It's over at VS Unleashed! as well with much more write-up but here's the game coverage:


4x Moonstar, Danielle Moonstar
4x Caliban, Pestilence
3x Beast, Wild and Woolly
3x Cyclops, Mutant Hunter
3x Nightcrawler, Man of the Cloth
1x Nightcrawler, Hit Factory
1x Black Manta, Underwater Marauder
1x Cable, Temporal Traveler
1x Gambit, Traitor
1x Havok, Proud Son
1x The Beyonder, Inhuman

4x Messiah Complex
4x Mobilize
4x Pathetic Attempt
4x Sneak Attack
4x Straight to the Grave
4x Underground Movement
3x Carrying the Torch
3x Concussive Force
3x For Great Justice!
2x Call in a Favor
2x Savage Beatdown


Round 1: OSM vs ishmael [X-Force/Weapon X]
I got all of my combo pieces except for carrying the torch. Oh how I wished I could get a torch ...
I draw ~8 cards with Moonstar by playing her 3 times [turns 1,2, and 4]. Turn 3 I recruit nightcrawler and on 4 I recruit a cyclops. He kills cyke while my Nightcrawler looks away in pain while in the hidden area. Turn 5 I recruit Black Manta, but with no real way to stop the onslaught I SttG for the Beyonder, Messiah complex with boost to gain 10 and pass to him. He attacks manta, I stun. I use beyonder to wall and I survive to the next turn. Turn 6, looking down a Huge board I still haven't gotten a carrying the torch. I remember wishing moonstar could work in the build phase so I could dig for one, but that wouldn't work anyways because I'd have passed my set resource step to recruit moonstar. So instead I recruit cyke, concussive force, mobilize for another cyke [my 3rd copy, 1 in yard], KO the cyke in play to recruit another cyke and I use manta to get another concussive force to do it again. He manages to pump out and kill me that turn anyways.
0-1

Round 2: OSM vs Joe from Edgeworld [running Endgame.dec aka bring out 8-drops on 5]
Turn 1 I recruit moonstar to his riddler. I nab 3 plot twists on the bounce. Turn 2, he recruits bullseye to my beast. Turn 3, I recruit nightcrawler to his poison ivy. he SttGs for a 2nd riddler, and brings it into play via ivy. he flips thunderbolt mountain and gets a 4th resource and stuns beast via bullseye. He flips up birthing chamber. He sends ivy into nightcrawler. I respond by flipping up Underground Movement, Nightcrawler goes hidden and hits the dirt. I lose beast in the recovery. Turn 4, I shift out caliban to try to tie up some of his draw [because he's got an insane amount of it]. I also bring out moonstar again, and a resource point goes to waste. he brings out blizzard and I can't remember who else so it must not have mattered or he didn't bring anyone else in. Nightcrawler doesn't do much, and I get 2 more plot twists with moonstar. She is soo good =0
Turn 5 he brings in thanos and mimic 2-drop, copying thanos. It might've been turn 6 he did this, or maybe he also played mimic on 6 too. Point is his board doesn't change too much. ... until the combat phase on 6 and time was called on 5. I recruit a cable 6-drop, I have evens. He uses thunderbolts mountain 3 times via the location, thanos and blink. those 3 resources plus the 6 already in play, he easilly uses back from the dead on 8-drops. he flipped government sanctioned [I forget the X-factor guy he had in play .... beast maybe?] and used First class on 8-drop Ghost Rider. I send Cable into Ghost Rider with a sneak attack and a savage beatdown. he activates ghost rider to KO my black manta and nightcrawler but I use Pathetic Attempt to stop it. he stuns and cable doesn't. I flipped down For Great Justice with Cable, which I had used to gain 14 endurance twice. I also used black manta and nightcrawler with SttG and a messiah complex to gain 10 for beyonder. I'm in the high 60s to his mid 30s. He brings out darkseid via back from the dead, but leaves him stunned. I have beyonder in my hand so he can't win with Darkseid's effect. He attacks me for a bajillion, and I beat him by 7 endurance. Chance recorded my initiative on 6 for coverage pt 3. He put the match in as Joe's win, and it took a minute to fix but it's all good. Shock and awe I guess. Major props to the EW guys for making that deck ... it's nuts. That said, in a field where people are packing for great justice for the exiles matchup anyways .... I'd blame exiles for the loss if I were you guys. They're super-lame.
1-1

Round 3: OSM vs TOGIT store owner [Radman.Ironman.dec]
not too much to say about this one. he has recovery effects; what good is my team attack combo? I get locked out on 5.
1-2

Round 4: OSM vs Jean Grey Legend [I believe]
it might be that my memory is poisoned by talking to Jeremy and another Summers player about the deck, but I want to say I played against it and they missed pretty badly. My deck was firing on all engines.
2-2

Round 5: OSM vs hgrablewski [Cold Soldier.illuminati.dec]
He Electra Situationed my Moonstar!!!! well, I did draw 9 cards with her ...
This was the only game I recruited Gambit, which saw play on turn 8. He goes the illuminati curve until 4 which is when he played James Barnes Winter Soldier and snipes my 3-drop. From then on I got the picture and played around the nazi bastard and I sacrifice the Calibans I'd have shifted to stay on-curve. I don't even bother trying to get the nightcrawler combo to go off because of the hidden board and I have no way to hit hidden [who plays hidden when Exiles is in the meta?? Caliban saw shifted play on 2 and 4; on 4 I recruited moonstar and he electra'd moonstar so I moved her hidden and kept her around as a messiah body. then it was manta/cable/havok/gambit. He goes Winter Soldier/ironman/Dr. Strange/blackbolt/wiffs. I almost wanted to go to turn 10 and bring out the Beyonder.I kept 2 3-cost plot twists in my hand for gambit on 8, stunned sub mariner and cable/suprise attack/savage takes down the 7-drop turning down savage and havok [who was also electra'd] takes down dr. strange with that savage.
3-2

Round 6: OSM vs JLA Flash Legend
Dude you got the bad beats. Not only did I get the nuts on you, but you missed your primary 3 and 4. Me locking you out of attacks on your init with a Carrying the Torch'd nightcrawler and a cyclops with concussive forces didn't help things too much either.
4-2

I Top-8.
I drop.
... WHAT???
of course. I already have a wii; why do I want another? Let me get a couple of things straight: I play this game out of pure love. ... plus I had already pre-paid for the silver age event. And I wanted to play SF/Illuminati, which I thought was gonna run rampant in the event like it did at Gencon Indy. Well, Karma is a B****, and I lost every game.

vs Cuba's AF/GK:
skree? totally lame. scoop-SCOOP!

vs MKKO:
What is it with playing against hidden hate? LAAAMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!
That said, you played it very well. Punisher 7-drop and his 1atk more than spider-man ....

VS hgrablewski's UW:
crap draw. I deserved it though, what with the Wombo Combo deck drawing very well for me during the Modern anyways. I just didn't have enough exhaust tricks, and he was able to smash through for a ton.

I don't remember this deck. Could you post it, or a link to a tourny report about it?

It was Erick's vsrealms tourney. TDB loves the deck. I didn't do a tourney report since it was only like 4 rounds and I had already done a deck deconstruction on it. Here's a couple links:

Then TDB has a bunch more info on the deck further down the timeline beyond 9/8/08.
