Guys, there IS a spell check button when you post. Where it says "Submit Reply" there are two buttons to the right of it. The closest one says "Preview Reply" and the next one says "Spell Check."

:ermm:

The reason that I would never use Carnage on turn 5 is that he says that other characters get +2 Atk. Note: This does not say that characters you control have +2 Atk, but that other charaters have +2 Atk. Suddenly, your opponent's characters are bigger now too!

This is opposed to Green Goblin, who has flight, range, average stats and a great ability on your initiative if your opponent made a mistake, such as leaving a good character wide open in the support row, leaving a good character behind a crappy character in the support row, or if he just moves everything to the front, in which case you can pound on him.

If you're attacking on 5, your opponent's attack really doesn't matter. As long as you can push for the win, you're fine. Carnage helps you do more damage as opposed to Gobby who just KO's people instead of doing damage.

Yeah, Carnage is, from my point of view, the kill card. Of course it would completely kill you if you dropped it on your opponents init.... which is another SS flaw.

How about...

4.) A TV remote. Yeah, it wouldnt be much of a burden to just change the channel from the front TV controls, but its just easier to use a remote. (Im sure you use a remote too.)

Yeah, I like that one better than the car one.

My breakdown doesn't say that SSR is better than TNB (and I will keep abbreviating it hehe). I think that SS has better drops, but the support structure is better in TNB. So while the SS has the edge in a perfect draw, TNB is easier to pull off on a sub-optimal draw. With decks this similar, consistency is king and the TNB is normally the better choice.

Honor Among Thieves is indeed better than SS by itself. It gives you a 4 drop that really closes the gap on Sabretooth, it gives you access to WAY more offensive pumps, and great stun-back options. It gives you the only true low curve character tutor any of these 3 teams have (Roscoe). You also have a direct tutor for Kingpin, who can be great with boost at the right time (especially with Mammomax not wanting to be exhausted). And Cobra and Hyde smoothe out a draw wonderfully, and give you a 4/2 character as a 2 drop in the end. Thats just plain good.

But I still think a good Curve Syndicate, or a nice Medium Brotherhood with Rise and Insignifigant, are better in todays Meta. So many decks shift into overdrive if you can't gurantee your kill by turn 5 or so.

Ok, perfect draw with TNB goes like this:

Odd initiative.

Turn 1: Resource: TNB Character: Phantazia, swing for 3

Turn 2: Resource: TNB Character: Pyro, burn for 3 and stunback both attackers.

Turn 3: Resource: TNB Character: Mammomax, swing for craploads.

Turn 4: Resource: TNB Character: Sabertooth, potentially end the game right there.

Turn 5: Resource: Genosha Character: Mags. Explode Genosha, and definitely win there.

While that almost never happens, if you want to talk perfect draws TNB is MUCH better than SS.

yet if you want to talk bout consistancy it all goes to SS.

god i love this new meta. its like a dream come true. :cheeky:

My 2 pennies. It's funny to me that someone is complaining about spellcheck and incorrect spelling, when they are using the misspelled name of a comic character.

Humblest Regards

I need to bring the question back on what SSR actually stands for now that Squadron Supreme Rush top-8ed a 10k. So could SSR possibly stand for Squadron Supreme Rush?

Sinister Syndicate Rush. There really is no deck SSR it just explains what build it is.

With that draw you want multiple characters on 3 and 4, not just Mammomax and Sabretooth.

and multiple characters on 2

ss consistent? oh please. tnb is the consistent one, ss is the more explosive one, tho tnb still has the better nut draw.

Here is a simple test:

How many GA Top 8 10ks/PC appearances has TNB made?

How many GA Top 8 10ks/PC appearances has SiSy made?

And TNB still has one major advantage over SiSy... card draw. Until they make a location like Fisk Towers: Activate Fisk Towers -> Draw 6 cards, SiSy is going to pooter out (Jonesy even put Genosha in his SiSy build).

The deck that top 8'd Orlando is called 'Flying Circus.' I kind of think that's dumb so I just call it SQS rush.
