I play/judge VS at this store, but occasionally I'll stop by on a Saturday and hit up Magic followed by Yu-Gi-Oh! as well (borrowing a friends YGO deck). The Hobby Shop inside Parkwood Mall Wilson, NC The Shop recently got some fame and recognition when one of our local players (and a...

Yeah, Faces by itself really isn't all that strong in this format. A friend of mine who's rooming with me at the PC has been tinkering with an X-Men/Masters of Evil aggro deck and it seems to work pretty well. I don't think he'd like me sharing the build online, but think of cards like...

eBay and local dealers at PCQs and stuff. I've got a pretty good relationship with most of the good dealers around the area so I can get stuff at a fairly decent price, and in other cases can work out decent trades with them. eBay of course is the most obvious source though for online...

That's why you just take my route and go undefeated or only have 1 loss through swiss rounds. That tends to give you top 8 finishes, ;-).

What's weird is when you take into account the weekend events were Richmond on Saturday and Durham on Sunday. Richmond may be in VA, but it's not that far from Durham (I even travel between the two on double event weekends) and both are hosted by Star City. Richmond on Saturday had like 20...

I didn't really read any of the posts here so this may not fit with the conversation, but just off the title I figured I'd post this. I've found that playtesting in some formats isn't really needed. For example, playtesting Golden Age isn't really that big of a deal. Mainly because barring...

I don't know about this to be honest... I ran Curve for the better part of a year so I was always kinda partial to Bastion obviously. But currently I guess my new favorite character card would have to be Amelia Voght, she's just evil.

*Shrugs* I picked up the game by myself... tested by myself (still do really, with the exception of guys I know now that I see everyone once and awhile) and the first PCQ I ever played in I came in 3rd... *Shrugs*... I guess I'm just that good, lol.

Looks slightly interesting but I don't think it'll make much of a splash in the MMA since the burn theme really doesn't work well when you're looking for beatdown attacks. I'd go with a standard Acolytes build instead if I were you, take out the burn for Heroes in Reserve and you've basically...

There are gals that play, they're just few and far between. Anyways, the events just 3 weeks away, w00t and I've already booked my hotel room for the weekend so I'll most definitely be there. With my PC points capped at 20 right now I need to get rid of a few of them, lol. Anyways folks...

Don't worry, when I volunteered I was under the impression that it was in the DC area as well... which is why I told Laurel it was no big deal since it was only a 4-hour drive. But now it looks more like a 6-hour drive and a bit iffy... I still plan on going and working the event... but it all...

I won't be able to make it to the March 5th regional, sorry. Got a few tournaments that Star City is hosting that weekend that I'll be at, most likely playing in the PCQ for once actually... especially when you consider the fact that I've literally judged 3 weeks straight (with 2 more weeks...

I'll most likely be there judging, Ms. Chiat and myself have passed back a few emails and it looks like she'll be happy to have me on staff there. I'll be down for a room on Friday and Saturday night so unless I have to bail out for some reason I'm on staff and will see you guys there. It'll...

All right, I know this is locked, I know that the staff here doesn't want people to add onto this. But me being the kind of guy I am, I'm not just gonna ignore this either. I'm not as hands on as I used to be around here, the staff here now does pretty much everything that I did by myself for...

Yeah DJ, sorry to tell you but you're a little late. AGL rush decks have been tearing it up on Golden Age tournaments since JLA came out. Cards like Felix and Chomin just made them beastly. Using Chomin to stun AGL's after you've attacked with them and keeping them for later, and then...

Yeah, we got them at The Hobby Shop out this way as well. I bought one when they first came out but then ended up not using it. They don't work well with standard size cards in sleeves (like VS and Magic cards). Although they're perfect for YGO size cards in sleeves. The problem occurse...

Entire set is now on decktech.net/vs if you're interested in it.

I'll be there playing in the VS sealed event, so I'll see you folks there. DJ, you need to look me up, Demetrius will be able to point me out.

Yeah, PCQ's have been growing in size recently. Maybe you should try your luck with a few sealed PCQ's, sealed is normally small and the competition sometimes isn't as fierce. If you're at least somewhat familiar with the set being played then you've also got a good shot to win just as much as...

Don't worry, I haven't even started putting anything together, I'm hoping to stockpile a lot of Avengers and X-Men stuff in a few weeks though. Star City owes me quite a few boxes right now for judge compensation so I should have enough to put something nice together. I'm teetering on what I...
