Calling Forth the Myths.

That is another fabulous example of the hand-painted sketch cards that are inserted into the new Marvel Masterpieces packs.  Those are by Chris Ortega.  Six random examples that hold some fairly profound connections to our upcoming Marvel Universe expansion set.  And, most importantly, they call to me as a beacon in the night.
Storm tells me [...]

League of Extraordinary Wood Rats.

Mad grats to Soshi Kenpachi for starting this bonfire, let’s see if we can get it burning brightly enough to light up the World Championships.  This is how I would start:
12 Novice Assassins
12 SHIELD Agents
4 Squirrel Girl
4 Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD
Beyond that, I am open to suggestions.  I have never been initiated into the League [...]

Squirrel Girl > All.

You can click on that for a closer look.  It’s true, Squirrel Girl can beat ANYONE in the comic books.  I have received a couple incredulous emails, so now I present the proof.  She took down Thanos Himself!

Marvel Universe Preview: Squirrel Girl and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.

Where were you in 1992?

Did you know that Deadpool wears the Squirrel Girl underoo?

Can you imagine a more exciting day for Stu?

Yes, my dear Vs. System friends, that card is real. I am not imagining things. After four long years and 16 full expansion sets, she is finally here. Something squirrelly this way comes.
Her first [...]

Weekend in Heaven: World Championship Edition.

(Master Mold, chilling, by Cully Hamner. From Upper Deck’s Vs. System.)
Wondering about Worlds…
Should I play Sea Creatures, no matter what?
What if Marvel Universe brings some sort of tiny army goodness that tastes even better?
What do you think the Modern metagame will look like, knowing that we only have a very limited amount of MUN information?

Random Punks at Hobby League foiled by Wonder Woman’s wily defensive tricks.

Last night our Hobby League was a trip.  We started playing Random Punks to get ready for the Clash of Worlds kit.  We had a full Earth 2 deck, some concealed CSA beats, Future Foes, QuickFate, my little X-babies punks, and…
Bring It On!
It was hilarious.   In the finals, Chris had his powered-up JLA deck sporting [...]

The biggest little beats in the game, on top once again.

Indeed, I have seen that particular run of luck in my resource row.  It was part of the wackiest interview ever, and now it has triumphed in another terrifying epiphany of Vs. System pleasure.  Click the links and groove on some truly marvelous madness this glorious Monday morning.

Prize Shirt Preview.

There you go.  The first hand-stenciled prototype Full Body Transplant prize shirt, in living color.  If anyone knows jedimario on Realms, tell him to send me his size and snail mail.  He is the winner of the Cards through the Ages contest.   Mad grats.
The Earth 3 contest is currently being controlled by Pi.  Don’t be intimidated by his comprehensive entry, click [...]

For Your Viewing Pleasure.

So, as you can see, Typhoid Mary has led me to the promised land.  The artist known as Red.  Living in Montreal, surely as excited as we are about the playoffs starting tommorrow night.  Each one of those cards was randomly packaged by Upper Deck and flung to the far corners of the collecting universe.  [...]

Captain America really gets around.

Almost four months ago, I found Mysterio playing hockey.  Today, it’s Captain America.  I know he is hot stuff from all the Marvel Universe previews, but this is ridiculous.  One day before the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin, on a hand-painted card that was inserted into the Marvel Masterpieces packs?  Nice.
