Not exactly the most dangerous looking team. I managed to beat a friend who fielded Ares, Darkseid, and a pair of parademons. It was a lot of fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-61754796658942482172007-03-18T16:34:00.000-05:002007-03-18T16:34:00.000-05:00My 3-year-old is currently in my lap.

My all time favorite that I put together was an Illuminati: New World Order deck consisting of nothing but police agencies and space agencies/events. "PIGS IN SPAAAAAACE!" My second favorite, another INWO deck, was probably the deck that created the shadow council of Big Alcohol, gay rights groups, and Texas: Beers, Steers, and Queers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437362285081996455noreply@blogger.com
