Alright, so not that lazy – I’m on Dad Duty for the day, after all – but there’s still room for some relaxation, fun, and game-related goodness.
Three things to natter at you about today. Mini-decks, that fresh pack smell, and Board Game Day at the Hobby Kingdom.
First, I offer my sincerest condolences to LizardLightning. We played our match for the mini-deck tournament; my Crime Lords/Skrulls (as blabbed about here) vs his Sinister Syndicate rush deck.
When you’re playing SinSyn rush, it’s really quite a very sucky thing when you have nothing but a handful of blue on turns 3 AND four. Despite beating me to the face for the first couple of turns, and Vulture eating Albert Malik fueled by the Lion’s Den and Crime & Punishment for a great return in Endurance gain, being unable to build up a decent board presence meant that the Syndicate never really go their act together, while the Crime Lords were out in good order – Hand Ninjas, Albert Malik, Master Man, Elektra, and then on turn six Captain AmeriSkrull and Spider-Girl to make up the points.
Even though I was on 16 END, a 31 pt swing to the face after the Hand and Spider-Girl had stunned LizardLightning’s board put him on -20.
Good game, but bad beats.
