Palatinus' OverPower Forum

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?

Quote* The Battlesite Deck may only have one of each coded Special under it. The code of a Special is found in the lower left hand corner of the Special.

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.

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.

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 
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

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