There is a near broken deck out there, a guy at the shop that I play in put it together and its really something. I wish I could say what it is but he is planning on winning cash.

okay, thanks for giving us no information and starting a thread about it! :rolleyes:

well, i just wasted a minute reading nothing.

It's clearly a work of art. It's dada. "C'est ne pas une thread".

Either that or it's a ten-year-old girl singing "I've got a secret and I can't tell you nyah!"

All I am saying is that it IS out there. People said that it didn't exist and they were wrong.

at least tell us what kind of deck it is? Brotherhood, doom, FF, etc..... don't have to say what's in it.

Please... how can anyone believe this.

"I saw a deck and it's nearly broken and I can't tell you what it is."

I'm sure there are Tier One decks out there, but just because you see a few people get steamrolled by a deck, especially if it's well-constructed and well-played, doesn't mean anything.

Honestly people and their ideas of what is "broken"....

Next time keep your secret to yourself.

That is what friends do, they keep secrets!

That way you also do not waste everyones else's time reading your very uninformative posts about nothing.

This game causes that reaction, then it squashes it. After a real guantlet, or even ten games against another good deck, all thoughts of "broken" dissipate. I bet he is using Marvel Team-up without remembering Foiled.

Usually, a "broken deck" this early in the game means that there are some rules that aren't being followed correctly.

Either a card is being used wrong or abilities are being misinterpreted. Since there is no way for us to know because of its "top secret" nature, I think the owner will be surprised how un-broken it is when he plays against players who know the game and with a judge who knows the rules.

Well, I got the hint that it involves a turn 8 win, and Press the Attack.

Which, if its the combo I'm thinking of- sorry, its not broken.

turn 8 win?? Geez, getting to that point in a game is pretty difficult to do. Granted, it can be done, it typically needs a very good control deck.

Speaking of control, what do people think of Doom/Xmen deck that plays defense, deck control and keeps most cards from your opponent's hand? I made up one last night that will hopefully run pretty well. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. It also has a turn 7 Gamma Bomb if I'm lucky. Drag out the game until the late turns to get those big nasties out. I think it might be fun.

Last week I played a friend of mine's straight-up Doom deck. Stall/defense all the way until he Gamma Bombs and brings out the big guns. He basically had my Brotherhood/X-Men deck locked up pretty well. He Gamma Bombs on turn 8 (Latveria out) and at the beginning of turn 9 I play...3 Surprise Attacks, getting him to zero endurance. All I recruit is one Sabretooth with a Dual Sidearms. He recruits Onslaught. I have initiative and attack; a Savage Land and Savage Beatdown later, and I win the game. Close...but his deck truly frightened me. :)

I've been thinking of a discard deck, but have been thinking about X-Men/Brotherhood instead of X-Men/Doom. I haven't created the deck yet, but it'll be the next fun deck I try.

Oh, and I've got a broken deck that always wins by turn 3! But it's sekret! I'll rewl the Pro Circuit!!!!! HAHAHAHHA!!!!

:-)

My new Xmen/Doom deck also runs 4 overpowers to help remove most of the opponent's cards from the deck. Losing 5 cards into the KO pile is *almost* never a good thing for anyone unless you're running a Colossus that needs to be beefed up... Even then, 5 cards, that hurts.

My deck also runs Night Vision and Cerebro, Doom's Throne Room and Jean Grey to help me cycle through the deck to get what I need. Use night vision, check to see if I have a character or plot twist on top, decide accordingly.
