Yeah, I know, but we never played tournament rulings, so everything was
allowed.

about magic...again

anyone i've ever seen play wouldn't even play
banned cards in friendly play...they are banned for a reason....they are
either too powerful, or two contraversial (rulings, errata, etc.) they
are wotc's admitted mistakes in card ideas...but even using them...there
is no such thing as an unbeatable deck...

and i also agree, this is a shadowrun list, not a magic list...i still
love and play magic, and i'll argue my point all day long...but i doubt
anyone on this list wants to hear it

i think we are getting off the subject here....no deck in any card game is
unbeatable..even if you have 5 of every single card... tell me this what good
are all those power cards if you don't have them in your hand at that point in
time....when they are at the bottom of the deck???huh mr. you need the good
cards to play....thats why you play with the cards in your hand and that my
friends is where the skill part takes over...knowing your deck and how to
react to certain situations.....there aren't good decks, just good
players...and thats the bottom line...

Thanks Noah my humilliation is now complete ;-)....all kidding assidehe's
right he out played me today and all ...I did say ALL my deckers and other
money cards were at the bottom so it's just about what you can do with what's
in your hand at the time...cuase I just might have rompped all over im today
if I had the cash to keep him busy elsewhere ...I also had very few challenges
to play as well, you wanna talk about game killers this is the worst it sucks
when you gotta send Jade out to intercept the other team ....
