I tend to roll low numbers. Snakes eyes at least once a game. Should I make an all-flying team, and play Earthquake BFC? Obviously if it works (and I'm playing against a mostly grounded team) I will benefit, but if for some reason I don't hit the earthquake, is it bad to have all flyers on a team?
Proximity Mines - You can put your object tokens next to your opponents figs to make them (or at least heavily persuade them) to move even if they don't want to at the beginning of the game. My question, more of a request for an opinion - is this a frowned-upon/dirty pool strategy or what?
My H/W link does not reflect the wants for my collection, it is a list of figures that I already have, but still "want" to play.

Probably not. Besides avoiding Earthquake, having all fliers means you do not need to worry about terrain for movement purposes and you can perfrom ranged attacks against your opponent's adjacent characters. The only real draw back is that you can't taxi any of your characters (unless they gain Earthbound later).
One thing to watch out for is guys like me that frequently play Crosswinds. I am all about limity my opponents' mobility, so I frequently pack BFCs like Crosswinds and Poor Team Work. If I were to see a team of all fliers like yours, and if I had noticed that you had not yet played Earthquake on another opponent, I'd assume you would play it on me and I'd slap you with Crosswinds to make you eat that EQ damage along with me

Well, seeing as how in the order of game set up objects are placed before characters are put in the starting area, all your opponent would have to do is not place his characters adjacent to where you placed the objects. So while it would eliminate some of the choices availble to your opponent, in all likelyhood it would have little to no effect on the over all game play.

If you roll that badly, why not play Madness instead?

Well its pretty clear when you place your first object what's coming. Your opponent should easily see it and return the favor in kind.
I would never do it - but that's me. It is perfectly legal, though.
Visible Dials and Pushing Damage need to be optional. This is the way.
