I am a Raw Deal Legend
WARNING: Raw Deal related post!!!
_____________________________________________
Ok, you've been warned. Thing is, I did some playtesting this past Sunday at a friend's house in Waycross... I used the Roddy Piper deck that I won Dragon*Con with (only swapping out a mid-match card) and RAN HOUSE on everyone... Piper did not lose a match, in fact, did not even come close.
It's cool that with a new set out and legal (12 new superstars, 170 card set) that the Piper deck I created can still hang with the new stuff.
On another note, I'll be working on Andre the Giant this week... for those of you (Hathaway, possibly Homeless) that have been out of the loop for awhile, here's Andre's stats and card set... (he's a beast!)

Also, any of you who would like to play some games (or learn to play Raw Deal) feel free to contact me, as I have plenty of extras, and lots of the newer stuff I can hook you up with. I'd like to revive Raw Deal here in Valdosta, as it's pretty much died since I closed the store down.
Later all...
