Does this mean I suck?

At my local comic shop, we usually have tourneys on Mondays. We pay a 5.00 dollar fee for entering a tourney. We play. The number of people we have determines how many rounds we play, so that everyone plays everybody at least once. At the tournament's end, we distribute packs (2 to the winner, and depending on how many people came, 2 to second) and 1 for the rest. We distribute promo's in the following manner: 1st gets 4, 2nd gets 3, 3rd gets 2, everyone else gets one. Because of the number of people who show up (usually 5), we almost always have promo's readily available. If you'd like to play, contact The Game Shoppe for details.

What was that? An introduction to how I play UFS. But now I'm getting to the part that merits the title. At the latest tourney, I was lucky enough to pull this:

Yeah, she's a beaut, eh? When this baby came out of my pack, there were leaps for joy to be had for all, and I quickly got home and started tihnkning of ways to use this sucker. Now, for those of you who may not play UFS (and the majority who come here for games are the people I'm talking to), this is a good card. I think.

Here's where I get into something odd; I honestly don't think I need it in any of my decks. I do run a deck that have each of its symbols (the things that let you play it in the first place), but most of the time, I feel like its ability never helps me that much. In fact, I'm using abilities more than once per turn (Morrigan, Sakura, and Ken are the decks I'm talking about, in case you'd like to know), so It'd stop me more often than it'd help.

Now, the other option I have is to make a deck based around it. Ukyo is the idea I have in mind, but I'm not even sure if it works at this point, but I really don't feel like making that sort of deck, because it looks like a bitch to make.

Now, I do see that this card stops lots of degenerate crap, but I just don't see it fit with the kind of decks I like to make. And with lots of people jumping through lots of hoops (especially if they're made of money), I feel really weird putting it in my binder instead of in any of my decks. I'm just not sure I've found this card's strength, or at least where it benefits me.

So I ask the question again: Does this mean I suck? Do you have any suggestions on what to do with it? Because if you do, I'd love to hear them. Give me your thoughts in the form of comments, and maybe I can put this thing in a plastic sleeve someday.

Peace.

To those whom it may concern...

So now I've finally started a blog. This will mostly be about video games and the like,and I will post here about subjects that interest me, as well as give my thoughts on games that I play. REVIEW is not the term I'd give it, as I'll likely not attach a score, more of a preview...of a game that's out...but opinionated...um...there you go.

I'd also like to introduce you all to UFS, a card game I love to play. (Sell me on this, Suriel, you pale mexican bastard you!) Premis: It's a card game that plays like a fighting game. (wah? How can something like Magic the Gathering be as fast-paced as Street Fighter!? I call shenanigans!) Good point, but it really does. In games Like M:TG and Yu-gi-oh!(which I hope to never have to type again) UFS(Universal Fighting System) is very fast paced, with high level competion matches ending as early as turns 2-3, and turns don't last that long. Obviously there are stall decks like in any other card game, but you get the idea. I'm not great at explaining things, so hop over to the official site and get started (Don't be intimated by the unfamiliar characters: I can guarantee you, the game has the Street fighter, Soulcalibur, King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown, and Darkstalkers liscences attached to it, I swear). Fantasy Flight Games also has some damn good PR guys, and they'd love to help you out. Speaking of which the forum community is small, which means less idiots, and most people on there grasp the concept of accountability, and will help you out.

So, that's it for now, will do some more stuff later.

Take care.
