Still not happy with the decks name.
Mano a Mano was also a possibility

With the ‘coverage’ of the California Mega-weekend finished we have a new look to the Silver Age meta. How will that affect things over here in Ol’ Blighty. Well, not at all really.
The Biz, and by that I mean Bizarro and not Simon Bisley, was the new top dog. However in the upcoming SA London City Champs there is a general consensus from all taking part that any one playing a ‘fate suite multiple attack’ deck, or a Bizarro abuse deck will probably receive a quick kick to the nads (thats testicles for those not in the know).

Prior to owning a comic shop with my wife, I spent numerous years running pubs and pub/restaurants. As a ‘chef’ it is a pre-requisite that you have a ’signature dish’, something that sums up your outlook on food and displays your culinary skills.
