Bouttoniere Final Addendum

There’s been some talk over the course of the Summer of Love about Spud’s amazing ability to miss drops, and how it cost some deckbuilders their shot at the crown.

To this I respond with “Your point being?”. Missing drops is part of the game, can happen at any time – it’s a card game. A truly random shuffle means that card you’re looking for could be *anywhere* in the deck, including the last 4 cards.

Regardless, we thought we’d replay turn 6 for curiosity’s sake, digging the New Birds 6-drop out to play. Excuse the clinical nature of the report, I’m preoccupied.

NEW BIRDS vs ADAMANTIUM SKRULLMATE

Hello, poppets. You’ve all been so good and patient this last week, making your picks with only two games to choose between… but it’s worth it, isn’t it, my little ones. Such joy in your beaming smiles, those twinkles in your eyes, that maddening froth collecting at the corners of your mouths as you heft your torches and pitchforks and propose to visit ungodly agonies upon me if I don’t shaddup and get on with the match report….

Oh, who am I to deny you, my cherubic little blossoms…

Captain Spud takes the helm for the New Birds, while Adamantium Skrullmate falls into my (Gdaybloke) own greedy little green mitts.

Winning the dice roll, I opt for evens in the hope of getting the most out of Wolverine: Skrunucklehead.

Turn One
Spud follows the Summer Of Love tradition by not playing a 1-drop. Of course, his deck doesn’t run any. Skrullmate, however, runs Connie Webb, who comes out to play and kicks Spud in the teeth, and we move on to turn two.

New Birds: 49
Skrullmate: 50
