I don't know about you, but in addition to comics and comic book related merchandise, my local shop offers a fine selection of collectible games. Mainly Magic the Gathering, Heroclix, and other similar interesting ways to build a customizable game that can be played against others who partake.

Of which I used to be one. Before moving to arizona and back, I frequently engaged in tournament play (which, sadly has ceased at the shop, but that's a completely different matter.). I recently decided that now would be a good ime to get into some casual play. And it occurred to me that, with video gamers, comic fans, and cartoon afficionados in ze guild, there were sure to be a few collectible gamers, as well. And so, I decided to open the Workshop as a way for us to share deck/troop lists and strategies. because after a few years out of the loop, I could use a little help myself . . .

Wow, nice idea Lex! 3nodding
With the popularity of VS. System and Heroclix, Im surprised we havent done one of these before.

I have a local Heroclix tourney coming up this Sunday. Has to be a 1000 point team, with half of it a team ability, and the other half that team's enemies. Example:
Hydra and Shield
JLA and Injustice Society
Doom and Fantastic Four
Spiderman and Spiderman enemy

Im doing a X-Men/Brotherhood of Mutants team. I love both's team abilities, but it just isnt coming together too well yet. sad

I want to get back into a game, either Magic or VS System, but none of my friends want to play anything and I don't want to just play tourneys.

Heh. I'd actually like to get back into tournament play one day. Not any time in the near future, since I'm starting all over.

But as far as VS goes, oddly enough, that's one of the few games Mike doesn't carry. he said he used to, but response was . . . . underwhelming. What's the system like?

I used to play Heroclix a few years back but none of my friends liked it so i eventually stopped. I still have every non-unique from the first set to the Silver Surfer set I think.

I play Magic though. Its funny, I used to play at the shop every weekend with my friends for the last two years but ever since about seven months ago I stopped. We usually just go to one friend's house (the same friend everytime xd ... his Mom makes the best brownies) and play magic/risk/halo/ect.

I've got some pretty cool magic decks but my friends are Gods compared to me costruction wise. I'm a pretty good drafter though. 3nodding

Heh. To demonstrate how long ago it was . . . . this was my last tournament deck. it was for Extended format, and it was a thing of absolute beauty. A really simple idea, but combining elements of Suicide Black with Buried Alive made people hate me.

4 Priest of Gix
4 Carnophage
4 Ashen Ghoul
4 Nether Shadow
4 Unholy Strength
4 Sarcomancy
4 Dark Ritual
2 Hatred
4 Vampiric Tutor
4 Buried Alive
2 Drain Life
1 Nevinyrral's Disk
4 Claws of Gix
14 Swamp
2 Lake of the Dead

Sideboard
3 Nev's Disk
4 Darkest Hour
4 Grave Pact
2 Drain Life
2 Hatred

Before Christmas last year, I was on my way to playing Magic - I have a green/white deck that one of the guys put together for me for free.
Long story short, I never got to play casual play due to unseen circumstances. I thought about hanging around the shops to pick it up, but that will have to be starting after the Christmas rush.
I can share my Elf deck if you're interested.

Aiight folks, Im creating a Heroclix team. There is a open Heroclix day at my local comic shop Monday from 10am-6pm, since its Labor Day and all.

Ive already created myself a nice Teen Titans team for 400pts, and I need another team, 500pts. Id like a team built around two powers. For example, a Perplex/Outwit team. Or maybe a Probability Control/Hypersonic Speed team.

Hook me up! Let me hear them recommendations!

So. Anyone liking the cards in time twist? I'm still trying to decide. Of course, I've only got 2 startrs and 1 booster to decide from ^^;;

Time spiral is RIDICULOUS.

(though, anything with "Spiral" in it has to be.)

I bought 2 boxes, but those are mostly to resell as singles.

PostPosted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:34 am


i have some, but I've missed out on the last 80 or so sets.

Actually, there's very few CC games i don't have at least a few cards for.

I havn't played at all since I graduated high school in 2005. So, I've missed all the sets since then.

Skull lair was my best friend until they changed the rules on that card.... It used to be that you could remove any card from your graveyard and destroy your opponents monster with that many stars, now you can only remove monster cards from your graveyard.... Then every time I remove a card from play i would gain lifepoints from one of my spell cards... BWahahaha!
