Interesting. My friend has just such a team built - We call it Sabretooth's Harem! It's a fun deck.

I don't think we'll be making it down this time around, but keep us in the loop about Command D tourneys.

Tomorrow's our Toronto meetup #2. I'm thinking that #3 will definitely be a tournament, we're looking at April 30th.

After looking at some deck possibilities...  I have come to notice that in the comic book world...

the chicks ain't that smart.  I don't think that 1 one of them has an intellect rating over 6 and even then I can only think of a couple that even have that.

Technically Reyes has an 8... but yes there does seem to be a certain statement about the intellect of women... at least on the OP cards...

Future Backlash is a woman, right? She has a 7...

Ok so heres my deck and id like some help...

Wonder Woman
Zealot
Elektra
Thunderbird (For ultimate sacrifice)

Mission Set Infestation Incident

The rule is you can use battlesites or any heroes BUT you can only use the woman on the battlesite or anyheroes that have chicks on them
I am going to use Asteroid M

Hi,

Does Morph count as an any sex?

Post by: gameplan.exe on March 01, 2011, 07:16:54 PM
I protest the title (I hate pimps). So how about going with Charlie's Angels and making this team to suit it?

White Queen, Phoenix, Jean Grey: Dark Phoenix, Professor X (R)

Interesting rule about only using the women on the site.

I helped a friend build a team that coincidentally fits this theme, it's pretty effective. We call it 'Sabretooth's Harem.'

He also uses Wonder Woman and Zealot. Instead of Elektra, we put in Black Cat. Sabretooth in reserve. Sabretooth backs up Wonder Woman's strength teamwork, plus you get the fighting avoid from reserve. Black cat has awesome cards. If you get Zealot's Kherubim in place before your opponent can negate it, Black Cat's femme fatale card is unstoppable.

His is any heroes, but it would also work as a site team.

Fatal Attractions for the mission to use Best Laid PLans and no energy icons. (Keep the E icons to a minimum.)

Try that on for size.

I have talked with a friend of mine and thats the team he named, except he used 3 stat domino not blackcat.

I want to now go with Crystal, Jean Grey:DF, Dazzler, and Inhumans in reserve. The mission set i want to use will definately be to kill a guy, and Asteroid M for the battlesite, but which mish set?

At first I thought the only option for this format would be a fighting deck since Zealot/Wonder Woman pop out at you, but don't forget Dark Phoenix and Reyes.

Dark Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, White Queen, Professor X could be formidable if only for the fact that you'll be able to run Maximum Carnage and obliterate everyone else using the obvious fighting teams.

I am going to use Asteroid M, so Scarlet With is out. I'd rather have her negate under a battlesite where there will be no DoW.
I want to see someone make a 7str deck, i think it'll be funny to play against.

QuoteI want to see someone make a 7str deck, i think it'll be funny to play against.

So, these would pretty much be your only options, unless I missed some one...

Fairchild
Knockout
Rogue
She Hulk

With the right person in reserve, this isn't actually too bad...

Having three negates in a deck seems more powerful than having one negate under a battlesite. Not to mention having one negate total in a format where you're going to see lots of Kheribum is a really bad thing...

Negates aside, the energy team would dominate solely based on being able to play anti-fighting events.

Post by: BigBadHarve on March 03, 2011, 11:56:09 PM
You could try a Crystal and Inhumans combo, to maximize your KO event. Point wise they balance each other out so your options are way open for the rest of your team. Jean Grey: Dark Phoenix and Scarlet Witch work well. If you want to keep the Witch for your battlesite, swap her out for Jubilee for that extra defense.

Are you guys allowed to use the Marvels?

Haha, while a funny format in title, I don't think whoever came up with it realised the distribution of female characters with 8 grids.  If anyone can actually win this tournament without homemades using a strength or intellect deck I'd be surprised.  Zealot + Wonder Woman frontline, and Dark Phoenix frontline with Dr Strange in reserve using Marvels 1-6 will be incredibly hard to overcome.

Maybe a frontline of Scarlet Witch, Reyes, and Invisbile Woman could do it as a quasi intellect deck with some male 8 intellect in reserve.

ive already talked about the crystal/inhumans thing but new ruling on teams, no teams

And no marvels
Title: Re: New Tournament Announcement In Mass!
Post by: BigBadHarve on March 07, 2011, 12:26:23 PM
No teams, huh.

Yeah, I expect you'll see a lot of Jean Grey: DP teams, and Wonder Woman/Zealot combos.

I like the theme, but it does sort of limit the variety of teams.

Title: Re: New Tournament Announcement In Mass!
Post by: Ravencroft on March 07, 2011, 07:15:35 PM
It does kind of limit but we are trying to encourage the use of characters that don't see the light of day.
I will be using Reyes, Dazzler, Jean Grey DF, Onslaught. With infinity gauntlet mish set. I will hopefully team work the fighting decks to death. While having some defense still.
Title: Re: New Tournament Announcement In Mass!
Post by: rucker73 on March 11, 2011, 08:42:14 AM
How about this...  Future Backlash, Invisible Woman, Reyes with Mr.Sinister in reserve

Vault Battlesite, Infinity Gauntlet missions

I was just wondering what you guys think the viability of a bet 7 using Vertigo from the battlesite along with mist body from Backlash, with wonder woman's inherent to give you the venture win.

You mean Invisible Woman's inherent?  ;)

I think the biggest obstacle you'll face is your opponent negating Mist Body. That happens and you're screwed. Also, if Backlash is killed (unlikely if Vertigo is in play) you're also in trouble. But that's the fun of the bet 7 teams... the uncertainty!  ;)

You can only use the famale characters on the battlesite, or any heroes that have females.

This is really about underused female characters of the game.
Title: Re: New Tournament Announcement In Mass!
Post by: rucker73 on March 13, 2011, 04:58:02 PM
So a lot of Asteroid M for the people without Scarlet Witch and X-Mansion for the people with.

Unless you use White Queen and Scarlet witch...  then I guess the only other site with 3 ladies is Coda Island, but it has no AG or AO.  Although Fairchild does have the teamwork avoid...

or in that case you can just go with the any heroes and you have an AA, AG, BQ and DB.

I really like trying to build decks this way.  Wish I lived in your area to play in a few of these things.

If they keep doing regular tournaments, I'm thinking a road trip to Massachusetts to partake might be fun at some point.

Obviously we'd need to find out their house rules and get used to them... but if that happens are you interested in tagging along? (I'd plan it in advance, and probably arrange a detour up to Ottawa to grab you.)

You'd have to let her in on our secret relationship, and that might get awkward...  :P
