I was going to say “how did that work?”, and then I remembered that Athena was basically just one of Zeus’s headaches, so stranger things have happened.
Jakeb could father a child using just one of his pecs.
My game three deck went ballookey batshit before ddtibbs’s did, so I won the finals. He destroyed me utterly in game 1, came sooo close to an amazing ironcubbish win in game 2, and went all-in on mechana in game 3, but the board favored monsters and heroes, and they fell in swaths before my Axe and Orb and, ultimately, Cetra Ogo. Me and ddt are a great match for each other, I think. Seems like we always give each other what-for.
Now I’m thinking of Jakeb as an incarnation of Piston from Borderlands.
“How many pecs do you have? Two? I have THIRTEEN.”

prolix over ironcub for league bizness in a crazy game of Adayu v. Aaron! That one was a lot of fun.
prolix, that was a great game, not ironcubbish at all!
Much congrats Dave, I want you to know that I was totally rooting against you ;)

I bought Arha Senseis on each of the first two turns, and they led to a quick Mystic scale up, and then Aiyana and Big Emri. A points blizzard and a win weren’t too far behind, good game.

Tanto Cuore. Playdek game. One step toward Dominion from Penny Arcade. Not the worst game, but every card has those hollow eyed zombie girls on it.
So, existential horror, huh?

Congratulations Dave, nicely played matches. I thought I might pull it off, but to no avail.
Now to finish our delayed December…
I looked at the archives on the first page; this was Dave’s first league title in, like, forever! 4-time champ, did you have a curse you had to break like the Red Sox or something?
Since March 2011! But it’s not my fault that all you smart jerks joined up and clogged the playoff pipe. :)
You sure it’s not March 2012? :)
Just a reminder:
It is the time of year when we give gifts to one another
in the spirit of the first gifts that were brought to Miles,
child king of Ascension, who blissfully received them while
attended by his father Jakeb, the one who brought Miles into the
world without the help of a woman, whether lifebound or eternal.
Which gift will you give to Miles?
Will you bring him runes, so that he might surround
himself with Cetras and Askaras, who will teach him to
nourish the feminine seed within him?
Will you bring him power, so that he might resist the
tyrants and mephitis that threaten to tear him from the
ripped pecs of his father?
Or will you bring him honor, so that the hot white glow
of his hair will burn even so bright that the multiple eyes
of his foes will snap shut and their multiple mouths cry out?
If you would like to PM me the gift you will bring to Miles, I will accept your pledges
until Friday, December 20 at quarter to three late that morning. The gift (runes,
power, or honor) that is pledged by the fewest people will earn those people a half of
one point toward their final tally in the monthly league. Miles rewards those with a knack
for the rare!
When you send me your PM, please feel free to share your heart about your decision.
I reserve the right to expose your dreams and longings to everyone.

Good games all!
delirium over ironcub - I pulled out a narrow victory in a wild game 3 which included ironcub getting Aaron in round 1 and me pulling two Mileses off the board on a single turn and putting them in my hand to play.
Wild was one word for it, holy crap. Haha, our Round 1’s definitely set the tone, that was the first time I had 7 runes to start since my first game at Qt3 a year ago.
Your 2 Miles move was so damn slick though, you fought for that win for sure!
iron over tecwrtr for the Circle of Bananas, thanks for letting me play thru that one, it probably didnt hurt much because it was a dead rubber for us right? :)
