Ok guys i just started reading up on VS the other day cos i passed my demo team exam and I wanna be able to demo anything and everything that comes my way. I read DJs guide and the comprehensive rules........ Well a few pages of the ruls and used DJs guide insted...... yeah.... well anyway where was I.

Oh yes. I wanted to know a small couple of things. One that i wanna know first is if there is anything like Netrepâ„¢ that has a listing of all the cards and stuff thats easy to follow. It would help me a lot cos VS cards arent exactly easy to come by here in Ireland. i have only found one place that sells them and its miles away from me.

But beyond that i have only one real question to ask (which would be answered if the one above has an answer). I wanna know about as many of the cards that screw with the resource row as possible. Im all about screwing with a guys mind and screwing over his resources is the best way i can see to do it right now (having played no games just read the rules). So i thought id ask about this see whats out there to mess with resources and see if its worth looking into further. If it doesnt work out i best get me some new ideas.... Anyway anyone able to help?
 
For a good site to find a card listing check out http://www.ccgdb.net. We are in the process of creating a VS System database like Netrep but its not available yet.

As for card that mess with the resource row, there are a lot! It depends on how you want to mess with the resource row and what tournaments your planning on playing in (Modern/Silver/Golden).
 
Well since there aint nothing in europe right now apparently according to bishop Im thinking maybe just follow the US tournament formats which apparently according to DJ and someone else are Marvel modern right now am I right? So if it is Marvel modern then that format please.

As for what id like to do to them well...... It would be nice to combine two things. Get more resources in my row and less in his. Basicly I wanna have it so tht by some bit of fluke I end up with like.... 7 resources on turn 4 and he has 1. If thats possible cool if not anything along those lines will suffice.
 
Marvel Modern is the current format. The most I have seen so far for modern modern is replacement effects. You don't have anything that would KO a resource on your opponents side of the field in this format.

Getting ahead in resources in VS is close to impossible. Getting ahead by one resource is hard enough going up by 3 or 4 is close to impossible. The reason that UDE made it so hard to go up resources would be to keep the game balanced. Image you drop a 7-Drop 16/16 and you opponent drops a 4-Drop 7/6, can we say broken the game would be over before it started.

With that said there are plenty of ways to keep resources low. Cards like KaBoom and Foiled, both KO your resource and your opponents. You have cards like Sensei, that gain you a resource at the start of combat, but then you KO it during recovery. I think exiledforcefreak started a thread outlining cards that mess with your opponent's and your resource points and thresholds here's a link http://www.cogonline.net/threads.16236.
 
Interesting. This will give me some things to muse on for a while. i may have to get some of those online progs and play a few games to get a better idea.
