Thanks for the inspiration!

Sorry I lost you money on Tupperware, but happy to inspire. It has been a lot of fun for the whole group (even I, who gets to play the Tupperware deck), and it's been nice going back and starting over for our card pool. After this we will be adding the DOR playsets, which will raise the decks to 25, and we will continue the madness from there. Looking forward to seeing the results of your tournaments.

Homeless vs X Men I

Out of respect for my wife, she has asked me not to post details of this match. She lost 44 to 0, and Professor Xaviers Mansion and Danger Room caused most of the grief.

Moving on....

Hatman - I definitely am lucky to have the lady I got :)! She started out playing Sinister Syndicate in the Web of Spider Man set. Then when Superman came out, she became enchanted with Imperiex and started playing almost exclusively Unaffiliated. Ironically we didn't get any Imperiex till many sets later, but she still has a soft spot for her Homeless (what she calls the Unaffiliated)

Rogue activates and pays 6 to stop stunning the XM defenders. Mr Fantastic hits Dazzler with Its Clobberin Time, she is reinforced for 0. Hulk attacks Dazzler, and Xaviers School readies the reinforcer, so again there is no damage. Crystal then gets her turn at Dazzler and hits for 8 breakthrough, ending the game.
