To those of you who did well at 10k Columbus...

Please post a report, please, please, please, please, please???

(Post here if you would like to see a report too.)

7-3 with Skrulls. Report forthcoming on another site.

Markslack repp'd.

C'mon guys! Let's do something with our rep powers other then encourage others to call TheDerangedBear a human sexual.

wtf is a "human sexual" ?

I will never call you a human again [filter ftw?]

I wasn't there, there was only one A-Team member representing, and I have no idea whether or not he's got the details from his matches enough to make a solid report.

ALl of you who have posted thus far ARE interested in reading reports right?

Honestly, it's a bit blurry for me at this point. (Again: serious painkillers are not good when you want your mind doing detail-work.) But what I can remember is as follows:

1.) Adam Prosak playing his cool stall deck. Glorious Godfrey posed a lot of problems for Lost In Space, I used Asmodeus once or twice (I can't remember) to keep the game on turn 6, Scarecrow kept eating his Cosmic counters, and the final turn of the game involved him teamswinging a counterless Galactus into a pumped Grodd, then me forgetting to use Sewer System to attack into his (apparently) unreinforceable hidden Air-Walker, and him capitalizing with a final-play I Must Obey for the win, 13 endurance to 5 (and me with three Meltdown in hand, although he said he could tutor for a Meltdown).

2.) ...somebody pro-level, I forget whom, playing X-Faces. I honestly remember nothing about this except that he was very good, Lost In Space mostly did what it was supposed to do and El Guapo reinforcement on his final swing (which I failed to read properly, dumb dumb dumb) sealed the game for him by maybe two or three endurance points on turn 6.

3.) I remember nothing about this game except that my opponent was very friendly and polite and that I won but it was close. I think it might have been Faces.

4.) X-Faces again, and this was my first total gimp-### draw of the day - no cards to let Frankie dig, no Ivy, no Deadshot, no Lex on 4. He just steamrollered me.

5.) I think this was the match against the guy in the banana suit, who was playing IG handfill. IG handfill is a cakewalk for Lost In Space, and this was no exception; I Deadshotted Lex on 4, then stole his Joker with Grodd locking HIM out, and finished with a 36-point Mephisto swing.

6.) X-Faces again, very nice person who was very friendly and who drew for total crap, and I did not, and I annhiliated him thusly.

7.) Good Guys, never even a contest.

8.) I totally have no idea but I lost.

9.) Somebody with a VU toolbox deck who played three of us over the course of the day, and after the first match, since he was probably the only other person other than us running Mephisto, knew how to beat us. This was easily my biggest mistake of the day, though, because when he recruited Mephisto I failed to go dig characters out of my KO pile in response even though he'd just played Coercion. Again, painkillers = bad! The funny thing was that this game was hilarious, both for the Mephisto and the fact that afterwards he drew next to nothing while I mega-pumped Lex and started seriously bending the endurance totals to my advantage, and then dropped Stranger on 7. I came up about four or five endurance short of beating him, and if I'd simply dug for cards in response to his Mephisto recruit (like, for example, one of the two six-drops in the KOd pile) I probably would have won.

10.) Anti-Green-Lantern rush versus recurring Deadshots and M&Ms every turn equals win for me, but he was very pleasant.

When to first 10k and was everyone's punching all day but still had fun. Played 8 different decks out of 10 rounds and came close several times but didnt have that extra bit to go over the top,course to I took homemade deck not a netdeck or variant of. But make 1 killer deal with my Ea for particapation to make the trip worth the wild. Biggest comment over the whole thing is wish Flame Trap was legal in Silver,would have blasted those little 2 drop B******* away.

9th with a deck abusing Ronan on 4 and Kanto on 6

Round 1 played Secret Society KO light with judge jury on 4 and 5 he didn't flip a resource after 4 he couldn't hit Ronan

Round 2 played Avengers he missed 2 and 4 and under dropped on 5

Round 3 played Skrulls close but pulled it out with 2 endurance nice game Mark

Round 4 played faces who missed on 2 and wasn't able to flip any faces with Ronan out

Round 5 can't remember i won
Round 6 played SS missed 5 and 6 I lose
Round 7 missed 6 against faces and lose by 5 endurance no under drop
Round 8 CVU had kanto on six with initative with no way for ahmed to be saved
Round 9 Lost to avengers on 6 to wonderman not enough endurance to pay for Kanto

Round 10 won don't remember what i played against

3 Kree/VU decks money'd; 10th, 12th (Ryan Jones), 24th (Joe Bryan). I think it is one of the best decks out there for silver, IMO.

