So we had a sealed tourney for Fin Fang Foom. The rules were that you could pick any two Marvel boosters which mainly meant Avengers or Secret Invasion as that's mostly what the venue had. I believe there were some Mutant Mayhem but I don't think anyone opted to use them. I figured that with Secret Invasion you had more options for some filler pieces like Power Pack and also a better shot at pulling a large brick type of figure. I was right as alot of other players opted for 2 Secret Invasion and all around me I saw Dr. Drooms, Super Skrull Avengers, Sentrys, Hercules, Namors, etc. But I failed to pull any piece over 75 points. So I looked at what I had and I had a decent swarm. I used Lightspeed to carry around Spider-Man. I then had Hawkeye for running shot. I then had two outwits in Dr. Octopus and Dum Dum Dugan. Finally I rounded it out with the Moloid as a tie up piece. All three games were played on the bank map.

First round I played Rich. This was Rich's first tournament as he recently started buying Heroclix. He was playing Skrull Ms. Marvel and Super Skrull X-Men. I got some early shots on SSXM while Ms. Marvel moved up to kill what she should one-shot which meant Lightspeed was the first to fall. Next turn, with her pushed, I based her with Spidey. She cleared and then I pushed Spidey to flurry her, hitting both attacks. After that it was a matter of getting what shots I could on them and eventually they both died. 1-0

Second round I played Matt. Matt was using Dr. Doom and Stature. We started by moving up and positioning. I then pushed Lightspeed to base both Doom and Stature and position Spidey next to Stature. I outwitted Doom's phasing so that I could line up a series of shots on him next round. Stature hit Lightspeed with an object to killer her and Doom ran away. Next turn Spidey hit Stature and Dum Dum finished her off. After that it was chasing after Doom. I managed to get my shots on him, but my dice failed me and I wasn't able to hit him at all. I tried to keep Doom tied up so that I could shoot with Hawkeye and Dum Dum, but he managed to get Spidey, Doc Ock, and Moloid. Had my dice been working it might have been different, but rolling 3s and 4s when you need 7s and 8s won't win you the game. 1-1

So, with a total of 14 people in the tourney, my loss knocked me out for Fin Fang Foom. But I figured I'd finish it out. My last game was against Jeremy. He was playing Molecule Man, Spider-Man, Human Elektra, and Atlantean Warrior. I managed to swarm Molecule Man early, but after a flurry from Spider-Man, I knocked him onto his 19 def click. I managed to eventually get him but it took a few shots. After that, it was a matter of whittling down Human Elektra and then Spider-Man and the Atlantean Warrior. He managed to get the Moloid and Hawkeye. 2-1

So overall it was fun. The Dr. Doom player from the second round went on to play Sentry, Spider-Girl, and another figure in the finals. The range ended up winning it for Doom.
