So, looking through some cards, I noticed that 4 is the cost of auto KOing/Bouncing characters.
Hush, Silent and Deadly
Divinity, Vampiric General
Punisher, Guns Blazing
Morg, Corrupt Destroyer
Silver Sable, World’s Deadliest Mercenary
Hush, Silent and Deadly
Of Course, this guy is hella easy to set up. All you have to do is go with the Non-Adjacent theme of arkham, and combine it with the exhaustion theme they had way back when, and you have yourself a lean mean KOing machine. Of course, this guy is a pain. I don’t play golden age, so this guy is kind of lame with the exhaustion theme that they had. So unless I was to go punks/legend/insanity, this guy is dead to me in silver. I know there are some reasonable team-up options for him in silver, Underworld, Hellfire Club but they just don’t interest me at all.
Divinity, Vampiric General
This chick is fantastic. An oversized 4 cost character that Auto-KOes? Sweet. Sadly, there is a but with her as she has to KO resources or characters to keep here around. So, should I choose to go with resources what are my options. I can stay with Doom, and just try to go nuts with 4 or less resources. I can go with Brotherhood and try to use the Next Brotherhood and Magneto to go nuts with the KOing of the characters. The Sinister Syndicate could also use her to their advantage with small amount of resources.
If I was to go with KOing characters, I could go with Secret Society, as they have numerous ways to get free characters, namely Deadshot and Ivy. Or, I could stick with Doom. Ultron will help me to fuel my KOing to the end of the game.
Punisher, Guns Blazing
I love this guy, but to be perfectly honest he is massively overplayed, and it annoys me to see how much he is played. So, I am going to give this guy a miss.
Morg, Corrupt Destroyer
Morg, isn’t actually as difficult to set up as I thought it would be. Between Silver Surfer/Pacification, getting the cosmic counters isn’t going to be that difficult. Kindred spirits/Mobilize will sort your curve out, and since he is a 9/5 you dont have to worry about him not being able to stun your opponents characters. The only problem is, is that he is susceptible to being stunned by smaller characters, and to be perfectly honest, my cousing plays Heralds almost as much as I play inhumans and I am a little bored with them
Silver Sable, World’s Deadliest Mercenary
My girl. I LOVE this chick. When I pulled my first Silver Sablinova foil I fell in love with her. When I found out she would be in MTU, I got all excited, and with good reason. She has team-up options with any team that has enough low costing characters, or with characters that search for a team-up. Just about every team can be used for her, but some more than others. Injustice Gang are an awesome team-up, because they love to have cards in their opponents hand for mass pumps and burn, and they also have a slew of low costing characters available to them. Underworld have got recovery effects, low costing characters and most importantly a hidden board.
So, after looking at these, the most interesting one is Divinity for me.
Divinity has plenty of ways to be built, but I think this is the way it will work the best.

This doesn’t feck around. Fate up divinity so she can go on a rampant killing spree. Using Secret society to help fill the KO’ed pile.
I am a little unsure as to whether to go with all Dr. Fates Towers or whether to use some Jaime Reyes, because he can get me the cards I need, because Dr. Fate’s Tower will only get me one equipment, but to be perfectly honest Sivana/Black Cat is usually enough to get me through the deck to get my cards.
You really want to team up early, but I wouldnt mulligan for one since both of the 2 drops in the deck help to get you through the deck to the team-ups, even Doom can get you your team-up.
You may have noticed that there is a single copy of Cannibal tech, this is not to fill the extra slot. This is because I have played the deck and had a team-up and Master Plan, and had nothing I really wanted to search for, so I figured that fetching a cannibal tech is the best option.
Even though this deck has no character search, it does have a lot of digging in the form of the 2 drops, all the equipments and Forced Conscription. You may be asking yourself? Why no Call In a Favour? Why no Straight to the Grave? Well.
