Title: Celestial Quadrivial
Post by: Tussin on August 02, 2013, 12:20:20 AM
Angel in reserve. my special combo of the deck is... starting with my event The Best Laid Plans... pick my other event A Call To Arms and select 2x 8 Energy Power cards or any duplicate cards you may want... but with the condition of having this set on Angel with a fighting power card ready to discard for this.

Strange in reserve (with 2-3 marvels ad) and av to place
Or
Angel in reserve with marvels draw 4 to place

Top defensive battlesite for this team would be the outback. Ao, do, bj or dazzler 6e(opd), aa, ac, ad, ag, ar, 4bi (dazzler)

Yeah, I'd go with The Outback too, I think. I'd put Angel in Reserve and keep Dr.S up front with his 8E and 6I for teamwork options (plus he has some nice strings of his own available). Dr.S and Nightcrawler both give you decent coverage with their ADs, but only Iceman will be able to protect them from higher end stuff (with his AD), but that also makes him a target... I'd go like this for your Battlesite:

Dazzler AD NJ
Jubilee DB AC
Longshot DO AC
Reavers AO BJ
Sentinels GA EE
Wolverine AG OB

That's a bit high risk/high reward. If you dup' one of them, you're out an AR at least, if not an AO or a BJ. If you want to triplicate them, I'd use their AA. if you want to add an AR, I'd go with Sentinels' (for their GA, maybe)

I like this team tussin.  it's a toss up for who you put in reserve between strange and angel.  i'd probably go with strange in back (since his best special is playable from there {if you use marvels}), and lose the ability to use an 8 up front

what was the reason behind pairing strange with the x-men?  is it just 4 characters you like?
Title: Re: suggestions for fave hero deck
Post by: Tussin on August 18, 2013, 08:12:55 PM
just my 4 favorite, i do really like silver surfer too, but his point value is too high, might be easier to make the deck with 3 stat value and use surfer instead of angel since he has no 3 stat?

sorry i was away for 2 weeks, just got back hence lack of replies :)
Title: Re: suggestions for fave hero deck
Post by: Tussin on August 31, 2013, 03:47:22 PM
i think i would prefer Archangel in reserve due to lack of specials, even when i acquire more from him.

but then again for Dr.Strange maybe i only want to use AD/DA/HG maybe DG/CY

I think you're reading the plaza ability wrong. You get a bonus when you defend, it doesn't stack.

About stark, dead Is dead rule still applies.

The inherit abilities of a battlesite do not apply at all.
To use the location's ability, it must be used as a homebase (4 of the characters listed must be on your team).
Title: Re: suggestions for fave hero deck
Post by: Tussin on August 31, 2013, 06:41:18 PM
ok my bad. it would have made a few homebases so much more dangerous.

so pretty much each location is mostly used for it's special card if any, and specials from characters listed.

no, you can only use the Aspect card for a location if it's your Homebase. so, if Danger Room is your Battlesite, then you can't use Holographic Attackers  :-[

Location usage:
1. Home base - use the inherit ability & aspect (green border). 4 Characters listed must be on the team.
2. Battle site - ignore inherit ability and aspect. shuffle activators (character cards) into your deck and have a corresponding special from character's special pool under that under the battlesite. Obey the activator's inherit ability.

A character on your team may never be listed on your battle site. ( but I'm not sure beast (team) dark beast (battlesite) is okay)
Beyonder may be used as a wildcard activator. Non one per deck activation.

alright. is there a tried and true formula for how many power cards you should have in your deck for multi decks and single stat decks?

Title: Re: suggestions for fave hero deck
Post by: BasiliskFang on September 11, 2013, 04:54:15 AM
Bread told me 2 of each number, maybe 3x678.

this is pretty much exactly what I'll do. there are some exceptions, but not many. I'll go 2 of each on single-stat decks, and mix it for the dual-grid decks. for example, if I'm pairing Captain America and Hulk, it'd look something like this:

8FSA, 7FSA, 6IA, 5MA, ... then pair up mutual low-level cards.

now, if I had, say, Hawkeye on the team, he doesn't share the 6I, so I'd go ahea and split the 6, too.

8FSA, 7FSA, 6FSA, 5MA, etc

an infinity song a fellow mixer made... tribute to the Sorcerer Supreme, i made the video using clips from the animated cartoon.

for those that don't know the emcee known as Canibus created the infinite rhyme... poet laureate infinity in 2007.

lyrics in the show more button.

someone else made another variant of this using the footage from the same cartoon.

updated. would be interesting to do a fighting deck variant of this... replace Dr.Strange with Wolverine and swap out Iceman for someone.
