Star Realms Scott’s Revenge

star realms

Continuing my recent series of boring Star Realms games, this one has Scott returning to form and annihilate me.


If that didn’t put you off the game the latest update adds another expansion. I’m not too bothered with the campaign side, I don’t play it. But the extra cards I’ll gladly take.


WWG added in-app tournaments which is going to be interesting to see how this develops, and what sort of costs are involved.

The initial tournament is 20 units of the in game currency an attempt, which is approximately 25 cents if my calculations are correct.

Looking at the prices below depending on the cost of other events I’m reasonably happy with the charges being made to buy the in game currency.


Considering I have won one game and got a reward of 3 credits, the temptation to keep playing to get those foils is tempting. It helps that the cost to enter is low. But is that because WWG want to draw people in to get them used to paying to play? If WWG keep the prices low, then I can see this taking off. But if they get the pricing wrong, and try to milk the players I won’t be using this.

Magic League This Weekend At The Hobbit Hole.

magic, Magic League, MtG

This Saturday my FLGS The Hobbit Hole kicks off at 11am the Magic League for Dominaria.
“Players start with 3 boosters and may purchase another each week, plus another after any set of three losses.” From that initial 3 booster packs you build a 30 card deck with which to play against other players participating in the league.

When you buy that initial 3 packs you get a “collection box”, which is basically a cardboard box to store you deck and unused cards in. Plus after you have played 10 games you get a promo card. Which for the League games is Zhalfirin Void I believe.


Naturally it will be rather nifty to get a copy of this, so I’m going along to take part. I’m hoping that I will be a bit luckier in my pulls for this. I haven’t been overly lucky so far with this set.

So long and thanks for all the fish

As final days at a place goes this was a pretty good one, if not on the expensive side.

I’d ordered a cake for the staff room, along with 24 cup cakes for my level 3 students that were in today.

After the cup cakes had been wolfed down, my Dragon Tribal deck swooped from the sky reigning fire on the other players. It helped that 2 of my opponents were mana screwed, they were just not getting any.

Between the fiery destruction in Commander and lunch there was time to do a quick run to my FLGS The Hobbit Hole to pick up a bundle for Dominaria and another Prerelease kit. I’ll go over the pulls in another post.

Lunchtime a massive abuse of the Two for One Tuesday deal at the local Dominos meant there was pizza in the staff room and for my students. The pizza for my students didn’t last long at all. A plague of locusts take longer to strip a field of crops, and that’s fast.

I suppose I was feeling a little extra generous with it being my 50th yesterday and all. In a way this was a kind of me celebrating yesterday but doing it today, along side saying farewell.

My year 1 Level 3 students got me a play mat that some of them had signed. Which is pretty cool, and a nice thing to remember them by. Going to miss them, they were a great bunch on the whole.

Although I’m leaving these students, I hope I made the last day an enjoyable one for them. They have a lot of work ahead of them to complete the year. But I know they will do it.

For now I’m going to rest on my laurels for the evening. Tomorrow is a new start for me, and the work starts all over again.
