23th feb - close brush with death

late nite at work was perfectly fine, except for 1 matter. both me and my junior failed to see something and nearly endangered the life of the entire crew. i probably wont say it out here thou, nv know when those pesky ppl from up there will come probing into my blog again. but all i will say that it was close... very close. i'm thankful it didnt happen....

with abt say... 7 months left, not counting my leave, my boots are slowly startin to give way. part of the rubber sole on my left boot is coming off. theres this saying amongst all of us that the boots they give us is jus enuff to last us thru our duty for 2 yrs. how true. ;p

off work and onto the draft tables, i dont seem to be doing very well with the new set. while it didnt take me very long to understand DSM, i'm still quite lost on this set. alot of the key cards in the set are uncommon. there are also alot of team stamped plot twists which makes it more restrictive when drafting. doubling the common print doesnt help, in fact i feel it makes it worse.

currently i seem to be drafting x-statix more often then i should and only because ppl tend to ignore them. they have very strong uncommons, like go in swinging, grandstanding, tike alicar (who is perfect with the 2 above mentioned plot twists), nv give up, mind over matter, etc. the burning desire of pulling a dead weight, mai kar fei, zeitgeist combo is so great it hurts.

the 2 most powerful teams however i feel are MK and CL.

MK is probably the best and only because they have midnight sons and access to atk pumps like bring the pain and headshot, crime and punishment is also more powerful when u still can atk aft playing it. and did i mention punisher's armoury and war wagon? *shudders*

CL is up next cos of their ability to play very defensively. face the master and drive by shoot in are not very funny cards when u have to play against them. jus let them beat u, then counteratk.

king take knight questions still fog my head. this thing abt init and passing init. does it mean that we have been playing wrongly with power cosmic and silver surfer all along? cant seem to find any clarification on the matter, not on the rules list, not on the official card referance. hmm...

alright, time to log off and get to work. praying for a quiet night...
