When the gauntlet first came out, a lot of people were kicking around the Imperiex+gauntlet team for 300 points.


I just traded for a new Imperiex(traded away my old one, which I shouldn't have done) and was wondering how well this team worked.

Any feedback would be appreciated, if you could post the teams you played him against, that would be even better.

If I was to run him- What 2 gems would be best to use? I was leaning toward soul and time, but IDK.

Finally, is this team still competitive? Obviously it won't do well against Ventry or his ilk, but is it still passable?

Thanks for he help!

I had good success running Imperiex with Soul and Power gem (at the time they were the only ones out). Soul Gem is always a good choice. The toss up now would be Time and Reality Gems. Super senses with Time and PC (your turn only) for the Reality.

I don't see why he wouldn't be able to compete with Ventry. With his opening 19 on top of the Super Senses you'd pick up from the Time gem, he's either gotta take a Psychic Blast and likely give you one roll, or keep his mobility and likely give you two rolls. On top of that, he has to hit an 8 (slightly below average) for his attack to stick. You just want to make it to the middle of the board and then clear. From there with your phasing, there's nowhere he can go when he pushes to avoid you getting to him and Pulsewaving his dome the following turn.

Just to add my two cents, I would choose the Time Gem. You have an opening twelve attack, meaning you only need a seven (Fifty percent chance) to hit nineteens.
If they hit your nineteen, the Probability Control won't help while Super Senses will, and I really don't see Imperiex needing the Probability. (Of course not including the chance of critical miss, but that's what happens.)

Are you gonna be playing modern only?in golden loki 777 has used shellhead to a great extent and been succesful paired with a nurse.

It's like silver age. What is loki 777?

There's a guy who plays at a venue I go to sometimes. He has played This almost every time. I beat him every time.

The first time was with:
Noh-Varr
Steve Rogers
Black Widow

A 19 isn't as hard to hit as it used to be and someone with Psy-Blast or Pulse Wave and Running Shot should have few problems with Imperiex.

This man speaks the truth.
