ARKHAM! Hehe, I wish. If I do anything with MMA, it's Hellfire, maybe Mental based with the X-Men. I hate Squardron with a passion (and they were the cool kids coming from the Avengers set.) Now, they're splashing characters like it's weed! That...and I don't like fast decks. I want to savor my games, and have...what was it again....FUN!!!! Arkham all the way!

I'm pretty much in agreement with you there. Faces was a great choice for PC ATL because no one thought it was going to be run. The suprise factor had alot to do with its success. Thats not to say that its not a great and powerful deck, because it is. But, Faces is a good choice for a wide open meta where it can fly under the radar. It is not good when it is expected to be played in large numbers. It is a deck that can be teched against fairly easily if known.

Ironically, Faces did so well in Atlanta because it was perfectly teched to beat Reservist builds, and has always had a good game against Squad. Now, I think the shoe might go on the other foot. The Reservists have tech slots they are going to fill with 4x System Failure. Also, expect to see Natasha and Quicksilver hitting the field more than Dane, Black Panther, Cargill, etc.

The weekend before PC ATL, I ran hellfire in a golden tourney, and went 2-3 before dropping, and those two losses were to 2 glocks and a chomin that drew the absolute nuts. I think I will work around with Rowlands hellfire deck, and meld it with my own.

I'm not too sure about that. Mob Mentality gives them protection from Natasha and Hawkeye. Maybe if War of Attrition was included to take care of Mob does it work, but that starts hurting the reservist's ability to do damage. Now they have to have both System Failure and War of Attrition. They can easily fit one in, but the other may hurt their ability to be aggressive enough.

Morlocks, Hellfire, and Squad is what I have built right now...more then likely i'll either play Squad or Morlocks. But then again I might try and build some skill in sealed (need to get better)

As far as deck names go, X-is of Evil > X-Faces.

I will be running Avengers Reserve because i still think there is hope for this deck. But if it doesnt consistent beat the top deck from pc atl will. Have to find another deck to run more than likely Squad which i hate to play with but its the only other deck i have.

I do want you to know, An avengers build did go 8-2 to finish 17th at the end of day 1. It isn't totally a dead deck.

I just creamed my pants at X-is of evil...

who was piloting that deck? because i look at the deck that finished 17 and i think it was squad.

Sorry, my fault. Brian Raif finished 13th at the end of day one.

Even better for an Avengers build.

yeah thanks its a avenger\brotherhood build but that was pretty high out all the builds mono avengers, brotherhood reserve, and Aven\BH

X-Men Energy
i played a MMA tourney w/ X-Men Energy and it ran through Squad, Faces, X-Faces, Avengers, and brotherhood reservist.

Xorn is just to good. in a pick up match against GL I beat my opponent 25 to -10 because xorn just kept bringing guys back to life until turn six when he got KO by chopping block

but i dropped another xorn and bishop on turn seven

avengers/bhood ovb....

Morlocks Evasion, because it wins me tournaments.
