Remember: M > E, E > P, P > M Resistance pattern, where '>' notes what they're resistant to (M > E is Military Resistant to Economic)

So this is the second beta matche designed to test the highly experimental (we hear that a lot nowadays, huh?) and brand new NSTCG, brought to you by Jenrak, Tosmaldevo, with much help from Slaytesics, Milograd, and others. A lot of the stuff we're going to be doing today is demonstrations and matches to figure out how to play, who's playing, what's good and bad, how well or not-well (:\) it works. Without further ado, the first match for today is going to be against Jenrak and Milograd, with their respective blister-made decks. I will be Gamemastering this match, so I will be doing shuffles, coin flips, etc., etc., and setups. Without further ado, let's introduce the decks they're playing:
