I’m part of the judge staff at Dragon*Con this year, and I might be called upon to play a bye round in the event of uneven pairings.

Here’s what I’d play in the 400-point “Dragon of Dragon*Con” tournament:

Black Rider 100
One of the Nine 100
Ringwraith 100
Servant of Sauron 100
= 400 points, plus the “dragon” Sauron himself!

I’m part of the judge staff at Dragon*Con this year, and I might be called upon to play a bye round in the event of uneven pairings.

Here’s what I’d play around 9 AM in the 400-point modern Age named keyword tournament:

Vision (Chaos War 100) 185
Giant-Man (Chaos War) 75
Hawkeye (Avengers Movie 208) 65
Sharon Carter 45
Mockingbird 25
+ X-Kryptonite 5
= 400 points, plus all four sideline Morph pieces for Pym.

As I said Thursday, I’m part of the judge staff at Dragon*Con this year, and I might be called upon to play a bye round in the event of uneven pairings.

Here’s what I’d play around 6 PM in the 500-point Star Trek tournament:

U.S.S. Defiant 100
U.S.S. Excelsior 150
U.S.S. Hood 100
U.S.S. Enterprise-A 75
U.S.S. Equinox 75
= 500 points. The rules require either all-Federation or all Klingon, and I’ve played all my I.K.S. ships. So it’s the Feds’ turn!

I’m part of the judge staff at Dragon*Con this year, and I might be called upon to play a bye round in the event of uneven pairings. I’ve pre-posted my potential teams for each event for your vicarious weekend reading pleasure.

Here’s one of the GREAT teams I’d play in the 1 PM 300-point Golden Age tournament:

THE GREAT TEN

August General In Iron 100
Ghost Fox Killer 68
Accomplished Perfect Physician 51
Seven Deadly Brothers 30
Seven Deadly Brothers 30
+ Yellow Lantern 5
+ Indigo Lantern 5
= 299 points. BFCs: Alpha Strike, Ordinary Day, Disbanded

-OR-

GREAT LAKES AVENGERS

Deadpool (Web of Spider-Man) 158
Squirrel Girl 59
Doorman 45
Dinah Soar 25
+ Great Lakes Avengers ATA 12
= 299 points. BFCs: Ordinary Day, Armor Wars, Infiltration. Plenty of F.U.N. factor, here.

There’s also the “Court of Owls” game at 600 points at the same 1 PM time. Here’s my team:

The Dark Knight (Collateral Damage) 100
Batman (Fast Forces) 100
Batman (Crisis) 90
The Bat-Man (Superman) 81
Batman (DC 75) 77
Batman (Dark Knight Rises 201) 75
Batman (Arkham Asylum) 64
+ Yellow Lantern 5
+ Red Lantern 5
=597 points. It’s actually a “highlander-friendly” Batman team, with each being a different character: “The Dark Knight Returns'”over-the-hill Bruce Wayne, New 52 Wayne, Jean-Paul Valley, Thomas Wayne, Dick Grayson, movie Bruce Wayne, and Terry McGinnis.

As I said Thursday, I’m part of the judge staff at Dragon*Con this year, and I might be called upon to play a bye round in the event of uneven pairings.

Here’s what I’d play in the 9 AM 600-point Modern Age tournament:

AQUAMAN & FAM

Aquaman (Superman) 156 + Flashpoint ATA 4
Aquaman (Justice League) 111
Aquaman (DC 75th Anniversary) 106
Aquaman (Brightest Day) 105
Ocean Master 65
Mera (Justice League) 51
= 598 points. F: It’s AQUAMAN. How beast could it be? U: Pretty tough, actually. Enough to threaten many teams at the cost and one that actually benefits a bit from certain characters taking the KO. N: Atlantis teams are one of my favorite things to play in this game, and it’s been too long since the last one.

There’s also the “Other Age” game at 500 points at the same 9 AM time. Here’s my team:

General RAAM 151
Dee Jay 75
Aragorn 75
Master Chief & Cortana 150
Lt. Hikaru Sulu 40
=491 points. I figure all the “other” ages ought to be represented on the team! Unfortunately, barring a last-moment ruling, the Star Trek Away Team won’t be allowed as it came too late to be included in the tournament rules setup. And I haven’t gotten mine yet, anyway.
