I got into the weirdest life gain war... where we both had 9 drop galactus and redshift.... and we kept gaining each others life point totals when they came back into play... he only won cuz he got worldeater apparatus... :(

Speaking of life gain wars...


I was playing a Glock on Glock mirror match. We practically mirrored moves except I played Grodd on 6 instead of Sinestro (Which is secret Tech). Turn 7 time was the last turn of time. I brought in Black Hand and so did he. Then I stole his Black Hand with Gorilla Grodd and went up to 130 something :) to win the gain war.

But ... then what happened? Who won?

I was playing a Deadpool lock deck using the Bounty Hunt engine for card draw, and my opponent had a Moon-Knight-Attacks-Four-Times SF/Defenders deck.

Turn five, his init, and I haven't drawn Deadpool yet. I have the rest of my combo, but the main attraction isn't there. I'm about to lose, because I've already been pounded for a lot of break. My opponent recruits Moon Knight, equips him, gives him four Backup powers.

Crap, I says.

And then... he Substitutes Spider-Hulk in for Bag-Man. Removing a character from play in so doing. Putting a counter on Bounty Hunt. Putting... a SECOND counter on Bounty Hunt. I draw two cards.

Deadpooooooooooool!

So, yeah. I won that game.

I've had several occasions where playing Ganthet on turn 7 if I had the off-initiative has allowed me to go to the next turn, despite being at less than zero at the start of the recovery phase. Because of him, I Top-8'ed a sealed PCQ.

That was the single worst build phase I've ever seen in my life.

RTFC, noob! :)

That reminds me....

Marvel Avengers is fresh out of the press and I was drafting. Now since the set was brand new, I find some cool looking Masters of Evil cards that KOd stuff so I go with MoE curve (yeah, not so good). I also think for some reason I could win on turn 6 and decided to go with evens this tourny (another not so good idea).

Well, my first opp misses drops and I win my first game and go to the second 1-0. We're trading blows. We go to turn 6 and I go all out to try to end the game, just like planned, but can only bring my opp to 2. I'm at less than 10 and don't have a 7 drop for next turn, so I know I'm finished. What the hell was I thinking, thinking I could win on 6?

"I guess I lose..." I mutter, upset at my poor judgment. But, looking around, I noticed I was holding that MoE card that lets you look at the top cards of your deck and put one in your hand if you KO a character.

"I don't know why I'm doing this, but I'm dead anyway..." So I KO a character, and there I see...possibly the 30th card added to my draft deck...Insect Swarm.

I throw it down and bring him to 0 for the win.

I was in an 8-player multi-player game, and, unbeknownst to us, someone had Amazo.

Turn 8 comes around. He drops Amazo. I have something like 9 people on my board (I swarmed hidden on 7), and I had been shoving my deck into my KO'd pile for most of the game.

I smile and drop Psycho Pirate, and then dare him to swing his 78 ATK (or so) Amazo into him. He does.

2x Cover Fire for +36 DEF. KO Floronic Man to bring Cover Fire back. +52 DEF. That made Pirate 69 DEF. Sorcerer's Treasure gave me another +16 DEF (Floronic Man had had range due to Sniper, so my bonus dropped from 18), putting me at 85. When he tried to pump even higher than that, I threw down a Strength of the Grave, putting 20 characters in my deck and knocking my DEF to 105. He gave up.

I ended up actually winning that game because everyone helped each other in taking down Amazo, so I was the only one who didn't take damage that turn.

how did you count Fluronic Man if you KO'd him?

I didn't...that's why my DEF bonus dropped from +18 to +16.

It is either a punch to the face which lasted me a turn.
or
Poisoning their drink while they search for their 7 drop which lasted the whole game.
You decide!

In 10k Minneapolis there was a Glock on Glock game. The judges were very close to tears, especially since this was before King Galactus and it was going to go on forever. Somehow they got to like Turn 11 after the final score was something around 215 to 130.


Coolexplosion

In the last round of a regional I used my randomly borrowed Mobilize to search for a power up for Juggernaut, avoiding the stun. Juggernaut then proceeded to rampage for the win.:D
