So were back to a Rock, Paper, Scissors Golden Format. And it couldnt be any sweeter on how wide open this PCQ season is going to be. But My question for you is what do you think with be the MOST PLAYED Net Decked deck in the first couple weeks of this season.

Here are what did well in PCLA weekend.

1. PC- (Control) via Common Enemy, New School. Dominant

2. Scholarship- (Beats) Curve Sent, Avengers

3. PCQ- very blah. Titans, Avengers (finals)

Obviously there will be a most played deck. Im just suprised that Squadron didnt have as many players running it in the scholarship or PCQ. Yet was most dominant in PCLA. This meta is going to rock like no other! what your guys take on these next few months?

Good old rock. Nothing beats rock.

Avengers and Squad can still probably be considered the "decks to beat" for this format. Both have so much raw power within its character and plot twist selection. Squadron can often win on turn 4 or 5 if the opponent isn't throwing out enough characters.

However, this weekend marks the legality of JLA. Already, that set has shown to offer new options to older teams. It's also offering new deck types, such as DIG burner (Doom/Injustice Gang) and Secret Society. Deadshot, as a single character, intrigues me simply because he's a royal powerhouse against both deck types. I consistently saw during testing against a few locals (who were running society) hitting 10 cards in their ko'ed pile turn 3. Trading two resource points to remove 2-3 resource points from your opponent's field can be devestating. Against Avengers and Squad, it's saving you from around 7-12 damage. Now imagine Deadshot in decks that can bring him into play for free.

Yeesh. :X

As for right now though, it appears Squad and Avengers are two of the top aggro decks. Titans can still compete, however, as it's still best at what it does: off initiative tricks and punishing your opponent for missing their drops. It also punishes your opponent for being wasteful. CS has the annoying ability to adapt like the ****ing borg, so I doubt they'll be counted out as well.

It's really an open environment with a lot of possibilities.

That's not true... I went 2-4 at the PC. :p lol

Dr. Teeth > your soul

:D

You have to tweak or "tech" your rock so it can rip through paper instead of being wrapped by it.

I expect that with sentinels finally starting to decline in the face of so much SS and avengers we will see more old favorites come back to rehaunt us all over again, MKO can take down squad and avengers pretty easily, so can Common Enemy if SS isn't using AIDA.

I predict this PCQ season is going to be a stroll down memory lane. Common Enemy, Big Brotherhood (nth metals and kelex help), Child locks, titans and alot of classics. System failures as common as overload was.

At the recent PCQ in MN there were a ton of stall/control decks, but they all ended up residing at the lowest seeded table.

There is nothing better then someone trying to play a deck that they just copied and dont truly know how to play with"

It was a nice little treat too, since we got to sneak in another golden age pcq before JLA becomes legal.

But I like playing with my deck. I don't care if I'm the best at playing with it or not...I just find it's really enjoyable.

Well Team Superman is still mushroom, and everything beats mushroom.

except humans/metahumans/mutants/immortals who eat them. They get explosive diarrhea.And thus, loses to the mushroom

I'm looking at you Gotham, Arkham, X-men, new gods,darkseid,masters of evil, crime lords, underworld, x-statix, and just about anyother team that isn't the following:
Squadron Supreme, Avengers, Sents, titans.


Don't diss the 'Man

not true, paper wraps rock, duh!!!

hahaha:p

Hey everharm, who are you? I was at that MN PCQ, got 2nd in sealed. I also liked to see so many control decks fall, and it was 1 Squadron, 2 Avengers, and a Titans deck for top 4 of the constructed, with the Squad and Avengers splitting in the finals. The cool part was that one Curve Sents made top 8, proving to be a solid choice still.

Dude everharm, glad to see you got your avatar and stuff...make make it funny.

Funny=fun.

Fun=to want it.

To want it=girls.

Get it?

Ah me niether.

Anways,

BLACK MAGIC.

That is all.(yeah i don't have much vs talk today =/)

get a life and spell yaus right douche

lol

hey i was the guy at the MN pcq wining it with squadron, 2 of my friends brought control decks with them, the gamma doom deck just had some crap draws and my other teamate who was playing New School, well he could use some work on his playskill, there were some matches i could see how he just let the win fly out the window.
