Chuu's Custom Comic Babe Cards: DECKS

[Urborg]

Right now I'm tinkering with a Coda Island team consisting of: Spartan (Hadrian), Zealot (R), Grifter, and Voodoo. Those WildC.A.T.s have each others backs! Think that has a lot to do with Spartan's leadership style and the team's generally close bonds. You can see Voodoo go from bumbling newbie heroine to cornerstone of the team too. There is a lot of flavor worked into those mechanics, and I think that is what I enjoyed most about the deck.

The deck needs refining, but it's first game (only used it once so far) had a consistent amount of extra draws between the WildC.A.T. special plus Training Camp combo and Voodoo's Kheribum Hybrid special. Then there is Grifter's The Equalizer. Spartan turned out to be a late game beast with his Lord Yohm Kohl special and some teamwork cards. Voodoo is a prime target early game, given her strategic value. If it weren't for those WildC.A.T. specials she would have been focused down hard.

Personally I like the New York City homebase, i think it's got alot more firepower

I also have another location that I want to make from scratch but I have to design a location template so that I can easily make locations

[Urborg]

I recently binge watched the old WildC.A.T.s cartoon. It inspired to build an Overpower deck for them. What location are you thinking about working on?

[chuu]

A location that would bring all the artifacts together.

The Witchblade
The darkness
The Angelus
The Magdalena
Aphrodite IX
Lara Croft

[Urborg]

That is a good idea. They did a story arc around that at one point. That leave seven artifacts in the wind. Are there any not tied down to a given character? If some aren't, they could be used as Tactic: Artifact cards.

[justa]

I get Darkness, Angelus, Witchblade, and Magdalena as holders of Artifacts.  But Aphrodite IX & Lara Croft?  Because they were involved in the story arc to stop all 13 Artifacts from being collected together?  (Actually it was Aphrodite IV, but so what?)  Not sure of a location name to make it work.

As for Tactic: Artifact cards (shouldn't Artifacts be Universe? - that's besides the point) - The Wheel Of Shadows - "Whenever your team loses venture [in need], Team [yourself] may move 1 card from own Dead Pile to the Draw Pile [effect the past] or move 1 card from Opponent's Draw Pile to Dead Pile [effect the future].  In either case, reshuffle affected Draw Pile."  As for the mechanics of use (based on current Artifact mechanics), probably a level 6 Intellect or greater to use [to recognize its value & use], but that would make it unusable for the characters on the suggested location.  Maybe a 6 AnyPower to use would work better.  And i must admit i have no idea of a teammate requirement, maybe 6 AnyPower just to have the power to make effective use of it.  justa suggestion...  Do with it what you will...

Aphrodite IX had the Coin of Solomon in her head for a while. Lara Croft was granted some of the powers of the Weave, which was a product of one man being bonded to both the Darkness and Witchblade. She fits in that regard, as well as being in the Artifacts story arc.

I like the idea for the Wheel of Shadows. Still have no idea why Artifacts require two people. Always irked me.

My son scored a Babe expansion at December Meet-up in Toronto.  With vacation running out My son & I slapped together a couple of decks: babe power cards, babe teamwork cards and a WHOLE bunch of specials!  No battle sites nor any heroes.  It was fun Fun FUN!

My team:
Essence in reserve
Angelus
Zantana
Red Monika

His Team
Velocity in Resrve
Angelus
Power Girl with here negates (I forgot to include a Negater!  It cost me!)
Zantana

Some fun plays included:
1. Angelus KO countdown was down to 16 for both of us.  I had a 6 TW and a 5 PC on her permanent record. I had Her 7intellect special attack  (Memories of Past ) and her Roll of the Dice aptly coded "OW" .  I chose OW.  He could not defend it.  I rolled a 7 = Angelus KO!  later in battle he showed me zantana's AD:  avoid NUMERICAL attacks.  If I went with the 7 he would of saved her.!

2.  My angelus died next battle, but in the following battle I Drew new host.  But she's KO'd already.  But wait! Red Monika's Combat experience was placed!  I eagerly played that JC special with the intent of playing Angelus resurrect card but Power Girl swooped in & negated!  Sorry, Angelus.  It wasnt meant to be!

3. He drew and placed Any Homebase aspect Broken Trinity ( like a KL special)  I thought: that's a wasted card.  There's no DOW here in these babe decks. He had Velocity's Quick Thinking (EG) special placed so I tried to lock him down with Zanatana's FN: etumsnart.  He played the aspect, the Lock Down FN went away and then he played quick thinking and my HAND FULL of attack specials went away.  And later be locked me down with etumsnart and me with no aspect!

4. It came down to power pack:  Velocity vs Zantana.  I drew the 8 E PC ftw!  Exciting and fun end to vacay.  Next time we play we'll get some allys and activators in there too!

Thanks, Chuu!  Great stuff.  Really hope you find another print guy!

Love hearing of people using my set sounds like it was a very interesting game! i'm surprised that Angelus was on both teams. How did her inherent play into the game?  Did Essence get any reserve attacks out?  The JC combo from Red Monika would have been AWESOME if it didn't get negate...pesky Powergirl...hehe. 
Really make me wants to run a tournament...Friday night my set would be legal >
We'll see how it plays out

Third hand she (they) were at 16 (20 -2 -2 ?)  and I went with roll of the dice special for the KO!  We felt obliged to use a character that has ALL OPDs!   Look forward to that tourney, Chuu.  Thanks for doing this for the game!

i'm glad that people are using my cards How does mid July sounds for a tournament?  I think it's far away enough from Larry's tournament for people to still want to attend.
