Once again, I get to pout that I really can’t talk about the events of Hobby League without giving away what the Lost Hemisphere crew are bringing to Battle Of The Border… I mean, if you knew about Spud’s freakin’ intense Longshot Lock deck, or Pablo’s Monkey Magic deck, it’d completely undercut the surprise factor and the other Battlers would be teching against them all over the place, and we’d stand no chance. I’m keeping my Rubber Bullets deck to myself, you can bet on that.
Still… Battle of the Border is two weeks away, and I’m giddy. Not only because it’ll be the first event with more than a dozen participants that I’ll be attending since the DLS release. Not only because there’s a bunch of cool stuff in the prize pool, donated by cooler-than-something-cool folks like Matt Robertson, Scott Hamilton, and even that Chris Miller dude (watch out for him, I hear he’s a jerk). Heck, not only because I’ll finally get to meet VS community folks that I’ve known and respected online for years now and Steph’s promised to bake me some cookies (disclaimer: Steph hasn’t actually promised to make me cookies, but maybe this’ll confuse her and she’ll think she did!).
What makes Battle of the Border special is that we’re doing it ourselves.
