![]() If you'd like to see it, check it out at Cardshark, coming to you all the way from 2005! The deck has come a long way from its original incarnation. I started trying to come up with ways to maximize the usefulness of Fling without just making my own Sneak Attack deck (that and I couldn't afford a set of them at the time, I was a broke college student). Since I wasn't playing back during Stronghold, I had never seen Fling before, and I was impressed. He would Sneak out something terrifying, like you're supposed to, then he would use Fling to get double duty out of his poor doomed creature. The real inspiration for the deck, as far as I can remember anyway, was my friend Corey's Sneak Attack deck. The 2008 version was superior in almost every way (except the casting of Betty Ross – Liv Tyler can't hold a candle to the aforementioned Connelly). The only good things about that movie, other than the one action sequence where Hulk chucks the tank, were the casting of the Ross family (Jennifer Connelly and Sam Elliot – holy crap!) and Lou Ferrigno's cameo. ![]() There's no way this cinematic bucket of fail inspired anything other than an early bowel movement. So I turned to Magic, and thus was born the Chuck Deck! After throwing my back out and spending a while in the hospital with gamma radiation poisoning, I decided perhaps an exact duplication wasn't such a good idea. When I saw Hulk pick up a tank by the turret, spin around, and let it go hammer throw style, I knew I had to do that for myself. In 2003, Ang Lee released a masterpiece, his take on Marvel's Green Goliath, Hulk. And when I got home the last thing I wanted to do was sit in front of a computer again.īut now I'm unemployed and have nothing but time on my hands, so here I am to start writing again! In my time thus far without a job, I've been watching lots of movies, and I just watched the one that originally inspired this next deck. Then work picked up and ran, and my computer got co-opted for use on the production floor, so I wasn't able to do it there anymore. ![]() I primarily worked on these 60 Card Challenge posts at work during lunch and breaks. There you guys are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Where have you been for the last 4 months? I've had this decklist and discussion ready to go all this time. Let us know what you think or what you'd throw in a Core Set.īreak Music - Zeromus by The Black Mages. Easy, right? Well this time we're taking on Blue, and we've got lots of interesting choices. The catch is that each card we choose must be one that has never been printed in a Core Set. Then each of us took this list of staples and found cards to fit them. For each color, he came up with six things that each color always does all the time, which I refer to as "staples". In case you don't remember, Brian came up with this idea a while back. Then there's a brief musical interlude and we go right back into Core Set: Mana Pool Edition. We've got the big Commander announcement, some decks from the Star City Invitational, and a quick rant about Tomoharu Saito's non-induction to the Hall of Fame and how little Wizards said about it. Then we have news, which is really not news anymore but it's our take on these news items. ![]() Just in time for Christmas, it's a late episode! Sweet! This episode has a lot of stuff going on, starting with emails covering everything from subliminal messages to holiday habits. ![]() Read Chewie's 60 Card Challenge blog posts at I hope you guys enjoy it, and we'll see you again next year!īreak Music - Brinstar from Metroid by Hirokazu Tanaka. This time we have 6 staples from my favorite color! I've typed about this several times before, so if you have no idea what I'm talking about, check the last few episodes. Then we have the Black installment of the Core Set: Mana Pool Edition. Just made it in before 2011! On this episode we take a look at some listener mail, check out how Worlds ended this year (complete with a quick look at some of the decks in the Top 8), take a look at the nonsense surrounding the next two Magic expansions, and talk about the recent rules changes to EDH (or Commander if you prefer). ![]()
