup; Given the mostly-hidden early curve of Patrick Yapjoco’s deck, BOTH players are likely going to do a lot of face-smashing with their decks, so it’ll be interesting to see which can pump it out harder and faster!

After that comes one of my favourite items of weirdness for Summer of Love: the bizarre pseudo-mirror-match between Adamantium Skrullmate and The Claw Society. These two decks were matched up before we’d even assigned them to be built, so it was obviously pretty shocking to see them both come back as essentially different-team analogues of the same basic engine. It would be weird enough if they were just two similar decks, but to have them matched up against each other? PUH-LEAZE!

Alrighty, enough preamble. Let’s get to the violence!
