Last night our weekly lcg/ccg/tcg happened.
This week saw MtG get to the table.
Diego, Marcin, and myself did multiplayer combat using the mono colour decks from the MtG Game Night kit. This was going to be an evening of casual kitchen table MtG with a group of friends. Exactly what this product was designed for.
Marcin played the mono white deck for both games. Diego played mono black in game one, and mono green in game two. I went true to form starting with mono blue, followed by mono red.
In the first game as the blue player I just had to try and weather the storm of the other two until I was able to get to a win condition of some sort.
Part of that delaying tactic was equipping a creature of Marcin’s that was getting very scary with the cards it had been equipped with. Luckily my contribution goaded that creature. So it had to attack Diego.
But once Diego was out of the picture it was coming for me, and I wasn’t able to draw into a solution. So the inevitable happened with Marcin getting the win.
Game two as mono red I needed to hang around long enough to get the decks dragons out. Sadly I didn’t draw any of the cards that allowed me to reduce the cost of playing a dragon.
Marcin had some annoying life gain going on. My only hope was to once again get the other two fighting it out between themselves.
At one point I came to a deal with Diego that he wouldn’t attack me for three turns to try and buy me enough time to get something going on the dragon front.
But in the end politicing only gets you so far. This time not far enough, and I was soon taken out by Diego and his green horde.
It was a fun evening.
Tuesday night is fastly becoming my fav game night at the moment. And that’s not because it’s my only game night at the moment.
The evening of gaming usually ends between 9pm and 9:30pm. Mainly because there is no other business at the social club. And we are not drinking enough to justify being open any later. Which is fine. After a long day at work that’s about the right time to call it a night for me anyway.
Plus the evening although competitive also has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere to it.
Looking forward to next week.
