Format: Iron Man
Well here was a new idea for us, an Iron Man tournament! Now we had to modify the theory behind an Iron Man game. The general idea is if a card dies in some fashion, it dies: meaning you shread it. Well, there's a slight problem with that if you're doing a best 2 of 3 format. Someone may not have a deck left for a second game. So we decided to keep lists of everything discarded and then shred the winner's list and the loser's entire deck. Just makes you want to build a deck of Ultra-Rares, doesn't it?
Poor Razor. He came over to my place wanting to die. I don't know what was wrong with him, but it seemed a bad burrito had gone through, or was going through, his system. In any case, he was not feeling too groovy. He had thrown together a Vidiian deck of sorts and I was using a Cardassian one. Well, the scores speak for themselves. He was too out of it to think up of anything to do and his dilemmas couldn't stop me. Poor guy, I almost felt sorry for him. Almost. So his deck was bound for the shredder as were a decent number of my cards. I had used a couple rares including Salia of which I had about 4 extra. I sent her on a suicide mission just to make sure I could shred her. After the game we hauled out my dad's shredder and went to town. I didn't send Salia through, I wanted to just tear the card so you could still see what it was. The trophy is fantastic, it holds the remains of all the cards destroyed. When it gets too full, we'll burn what's in there now, keep the ashes, and start shredding again. Hopefuly the next time Razor will feel better.
