End of 2010

Have a great 2011!!!

Poll Result: What do you think of bleed bounce?

Hi folks!

Here is the result of the lates poll, regarding your opinion on bleed bounce. Eighty votes were cast:

I never play without them!

7 (8%)

Essential in every tournament deck.

17 (21%)

Very good, but not essential.

55 (68%)

Totally overrated!

1 (1%)

It's no surprise that the vast majority of the people think that bleed bounce is very good. I am happy that only 21% think that bounce is esssential in every tournament deck. I was afraid that number would be higher. To those 8% who never play without them: give some decks a try that don't use bounce and see how good the can work!

Silent Nights

Hi folks!

As I am about to graduate from another school I need to write a thesis (again, bah!) and will have quite a bunch-o-exams in January, so there will be only very little blogging this month. However, I will return to you guys! I hope that the year 2011 will bring many many posts and articles and a good v:tes year!

Killer Combo: Blood Tempered Shield

Hi folks!

Another one of my less killer Killer-Combos, but maybe the most funny one. At least in my eyes. Nothing extra to explain here. Blood Tempering will make the Shield to prevent 2 damage every round of combat. Wow. Give it a trap and your done.

I will try to build this with Mata Hari and include Talbot's Chainsaw and Kevlar Vest. Seems to be fun...

What a flavor text!

Hi folks!

I just came along this by accident and I couldn't go pass this. There is a little flavor text on Anesthetic Touch: "Just relax; this won't hurt, much.Blanche Hill, Salubri"

It just reminded me of a deck I played for maybe more than 2 years. It was my favorite deck at that time and I played many finals with it, though I could never win one. Well, I should have quoted Blanche when playing it!

This was the final version:
