That's pretty nice to get all of those on one team - but I don't think I have ever built a team with a specific code in mind. Up until these forums (and with Any Hero OPDs) I haven't really paid much attention to the codes at all....
im starting so many of those for opo
choose the team
put in the AQ'S
save
then change one or two characters then "save as" rename as needed

I can see how it can be a benefit. Somedays I do build teams around high attacks so searching specifically for a code could make it easier - especially on a site like Jack's that lets you search for the code.
Nice idea.

I've never even thought about Thor/Holocaust. Such high (same) dual grids is crazy. They could definitely cause some havok together.
I don't want to steal his thunder, but I'll share anyway. When we had an OPO Tournament awhile back, Breadmaster built a team around the HB-Special with Beast and Puppetmaster (sort through Opponent's Power Pack and remove any 3 Power cards). He was using Any Heroes for the New Universe Special (EN) and also using Captain Mar-Vell's Universal Alignment - then lots and lots of defense.
His idea (which worked wonderfully) was to be able to reset mission cards enough to ensure getting to the Power Pack phase of the game. Along the way, he'd deplete your Power Pack - sometimes nearly completely! So, you'd hit the Power Pack and may have no level 8, 7, or 6 Power cards! Brutal!
For myself, I've definitely built teams around the High Attack cards (see this thread: http://www.beenhereandthere.com/SMF/index.php?topic=178.0 (http://www.beenhereandthere.com/SMF/index.php?topic=178.0))
I've also built a deck around Rogue's FL card with an alley-oop from Angel's FQ-Card from THE MARVELS (see this thread: http://www.beenhereandthere.com/SMF/index.php?topic=631.0 (http://www.beenhereandthere.com/SMF/index.php?topic=631.0))
Those are both very fun decks for me :)

Think he'd share the deck for that? One of the guys that I got into OP is huge into MTG and that was one of his favorite things to do (deplete a power pack) so I think he would get a kick out of playing with a similar team build like this.
Never with codes... but I'll often make teams with a certain Theme in mind.
Whether it be a team that exists in the comics, or some wacky notion based on the cards themselves. IE: The Old Bald guys - Lex Luthor, Kingpin, Prof. X. and Puppet Master.
Eh, I'm easily amused. Sue me.

I used to do things like that when I played HeroClix. My all time favorite was Team Lazy. The main big hitters Were Professor X, Magneto, and Metron. All 3 were sitting down (of course Charles doesn't have a choice......eh) therefore good ol' team lazy.

jesse, that's the post where i break down the deck. it's the 4th post from the bottom. there's a few other quirky winning decks in there (trick or treaters, anyone)
the thing with that deck, is that you'll be conceding ALOT. and since you want to go to power pack, it's hard to stop the opponent from completeing their mission. that's essentialy how the deck is built...stopping the opponent from completing mission while still losing battles
i honestly didn't think the deck would be able to snag a winning record (5-4), due to the sheer number of cards in the deck that don't affect venture. it actually went on to beat every team that played (except oscorps nasty little team). i was really happy with that squad
A buddy of mine made a BW deck once. But it was before the Any Character special, I believe he used Iron Man, Super Skrull, Brood and Morph. It didn't run all that well.

Thanks man! My buddy is going to love that. High win percentage or not this is right up his MTG playstyle.
My current deck is based around the HN special: Hand, Starjammers, Nick Fury and Hawkeye. I call it my H1N1 deck because it's supposedly deadly.
I have another HN deck but still haven't been through rounds of tweaking.

should've used gambit! or are you using his from Danger Room? :P
I thought of an obvious one - lots of people build around AD specials... also, "lockdown" type decks are another built around code-specifics (AV, AX, DZ).
my brother, back in the original days, built a team around the AE-Specials (combines) with Gambit, Elektra, and Psylocke (I think those were the three he used).
Gambit's in my other one, at least was. Gambit, Green Lantern, Cyclops and Velocity. Very very heavy hitters with the reserve dealing some discards.
The H1N1 deck uses (surprise!) Outback for the battlesite because it lacks defense in every possible way. I was thinking of experimenting with Danger Room to get the extra HN and EJ from Gambit.

