I has no time.

So, these were supposed to be going up over the past few weeks, but sadly I was foiled by the Save and Publish buttons so I am condensing them into one large post.

So I got back on sunday and within 48 hours had had two MAJOR VS sessions including one new recruit. Good times.

So in a fortnight we have a Golden Age Insanity tournement, but the Insanity keyword is being switched off. Banned list DOES NOT APPLY.

So I am a little stuck for ideas as to what to build. So far I have:

Doom/Inhumans
  1. Haywire, Suicidal Lover
  2. Lockjaw, Inhumans Best Friend
  3. Amadeus Arkham, Insance Architect
  4. Alpha Primitives, Army
  5. Boris, Personal Servant of Dr. Doom
  6. Doctor Sun, Creator of Project: Mind
  7. Crime Doctor, Bradford Thorne
  8. San,The Alienated One
  9. Poison Ivy, Deadly Rose
  10. Black Cat, Nine Lives
  11. Rama-Tut, Pharaoh from the 30th Century
  12. The Joker, Out of His Mind
  13. Crystal, Elementelle
  14. Dr. Doom, Richards Rival
  15. Technarx, Cyborg General
  16. Iron Man, Illuminati
  17. Pacifier Robot, Army
  18. Human Torch, Sparky
  19. Triton, Aquatic Ambassador
  20. Samantha Parrington <> Valkrie, Chooser of The Slain
  21. Dr. Doom, Diabolical Genius
  22. Divinity, Vampiric General
  23. Titania, Mary MacPherran
  24. Talia, Daughter of Madness
  25. Karnak, The Shatterer
  26. Dr. Doom, Power-Hungry
  27. Kang, Non-Unique * Destiny Warrior
  28. Dreadnought Tank, Arsenal of Doom
  29. Dr. Doom, Victor Von Doom
  30. Quicksilver, Terrigenesis Rebirth
  31. Madeline Pryor, Goblyn Queen
  32. Holocaust, Nemesis
  33. Invisible Woman, Flame On!
  34. Sub-Mariner, Ally of Doom
  35. Black Bolt, Devastating Decree
  1. Reality Gem
  2. Mind Gem
  3. Ego Gem
  4. Power Gem
  1. Attilan
  2. New Baxter Building
  3. Doomstadt
  4. Doomstadt, Castle Doom
  5. Latverian Embassy
  6. Great Refuge
  7. Construction Site
  8. Blue Area of the Moon
  1. Enemy of My Enemy
  2. Call In a favour
  3. Pathetic Attempt
  4. Omnipotence
  5. Savage Beatdown
  6. For the Glory of Doom!, Team-Up
  7. Extended Family, Team-Up
  8. It’s Slobberin’ Time!
  9. The Outside World
  10. Time Thief
  11. Exploiting the Flaw
  12. Slaughter Swamp
  13. Avalon Space Station
My plan with this deck is similar to my silver insanity deck of using the first 3 turns to get Attilan online and then search for any card I need at any given moment. My silver version has been working absolutely amazingly, so I am thinking that this one should do just as good. I am figuring that Time Thief is going to be fantastic in this format as picking and nuking up to two (Siphon Energy) very important cards, Amulet of Nabu/Reign of Terror/Birthing Chamber/Characters.
Brotherhood/Syndicate Rush
No Build Yet
Using the 4 or less resources theme of B’hood and the SinSyn, and the large characters from SinSyn/B’hood combined with the Contract could help to kill early, real early.
Infinity Gauntlet
  1. Mr. Mxyzptlk, Troublesome Trickster
  2. Ape X, Xina
  3. Harvey Bullock, Bishop
  4. Jaime Reyes <> Blue Beetle, High-Tech Hero
  5. Ted Kord <> Blue Beetle, Heir of the Scarab
  6. Amadeus Arkham, Architect of Insanity
  7. Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards
  8. Pip the Troll, Protector of the Space Gem
  9. San, The Alienated One
  10. Poison Ivy, Deadly Rose
  11. Kate Corrigan, Folklore Consultant
  12. Sidney Leach, Human Metal Detector
  13. Black Cat, Nine Lives
  14. Dr. Sivana, Mad Scientist
  15. Black Panther, King of Wakanda
  16. Beast, Feline Geneticist
  17. Barbara Gordon <> Oracle, Hacker Elite
  18. Quentino, Raul Quentino
  19. Dark Firestorm, Mockery
  20. The Creeper, Jack Ryder
  21. Vic Stone <> Cyborg, Human Machine
  22. Kang, Non-Unique * Master of Time
  23. Moondragon, Protector of the Mind Gem
  24. Punisher, Guns Blazing
  25. Darkseid, Apokoliptian Oppressor
  26. John Henry Irons <> Steel, Steel-Drivin’ Man
  27. Lex Luthor, Metropolis Mogul

  5. Enemy of My Enemy
  6. Millenium

  8. Finishing Move
  9. Death Trap
  10. Flying Kick

  4. Time Gem
  5. Reality Gem
  6. Power Gem
  7. Soul Gem
  8. Infinity Gauntlet
  9. War Wagon
  10. Steel Girder
Of course the deck is completely oriented towards the Gauntlet with the other characters trying to support the KOing of the newly stunned characters, still allowing for the other characters to attack.

  1. Haywire, Suicidal Lover
  2. Bumblebee, Sonic Sting

The idea is to go nutz with the curve recovery effects attempting to go nuts with the board presence. Hopefully I would be able to go nuts with the stalling a little bit if they have lots of KO effects, as I will be expecting various KO decks at least one Marvel Knights KO deck.
So, these are my current thoughts I am not entirely sure what to put in the SinSyn/B’hood build buyt I have almost just under a week to figure it out with a week to test.
