From the OP list I would suggest -4 Surprise Attack, +4 Avalon Space Station. It helps with early discarding since you can trade anything you draw for those characters. Plus you can discard excess Rocket centrals to get back characters for powerups.

Ok, so I was just thinking about how to empty your hand on mass, shoot me for trying:)

This deck is a ton of fun - it has to be one of the most fun decks top play in the entire game. I just broke my old version out and played it a bit. Ah, the memories. Hopefully MVL brings something sick we can add to this deck.

Is this still viable as of now? Or are there better decks out there?

yep, it's still a good deck, hehehe.

but the thing is, there's a commonly played card that pretty much nukes the deck: Slaughter Swamp.

Yeah, I've been reading and I saw that. Any way to get rid of it?

Also, I saw the Fate Artifacts...would they be any good in this deck?

Thats why I run Firefox.

The Artifacts are Great with this deck.

I believe it's still viable...in Golden Age that is. Anyone second this? I haven't played in a tournament in a while.

It's still viable till Legends come out.

What's Golden Age? Are there other formats? What's the one used for most tournaments?

Golden Age - all sets legal
Silver Age - last 8 sets are legal
Modern Age - last 4 sets are legal
it's still currently Silver Age right now, which includes Squadron.

-you can't really do anything about Slaughter Swamp without diluting the power of the deck, so decks that use it are just generally considered bad matchups ^_^

-yep, Fate Artifacts are good, both for beefing up your characters and milling through your deck.

Cool, awesome.

I was thinking that instead of the Fate Artifacts, I'd add in Black Panther - King of Wakanda and Flamethrower, as well as Advanced Hardware. That way the deck would still retain it's explosive power but have an alternate win condition against Slaughter Swamp...I guess burning the opponent to death would be good, right? Along with Golden Archer, it'd be a decent burn fest, right?

I saw Die for Darkseid and I love it. :D Is that a sure add in?

Any thoughts?

Well, if you go GA, I always thought Ka-Boom was good for this deck. Almost every deck runs Locations and that would keep you from going into the later turns.

this path leads to the dark side known as High Voltage, hehehe.
