Answering the call: Plagued!

It is somehow appropriate that as I worked on this concept I’ve suddenly become sick.

Yep.

Sick over Christmas break. Karma is a ***** sometimes, isn’t it?

So more and more the direction i took in this challenge, was manipulating an opponents ability to retain its board. Obviously, through use of plague counters, but also through the sheer awesomeness of bane, ubu and the original lazarus pit. Sure there’s a subtle theme around hoarding those locations for a potential Merlyn activation or a Nyssa kill, but for the most part its about simply taking advantage of whatever options you happen to draw into.

Answering the Call: Check out my huge Thing!

Here I sit, laughing in my evil villian laugh in the den. Hot woman by my side, and silent movies playing in the background.

MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Seriously! Gotta love them silent movies.

oh yeah. and my earliest Thing?

Turn 3.

That’s right, on turn three I shocked and amazed when I ripped out my big honkin Thing on turn 3. And let me tell you, that’s something to witness folks.

Answering the Call: The 4 Horsemen

Well, outside of an imaginative team-up, the Horsemen are not the deepest team to run. The trick to their effectiveness are their insanity calibre effects for a potential sick payoff.

Now, in an effort to guarantee a higher measure of scoring, say an 8 drop Apocalypse on turn 6, I’d be inclined to look at Gotham Knights, or Doc Strange legend support, but being limited to one team nerfs that. However, even if we assume no “free” Apoc, the deck delivers some pretty fun beats and signifigant field manipulation.

Lets get to it shall we?

Answering the Call: X-Factor

Continuing with the introduction of nifty little head icons, Aaron “Onyxweapon” Mead has decided he wants to get in touch with his dark side… going forward, you can expect Aaron’s posts to feature Darkseid’s ugly mug.

This week we started a series of challenges, seeing what Aaron can come up with that reeks of niftiness for the new affiliations from Marvel Evolution. This week, X-Factor.

Okay first thing? I hate kidney stones. So, I apologize for the lateness of this. At first, I hated X-Factor because I couldn’t tell what the team was trying to do but after sitting down and playing them for a week, they may possibly be one of the most powerful teams in this set. And what makes them so good you ask?

RESET.

So I submit to you:
