I'm writing today's GCBC from my porch. I was in the kitchen, then I thought about how nice it was outside. This reminded me once on a Sunday, while watching football, I see my buddy going into the bathroom with his laptop. I said, "What are you doing?". To which he replied, "What does it look like? I'm taking a sh*t." Genius this guy I thought. This was an epiphany for me. Up until this point my brain hadn't adapted to wireless Internet yet. I was a free man now, free to surf the Internet while doing #2. God bless America! So instead of being in a warm kitchen sweating like a fat guy, I'm out enjoying the air on a nice, cool summer evening.
Two sets to go. Here's Energize. Things are starting to get foggy on me now. It's tough to remember the impact of the first expansion in 2E. I remember the first 2E Worlds, where I needed to win in the last round (No bracket that year, just a final confrontation) where I attempted, and my opponent got two to draw/spend. He had to stop one. I was playing Klingon and had a Relentless, so I thought I was golden. Back then, there wasn't much that could've stop me. Then my opponent play Chula: Pick One to Save Two and I became a sad, sad person.
Why: This card saw tons of play back in the day. TNG speed, with geology missions, was 80% of the decks in my meta back then. This dilemma would pretty much seal the deal on one attempt. Even today, I find myself dusting this baby off and finding it still works great. Hell, against Klingons sometimes you can use it as a wall. Unless they have that dirty bastard Duras hanging around....
Why: Still waiting on somebody to use this card in a tournament. Come on, somebody step up to the plate and do something with this card. Speaking of never played cards, at the Richmond Regional (also where Neil had that Duras) a kid played the Borg Diamond ship. I gave the kid some credit for being the first person I ever see use the ship..... then proceeding to beat him 100-0.
