Corsage Conference Final

October 8, 2008

Summer of Love Rnd 4: Corsage Conference Final

Warp Factor 9 vs Family of One

Tell me I’m not the only one half-tempted to come up with a bizarre medley of the Star Trek and Brady Bunch themes for this matchup… no? It’s only me? Well, phooey on you all. Regardless, we find ourselves at the final for the Corsage Conference…

Warp Factor 9 finds its way into the capable hands of CaptainSpud, while Family of One comes to papa (Gdaybloke).

Winning the roll for initiative, I opt for odds for the Fantastic Four/X-Statix team, thinking I’ll be able to steal the init on turn 8 with Surfer.

Spud keeps his opening hand, Kindred Spirits being all kinds of promise, while I mulligan a hand of blue and green – including two Mutant Of The Year’s I hope I don’t regret ditching.

Turn One
As a huge surprise, no recruit for Family of One. Warp Factor flips that Kindred Spirits to grab their preferred 2- and 3-drops.

Family: 50
Warp9: 50

Hump Day

October 8, 2008

By the time you read this, it’ll be Wednesday… and you’ll be baying for my blood since this isn’t an SoL match report.

Patience, moppets, the Warp Factor 9 / Family of One match will go up tomorrow (Thursday).

As quick filler (yes, I admit it), we played our Clone Saga event at Hobby League tonight. Punisher took me over the Hawkpeople and made a mess of Secret Society, but terrible TERRIBLE draws let Iron Man walk all over me. I walked away with Hawkeyes and Nick Fury’s and the door prize playmat, so I’ve got no grounds for complaint.

Afterwards, a quick game of Warmachine saw Pokey Smurf falling off the edge of the table and breaking into five parts (main figure, shield, base, ballast, right arm/polearm). I’ve got him glued back together, but I’ve got some serious work ahead of me touching up his paintjob. Blah.
