Blinded by the light…or is that the shine from his forehead? Presenting…
BALDSDAY!
Hey peeps! Welcome to Baldsday! Here we celebrate all things Vs. and talk about how we can make the game we all love so much, even better.
Ok, time to come clean. I just do not have the time (or frankly the energy) between my bouts with kidney stones to complete the Clones Brackets. Plus, I asked people to build the best THEMED decks, not the most deadly. Some people followed the spirit of the rules better than others, and I don’t want them to be punished for that.So, I am instead presenting my awards to you all for what I feel where the best themed Clone Saga decks. I understand that you all want ‘hot round on round action’ with great detail, so I am going to have a couple of people in feature matches write about those matches at NorCal Vs Day this weekend and offer it to you in the next couple of weeks along with my regular content. I figure this way you get what you want and I get to rest between my painful procedures to shatter my stones with sound and trips to the Emergency Room: We all win!
Here are my choices for honorable mention in the ‘Build A Clone Saga Deck’ Tournament. I provide them here with a deck list so that you can build and play them for yourself:

These were my 5 favorite decks…the decks I will play again and again. I have played matches with all of the decks that were submitted at this point. They were ALL fun to play with. I will undoubtedly play them all again at some point in the future. If you would like a copy of these decks for MWS use, then please send me an e-mail. (see below)
I shared these deck lists with some of my local players, and they have created some of the decks from the tournament to play at our hobby leagues. (We vary format regularly.) Locally, Omacs World, one of the Invisible Woman decks and Mass Media were decks that were adopted by local players.
I also shared the listed of decks with some new friends I made recently that do not read this blog and who are not members of any of the major websites that support the game. These friends have never seen a tournament that was played on anything but a kitchen table, and they did not know until recently about alternate formats. Imagine their delight when they opened a care package with not only information on multiple new formats, but the decklists for 32 decks for the Clone Saga format.
Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for this tournament…you have helped me do a very good thing for a group of players that definitely deserved a breath of fresh air, and we had fun while doing it.
Also, do not forget that NorCal Vs Day is Saturday. If you live in California (especially Northern California) then you should show up and have some fun. We are expecting 20-30 players at this event, and as far as I know, it will be one of the larger Vs events held this year. (The largest NorCal event this year was NorCal Vs Day part 1, which drew 29 players and 33 people total.)
I love to make predictions about my play in events, and I am throwing down against teams of heroes and villains in the Coming of Galactus matches.
So, Nostrabaldus says:
‘The Baldman with lay the Smack down in copious amounts, and upon those who play against him in Coming of Galactus matches will be visited pains greater than a mighty Kidney Stone.’
Yay?! Anyone for a game?
