So this past weekend I was able to participate in my first Call of Cthulhu tournament, at the Fantasy Flight games center store championship. I wasn't expecting to win since have only been playing a few months, but I was just looking forward to playing against people in person, and not just online. We ended up having 10 people participate, which although isn't amazing, was enough to have four rounds and a cut to the top four, so would at the very least get four games and was excited and ready to go.

Welcome to my second article of the amazing game, Call of Cthulhu. Sorry about the longer then normal gap from last article, with finals and then Christmas week life was little busy, but back to the stuff that matters. This series is aimed towards players that are new to the game or not even currently playing but have a small itch to try it. Last article I went over a few things that make the game great, this time I am going to go more in depth on one of those aspects and that is the combat in Call of Cthulhu.

In this article we’re taking a look at a Faction combination rarely seen around the gaming tables, and exploring exactly what the Silver Twilight and Hastur can offer in terms of synergy and function. Although it may not be possible for this mix to take on the meta decks, I’m sure you can have a lot of fun with them, and hopefully we may see a bit more of them around in the future.

Welcome to another week of Pacta Arcana, this week we take a look at a style of deck that the recent FAQ really affected and try to make something new from the ashes of the old.
Yuletide is soon upon us and what better factions to mix than the Christmas colours of Shub-Niggurath's red and the Silver Twilight? While the Lodge gather for midvinterblot their allies the cultists of Shub-Niggurath prepare the summoning of the Thousand young and the great Y'golonac. Thus the celebration of Allmother's Eve will soon be upon the world!

Welcome to the Dance of the Dead, where I’ll be showcasing a deck that tries to encourage a good time for all, even if it means the revelry leads to an early grave! It is a deck that focuses on a Conspiracy to be found in the new Terror in Venice boxed set, and attempts to make use of it in a way that may not be immediately apparent. So join with me in the splendor of Unending Festivities.
