Canamrock: Oh ok. I thought you are paying 3 RPs for something like PT or payment effects. What do you think about the ally build of JLA?

I don't really like it too much. The Barry Allen Abuse piques me so much, and some of the characters look like lots of fun working with the B-Hood (Zatanna, for one). I think it'll be a JLA / JLI team-up that'll do it best for Allies. Like I stated earlier, you want Connor Hawke and Booster Gold as your deck's answer to Hawk & Dove on turn 3. Ice is a solid 4-drop for the team-up, as is Hawkman. The rest of the turns, however, don't have the same obvious answers. Any deck wrecked by the 3-drop Kang Cobra isn't that great, and Matter Conversion makes solving that problem even tougher. Having to run Monitor Womb Station and Sattelite HQ as counter-tech sucks so hard. I'd rather be forcing out WoA's to make Lex an attackable target, eating counters with Scarecrow, or wiping an entire field with a 6-drop. :grin:

This means it sucks? SHould have expected it though. Looks like JLI 4 resource is a good one to make.

How bout Infinite Crisis of Doom?

Vote Manhunter for Worst Golden Age Faction 2006!

I vote for Skrull, and I dare anyone to come up with a worst team.

JLI is probably the deepest and best team in the set.

If we're voting for tiny, awful teams I'm either voting Shadowpact or Deathstroke. If we're voting for real teams, Manhunters FTW.

Mark Slack I was expecting that you might give a reply about why the new strategies are no good, I thought that was your job as a professional skeptic.

JLA and JLI both suck.

But Manhunters are worse.

Then what do you suggest? SS or IG?

superman obv

SUperman is not a new team in this set. What I want to know is the best team in the set. I have proxied a JLA and a JLI deck, both looks good. I am waiting for a chance to try them out.

my JLI is great, i personally run plasma blast as it is essentially a clobbering time in the deck. mine is golden age tho.. i run beatdowns and genoshas...

Genosha? You are playing Magneto? I am sure JLI's 5 drops are good. Why did you choose to play Magneto?

sounds like he's just running genosha for the sake of drawing cards and keeping the resource count low...which is kind of unnecessary when you can simply Kooey a card to your hand or reservist recruit a black canary. Or, worst case scenario, ko a resource via your 2/3 robot guy (the one that's a 3/3 with a face-up location).

And even then, having resources CAN be nice, which makes the 2/3 ko effect kind of bad.
