Title: Energy Source
Post by: Tussin on November 22, 2013, 03:21:36 AM
inspired a little by the White King's Quad Negate.. for matching stats and doubling up characters to soften deaths of heroes for special use. Thor can combo for some big 12's with AE with a deck searcher to set this up more consistently. start Thor in reserve.

Storm can get me up to 3 energy power cards from power pack..plus great synergy with Thor's Viking Pyre to combo with New Lease On Life.

Quotewould i be able to use a Morlocks special card for my battlesite because of Storm : Neutralized's innate ability?

Yes, As long as it's Storm: Neutralized in there, any other Storm isn't allowed to pick and prod at Morlocks. And all Storms count as duplicate.

i don't think you can use the energy 8s in the deck, since they will be unusuable as soon as you draw your hand.  It won't wait for you to play God of thunder.

this is true.

so what your saying is i need to have a natural 8 before they could ever use those 8 energies even with the special card?

hmm if thats the case i guess i need to swap my sentinels pairing for a new pair.

this has the added benefit that the Inhumans' EE Special (from The Marvels) can be used for hits that have already landed, so that you can use them for Thor, even after he's played his FT (also from The Marvels).

Yes yes yes to the last 3 posts. If you can do Thor, inhumans, crystal and brb...tho it seems illegal to me.

Post by: steve2275 on November 23, 2013, 10:11:57 AM
its 1 point over
if thor is the focus you could use the team of
crystal inhumans(reserve) thor and x-babies
or replace crystal with x-man and have two 8 e's

he needs a clone to kill off with the Cross event.

Post by: Tussin on November 23, 2013, 07:48:31 PM
hmm what about this for my replacements? seems more well rounded as a deck
Title: Re: Energy Source
Post by: chuu on November 23, 2013, 08:36:12 PM
Jean grey and jean grey dark phoenix are the same character so you cant have them in the same deck.
Title: Re: Energy Source
Post by: Tussin on November 23, 2013, 09:33:16 PM
hmm. would Shadowking be an option instead of normal jean grey? 7-1-1-7 (16)

would keep my deck sum the same and a few more special options and backs up the energy.

You could also use the professor x and original xmen team combo since they can play professor x non,opds but the youd have to ko prof since he cant use their specials

I have to thank you Tussin, because of this thread I ended up making a new deck...i think it's pretty cool :)

Jean Grey: Dark Phoenix
Goblyn Queen
Black King
X-Man in reserve

The crossing KO event with an activator (Skeletal Summoning - DS)that lets me search my deck for any card I need i.e. Clonal Origin, Phoenix Lifeforce, Madelune Pryor :D

Post by: Tussin on November 24, 2013, 04:27:31 PM
yeah no problem. just getting into serious deck building... learning new tricks and combos as i go along.

Thor/Ghost Rider/Banshee/Inhumans all have a (DS) special that is valuable in a battlesite for activator special searching for any character you have. important to setup niche combos imho.
