Weekly 'Meet the Team' post #1: the myth, the legend, the resident zoomer, Phoenix!


1 - Who are you, what do you do here and how long have you been with the team here at the Valkyrie Games Store in Palmerston North?
Hey all, my name is Phoenix I am but a humble minimum wage worker here at Valkyrie games.๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ™ I mostly man the front desk and try my best to sell you all the โœจ๏ธstuffโœจ๏ธ I price alot of cards too, its probably my favorite job in the store to do. I've been working here on and off for roughly 5 or 6 years I think ๐Ÿค”
2 - What is your favourite board game?
I really enjoy Critter Kitchen. Its all about trying to get the best ingredients to cook a superb meal for a critic.๐Ÿœ I'm a super competitive person so, sabotaging other by trying to steal all the good ingredients is right up my ally.
3 - Whatโ€™s your favourite D&D class or build?
My all time favorite class will forever and always be a champion fighter โš”๏ธ๐Ÿ—ก I love playing someone who runs up to the monster and just wails on them every round of combat it's simple and fun.
4 - Who is your favourite commander in MTG?
Controversial but I really love Vorinclex Voice of Hunger. He is by far one of my favorite magic characters and I love him for the vibes. (he deserves all the hate tho its an evil card to bring to a game ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ™)
I also really like Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant ๐Ÿฆ–
5 - What games are you playing right now?
Currently I'm learning how to play kill team, it piqued my interest when we first got it in the store, I was even more excited to play when they brought out a tyranids box. I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on them first chance I get.๐Ÿ‘€
6 - What games do you wish you had more time for?
I have a looooong list of character ideas for dnd. I'm also really keen on getting some more pokemon under my belt. It's absolutely exploded in popularity. I'd like to try to build some decks around my favorite pokemon, like Quagsire or Snom.โ„๏ธ
7 - Whatโ€™s your go-to drink from the drinks fridge?
Original monster is peak. I Just can't get enough of that sweet sweet battery acid or if I'm feeling really fancy a mango loco will also suffice.
Thanks Queen, thanks for sharing that with us, very girlypop of you Phoenix!
