In many cases, CCGers are finding bargains on booster boxes and taking a chance on Vs. I'd love to stick a post up that new players can go to to read up on how to play/basic strategies/cool articles/how to set up MWS/a history of the game/etc. What do you think would be helpful to new players? Post links when possible (and thanks in advance for your help).

And then there's all of the Metagame articles, which are hard to get to as of right now, but are gold once you get to them.

I did a quick search for "Metagame + Darkseid" and "Metagame + Superman" and while I got google results, all the links were dead. So maybe it's gone already...

Check out the event coverage archives at Metagame.com. The main site is no longer up, but you can "sneak" into the Event coverage page: http://www.metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=53 The 2004-2005 tournaments will have lists for all of the decks that you're looking for. Good ol Bigspooky. He posted this last month in a thread regarding oldschool decklists. Hope it still works. I can't tell cause it blocked at work.

Says the address could not be found. Damn, I was hoping someone could get their hands on the articles before it was too late.

Senior Member Posts: 542 Group: Senior Member Member #7,604 Joined: February 3, 2009	Just checked with Bigspooky and OSM is right. Metagame is down for good. He did however suggest the articles and coverage over at www.vssystem.com as a good place as well. I'm not sure if this would help out new players as much but there is lots of content available for anyone willing to take the time to search and read through it.

I still have all the articles I wrote for those two sites and would happily share them ... it's just that my articles were more flavour oriented and probably not of that much interest. Would other writers a) still have their articles and b) be happy to share them on this new website in some way? Just a thought.

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Member Member #7,928 Joined: July 30, 2009	As a returning player, I'd like a site that had an update of what's going in the game right now. Like what the top decks are and how they work (it usually isn't too hard to figure out, but newer players may not know).
