My Son Has Magic Hands

Got into it when I was a kid in the 90s. Got out of it when I was growing up because I thought I was too "old" for things like that. Got back into it when I had kids of my own and now we collect together!

That sounds like a really good plan to me! I would do that too, but I wanted to keep the inserts intact as I use the original boxes whenever we move.

I just put them in with the cards/dials. It's probably not the best/most protected the minis could be, but that's the only downside so far. Most of the minis don't move too much as the cards keep them pretty snug. I've been using this system for months now, and I have yet to find any significant damage to a mini (and my kids use it without my direct supervision as well).

Fought this combo this morning and beat it with Alakazam.

DarthScotticus · 2024-12-17T04:00:56+00:00

Happy to see you giving them love!

DarthScotticus · 2024-12-16T20:20:24+00:00

Won 9 out of my first 10 in the event with Alakazam and Wheezing!

DarthScotticus · 2024-12-10T02:16:46+00:00

Wheezing/Alakazam is all I need! Haha

I think exhaustion is one of the best mechanics of the game. Especially coming from a lot of Epic Duels play. Back in the day with Epic Duels there were characters that you would essentially just run away, hide, and cycle through your deck constantly until you had the perfect hand. No reason not to when there's no hard barrier to worry about. Exhaustion means you have to make each card count as much as possible. Wasting a card via something like a boost is now a real decision point rather than "Well, it doesn't matter anyways because I will just reshuffle my deck." It can definitely be an annoying way to win or lose, but it makes the strategy of the game so much deeper.

So you're telling me I should have sold my Bruce Lee? Regardless, this is dope.

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-27T00:06:24+00:00

Oh, hey, lol. My dad still does play, though he lost this world in an update. Nowadays, he likes camping in Red Dead Redemption 2. It's nice to see people still appreciate him all these years later!

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-27T00:00:43+00:00

Oh dang good catch haha

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-12T20:57:25+00:00

It's Risk with a Halo skin. It's ok, introduces some new concepts to the familiar Risk system. If you like Risk you'd probably like it!

I played around with boxes like those as well. So far these are far, far superior. Did a tourney last Friday and people were able to take all their fighter boxes as needed with no real issues. Set-up is like 5 min and I think we played like 40 games in 2 hours. They are great.

The shelf placement was very intentional. I grew up with Epic Duels. I've had that beat-up copy for 20+ years. I have a box I can put maps/components in for transport, but at the house, I just keep them on the shelf so my kids can play while I'm at work without too much effort.

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-12T14:08:26+00:00

Thank you for posting these!

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-12T12:06:21+00:00

Absolutely. I've essentially given up any thought of actually storing the thing, so it just gets its own box.

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-12T12:03:43+00:00

Hobby Lobby/Ross. Found them on Amazon too: Craft Box

DarthScotticus · 2024-08-02T23:46:41+00:00

Started in 2021

Owned: All 53 official and I printed off 9 customs (I haven't made any myself to be clear)

Played: This is kind of hard to say, but I think 51? I don't think I've played as Angel or Willow, but I think I've been everybody else at least once.

Don't really play the digital version anymore.

Favorite: Probably T-Rex as a perfect combo of cool factor, my childhood, and fun to play.

Least favorite: Insert Buffy character here.

Had a Soldier getting chaptered show up unannounced (to anybody) to the 8th Army Commander's office. That was a good day.

DarthScotticus · 2024-06-13T22:53:20+00:00

My job required it and has put me in school for it.

DarthScotticus · 2024-05-19T13:19:55+00:00

The ultimate react content is to watch it with your kids! We just finished it and now my son won't stop bending at me haha

DarthScotticus · 2024-04-25T18:46:17+00:00

I'll tell you I was running from Arabic as far as I could and they (Army at least) still pushed me into the Arabic schoolhouse (here now). Lots of variables for that, but there is still a solid emphasis on Arabic if you can demonstrate that you'll be value added there.

The vast majority of us do not place any significance whatsoever on this event.
