This card makes me very sad.

CM Punk: Lol, I like his ability, but I definitely did a palm-to-forehead when I read it.

Chavo Guerrero: Ah...another cerebral ability.  Me likes.

[BrysonYuzyk]

Shut up.

Or at least, save that for when Orton gets spoiled.

[TempestTenor]

God dammit did you guys make another crap-wave Orton like <R> Orton?  *stares daggers*

[Dark Knight Bob]

God dammit did you guys make another crap-wave Orton like <R> Orton?  *stares daggers*

I gurantee you, the second Orton is spoiled, you'll get the joke.

It will hit you like a freight train.

Does his ability involve balls...?

A serious question now.  For reference, here's "I Aims..."

Pre-match Feud
Your opponent reveals the top 3 cards of his Arsenal and randomly reveals cards from his Backlash until he reveals 3 Mid-match cards.  Return all non-Mid-match cards revealed to his Backlash.

Mr. Kennedy (Superstar Card)
Starting Hand Size: 6

The only precedent I can think of is 3MW, so I'll rephrase this to act without problem.  Cheers.

WTF Punk is broken!  How could that go un-playtested?!

How exactly is that anywhere near broken?  His Value is 3 so he cant underrate, his hand is only 5.

His Prematch says you have no hand. Punk plus 2 Technicalitys equals both men have one card in hand, or he pitches a card to search and fails to find says both men have no hand, he was two hidden Red and if he only packs 5 pre-match, he has ten manuevers he can throw from backlash. That's why people are saying he's "broken"

To be fair, you would need to have 4 non-Red cards in hand to work 2 Technicalities.

[thedemonkiller]

Man this is so good but i'm so not going to win the first torument or even come close to the top... but still it will be good to play...
That might be because (confessions of a killer) i've never actually gone to or played at or in a torument before, this is mostly because the england raw dela sence was starting to stop when i got into it (about 2 years ago) but hell it will be fun to play in one.. i'm really quite looking forward to it and can i say thanks in advance to Byson for doing this for people like me... so thanks dude..
Also i love punk, i would play as him but i'm sure i would botch it up beyoned belief.

Don't be so hard on yourself!

Play strong, and learn from others!  That's all you have to do!

And stay tuned...there may be a tournament announcement sooner than you think!

God dammit did you guys make another crap-wave Orton like <R> Orton?  *stares daggers*

Come on you know he'll get search for any move with headlock in the title, they are considered set:up and are unstoppable, and when you have 6 or more in the ring area you win the game via pinfall by way of boredom

Once per turn, you may discard two cards: Search your arsenal for up to 2 copies of Headlock, reveal them and add them to your hand, shuffle your arsenal.
