Exactly...they have 3-4 have a blasts while NBH has a bunch of potential targets for it. Add in that most NBH run 5 drops being either magneto or quicksilver and the run genosha. I've seen have a blast give people better, or the same as what they had. Have a blast is a risk and sometime getting hit with a savage beatdown or the like is your proce. i know NBH tookm a hit, but they will return

JasonS5581 - You're right. Multiple showings at the last two 10K top 8s, not to mention one of the only 7-0 records at the PC means the Titans are nonsense. Saying "Bamf" means Titans lose is like sayin "Flame Trap kills Sents." You're right, but not everyone is going to run it. Saying weenie decks don't work (which is effectively what you're saying) flies in the face of all of the 10Ks that this game has seen. They weren't terribly prevalant in the Top 8 at the PC, but they got more than enough people to the second day of the PC. Saying they're done pretty much ignores what the meta of the game has taught us so far, which is: when something is counted out, it generally does really well at the next big tournament. See: Big Brotherhood (Chicago), Common Enemy/ mono-Doom/ Teen Titans/ Rigged Elections/ TB&TB (Pro Circuit), Titans (DragonCon), Gotham Knights (Sydney).

press the attack usually wins me games turn 6 with rogue powerhouse, plus clears the field.

and now that i can make everybody like cyclops and nightcrawler ( as in un-stunnable) i'm sure i'll enjoy using it even more!

and for those folks that are having trouble finding ways to use it :

team tactics is great! and so is fastball special.

another neat one is if you only have 3 exhausted guys on field, but a 4th character that is too small to stun an opponents guy, go ahead and make the attack, and then after the character exhausts, play the press on your biggie and eat the 2-3 damage for attacking with a scrub.

I can only assume that this post was a joke, it certainly had me laughing :p

I played Titans to a win at the 10k in Indianapolis, while 2 of my teammates finished happily in the money at the PC, and another won the comicbook event. Between us we faced quite a lot of people playing overload, flame trap, reign of terror, scarecrow, total anarchy etc - all things that are meant to hose titans pretty badly. Believe it or not, the Titans don't roll over and die in the face of resistance.

Overload certainly doesn't 'easily stop' Roy, it just tends to mean that he gets stunned at the same time that he is busy decimating your opponent's side of the board. X-Men may very well have a good matchup against Titans, but that will be more down to the existence of a lot of strong recovery cards than due to Bamf! When Roy (and sometimes Terra) is pulling his tricks on defence, he will typically be doing so outside of combat, where Bamf has no effect. The defensive tricks of Titans are just as good against X-men as they are anybody else, and given that they major in having lots of characters on the board, one would need a pretty spectacular Bamf turn to have much more effect than Flame Trap or ELBET does already. Where X-men might well cause problems is through maintaining board presence in the face of big TTG turns through copious amounts of recovery effects.

All the best

i have been toying with a titans deck that is consistently dropping my opponent down to 20 or so life by turn 3 and i hate the titans :)

but you can't argue with effective.

and it doesn't use roy!!....<ducks stones and sticks and fans out flames aimed his way>

Roy is THE MAN. I don't buy that crap about him being bad. He's won me games when I was on my last leg (1 life, 3 life, you name it), so the trick can work quite well.
