Department : Havok

[Tussin]

ok i wanted to create a deck that has unlimited draw potential and that involves Havok's special to draw crazy while using event to negate duplicates.


Havok by himself can turn his 3 into a 4 vs all 7/8 Energy Grid Characters, it can be further buffed/debuffed with AM/BG/CM/DK/DN/JH specials.

runner up battlesite was X-Mansion for Domino's +2 to all actions AM, and Professor X's +2 to all BG OPD, but i went with Department H due to better special assortment.



i had lots of points to spend for my deck so i thought could Beyonder fit? i have never used him for any of my themed decks but with how many specials im using and wanting to cut down on specials he seemed like the perfect candidate, if Havok dies he can continue in his place, creates more synergy between my plays. i am trying Doppleganger for the reduction of dupes plus his low cost was key. X-Babies in reserve.

havok still has to pitch dupes, according to meta 134

If one Special sets up a condition and then a second Special comes along with text that directly contradicts the first Special, then the Special played later takes precedence. On the other hand, Events always override the text of Specials.

[Tussin]

so i should run the event and get rid of Mr.Sinister?

[breadmaster]

sounds like a plan!

[TheBradness]

I like the idea.  Gonna be hard to make the team points tournament-legal, though

[Tussin]

ah my bad. i forgot with only 4 3 stats the sum deck value is 72. i need to lose 3 points somewhere. hmm

[BasiliskFang]

Remove ice man for x babies. Easy loss of 3 points.

[Tussin]

hmm that may work, still my heart is set on keeping Havok and Iceman... does Beyonder go? should i go 23 point Apocalypse to use KO'd teammates specials? he is 23 points.

X-Babies Negate and Avoid, more built in survivability
Iceman Teammate Avoid and Avoid, better stats

a close trade off... too bad Jubilee was 16 points not 15 =[

maybe i could give X-Babies a run.

[OP GOD]

a close trade off... too bad Jubilee was 16 points not 15 =[

Old jubilee is 14 points.  One of the best underrated characters for that total.
