You just lost your 200 points. They are early in the same threads that you have been stinking up for the last two days. Read. The. Thread. First.

Sheesh. Somebody get this guy. I'm going down to the pool.

(I will never doubt Duncan Tang again.)

Frankie Raye is fair and balanced. Ok, so that was 6 words.

hey now kids dont jump on ertai, he just misses the boat on why cards are being banned, i think hes still an advocate for Overload should never have been banned, so that can explain some things.


but on a silly note check this out

Actually I was until I got to play a Nasty/Overload combo on my opponent back when I played Curved Sentinels when he was way ahead and ended up winning the game because of it. After that I realized why the card was so powerful.

Oh, and I just skimmed the first 13 pages of the thread, which is about where I came in, and I saw 3 decklists. One was chdb's casual deck which he said wins on turn 6, and considering High Voltage wins on 5, I don't consider that to be broken. The second one I saw was the Attend or Die deck which seems to do nothing without Phantom Stranger. The third was that other guy's deck who said the deck runs fine without Frankie as long as it has another free character. I'm missing these "Frankie Decks".

Seriously guys, I'm done ROLFing and blowing coffee through my nose. This thread is the best ever....

Now, somebody explain to Lyle why Frankie works without Phantom Stranger so we can move on with life and I can get some work done (can't type and chuckle at the same time today).

Wow. I think I just won some kind of prize.

My old Nega-Bomb deck has played:

Valeria
Dr. Light
Fiddler
Nenora
Frankie

...

Watch out, Master of Puppets. Watch out!

So, Mr. Hager, care to let the cat out of the bag? I'm curious as to how broken you made Frankie Raye.

Also, I've got a PCQ in two weeks, and I'm looking for something fun to play :)

Personally, I think the onus is on Lyle to show us his uber-broken Phantom Stranger deck that doesn't run Frankie.

Or just point to Reconstruction Program + Sentinel Mark V and one of the decks that got Valeria banned.

PLease add Roy Harper to your Nega-Bomb deck.

Thank you.

I think some are missing one of the points..
It doesn't matter if Frankie Raye wins or not.. she still makes the game suck.

I can take out Phantom Stranger from the Hala deck and replace all the cards that make the deck win with 4+ drops instead.

Now I've got a deck that doesn't win, but still makes the build phase take upwards of 15 minutes each time.

Is that worth having as a legal deck?

I already asked him that question. Apparently he is br0kzers in Good Guys.

Well, it's not uber-broken, but I think it is a bit too powerful, and banning Phantom Stranger would put it at about the right power level where I would have fun playing it but not feel guilty about whipping the living snot out of my opponents while they can do pretty much nothing. Most of you have probably heard about it already, it's called Great Guys. Here's my personal build:

Characters:
4X Ted Kord <> Blue Beetle
4X Sue Dibny
4X Booster Gold
3X Kendra Saunders <> Hawkgirl
1X Shayera Thal <> Hawkwoman
4X Katar Hol, Eternal Hero
1X Katar Hol, Thanagarian Enforcer
4X Firestorm
3X Superman, Earth 2
3X Phantom Stranger

PTs:
4X Justice United
4X World's Greatest Heroes
4X Mag 7
4X Return of Donna Troy
3X Hero's Welcome
2X EomE
1X UN Gen Assembly
2X BWAHAHAHAHA

Locs:
2X Slaughter Swamp
1X Sattelite HQ

I'll admit it's not an optimal build, because I built it exclusively using cards I own in paper, but it is quite a powerful deck in Silver Age. In my experiences (playing with it and against it), this deck's characters don't stun after turn 2, because it has too many pumps.

This combined with combos with Frankie Raye and the fact that UDE now has ANOTHER "return this card to hand for practically free" card to deal with (and when combined with Mxy gives you a full turn's worth of card advantage for the cost of tapping 2 guys) seems to be significantly worse for the game than a character that lets you sift through your deck without giving you card advantage, and will often give you card disadvantage.

Seconded. I would love to see how you guys have used your powers for awesome this time around.

Needs more JLI Embassy.
