Crouched at the starting line!

Welcome to my inaugural edition of Just grazing. From here on out I will be chewing the cud on the card game  called VS. Hopefully with 10% less alliteration.

 The plan is to, during the week, keep you up to date on everything VS I can think of.  I may be posting on the weekends but for the most part, tune in Monday through Friday.  I will be having a deck of the week, maybe more depending on what I see that comes up, Set reviews (I may start w/ DCL and work my way forward) when something nice and new comes out, and all the random musings you can handle (For instance, don’t you think VS is like a Banana split?). With that all being said lets get right into today’s meat!

 Banana Split (Ya, my first random musing)

MUSING START

One of the reasons a banana split tastes SO good is that there are so many flavors that you don’t get bored. 3 different scoops of ice cream, bananas, fudge, nuts  and a cherry on top. VS is a lot like that banana split.  The core of the enjoyment for many players is the game its self (I bet you didn’t think you would be receiving such shocking revelations from mere mortal man today did you?). Built to be a strategic game, it still captures our youthful vigor when we see our Comic book heroes and villains duking it out! This is the reason that the game is the ice cream. For some the intricate interactions and crazed card combos are what they play for, for others just seeing Super Man attack into Darksied is joy enough. See, like a Banana split, not everybody likes the same 3 scoops.

So at the base we have ice cream, which is the Game itself. The next thing you need is a Banana. Oddly enough Bananas are the one thing about VS you have little control over. They are the guys sitting across the table. I am newer to the game (Thanks MVL) but I have heard that there was a time when VS had a bad name because its players  could be rude and elitist. Fortunately there has been a drastic change. However much like in real life, if you don’t like Bananas, or the people you play with, you don’t order a banana split. You go and have its predecessor orange sherbet. But guess what… NOTHING beats a Banana split.

 As for the rest of the Split, it is just toppings scattered to desire.  Each time you order it, it tastes a bit different. Even if you grow tired of the sweets for a little while, you will be back. Even after you have a belly ache from the Mega weekend, next HL you think about attending and grabbing just 1 or 2 scoops.

Whew! first musing out of the way.

MUSING FINISH

 I will be adding helpful road signs like the one above for those with short attention spans. (like me!)
