Interesting! He didn't use the team-up option (he went mono in BYOTT) and obviously he didn't need too. But I wonder if he could have taken advantage of some team-stamped search instead of Call in a Favor. Maybe Wild Ride so he can hit his 1-drop even if he doesn't pull his 1-drop (AND he can save himself the pain of having to pitch a pump if he's got no characters in hand)? CIAF is too risky IMO! Still, I can't say it was a bad call, as the deck got him exactly where he needed to be! Good job, A!

Baldman,

Do you have the final standings for swiss? I'd like to see who made top eight of swiss, it sounds like someone went 5-1 and didn't make top 5. Is that correct? You called my name last so I assumed I took 5th place @ 5-1.

If there was a 5-1 that missed out on top eight due to tie breakers then that really sucks.

Adam - you weren't called last - Michael was (I remember because he was breaking a sweat and I think he thought he wouldn't make it in). And I think he was 4-2.

why did the list run Sovereign Superior? It could only find Slyde, Razorfist and Tempo.

/expecting obvious answer

It coud search out Uniscone also also. The idea is to kill on turn three if you use Spider Hunt then you can't use Mobilize or the vast majority of other search. Sovereign Superior is a 2 cost, also the Vault uses a resourse spot and would be in competion with TNB. Even though the amount of characters that Sovereign Superior searches for is small it is the only search for thoses teams that that I could think of. If you guy can think of a better one please let me know.

I ran SHIELD/Marvel Knights at the Hobby Kingdom Vs event, and I have to agree with Carlos. The deck is great as is, especially with access to the generics (our event was strict BYOTT), but I wonder if it would have been more beastly with 4 x Wild Ride and (gulp! dare I say it?) 4 X Brass Grill (which is, effectively, a negation-free reusable +4 pump).

Sean has quit Vs. - his life just got too busy. We're currently looking for another NorCal organizer. If my cup wasn't already running over, I'd take a stab, but alas...

I haven't quit PLAYING, but I have quit running events that people don't bother to show up to anyways.

I just have so many better things to do with my time than to change the time and date of an event to a date specifically for a group that says they can't make it any other day only to have that group cancel on me wiithin 48 hours of the event starting so they can go watch MMA. (Sound oddly familiar?)

So that's why I don't bother running events anymore...my time and effort was not being respected nor appreciated. So for that reason, Northern California is about to get a large dose of "you don't know what you got until it's gone" and it's nobodys fault except those who can't seem to show up to an event that they have planned specifically around them.

Now, if someone in Northern California has the courage and the ability to follow through with something then I will gladly pass on my connections at WonderCon and the various stores I ran events at in Northern California so that they can carry the load for a while.

Just send me an e-mail. and that information is yours.
