DoW and KL

[Nate Grey]

And yes, you actually attack DoW with activator cards. One at a time. Once you've hit it 4 times, then DoW is gone.

So when you attack DoW with an activator card, that uses up your turn? You are forced to "waste" 4 turns total to get rid of DoW, correct?

yup. it's a total bummer of a card, in the sense that it's such a singular tide-turner, with no actual way to defend the action (only counters are offense actions, which is the root of my contention).

You might also be able to mill DoW with a BW special.  Just use your Super Skrull, Brood, Iron Man, Metallo deck.  That's 20 cards right there.

This deck has always lost via venture for me... It needs a late game universal alignment to have a chance.

Yeah, the milling never faired well in our circles, no matter who was attempting it.  I did like that OP tried to include cards like that, but being that there's no real "cost" for playing those cards, the limit of 4 througout the game makes a lot of sense, especially since they gave the to characters who really don't have any real synergy.

I was just re-reading this thread cause I wasn't sure if you could, defensively pull a KL out from under the battlesite to defend the DoW, but it looks like that would be a horrible place to keep your only KL in case you DO run into DoW.  That card is just devistating to a battlesite.  Leech is pretty devistating too, especially if you leech AFTER you DoW...  granted an AG/AO/DO/EE(Inhumans), ect, ect... can still take care of Leech.

which is why I've never had a problem with Power Leech, but DoW still bugs me. It'd be totally different if it targeted the Battlesite (meaning the defensive Specials from under the Battlesite could still defend against it).

I was going through my collection the other day and noticed WAAAAAAAY in the back of the 3rd binder that I have a second copy of each of the Wildstorm vs Marvel Foil inserts and another DoW.  Wish I'd knew how awesome that card was back in the day.

i can haz ur DoW?

[gameplan.exe]

So, I was playing the other day and using C.Britain in a strength deck, with a Battlesite. I was able to use his KL to remove DoW and I'll admit that it did feel good to get rid of the card that way.

I still hate DoW, though.

I would perhaps be interested in a trade, as having only 1 is completly fine for me, since I don't have any actual decks built outside of my computer atm.

Does anyone know why Power Leech targets a character, but Devourer of Worlds doesn't?  In the old days, we played DoW like Power Leech because we didn't know any better, and we figured it was so powerful that it had to be the same scenario.
