2 armor piercing poisoners is nice. Every single piece can do big damage relative to his/her points.

Just looking for some feedback and other ideas. The theme is only pure in that I want the complete Arachnos team which comes to 300pts so I have 200 to play with.

Would it be better if I added Villains that are wildcards? I felt that Major Maxim, spymaster and Crimson Dynamo fit with the attitude of City of Villains.

Ideas appreciated.

Does it have to be 500 points? With 400, the team is highly effective with some feat cards.

If you have him, use your 4 leftover points for LE Gennady Gavrilov...a nice improvement over E Crimson Dynamo.

Well we normally play 500pts a tthe weekly tournament.

They are a great 400pt team, I would use inspiring command for example and some protecteds.

I think I have him somewhere. A very nice upgrade.

Vet. Spymaster is also a nice upgrade for only a mere 2 points extra; although I agree that Mr. Gavrilov is indeed the superior choice.

I also like to employ the Ghost Widow + AP + Auto Regen combo, but with a Protected added to that to guard against an attack that would knock her off her poison--in particular any attack which deals 5+ Damage--or to save her from any attack whilst on her Regen clicks...
