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
- Haywire, Suicidal Lover
- Lockjaw, Inhumans Best Friend
- Amadeus Arkham, Insance Architect
- Alpha Primitives, Army
- Boris, Personal Servant of Dr. Doom
- Doctor Sun, Creator of Project: Mind
- Crime Doctor, Bradford Thorne
- San,The Alienated One
- Poison Ivy, Deadly Rose
- Black Cat, Nine Lives
- Rama-Tut, Pharaoh from the 30th Century
- The Joker, Out of His Mind
- Crystal, Elementelle
- Dr. Doom, Richards Rival
- Technarx, Cyborg General
- Iron Man, Illuminati
- Pacifier Robot, Army
- Human Torch, Sparky
- Triton, Aquatic Ambassador
- Samantha Parrington <> Valkrie, Chooser of The Slain
- Dr. Doom, Diabolical Genius
- Divinity, Vampiric General
- Titania, Mary MacPherran
- Talia, Daughter of Madness
- Karnak, The Shatterer
- Dr. Doom, Power-Hungry
- Kang, Non-Unique * Destiny Warrior
- Dreadnought Tank, Arsenal of Doom
- Dr. Doom, Victor Von Doom
- Quicksilver, Terrigenesis Rebirth
- Madeline Pryor, Goblyn Queen
- Holocaust, Nemesis
- Invisible Woman, Flame On!
- Sub-Mariner, Ally of Doom
- Black Bolt, Devastating Decree
- Reality Gem
- Mind Gem
- Ego Gem
- Power Gem
- Attilan
- New Baxter Building
- Doomstadt
- Doomstadt, Castle Doom
- Latverian Embassy
- Great Refuge
- Construction Site
- Blue Area of the Moon
- Enemy of My Enemy
- Call In a favour
- Pathetic Attempt
- Omnipotence
- Savage Beatdown

- Extended Family, Team-Up
- It’s Slobberin’ Time!
- The Outside World
- Time Thief
- Exploiting the Flaw
- Slaughter Swamp
- 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

- Ape X, Xina
- Harvey Bullock, Bishop
- Jaime Reyes <> Blue Beetle, High-Tech Hero
- Ted Kord <> Blue Beetle, Heir of the Scarab

- Kang, Non-Unique * Master of Time
- Moondragon, Protector of the Mind Gem
- Punisher, Guns Blazing
- Darkseid, Apokoliptian Oppressor
- John Henry Irons <> Steel, Steel-Drivin’ Man
- Lex Luthor, Metropolis Mogul

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.

So, I was looking through my box of X-Men for a Destiny, Future Sight when I recognised a few B’hood cards that burn my opponent directly when I got to thinking whether I could make High Voltage Insane, but it ended up changing quite a fair bit.

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.
