I just wanted to say that Wizard World East was amazing. I know in the Realms that these events occasionally receive bad press, but honestly I have NEVER met a more welcoming group of people in my entire life. If you’ve never been to one, I’d love to welcome you at Wizard World Chicago. Maybe I’ll be posting YOUR team on this list with that sacred number one by it.

Thanks,
Scott

Well...I guess the bright side is that Im not nearly as disgusted as Id thought Id be.

cool stuff good lots of different teams.

Look at this team with the new adjacency and perplex rules. Wow, that's a scary thought.

The number 19 team beat the number 18 team in round one to make the top sixteen.

It is a consolation that the winning team was a mirror image of my own.

Congratulations Ed on what I personally feel was the best team and for playing it Mystically!

Also, Congratulations to Keith, for beating the unbeatable!

Philly was alot of fun and great competition!

Isn't interesting that the 1st place team and the 19th place team are almost identical.

Just goes to show what bad dice can do to you.

As the #6 team, let me tell you...the level of competition was stiff. Many good players and solid teams. From talking to other players, lots of games came down to 1 or 2 rolls. Both my wins to make it to top 8 both came down to that and losing to Ed Uniquist was close as could be.

Look at the variety of teams that were played. It has to make you feel positive about the state of heroclix.

Batman Experienced (Crisis #200)

What Batman is that?

AZ bats with purchase of $50 or more

Thanks for the info. I should've known that since I own it.

Thanks for doing this. I love seeing all the craziness and mad scientist-edness that goes into these WW teams. So interesting.

And I love the fact that Camoflauge was the difference between 19th and 1st place.


Camoflauge- the new protected.

I forgot to include it in this article, but I wanted to thank Rules Arb. NORM for all the help with this article.

Thanks,
Scott

GOGO Double Azbats team!

Interesting. Fourth place team had no feats and all teams had either duplicates or feats.
