From: Brett [mailto:f16lousyspy@yahoo.com] Location: Las Vegas, Nevada Ground Zero: Kool Kollectables Entratnts: 2 Date of contact: FEB192004 Name: Brett Hurley Wizkids ID: Lousyspy Woohoo, 2 tournaments in a week. Here's the format: 400 point team Build a 300 point team, and then buy a boosters and get the other hundred that way. It was me and another guy playing. Here's my 300 point team. <> U - Super Skrull (127) U - Phoenix (86) E - Pyro (35) V - Destiny (29) FEAT: Trick Shot (20) (on Phoenix) Basically, ranged combat experts and Super Skrull. I get a Mutant Meyhem Booster. In it, I get V Spiderman, E Silver Sable, E Skullbuster, R Wolverine. And some Feat card I couldn't use I end up throwing Sable and Skullbuster on the team. I can't remember what he got, but his clix were over 50 points each, so he could only pick one, I believe he picked E Polaris Hie team consisted of (and I'm going off of a slightly bad memory) U - Hulk (the Mutant Meyhem one....the grey beatstick) E - deathstroke ?? - Blink (don't quote me on this one, all I remember is that it could Telekenesis) (I think there was a nother figure, but I can't remember) The match starts off with Hulk Getting Telekenesised to the middle of the board. I send in Super Skrull and deathstroke was outwitting his defenses, and the Skrull team ability was working at it's finest (rolling 1's and 5's). And Super Skrull died in the first 3 turns. Crap. I end up killing off the other figure I can't remember with Phoenix. This attention draws hulk to Phoenix. I start to surround Hulk with the rest of my team and just go absolutely berzerk on Hulk. Like that does any good, Hulk gets stronger the more he gets damaged. Pyro gets hurt pretty badly by Deathstroke and gets pulled back. The melee attack to Hulk continues and he ends up killing off Phoenix. This looks bad. He THEN starts to draw attention to my two booster pulled figures: The Silver Sable and Skullbuster. As soon as he does this, the Hulk gets trounced by dual attacks from the two of them. This prompts the death of Pyro by Deathstroke and Destiny by the same hand. The fight then goes down to my Silver Sable and Skullbuster to his Polaris and Deathstroke. I start in on Deathstroke because his Willpower is what's making him a killing machine, and his Polaris has missed 2 attacks up to this point. A couple hits by Energy Explosion and both of them start suffering. This prompts a seperation on his part. Another blow to Deathstroke and he lands on Regeneration. Aw man, no. On his turn, he rolls a 2....at least it wasn't a 6 like my last tournament. So I push Sable and Deathstroke dies next turn. As this happens, his Polaris FINALLY hits Skullbuster and his stats take a crap quickly. Polaris then Focuses her attention to Sable and damages her. Now I have blades claws and fangs. I clear the tokens, and the next turn, I run up to her and attack. Rolling a 6 for BCF. Wow, that was unexpected. And it eviscerated her in the process, whee! That was close, my whole team suckd and got killed by Hulk which was disappointing (but I did a few stupid moves on my part that would have helped), but ah well, I edned up getting a LE Cloak (can't remember the ACTUAL name, but it's a gold ringed Cloak) I'll be there again, it'll be the same format nextweek, except that's it's build a 100 point team and use another 10 for boosters. I'll just show up with a Mojo and see what it hands me, just for fun. The guy proceeded to tell me that I played Phoenix wrong and that I should have used Pulse Wave. Now, I don't know about you. But I may be a bit new, but I KNOW that Hulk sucks to be in close range to, plus, Phoenix starts off doing 5 damage from a distance. I value killing off a click rather than doing a lot of piddly damage to a whole group of them. When it comes to Pulse Wave, I'll pick and chose my fights, Hulk is not that fight. He did offer some good suggestions though, I have a new respect for Marvel Girl and Vertigo. so rockin! I learned something new. Hope to write again soon!
