This week has been very interesting.

Shield, so far from the few cards we have seen are not messing about. Powerlevel is high. The true extent of their power we cannot know yet, but from what we have seen we have reason to be excited.

My brother in Jank, Soshi Kenpachi came up with a work of True Beauty. The League of Extraorinary Wood Rats.

Tek Upgrade:

Turn 1 Squirrel Girl+SHIELD Agent. She swings, they’ve lost 3 Endurance. Turn 2: 2 Novice Assassins, flip the Multiverse. A Crackshot from the resource row lets your SHIELD agent take down their 2 drop, and 4 goes to your opponent’s face(7 total lost) Turn 3: Nick drops in, played by himself, not David Hasselhoff. He puts two more assassins into play. A crackshot on squirrel girl takes down their 3 drop. 4 assassins swing in for 16 Damage.(23 Total Lost without adding in stun damage) Turn 4: However you pull it off, 4 assassins drop. 3 take out their 4 drop, Nick takes their 3 out, and you swing to 25 to the face. That’s game. And you only ever had 5 ATK printed on the board.

Now, as he says draw power is where it all lies.

In silver this is easily accomplished. I know Rian Fike is wanting to make it modern legal, for worlds. This is where the predicament lies.

For draw power I would suggest two main cards. Birthing Chamber (du’h), and Genosha.

Wait. What?

Correct, Genosha. I have been playing around with it in my Novice Assasins Go! deck, and for turn 5 it is a nice play. Sack a resource to potentially get the characters you need or some more Teen Titans Go!

I have already twisted a few builds for League of Extraordinary Wood Rats, and this is the one I am currently going with.

3x Lazarus Pit, Non-Unique * Death’s Door
2x Mountain Stronghold, Non-Unique
1x Metropolis Reborn, Non-Unique * Team-Up
3x Truth and Justice, Team-Up
1x Espionage, Non-Unique
3x Helicarrier
3x Genosha
4x Birthing Chamber
2x The Demon’s Head
4x Finishing Move

16x Novice Assassins
8x SHIELD Agents
4x Squirrel Girl
4x Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD

Not amazing. But a decent shell. I am very, very very excite about MUN. 2 Boxes preordered, which is turning out to be a better investment the more I think about it.
