I don't know what to think of Bizzaro is seems so fun reading tournament reports about it, but would probably drive me crazy since you have to expect every legend centric plot twist in existence from it. Seems like it will be one of those decks that i would love to play and hate to play againist

because these were independently created so, legal things beings as they are, they couldn't print them with copyrighted art. sorry. :cross-eye

had trouble posting this on here because of the formatting so follow the link and enjoy:

Paul Sung WINS and improves his record to 6-1!!!

Teh awesome photos, thanks! Nice to see Marinelli there... and I do believe I espied one of his mats, no?

Those are not UDE mats.

They were created as trophies independently for all top 8 players in all 4 events. We felt the players deserved something for their performance.

Congrats to my boy, this is killing me, I need to be there, only flight out tonight is to LAX.....

Go Paul!

How is Reid (special sauce) Cox & Brian Foley doing or did?

Is there any more news.. And how many rounds are there. Plus what's the metagame??

Looks like Brian is doing exceptional!
Reid droped. I guess his spf/ig deck didn't cut it :ermm:

My man Topher is doing great! Legion of Losers all the way! :)

I had meant to cover Round 9 and the first round of the top 8 as well, but i got locked down running Galactus Raids for MEX cards. Sorry guys. Anyways, enough bad news, here's some Top 4 coverage.



Game 1

Turn 1

Pat plays Alexander Luthor.

Turn 2

Mike plays Deadshot. Pat plays and bounces Kate Corrigan and gets his first Bizarro World. Mike swings for 3 and play pass to the next turn.

Turn 3

Pat lays a resource and plays out Kate again and grabs Four Freedoms Plaza and passes. Mike plays Cannibal Tech and grabs a Helm of Nabu. He then recruits Poison Ivy and tosses on the full Fate set.

At the start of the combat phase, Chemo comes back into play from Mike’s KO pile. Ivy swings for 8 and Chemo for 1 more.

Mike: 49
Pat: 38

Turn 5

Mike lays a resource and plays the new DCL Wonder Woman. Pat checks his resources and decides on Bizarro behind Luthor. Pat activates Luthor to get another Bizarro and puts Luthor on top of his deck.

At the start of combat, Riddler comes into play. Mike uses him on Pat’s deck… Luthor flops into the KO pile. Mike sends Ivy into Bizarro. Pat flips B-World and powers up. Mike KO’s Chemo to replace B-World. Pat plays Pathetic Attempt to negate Chemo’s Effect. Pat powers up again to brick the Fated Ivy. Next, Mike attacks with Wonder Woman… Pat bricks again with the double power up. Mike passes.

Pat attacks Deadshot with Bizarro and shows the Berserker Rage. Mike smiles, then scoops.

Pat WINS game 1.

Game 2

Turn 1

Mike drops Chemo and Pat drops the Luthor.

Turn 2

Mike plays Straight to the Grave and tosses a Deadshot in the pile. He then flips Soul World to get him back for the recruit. Pat uses Luthor to grab his Bizarro and passes. Mike swings for 3.

Turn 3

Pat lays a resource then plays Enemy of My Enemy from his hand, discarding Luthor to get Kate Corrigan. He recruits her then grabs a B-World. Mike drops the full Fate set on Deadshot, searching for answers…. he flips Fate’s Tower and grabs another Helm. He equips it. Before the draw effect can go off, Pat flips and activates Ego, The Living Planet to lock up the Soul World. Chemo KO’s to replace the Living Planet.

Deadshot swings on an empty board and Pat takes 8 to the face.

Turn 4

Mike plays Cannibal Tech to get his last Helm and equips it. Finally, finding something good, Mike plays Wonder Woman and transfers the Fate set to the Amazon. Pat plays Bizarro and passes.

Wonder Woman assaults Bizarro with her womanhood for the mutual stun. Deadhsot goes in for 3. Mike uses the Soul World and Pat responds with a B-World flip and an Iron Extraction to extract the Amazing Amazon from the game. He then flips FF Plaza to fetch some tech card (I’m sure) and passes.

Turn 5

Pat plays another Bizarro and tosses a Doom’s Armor on one of them. Mike Plays Black Manta in front of Deadshot. Manta pays 3 endurance to get back the Cloak. Then, Mike plays Jaime Reyes, exhausts Deadshot, to get an Amulet. He tosses the not so full Fate set onto the Manta Man.

Pat sends the Armor-less Bizzy into Deadshot for massive damage beats. Armored Bizztardo bizzes all over Manta with a B-Rage and an Armor KO to prevent the stun. Manta goes down and Biz-Man readies for another breakthrough assault.

Mike: 10
Pat: 25

Turn 6

Mike plays the new “discard your hand” Bizarro and pays 3 to get the Helm back to complete the set. He then transfers the Fate stuffs onto Biz and discards down to 1 card. Pat plays a 6-drop Bizarro of his own, this time it’s the “I have no idea what this guy does, OMG! I’m so confused… HUH!? WTF?!?!?” Bizarro.

Both players, being so soul-crushingly dumbfounded by the ludicrousness of the new 6-drop text, decide that, “#$%@ it.”

Mike scoops.

Pat WINS and advances to the Finals to face teammate and fellow baller, Joe Bryan.


UPDATE: Joe decides, being the classier of the two, to concede to the masterful Patrick Yapjoco. Congrats Patrick and congrats to Team Edgeworld!

Good Morning Realms! Day 2 of the SoCal MW is about to start, so far we have almost 40 players for the Modern Age Constructed. I'm going to try and do coverage for every other round, but the Galactus sign-up sheet is filling up, so my duties as a Devourer of Worlds may conflict with my desire to get you up to the minute coverage.

Anyways, we'll see what happens in a few rounds.

Coming of Galactus Update:

Galactus is 2-1 as of yesterday facing Doom/IG/MK, Doom/IG/FF and Doom/IG/DE. In his one loss, Galactus had just awoken from a long, deep slumber when he was blindsided by a 86/86 rampaging Hulk. But don't let that minor slip up fool you, Galactus is ready now and hungrier than ever.

Go Billy Z!!!
