Insane in the …wait what?

So on friday we are having an Insanity Tournement, but we are turning the insanity keyword off, meaning that you could play Certifiable, but it wont do anything.

So I had my heart set on my beloved Doom/Inhumans that was wrecking house. Seriously, free stunning/bouncing/exhausting. It had lots of neat little tricks in it that I was loving, like Doom double time theifing and maybe a third with Siphon energy, which against insanity, is fun.

Talia bringing in a Crime doctor, Comissioner Gordon, Doctor sun and Boris. Boris is the Funnest though, because I have a LOT of random tech cards, because well I can get them with Boris and Attilan.

But we had a MASSIVe 19 1/2 gaming marathon on sunday night. Ha! Gaming, just VS to be perfetcly honest. If you have been reading my blog before, you will know about my horrendous luck whenever I play anywhere I get shite draws, and all sunday night, it was crapping out on me. Like I would draw Blackbolt(8), Sub Mariner(7) Invisible Woman(7) and Omnipotence, which is an incredibly fast mulligan. Then I would draw Pathetic Attempt, Siphon Energy, Doomstadt and Latveria. It was like this all night, and as much as I would like to think that I was getting all of my bad luck out of the way, I just don’t trust myself.

So, I set about making a deck, but I don’t want to spoil my secret so I will wait until saturday before revealing it.

So, over the past fortnight we recruited a new player. So, since he has a very limited amount of cards, I set about making him a deck. A simple curve X-Men deck is what we created. Nothing too complicating as to screw him with some complicating rules and plays, just a lot of aggro, defence and recovery.

It has been playing the nuts. I mean it is working like nobodies business, and he enjoys it. Which is the main thing right? It works similar to his X-Men deck, which happens to be Modern punks and is good.

Then, we built my cousin RD52169 an insanity deck. It is a concealed beats deck of no particular team. he enjoys it and it annoys me. To say it is a concealed beats deck my deck has about a 50-50 chance against it after about 7-8 games.

Well, I have to give you my list now dont I?

  1. Aunt May, Golden Oldie
  2. Black Cat, Master Theif
  3. Black Cat, Nine Lives
  4. Blade, Nightstalker
  5. Dusk, Cassie St. Commons
  6. Hornet, Eddie McDonough

  19. Spider-Man, The Amazing Bag-Man
  20. Spider-Man, The Sensational Spider-Man
  21. Spider-Man, Zombie
  22. Daredevil, The Man Without Fear
  23. Michael Collins <> Deathlok, Schizophrenic Cyborg

  26. White Tiger, Hector Ayala
  27. Daredevil, New Kingpin
  28. Man-Thing, Theodore Sallis
  29. Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly
  30. Wolverine, Canucklehead
  31. Spider-Man, Stark’s Protege
  32. Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man
  33. AN 8 DROP
  34. Ego Gem, Infinity Gem * Unique
  35. Mind Gem, Infinity Gem * Unique
  36. Unstable Molecules
  37. Avalon Space Station
  38. Daily Bugle
  39. Slaughter Swamp
  40. Soul World
  41. Acrobatic Dodge
  42. Against All Odds
  43. Alley - Oop!
  44. Burn Rubber
  45. Call in a Favour
  46. Crowd Control
  47. Girft Wrapped
  48. Hero’s Best Friend
  49. Heroes of Two Worlds
  50. Indebted
  51. Mobilize
  52. Shape Change
  53. Shrink
  54. Siphon Energy
  55. Spider Senses
  56. Spider-Signal
  57. Sticky Situation
  58. Tragic Loss
  59. Trail by Sword
  60. Twist of Fate

So, this is my list, and so far I am finding that Mattie franklin, is the NUTS. If I can draw into a Daily Bugle, she is simply amazing.

So, I have one spare slot. An 8 drop, now of course, the cosmic Spider-Man would be my best bet, but the problem is…I don’t own, nor have access to any. So at the moment I am running Hyperion, and am ditching my cards before he hit play to the Amazing Spider-Man. I want something that has a greater level of oomf, but I am not sure what as of yet.

So, Rob has just decided that he wants to back out of the tournement and just write a report. I like, no I love reports but that is just a weenie ass idea. Therefore tonight I get to work on a JLA deck and as many others I can sent his way.

Urgh, all night. All night making VS decks on the realms with a beer in my hand? Can you think of anything worse, I mean Eliza Dushku may as well walk in…i’m in for one hell of a rough night.
