This is the second in the EW Win-A-Banner series.

Last week's winner, Tom from 4 Color Fantasies, won the Green Lantern Sneak banner (he wanted it badly)... congratulations. It was an 8-man draft where some people got overexcited on plot twists and forgot to draft characters.

For the next event (not this week but next week), we are running Constructed Silver Age.

The only question I had is should there be some ban/errata on Blink.

Time: Friday, June 19 at 9:30pm
Where: EdgeWorld, Costa Mesa
What: Silver Age Constructed
Prizes: Pick of a Vs banner, boosters and HL cards

I'll update once I hear more about the Blink issue (and after reading HeroComplex's thread)

I'm going to try to make this event, assuming I don't get shipped up north again.

Ugh, constructed is pretty scary, but I'll still be bringing some of the 4Color crew by.

Woo Hoo! Thank you Erick and all in attendance 15 no less. 5-0 with the Hulk swinging mass beats, though late night tired play got me past the JLA/GKnights and sheer luck defeated the Ultimates I'll take it and dance around as the premier SoCal Player of 09, having gone undefeated in 3 out of my last 4 tournament appearances, I'll consider it an early father's day present thank you all. And looking forward to picking up another game and maybe a banner in 2 weeks


15 for a win a banner silver held at 9pm (10pm start) Erick and SoCal you are awesome, oh and we enacted no official bans or errata fyi.

Come to think of it, it may be more like 3 out of 5 since RedOscar won both the 2nd event (Silver) at the last "big" SoCal tournament, and the GA BYOTT the last hobby event at the Comic Cult. Wow that RedOscar guy is pretty good I'll have to watch out for him, though Total Anarchy said what fore to his Runaways this weekend.

First round was X-force + too many hidden guys and an early miss which led to a turn four Hulk Smash.

Second round X-men Assemble deck with some neat blink tricks, but again some early misses and only one XMA pulled out of the deck by Bishop on 2 and layed on 3 meant not enough meat to stop Hulk on 5.

Third RedOscar runaways who were ready to runaway on 3 after I declared Meik into Victor(? the 3 drop) and flipped Total Anarchy, it ended on 5.

Fourth was a comedy of errors I was only allowed to win by a bad search on 5 for a 6 drop when he didn't have his 5 in hand, I blew an opportunity to end it on 8 (yeah 8) when I failed to place a resource before dropping Mastermind Excelo and ditching 1 for 2 trust Ludin to keep a man honest here and so Hercules couldn't come on board till 9, damn bat kept negating everything from 6 on and handfulls of BGYT and FTD kept me from searching and playing big pumps all game. When it finally ended he had forgotten to lay a resource as well and we were heavily derided for putting on such a poor performance at the "top" table.

Fifth was Ludin with an Ultimates deck, I'd played against an ultimates deck before but not like this 3 drop wolverine w/the M-blade, and stupid 5 drop cyclops which against hulk is like a KO a turn, I couldn't keep anything on the board even for boosts, somehow I managed to win on what I think was 7 with multiple bloodsports stopping him from putting a permanent end to my game, TA taking out Wolverine early didn't hurt either.

So I hope I'll see even more of you there in two weeks.

I was impressed by the turnout. Feels like the old days... especially because you guys were there until 2am.

So Banner I, Green Lantern went home with Tom, and Banner II, Infinite Crisis goes home with Karigs/Maid.

Also, July 3rd is a bad day... I won't be in-town. And July 10 might also be bad because I might not be able to get out of a prior commitment.

So... I'm thinking that we are looking at July 17 for the next Win-A-Banner but that's 4 weeks from now, so I may give away TWO banners that night.

Until then, is anyone up for a SuperX Draft/Sealed for this Friday, May 26th?

As much as I like Sealed/Draft, afraid I'll be in San Diego helping Tracy move into her new apartment that night. I think most of the other 4Color guys are planning to see Transformers already that night as well.

That's okay... even a 4-man draft is better than nothing.

BTW: It looks like July 10 might be back on. Turns out my prior committment may have evaporated.

Also... changes are afoot at EW... I'll let you guys know more once everything has been solidified.
