Gauntlet VX:
December 22, 2008
Okay, I gave him the week off to get his Christmas shopping done and everything wrapped, now it’s time to get Aaron “Onyxweapon” Mead back to work.
What? Let him have the Christmas week off too? SHENANIGANS! Fie and Tosh, let him work! It’s not like he has kids to entertain just yet (Hurry up and marry that woman and spawn, will ya, boy?). Still, it is the festive season, and it’s only fitting that we challenge our boy accordingly. We’re going to delve into the depths of VS history a little.
Christmas is, for many, a time of giving. As such, this week’s challenge is all about giving stuff to your opponent. We could make it easy and give +1/+1 tokens from Ultron… or Electron Scramblers and Power Dampeners… but I think we need to go further back, to speak to the Ghost of Christmas VS Past, to one of the first things you could ever give your opponent… the flu!
Build me a plague deck, Aaron. Bonus points if you can squeeze in Shadowpact to give June Moon to your opponent as well 
Merry Christmas!
Plague? You’re making him build a plague deck? Some of these were evil before but… that’s just mean.
If it’s about “giving”, how about bonus marks for including Tomrrow Woman as well as June Moon?
Wait, it’s supposed to be a Plague deck. Maybe the full giving theme could be the subject of a future challenge!
Triple bonus points if you manage to give your opponent herpes.
tomorrow woman =/= herpes?
Royal Flush Gang
Five in One
Triad
There might even be other cards that break the traditional four-of rule in Vs. Deck construction. I’d like to see Aaron build a good Mimic deck that uses all these unusual cards!
Maybe even a legend build.
Just an idea to keep tucked away in case you run out of challenges for the poor bastard!
Oh my gosh… I forgot Ten Rings. That’s already 23 cards!
