Thanks for the decklists.

Surprised by the sledge dogs in both 1st and 2nd decks, I'll have to try them out.

Could it be that there were, after all, first-rate cards in the Mountains of Madness asylum pack ??

Really enjoying this thread !

In my opinion, the puppies are probably the best 1 drops in the game when no one else is playing them. Actually I was suprised that no one else had bothered to play them besides Smash and I. Especially when there was so little actual removal from most of the factions beyond Agency (since Cthulhu didn't show up). So the dogs were free to pile up making them great early, mid and late game choices.

Plus they're consistant.On average you'd see 3-4 copies over the course of a game and if they all stay in play your looking at 3-4 Combat, 4-5 skill 1 drops...and thats scary.

Congratulations to the victor! High praise for all participants, especially both participants of the championship round.

Thanks for the amazing thread of information. All mention welcome of the scene, from shakedown street to the huge scary banners. I'd love to see the gencon video mentioned.

I wonder if two sledge dogs are due to get faqed. I say sledge fight off that which ravaged Grim Avenger and Ravenous Hunting Horror. Those dudes went from the infinite deck - which I hope somebody out there managed to trade for a year to build. Scoffed at the 3 card rule, then soon to be axed like the rest of us. In the early days of white border, black asylum (AP 1-4) were still fresh and new. They were jarringly broken off. Like Grimmy and Raveny, CCG moped the streets with his case of decks, looking concerned. Until one day CCG sees FFG courting his new buddy, LCG. Overheard, "This can work. I like your old broken friend. We'll tell him 'you're compatible'' Then we'll announce tomorrow. 'Come one, come all, except CCG, and welcome to newthulhu - core set, the mountain of horrors, the summons of the dreamlands.'"

And now we have crowned another champ. syndicate hastur was the strongest build to me, But the cops in yellow won it.

What kind of prize support was offered to the top finishers?

Images?

I think the trophy was in the shape of the core insert, only gold.

Shoes said of the trophy: " the shape of the core insert, only gold"

And you are a VERY wicked intellect.

There was a trophy, and the top 4 each got a set of handmade domains, mentioning their placement in the championship and a struggle icon (Tom's has terror, John's has Combat, etc.) Also, Tom got a prototype for something coming out in a future League Kit.

A big bravo for every players, especially for tOm, our new Champ' !!!

Concerning Dreamwalkers, I always ruled it that way, despite I understand it might be confusing...
