Dude, did you ever think if you needed more cards for green to just ask. Its no fun for me and Matt if you can't have a good deck to play with. I'm not playing this game to be uber competitive, but it is in my nature to get like that. I like the game but its at a play level where it can get to you.
Honestly, card pool really is not an issue, at least not yet. As of right now, I don't even know what I need. I am still trying to figure this game out, (the tempo, the usefullness of locations vs. starbase structures, low cost swarm vs. big beef etc.) We haven't played enough for me to really get dialed in what I need to do. Hence the monsterously huge decks, I knew they gave me zero chance to win, but it made it easier for me to see the utility of a lot of cards, seperating those that looked good from those that actually are good. That's why when I beat you completely by accident I thought it was so funny. I started this thread while you were sitting here watching me do it for God's sake.
Somehow along the way (I am still chalking it up to you being in a bad mood the next morning- get some sleep dude ) this turned into a monster flame war. I want to play this game casually, have fun with it like we do with the boardgames. There is no prizes, money, or ranking to stress about. It's okay to play to win, after all it's no fun if no one is trying. Just understand that if you don't win there is no need to go on a rampage, save that for Mechwarrior Worlds like everyone else does.
Eventually, I will have difficulty giving you guys a game. I have about 2/3 of a box, not much when there are 200 odd cards split between four factions in the set. You guys are pulling from that plus another full box. I have no way of acquiring anymore packs, unless I order a full box from Jim. If we can talk him into stocking it on the shelf where I can buy a few here and there it will be a better situation, but I don't know if that will happen since he ordered us Battlestar and we stopped buying it!
As for Thursday, yup I'll be there. I'll be packing EVE, Battlestar (In case someone shows up) and most importantly.....STAR WARS MINIATURES!!!!
BTW If you are coming, do you want to play a scenario or just a straight 200 point bash 'em up?
LMK!
