Monday morning means back to the daily grind, a stop for coffee on the way in to work, and this week's predictions for the weekly Highlander TCG event at Misty Mountain. We decided after the Lean and Mean format last week to stick with the standard of doing a Constructed Event after either a Lean and Mean or a Draft.
So here we will go with what I am anticipating we will see.
The Dude - I am thinking we will see Luther if his shipment makes it in. I am also thinking 83% likely we will see it even if the shipment doesn't make it in.
Van the Man[ager] - Malick if he looks at his cards at all since last week. He has most of the Malick cards in our group, so he SHOULD be playing him. Maybe I will get in early and make him a Malick deck.
The German Kid - Marcus Octavius, but only because we did not see the Roman Emperor Wannabe last week. Probably only 83% likely as well, since he might change it when he sees my prediction.
Zombie Joe - Something old school. I don't think I have enough for a good SfV deck. Most of my rares were of the generic variety. Assuming The Dude gets his shipment in, I might do a karmic deck and just build a deck around a random persona -- for funsies.
Nick - There is an off chance that my son may be off school and would make this event. If he does, I am guessing he would play something he is comfortable with, like The Kurgan. If I had enough to do an anime persona, I am sure he would vote for one of those.
As always, the results of the predictions and the event will follow tomorrow.

That is only cause Kharma worked so well for me last week.

Here we go with the predictions... The Dude - Well I was partially correct. Luther was on bat should his final crystal made it in, but he decided to play a different deck entirely since it did not. I am not revealing it here, as he did not make it to the event last night, so I want it to be a surprise for everyone. Van the Man[ager] - He did in fact show with Malick this week! While he did not do as well with it as he would have liked, The German Kid and I agreed it was a good start. With a little tweaking it will be a tough deck. And the chain saw is scary. The German Kid - Again I was partially correct. Marcus was in the plans, but he was missing a few cards to pull it off. Luckily (for him) I traded him some of those cards after the event. For this week though he played a Martin Hyde pistol deck. From what I hear, he's too sexy for his sword - if you know what I mean. Nick - was MIA. He did not have the early release from school I thought he did. He would have played Richie if he did. Zombie Joe - This week was entry one into the Rock Stars of Highlander. I started out with the "Tommy" Gun Deck. Hugh Fitzcarin with the Rapier in the Irish Pub. Roger Daltry... The Who... Tommy Gun is a type of machine gun... Tommy... anyone? Tommy Gunn vs. Martin "too sexy" HydeI was able to deal with the pistols well enough. It would have went better if I pulled an Irish Pub sooner, but towards the end of our endurance I misplayed. I played a Master's Block without following up with a Master's Wit and his Stalk took my head. I then realized I forgot to add Alertness into the deck. Tommy Gunn vs. Malick "and we will all go down together"I managed to work well against his deck through most of the game even though I could not play out my Irish Pub thanks to his Warning. For my forced exertions I would either make a power blow, search for an additional attack to throw, or use my ability to prevent damage with my "charm" and use the Cavalier Hat to pull a spare empathy card into my hand. I did blow through my endurance once, but he had taken a few hits by that time, and was going through his endurance too. Total Stats
The German Kid (2-0 with one head taken) Zombie Joe (1-1 no heads taken) Van the Man[ager] (0-2 no heads taken)
