+3 BW: Other theme team

More Prob than you can shake a blind martial artist at, and one of these reviewers may try, The fact She-Hulk starts w/ Flight makes this a far more mobile team than first appearances may show. The "lesser" Thanos should be pulled about as often as sr Thanos (1 every 3-4 bricks), so if they're always fielded we may get some idea if one or the other dominates the Pre-Release and Release tournaments.

+4 Scientist theme

Batman1983 drafted Iron Man -- completely -- so that his team might live forever within HCR. He loved his scientists... so how could he not?

Not necessarily.
If he begins the turn on click 6 and you select click 6 then the outwit would persist during your opponent's turn.

Same with him using perplex and having it persist during your opponent's turn, only in that case it requires that he begin on click 2 and select click 2.

I listed this as an interesting aspect of his dial turning abilities. While your workaround is valid, it is not really using his ability so much as finding a technicality to undermine my brief. I could have delved into the various intricacies of each figure, but shorthand about questions likely to come up seems to make more sense for a primer.

Black Panther's top dial is arguably the best in the entire set. Add in the ability to shift to other dials to get skills and it's a wonder how anyone could take him down in Sealed.

That being said, BOY does he not want to be hit. SF was talking about momentum and too much confidence in Odin, when Black Panther is one Precision Strike away from going from the most fearsome to 'oh god please don't hit my Combat Reflexes I have so much to live for!'

You cannot select the same click he is already on through his trait.

You could of course always just not take the free action to turn his dial at all. But no picking the click you're already on just for insurance against Mystics or crit misses allowed

Tchalla's dreams have been troubled lately. Visions of Spider people breaking holes in his vibranium suit and force feeding him poison while holding him down. He consults his advisors.

"That'll never happen" says Grand Vizier Saturnflight, "for you are quick and your armor is strong."

"That could happen and it would be awful" cautions Councilor Jruffing, "take your army with you"

"What was the point in having exactly two advisors who always disagree?" Wonders King Tchalla, "they never help me decide anything!"

Meanwhile, in Latveria, Dr Doom is chuckling to himself at Tchalla's plight.

This is art.

Dr. Doom: racist when it's convenient.

Dr Doom is racist against advisors.

Yes, you are correct on both counts, but my larger point remains.

You could make the outwit and perplex persist and the circumstances to make it happen will not be exceptionally rare.

And no, I do not think that it's a "technicality" nor do I think that it somehow undermines the brief. It is just what it is and making a blanket statement that is untrue seems like something that someone trying to provide a brief should avoid.

Panther can, in fact, use outwit and perplex that will persist through the opponent's turn. It may often be sub-optimal due to the nature of his dial but if you start on click 2 or 6 then the option is there, and if he has two tokens this may be the best play.

If you are naturally on those clicks and don't use his dial-turning trait, then yes, it will last.

But I was referring to the trait. And the perception that Black Panther is a toolbox who can pick up Outwit anytime.

(largely because I want more eyes on the wonderful job my friends did above)

What is the worst boosters you could pull?


Initially the 10 cheapest pieces possible are: Gunslinger (common-20pts), Molly Hayes (c-25), Alex Wilder (u-25), Thorus (c-30), Tony Stark (u-30), Spiderling (r-30), GY&OL (sr-30), Man-Thing Soldier (c-33), Outrider (c-35), and (because you can't pull any more rares) Crossbones or Klara Prast at 40pts.

This would give you a 298pt team, but is it the worst? Its certainly incredibly unlikely (especially since you should get 3 uncommons if pulling a rare and a sr, though you could end up doubling up... and with that in mind:

What if a booster existed that was so bad, and you were at a tournament that was opening 2+ cases, and you pulled (after random shaking them around in a garbage bag) the same booster twice?

What are the five pieces you dread most, pulling twice?

For me I could even make 2x Spinneret work, but 2x Chase Stein would be the death knell. I think if he was paired w/ Gunslinger and Tony Stark Inventor, than almost any of the other commons or uncommons would be murder as you'd have to play those pieces. So for me pulling Magma Man as my other common and Black Widow as the other uncommon would leave me crying.

What about you all?