jw jz cant be defended with a Special card.
jh kb lower defense then attack high and send lower damage to permanent record (bullseye can do both)
ej kb low attack high damage high attack to lower damage and to permanent record
nx -2 to attack if not successful
unfortunately, the cards that state "are not affected by Special cards already in play" are not effective against hold-type cards, like AV and AX. The metas state that the attack itself must first be legal, then the text of the Special are effective. So, since the AV prevents the attack first, the attack's special condition isn't effective. This bugs me most when I use Danger Room :-\
I thought of another deck I've built with a specific code in mind that was a lot of fun and a new strategy around the MARVELS set.
[Alpha Flight] [Domino3] [Shadowcat:AoA]
[Sabretooth]
The frontline characters all got the Special coded OJ in the Marvels.
Alpha - MADISON JEFFRIES "Acts as a level 10 Any-Power attack. May be used against Battlesite. If used against Battlesite, damage counts toward Venture total." OPD
Domino - DEMOLITIONS "Acts as a level 6 Intellect. May be used against Battlesite. If used against Battlesite, damage counts toward Venture total."
Shadowcat - Phased Disruption "Acts as a level 6 Fighting attack. May be used against Battlesite. If used against Battlesite, damage counts toward Venture total."
It was a fun, fresh strategy to specifically target the Opponent's Battlesite. It's something most people won't expect, even if they're familiar with The MARVELS set. I used Any Heroes with it for 2 reasons - 1, was for the Reshuffle Event that I used on the deck (I mean, if I can KO the Battlesite AND get them to reshuffle those Activators...!) - and 2, getting these hits to stick becomes much easier if you can land DoW first ;)
and then use a 8 anypower attack

Yeah, I also forgot one other strategy that specifically involved the Any Heroes - usign Teamwork and other cards against the Battlesite, particularly to finish it off after getting some of the OJ cards to stick, then using New Universe to concede (so the lost Venture points doesn't really hurt). ... I think I need to rebuild this deck soon...

http://overpower.ca/wiki/FE

Unfortunately, this string can't be done. If a character is attacking as a follow up to another character's special card, then that character's follow up attacks are forfeited, regardless of who would be making the follow up attacks. So...
If you play Adam Warlock's FE, which allows teammate follow up attacks, and Invisible Woman plays her FE - then her FE has to forfeit its follow up attacks, even though she wouldn't be the one to make those follow up attacks.
Quote(9) Specials that allow a follow up can be played after another Special that allows a follow up. If a Special allows for teammates to make follow-up attacks, then any follow-up actions allowed by Specials played as a result of that are all lost. If the Special granting a follow up has been played following a non-Special card (like an Ally card) then the follow up attacks are not lost.
yeah i thought so
at least you can still get in 3 or 4 attacks in

then do it again :-*

yes, Namor's follow up opportunities are all forfeited with the FE card. So, I.W. could play the ally into those two Namor cards, but you can't use the FE as a starting point for that string :-\
yeah ok
thanks
i still think fe is a good special
especially with a homebase like avalon
follow with a couple av's or as's (i e s) there's you spectrum ko)
in my above example you could use namor reed's and susan's love triangle

I'm really sorry to inform you that you can't use Battlesite cards as follow up plays of any kind, not after Ally cards, AA-type Specials, JC-type Specials, nada.
You are correct, though, the FE cards can still be quite good. They're kind of like a mini-teamwork. You don't get bonuses, but they're also not restrictive. So yes, if your Front line is, say, Dr. Strange, InvisibleW, ProfessorX, then you could go FE-AV-AV, that would be quite the nasty turn to defend ;D
I'm really sorry to inform you that you can't use Battlesite cards as follow up plays of any kind, not after Ally cards, AA-type Specials, JC-type Specials, nad

anyway, so are you using CapeC as your battlesite, then? I've never really looked at it for a Battlesite, I just know it has one of the coolest I.A. in the game :D
Good catch on the Xaos bug.. I'll find what's wrong.

Xaos doesn't have any OPDs which is what's causing the problem. I'll get to it later.

well, with Ripclaw, Storm, BoosterGold, and Velocity, I think you'd need to run a Battlesite with some "get off me" type of defensive cards for Ripclaw, otherwise, he'll take the brunt of all attacks. I wouldn't attack Storm or Booster directly. If Velocity is on the FL, she'd be the first target. Neither Velocity nor Ripclaw have their own defensive cards, either, making a Battlesite an even bigger need. You might consider using Image Inducer (or two) as well.
The last example I kind of ignored. I mean, hypotheticals about teams that can't exist... sure, do it man! ;D

That's pretty funny. Outback does have the BJ, which will help funnel attacks away from Ripclaw, but it's only one. On the other hand, a Battlesite like Danger Room or X-World have a pair that can be used (BJ & CD, or AH & CD, respectively). In general, though, it might be worth actually just
using Beast in stead of Ripclaw. He has his own CD to funnel attacks to the other two, plus he has negates for you. Then, there's the added strategy of using Book Of The Darkhold on either Booster or Storm ;)
Cape Citadel fixed on the Battlesites page.

