at pre-release, i had no need of keywords.

my team consisted of:

green scar
marvel girl
the hood

old school tk bash and hood serving as tie up/secondary attacker.

worked to perfection...until the zombies came =(...however, i won the pre-release!

Oh yeah forgot about that well then you better pray for a feat lol.

i played
cyclops 50
cyclops 75
beast 73
cukoo 40
iceman 60
as a mutant theme team

then for the second two rounds i played

hulk 143
omega red 124
box 124
fighting event dial

So are you saying after you realized that Cukoo was not a mutant you changed your team? I guess if they are clones they are not really mutants...

no. not at all

half way after the first two matches we we're given 15minutes to make a 400 point team, we could purchase a third booster if we wanted and i did.

cukoo was classed as a mutant as was cyclops who somehow due to wizkids ####yness has no keywords

Oh, so you house ruled it? That's a pretty good idea... I like it.

Out of my first two (birthday) boosters came an Apocalypse SR and the High Evolutionary. Picture me hurling poop everywhere in sheer frustration over trying to fit Apocalypse on a theme team -- the only option I've come up with for Constructed is x2 R Blackhawk for 'Past.'

High Evolutionary I love. He pwns. (I wish-oh-wish they'd just given him, every Pietro, every Wanda and every forthcoming Magneto the 'Wundagore Mountain' keyword -- what are the odds of any 'Knights of Wundagore' now that MUTATIONS & MONSTERS is behind us?)

Still, I very much like the set. Keep on reaching for that rainbow, WizK!ds.

The Inside Information card is very good, but will decline a lot in value outside of the M&M events and will be much less useful in unrestricted games.

Dig the article. I have not really bought the set, nor played with it. I can't wait for sealed next week.

I think Inside Information will have a lot of "Constructed" value simply because there are a lot of versatile pieces that can take good advantage of being home to many keywords.

I'm sad that there were no Martial Artists in M&M... that's a keyword I'd like to see get a couple figs in every set.

See me signature for the X-Men theme team I ran during the pre-release. Although I never ran into a BFC that I could ignore because not many people pulled or chose to play them.