Yoshi, could you tell us more about your deck please. Ronan is such a savage in the comics that you need to tell us more!

Rep'd all.

Majestic: You should post a report or your insights mon!

I definatly liked the idea, I played against it rounds 9 and 10, but it seems to have had a bad matchup against faces. Although ryan drew the worst possible hand ever.

Mr. Zarbon and I made a deck to desrtoy good guys and Deep Green and we went 5-5, and 4-6. -_-' Respectibly>? Apparently people still like to play x statix. We made a Doom/Inhumans deck for a number of reasons. We figured no one would know what the hell was going on, in which most of the time they didnt. We also realized that alot of people on the forums were like Doom sucks along with inhumans. Most of all it was pure Jank, and we love Jank.

The deck uses ihumans cards like the royal guards, the blue area of the moon, and exploiting the flaw with divinity, to allow her to clear the board on 4. Then on 5 they attack into divinity and we use Defend yourself clear the board, and attack to the face. Turn Six Karnak gets a cosmic counter and dinu moves their only character to the hidden area.

Round1: I went against that lost in space deck. It is rather annoying to play against and everyone I saw that played against it looked like they were in a diabetic coma. I almost beat it but grodd took my divinity -_-'

Round2: I cannot recall for some reason or another.

Round3: I played an avengers deck, and he missed 3, so divinity took care of the rest.

Round4: I wrecked a deep green deck. I pulled merlyn out with no man and Ko'd him. Plus the deep green player returned ahmed via spire, so hes board and location engine was gone.

Round5: Wrecked another deep green deck. Similar to the one above.

Round6:I lost to Faces. When I was at 41 and he was at 19. I was alittle disgruntaled with after this one. After my swing back, the score was neg 5 to 1.

Round7: I go against a straight Checkmate location deck. I look for no man on 3 with Dr. Doom, but then right after I use Enemy of my Enemy to look for a character. On 3 hours of sleep, this was the worst mistake of the day. I was soo disappointed after this one, because I had a good chance of climbing the tables after this one, but I lost badly. My opponent later told me he had no way of combating the no man with divinity. OUCH!

Round8: Xmental?! Yeah Xmental beat me because he got rid of my team up so divinity either had to KO herself or a resource, because my other characters were inhumans.

Round 9:I cannot remember.

Round10: I faced Kim Canton. Xstatix is hard to beat but I could have won the game if I drew Dinu. Because she did not have the star of the show, I would have attacked to the face for the game!!!!! But no, no Dinu! BOOO!

It was alot of fun getting responses from my opponents, like I dont know what they hell just happened good game. Mr. Zarbon's opponet told him after he lost that "I used to win PCQ's." People dropped after we beat them when they only had 3 loses. Overall I liked playing my Jank and it was awesome.

I (Jeremy Runyan) was the 10th. Loren ran me over so hard round 10 with the complete nuts draw. He killed me on my initiative turn 4. He discarded Amsterdam to Beetle on 2 because he had the other 3...

I plan on writing maybe a long post or an article about how I made the final list. I need to give major props to Shane Wiggan's article on the succesfull decks of the past and why he believes they were successfull. They made me completly re-examine my list, and the cards I added in literally won me around 6 of my 7 games I won. I made a few tweaks and all of sudden everything started clicking.

Randomly, even without a team or anyone really to test with I knew about Lost in Space (Tim roomed with me at Indy because we needed a replacement for someone who cancelled) and Faces being incredibly good for SA before the tourney. I just didn't have the cards or the time to build either. I knew my matchup against any deck planning past 5 was great so I ran with it hope-ing people would either default to Checkmate variants or Stall because of the new tools in Heralds. I did add in as much as I could to my Kree list to fight back, but overall you need major luck to win the matchup. With my list and the power of Faces, I just don't think its viable until Faces loses steam IMO.

All things considered, my first constructed tourney was one heck of a ride.

Any chance you're going to write a report?

That would be the awesome.

Thanks for those of you who have chimed in.

The rest of you who are just tuning in - throw in the reps!
