The Jank Within: Double Issue

This week was a big week for me for VS.

We had our local Clone Saga event on Sunday. I played a modified version of my Black Bolt deck, and 5-0′d. For my troubles I won a Hellboy Essential Collection, the first I have managed to get.

This is relevant, not because I like to big up the Black Bolt. But because it allowed me to teach someone the game.

Random Thoughts by Felix Hughes

When Steve decided to open up a place for people to write who were too lazy to maintain their own Blogs I was happy to jump at the chance. If there is one thing I like doing it’s thinking and writing about VS. I’m planning on getting something new here every week or so (and the same with the British Initiative as well, so I’m going to be a little busy). Unfortunately I decided to do all this right when I hit my busiest time of the month at work so for my firs try, rather than a single cohesive (sort of) article, you are going to be subjected to a few things that have occurred to me this week.

UK Events: Clone Saga – Sheffield

Time: Sunday 5th October, 12.00 start
Location- Patriot Games (Travel details can be found at http://www.patriotgames.ltd.uk)
Format: Clone Saga/Wars (whichever you prefer to call it!)

This is silver age, with the added twist that characters aren’t unique. Hurrah! You could play 2 Ahmeds… Or hopefully something more creative than that. Expect broken combos!

Prizes: 1st prize is a Hellboy box, still sealed. 2nd prize is an X-men playmat. 3rd prize is some on the newer promos. The usual participation cards are available for those that want them

Cost: 50p entry just to contribute to the cost of the prize support.

We got 14 people last time, so with a cool format and a good prize hopefully we’ll get even more.

Clone Saga and Marvel Ultimates

Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a couple of weeks since my last update. I’ve been sunning myself on a beach for a while, but now I’m back in dreary old England. Back to the grind. Back to the depressing days looking out of the office window and seeing nothing but grey sky.

 

There is, however, a ray of light shining through. UDE have announced a new format for Marquee events, and that is Clone Saga. The rules for this format are simple. Clone Saga is a Silver Age constructed event, with a twist. The uniqueness rules do not apply when recruiting or substituting a character into play. The following is the OP email sent out by UDE
