After getting the great DC Lanterns Light set and playmat, (thanks again to Kardkrazy and Banstylejbo!!!), we set about to have a Release Celebration of sorts to see who gets to keep the playmat.

We had 6 players, so I created 6 balanced decks featuring the teams that had the most representation; Green Lantern, Black Lantern, Anti Matter, Emerald Enemies, Emerald Archers, and the New Guardians. All the decks were created 60/40 (36 Characters, 24 Non Characters), and used at least 1 copy of every character card that fit those affiliations.

When tournament time came, the 6 decks were placed face down, and we rolled a die, with the higher roller getting to randomly choose their deck. (I rolled lowest [grin] )

The players and their decks were;

AJ - Anti Matter
Andy - Emerald Archers
Brennan - Black Lanterns
Caleb - Emerald Enemies
Morgan - Green Lanterns
Nathan (me) - The New Guardians

And now for the results....

KJ: Forgot to mention when he played Exacting Shot, Andy was using it each turn to take Olivers Willpower away so that Kraken couldn't touch him. Good catch.

Vader: Totally agree. Had a lot of fun watching Andy play the Archers as a mono team, and can only imagine how much more fun they would be teamed up with the right partner.
