What a cool summer this has been! In my little egocentric world, things couldn’t be better. I’ve gotten to see some of the coolest movies ever. I got a sweet new job writing about a game I love for all of you wonderful people out there who take time from your bustling lives to listen to what I have to say. I will get to attend Gen Con and see friends who live all over the globe. I even ran over a complete stranger while riding shotgun with Freddie Prinze, Jr.
Wait . . . that was last summer. Wow, I hope that nothing bad comes from that.
Moving on.
I got to attend the Sneak Peek tournament for Green Lantern and finish high enough to get product. I will even get to go to the Avengers Sneak Peek. You may be wondering why I’m making such a big deal about the Sneak Peek tournaments. The simple reason is that I love new sets. Really. The main thing I love about them is that the playing field is leveled. That’s the reason I’m such a big fan of Modern Age formats, too. You go into the events knowing only the cards that have been previewed. There isn’t any established tech or deck types. No one knows what cards are good or bad. It’s up to each player to analyze the cards for him or herself.
Vs. System is a difficult game to play casually. For now, the card pool is too limited for casual decks to proliferate. Tournaments on the higher level can get really competitive nowadays. The only real place to get that casual atmosphere is at the Sneak Peeks.
Considering that the Avengers have a roster exploding with reservist, his ability can be killer. I'd love to have a 3 drop with no drawback beyond being concealed (and this is on 3rd turn, who cares?) but can stun 4 drop easy.
Sounds like a plan to me.
whod've thought we'd see the day we hope to open a starting hand of all characters?
