You survive until the late game, but who would you want to drop on turn 7, 8, or 9? Captain Marvel requires loyalty and 25 END to boot, while characters like Mogo do not. Who would you choose? What is your preferred method for avoiding loyalty requirements (if you splice loyalty characters into decks with a different team)?

Onslaught and Imperiex take a little more planning...but Galactus always gets the job done.

Personally I use Trigon or Emporer Joker.

Senator Kelly.

Twelve Sentinel Army characters. Recruit, activate, recruit another, activate, return with Reconstruction Program, recruit a third, activate, good game.

Appa Ali Apsa is an oft-forgotten and amazingly effective turn 8 finisher. Remove reinforcement and smash in for the win.

Galactus, Going evens.

Ghost Rider says good game against a lot of decks. I've also seen very few decks that can get a win if your opponent boosts Dr. Light.

Ghost Rider is always in my decks that want to go late. Specter can be cool too if you play Join us or Die or No Man on him.

Anti-Monitor is GG and helps if you need another turn

Speaking of end-game drops, I really hope Marvel Team-Up brings an 8-Drop Spiderfriends character NOT named Spiderman.

In an SF team-up build, assuming you're not going spider-clones, then the 8-Drop SF conflicts directly with your oh-so-nice 7-Drop Spiderman.

Liveable, but if your teaming up with a team that doesn't even have an 8-Drop, as I do, then you really don't have an option for an on-team 8-Drop.

I'm not saying I really NEED one, but it would be nice to have an on-team 8-Drop; even as just an option.

"Old school" Dr. light with boost.

One day I'll build a deck that stalls to him, one that mills it's entire deck, and brings every character in my deck to the board.

That, in a word, would be awesome. ;)

Onslaught rules!!!!!

If you boost Dr Light you win. No ifs or buts really bar compressor.

Plenty of people have won after a boosted Dr. Light.

Off the top of my head...

Last Son of Krypton

Burn + Prophecy Fufilled

Identity Crisis

Recovery + 7-Drop Sinestro

Rigged Elections

Spectacular Spiderman + any other character who can then deliver enough damage for the win + a way to negate Dr. Light's activation ability.

Nega-Bomb

9-Drop Galactus + (possibly) recovery or a way to negate Dr. Light's activation (Ultimate Nullifier comes to mind)

End of All that Is

Doomsday + a way to negate Dr. Light's Activation

Secret Six Victorious

Imperiex + a way to negate Dr. Light's Activation

(conditionally) Onslaught + a way to negate Dr. Light's Activation

another player who boosts Dr. Light

8-Drop Captain Marvel

7-Drop Silver Surfer + Burn

Gamma Bomb


I'm not saying that boosting Dr. Light isn't a STRONG move, I'm just saying I think your statement is a bit of an exaggeration.
