'Twas the Fight Before Christmas


As a gift to each of you, I have made this ode to Night Before Christmas. If that's not enough of a gift (ya greedy little elves!), there's a contest below for a hero pack!

 

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through my decks

Not a creature was stirring, not even T-Rex;

The cards were all sorted from front to the back,

divided so neatly by new Tesseracts.


The heroes were nestled all snug in their sleeves,

While Vision and Shadowcat phased through their dreams.

My cards were all ready and my playmat the same,

So I settled on in for another quick game.


First I pulled out my phone to see all the chatter.

I opened up discord to see what was the matter.

I scrolled past the messages of fixes for Hulk

and questions of when the next article posts.


Discord was quiet this holiday night,

so I pulled up Cerebro to choose me a fight.

When what from the randomizer should appear,

But Ronan with Mystique and, of course, Goblin Gear.


With a dastardly villain and no hope for change,

I knew in a moment it was time for Strange.

More rapid than eagles I pulled out his kit,

Then saw blue and gray as I chose Leadership.


Now Fury! Now, Kaluu! Now Hill and Professor!

In, Panther! In Stinger! In, Beast and White Tiger!

Grab Rapid Response, Regroup, Make the Call!

Now recur cards! Recur cards! Recur them all! 


As I looked at my deck, I thought “Oh of course!”

Then added to it every double resource.

The Mystic locked cards were added on top.

Then Triskelion and Call for Backup. 


And then, in a twinkling, with my deck looking grand

The scenario started, and I drew up my hand.

As I mulliganed away the cards that were unwanted,

I drew up again, certainly feeling quite daunted. 


He was dressed in his armor, his hammer in grip,

A hazard icon sitting right on his ship.

A side scheme he pulled from the deck on Stage II,

A crisis icon limiting what I could do.


With a hand full of cards and Rings of Raggadorr,

I flipped up to hero to fight the Accuser.

Allies were played, Invocations resolved.

The puzzle of using each resource was solved.


But soon my turn ended, and I gritted my teeth.

Apparently Bands was still underneath.

Without any stun or confuse to give aid,

the villain phase started much to my dismay.


The threat it increased. The amount was absurd.

The main scheme was already ready to burst.

The villain activation was up ahead,

and I knew right away I had everything to dread.


He wasted no time, but went straight to his work,

attacking with two boost cards like a jerk.

Then dealing encounter cards, oh what a bother.

Surprise! Fanaticism; forced to surge to another. 


I drew Advanced Glider then, of course, was accused.

I wish I could say I was left only bruised.

I said as I scooped the few cards from the fight,

What was even the point? I’ll call it a night.


No Marvel Champions players were hurt in the creation of this rhyme.