Isn't that what the Beyonder decks kind of theme off? Not exclusively, of course...
I just built a deck around a new card. It's seldom used, but I figured if I used enough of them, maybe there'd be payoff. The team is still pretty solid, despite the weak, but prolific card. Plus, it puts Cyclops into a rarely-used Reserve position!
[X-Men:OT] [Professor X] [Iceman] Any Heroes
(AFx2) (AFx2) (AF)
[Cyclops]
(AFx2)
I'll spare the details, but it's already a solid deck, and then adding all the "Add 3 to Venture Total" Specials seemed to be a fun, fresh approach. I played a game with it last night and won, although the AF cards were only marginally helpful (think I won 1 hand with 1 of them).
I always thought AFs were wierd with the +3 or -3 to opponents venture total thing. Some cards say +3, some -3, and some say both with a choice of which to apply. My question is what's the difference? Since the only way to stop either is a negate, and since you CAN go into negative venture I just don't get why all those type cards aren't just +3. :P

well, in the first edition, it was all + for good guys and - for villains. I think they just wanted to keep that concept going. the net effect is the same, though.

I did, also give him a pace-able Special, Remove Visor. I've found it to be much more powerful as a late-game card. Even though it's not as valuable on it's own, the ability to land 13 points in one move is quite threatening.

who's in reserve?
dazzler(who can possibly use longshots specials) (http://overpower.ca/cards/specials/340.png)
or psylocke?
I'd go Psylocke, to fit the grids a little better. Plus, I'm a fan of bringing AV specials up...
I meant using mojoworld characters as activators. Everyone but psylocke has a negate.
unfortunately, you can only have one of each code under a battlesite (regardless of the character), despite what the rulebook says
Hmm ok. Post op death ruling?

Thanks!
now trying
level 9 as with the 9 hr
I have made two decks themed around specials that I have very much enjoyed using.
One was actually an attempt to make a passable Deathlok deck and the other an attempt to use Psycho Man
The Deathlok deck ended up revolving around his JW special.
I have used two variations of it... both include White Queen and Dr.Strange in reserve and then I use either the New Warriors (to really pile on the JW's) or Adam Warlock (better stat backing and I like to use his FE to chain the JW's together)
For the Psycho Man team I built around the FE specials that Invisible woman and Adam Warlock have and around Psycho Man's Hate special which states that the opponent may not use any cards with the word teammate in it. I build this one with no teamworks and many anti teamwork events and specials and I use ally cards and the FE's to chain many attacks for myself. This one has also had some mild success.
But really I have learned that you will never be able to build a viable tournament winning team featuring Deathlok or Psycho Man.

I have made two decks themed around specials that I have very much enjoyed using.
One was actually an attempt to make a passable Deathlok deck and the other an attempt to use Psycho Man
The Deathlok deck ended up revolving around his JW special.
I have used two variations of it... both include White Queen and Dr.Strange in reserve and then I use either the New Warriors (to really pile on the JW's) or Adam Warlock (better stat backing and I like to use his FE to chain the JW's together)
For the Psycho Man team I built around the FE specials that Invisible woman and Adam Warlock have and around Psycho Man's Hate special which states that the opponent may not use any cards with the word teammate in it. I build this one with no teamworks and many anti teamwork events and specials and I use ally cards and the FE's to chain many attacks for myself. This one has also had some mild success.

LOL'D on that last line!! seriously, though, i commend your efforts! i always consider decks like these to be fun, even in their (relative) failures, just because the strategies developed can be fresh and innovative :)
id rather use deathlok than psycho man

I think that I prefer Psycho Man actually. I find that running a few "Hate" specials and some anti-teamwork events can really make things messy for your opponent. Combine him with Invisible woman and you can also run "Malice" to up his usefullness. Also having Invisible Woman's FE allows you to play with fewer teamworks...
Also Psycho Man is only 18 points and easier to fit into a deck.
But to each his own. I do believe that I have had better results with my Deathlok deck, but I enjoy the strategy employed by the Psycho Man deck more.

Why do you suppose they went from EJ to KB? In most cases the change was for the better, say avoid one fighting attack up to avoid one attack containing a fighting icon. But in the case of a KB, it not as good. Reverse Polarity for Polaris should be an EJ special. It's the same thing, only it sux. :o
And with the JW's, if I have Polaris' direct energy flow in play, I can't shift the follow up to the EB, right? This would still be considered a special card defense, which is restricted by the JW, correct?
im guessing because its a perm record thing......i prefer it as an EJ too....but does 8 damage as well so 8)
sounds right to me..........http://overpower.ca/wiki/JW
"Shifting the attack to another target is not considered defending the Special."
take that as you will
same with http://overpower.ca/wiki/JZ
i do know http://overpower.ca/wiki/NJ goes past cards like EB

specific special numbers other codes of interest
in this case.....9
