Well it sounds like PCLA was just imply amazing this year. I was able to attend last year but had to pass this year. The funny part is there were only a couple of people in DFW that even considered Squadron Supreme but their ideas looked nothing like this. It looks like my Heroes United Stall would have done well at this PC with so many Common Enemy Decks lurking. It has a pretty nice matchup against Doom, CS and TT. Squadron would have probably caught me off guard a little but I don't know for how long. I'm glad that everyone enjoyed themselves but I was truly shocked to see that not many if any people were playing Kang. Not Kang City just Kang. It is an awesome deck that matches up well against many different decks. New School is one that gives a little bit of a problem but other than that the many faces of Kang have an answer for almost every deck if you really look at them. Good luck to all of you at PC Atlanta.
I think the answer to the "what happened to Avengers" is that Avengers simply isn't the Curved Sentinals replacement. Unlike Curved Sentinals, it can't really adapt all that much; you have, at most, about 4 slots you can play with to adapt to the metagame. Aside from that, if you play one Avengers deck, you'll know how to play against them all.
Decks designed to beat Avengers WILL beat Avengers (this was never fully the case for Curve Sentinals). It's tricks are static, and it really hated the resurgence of Doom.
In short, while a solid beatdown deck, I don't think it will be around as a top deck for very long. It'll see some play (easy to play, might take out some of the decks adapted to beat Doom); but it's not going to have any more top showings until the metagame shifts and forgets about it.
I love how immediately following several comments on how the only reason the best Avengers deck was winning at all was System failure someone posts that maybe you should cut one.
