My next opponent is Proposition Joe.
Captain Cuba.
His sets were MXM and MTU
I'm not sure what he is running, but so far this event, it was players not knowing what i had coming either. So fairplay, I suppose.

Even with my low end RFP numbers, Thor burns for 13, then 13, then 14, then 15 as i keep re-substituting Lady Deathstrike to ready Thor, inherently helping to contribute to his burn amounts.
I then pass build.

We both pass to recovery. He hit hard, but not hard enough.
-34 to -57
I win 2-0!
Afterwards Joe and I shot the breeze for a good hour or so regarding our fanboy decks and past Jank decks that went to PC's. Printing proxy full-arts and legacy decks from back in the day! It was super nice to hear some of the old tales. The origins of Anti-Matter pre Chomin was super interesting! I can't wait to bend your ear again in the future! Can't ask for better than a classy opponent.
Current record:
W - Hulk variant 2-0
W - Skrulls 2-0
W - Toolbox Stall 2-0
W - Hellfire Club 2-0
