does anyone make decks with specific special codes in mind

[Jack]

Cape Citadel fixed on the Battlesites page.

i hear the outback is popular this time of year 

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

Isn't that what the Beyonder decks kind of theme off?   Not exclusively, of course...

[gameplan.exe]

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).

[Nostalgic]

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.

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.

how about the battlesites? Mojoworld, NEGATES!

You mean as a homebase? because yes, that has some hyper-negating up front, with Mojo, Longshot, and X-Babies! Plus, you could go with some super-defense battlesite and take advantage of Longshot's inherent ability, trying to keep ahead on Venture automatically

who's in reserve?
dazzler(who can possibly use longshots specials)
or psylocke?

[gameplan.exe]

I'd go Psylocke, to fit the grids a little better. Plus, I'm a fan of bringing AV specials up...

[BasiliskFang]

I meant using mojoworld characters as activators. Everyone but psylocke has a negate.
