I only mentioned Wonder Woman AoT because someone else in the thread did, I haven't really studied the set yet, so not sure what a good 4 drop for JLA would be, but if you run her Zatanna is the only way to make her useful and Jordan is the best JLA 6-drop hands down.
so why bring up that they are not legal in constructed yet ?
Not playable means 'BAD, HORRIBLE, SUCKY' and a plethora of other words. Not legal in constructed is just not legal. I guess you hav'nt played enough tcg to understand the terms well.
Originally posted by tchalla hercules is a better play against jla than ulk in most situations unless jla has odd initiative as i see it, since turn 6 cap and then turn 7 herc means herc no stunback in to the opposing 6 or 7 then readies and takes down the other one that he didn't get yet, and since warbird should have bounced the opposing 4 and 5, that leaves you to swing for a lot of damage.
avengers have the initiative on turn 1. turn one antman concealed with reservist in row. against atom concealed with magnificent 7 in row. avengers:48 to jla : 48
turn 2 jla drops out who? red tornado? connor hawkeye? wth a watch tower in row? avengers drop a hulk in row, and recruit wasp concealed.
jla swings in with their 2 for a total of 4, while the avengers team attack the tornado with no stunback for 2. a: 44/ jla 46.
turn 3 avengers drop warbird as a resource and then recruit panther, revealing all 3 reservists for a 7/6 turn 3. jla brings out zuriel or aquaman. red tornado front row if zuriel on team, or aquaman front row and red tornado protected. in the aquaman scenario, wasp and antman team attack red tornado with no stun back, and panther swings in to aquaman, trading stuns and 1 breakthrough. atom swings through direct. a: 42/jla:40
with zauriel, red tornado in the front and zauriel in the back. tornado is tam attacked, again by wasp and ant, for no stunback, less effects are added. panther then swings direct across zauriel who uses the magnificent 7 to power up and draw a card. panther may either accept the stunback or call down the lightning, which i feel would be a waste at this time. avengers lose 3, jla loses 4, then jla swings in with atom for 2 more. again, totals are a: 42 jla 40. jla rturns red tornado to hand instead of the k.o.
turn 4 brings wonder woman to the jla equipped with nth metal, backed by a 6/6 aquman due to no cards in opposing k.o. pile. avengers set an avengers mansion as a resource, then brings up the reservist carol danvers, replacing her with a black panther. then the avenger plays a walk through walls from hand moving warbird to the concealed area. placing 2 cards in the k.o. pile. wonder woman triggers and the jla player announces call down the lighting as the plot twist they may play. jla swings in with a team attack and powers up aquamna from hand with the 7 drop aquaman, removing both cards in the k.o. pile from the game, for a total damage of 18! the avengers swing back though with warbird and antman into wonder woman for no stunback thanks to wasp. wonder woman bounces and panther swings into aquaman for another 4 for 3 trade, then wasp in direct for 2 more, for a total of 10. a: 24 jla 30.
My build would use Black Knight most of the time because I never really have an opportunity to use Natasha TA abilities (because I never pull a Rick Jones on turn 1) However... if I do have a RJ, Natasha, Black Panther, and Mansion the following optimal shinanigans occur (it's not that hard to draw into this, happens frequently but obviously not all the time).
However, for turn 3 imagine this: I recruit Black Panther (make sure you have 3 reservist and one of them be Rick Jones!!!) and reveal reservist. Recruit Rick Jones from the row and replace it with an AVENGERS MANSION and discard a card!!!! Most likely my board now has a 1, 2, 3 drop . What is this?! Natasha and Rick team attacks they most likely get to stun the 1 or 2 AND the 3 drop (off trigger effects) and if you didn't use the Mansion to force that play then suddenly you are swinging with a 9/6 panther on turn 3 (unless you like to save it for later and have that mysterious card that you want to bluff your opponents with). Isn't that beautiful? (Then your opponent plays Burn Rubber, Prismatic Shield, etc and gain reinforcement... you are sort of sad but you wipe their board).
Now on turn 4. Your opponent plays... HAWKMAN!!! w/ NTH METAL!!!! (Pretty much a 9/9 character of death.) You either play Hawkeye or Carol. So you know have Carol w/ Natasha or you have Hawkeye w/ Natasha... not so good for you! They will probably both be stunned with some hopes of stunning back... if you haven't revealed your Mansion yet... maybe your opponent will be fool hardy enough to run Hawkman into Hawkeye (aiming for a stun back here). There's no one for Hawkeye to shoot so I use MANSION NOW!!!! What! Hawkeye is suddenly 11/5!!! That's 3 more points needed to be prevented a stunback! Their 3 runs into Natasha... you take it like a man. then Black Panther gets revenge... yeah... so does Rick Jones for one (unless of course you used him to prevent the breakthrough from their attack onto Natasha.
JLA is not a bad team.I thought they sucked until I started playing with them for fun.Avengers are powerfull indeed but that doesnt mean JLA can't stand up to them.JLA have powerful cards them selves.I saw a JLAvs avengers match and they gave them selves quite a match.The avenger player coulnt play call down from the lightning nor heroes in reserve cause of monito womb station, and JLA player had quite a built that included,Eloganted man which took down avengers mansion twice with its efect to prevent stun backs,Hawkgirl and hawkman where doing really good againts them,hawkgirl fetch nyx metal twice which made a huge diference and hawk man was huge on turn 4.Turn 5,she hulk came down while jLa player had a john henry Iron<>steel with a atlantian trident which he placed him self from KO Pile(a 11/11 that can become a 12/12 after he stuns a character),also a justiceleague device came was placed on hawkgirl this turn which got him a character to power up with reform the league.Anyway to end the story, JLA player won 2 games while avenger player won also 2.You can't judge a deck without first seeying what it can do.This JLA was made to beat the avengers deck and well it did pretty well.I think we should wait and see what does time tell us.Remember a lot of people said avengers sucked at the beggining and now they are playing them;)
