Hopefully at least 90% SF :)

Oh, any opinions about Torch, Wolverine and Daredevil at 6? I was wonding if I could play Torch for a change.

daredevil is amazing on init, i can't wait to try out human-torch, and compared to the mass ruin these guys can do, i dont think wolverine is really nessecary

daredevil is pretty much the only guy you're going to want to play. if there's a character you want to deal with like ahmed or whatever, or if you're playing against rush and they have evens, then torch is the guy. but. even then, he's only a tech character for the 6-slot. daredevil owns.

Just so I don't get too much hate for saying "Nope" about modern... Here is my Golden Clones deck that I just built for a donation to a new player in my area. As I like to donate decks that are competitive, here is the list.

Characters: 34
4x Aunt May, Golden Oldie
4x Black Cat, Nine Lives
2x Blade, Nightstalker
2x Mattie Franklin, Reserve Webhead
4x Spider-Man, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
1x Spider-Man, Parasitic Host
1x Spider-Man, The Amazing Bag-Man
2x Spider-Man, The Sensational Spider-Man
2x Spider-Man, Spider-Hulk
1x White Tiger, Hector Ayala
3x Spider-Man, Alien Symbiote
4x Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly
1x Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man
1x Spider-Man, Stark's Prote"ge"
2x Spider-Man, Cosmic Spider-Man

Locations: 5
1x Slaughter Swamp
2x Soul World
2x Empire State University

Equipment: 3
3x Ego Gem

Plot Twists: 19
4x Acrobatic Dodge
4x Costume Change
4x Gift Wrapped
3x Indebted
4x Spider Senses

Judge, playtest and enjoy.

TrollStat

Needs 2 more ESU and 1 more Indebted. Being able to hit your two drop consistently is one of the +'s of SF.

-1 Spider Senses
-1 Acrobatic Dodge
-1 Cosmic Spiderman

Also -3 Ego Gem +3 Mind Gem. You need to be able to exhaust a character to ESU. Ego Gem makes this more difficult to do.

Why no 6 drop Spidey from MVL?

I know he isn't on team, but he is able to Gift Wrap on 6, and he is lacking the Loyalty of the other MK 6 drop Spidey.

So is there a currernt Modern SF build?

MTU through DCL

here is my current build (yes due to buying box #6 i have a playset of sensational, esu, indebted, and 2 gift wrapped) for sf golden:
4x aunt may
4x black cat
2x blade
4x mattie franklin
1x cardiac
1x ricochet
4x the sensational spider-man
2x parasitic host
1x white tiger
1x michael collins<>deathlok (untill i get a second wt)
2x venom
2x daredevil
1x mattie franklin<>spider-woman (will replace with mex human torch)
1x scarlet spider
1x the amazing spider-man
1x stark's protege
1x cosmic spider-man
1x the sentry
(all spider-man characters are listed by version)

4x empire state university
1x avalon space station
1x slaughter swamp
2x soul world (probably dropping one for dcr mxy)

4x flying kick
4x spider senses
2x entangle (gift wrapped filler)
2x gift wrapped
2x fun and games (for now, i still consider this my experimantal slot, and i'm thinking of trying omnipotent)
4x indebted

here's how i would convert it to modern:
4x aunt may
4x black cat
2x blade
4x mattie franklin
2x punisher (works good with human torch at least)
4x the sensational spider-man
2x parasitic host
2x michael collins<>deathlok
2x venom
3x daredevil
1x mex human torch
2x stark's protege
2x the sentry
(all spider-man characters are listed by version)

4x empire state university

4x gift wrapped
4x indebted
4x rabbit fire/big leagues (assuming flying kick isn't legal)
4x against all odds
2x clash of worlds (well if you wanna play your 7-drop with out losing your 4-drop)
4x down but not out (i really dont see much more options then this, unless you wanna run some trial by juries too)

this is basically just converting my deck to modern, depending on the meta this could be a good or bad idea, this is just my 2 cents for a modern build.

the current standard modern build is

4 black cat
2 blade
4 mattie
4 sensational
1 host
3 venom
1 green goblin
3 daredevil
1 Human Torch
2 stark
1 Sentry

4 mobilize
2 Indebted
4 gift-wrapped
2 clash of worlds
4 Against all odds

4 ESU
3 soul world

3 mind gem

and 8 slots for tech. some of that can be used to reinforce some numbers or add aunt may. now that birthing chamber is back in, I might want to try adding aunt may back in and throwing in the chamber for even more filter power.

note, this list is pure mono. If I had my way with it, I'd throw in a samantha parrington, a batman and a united hq or two, and a copy of galactus and I'd take out the clash of worlds. there would be other changes that would have to be made (see mobilize), but I think you get the general gist of it.

is soul world and mind gem modern?

ah, shoot. they're not. well its ego gem for mind gem, unfortunately, and there isn't really a generic replacement for soul world, is there?

not unless they reprinted swamp in dcl, which i cant remember if they did or not

they didn't. =(

Hey all. I just wanted to say 'heya, I'm back after a long time away'. Looks like somethings have changed. So I have two questions: Whats the current deck build for Mono-SF for Golden Age. And what can I do to make SF a mean Tier deck, without having to use DC cards? (Limited Funds, you know).

oof. golden ... thats tough. I'll take scorp's list above and tweak it for the ideal, but even then this is just off the top of my head.

1x mxy
3x aunt may
4x black cat
2x blade
4x mattie franklin
1x cardiac
1x ricochet
4x the sensational spider-man
1x parasitic host
3x white tiger
2x daredevil
1x ice-man
1x nova
1x scarlet spider
1x the amazing spider-man
1x stark's protege
1x the sentry

4x empire state university
2x avalon space station
2x slaughter swamp
2x soul world

2 mind gem

1x Entangle
4x gift wrapped
3x fun and games
2x indebted
4x Mobilize
2 nice try!

that is strict mono, minus the mxy. it's not how I'd build spider-friends for golden, but this should cover your bases.

I hate to admit it, but SF are tier 2 at best
