8p Terminator Escalating (no preference on sequential/freestyle) Sunny on Battle for Iraq
6p Terminator No Cards Sequential Sunny on Arms Race
8p Assassin Freestyle Escalating Sunny on King of the Mountains

In general, my favorite games are Terminator Escalating, as I tend to do what I term Pure Termination (I eliminate everybody).

So, how is that different than playing standard?

You can have someone else eliminate 6 of the people and eliminate the 7th and you get all the points in Standard. Terminator it's not that easy or providential.

Any maps in particular? Or esoteric combos? Saying that you like 6p and 2v2 chained no cards isn't exactly going way out on a limb. ;)
