oh yeah. duh. Hobby, srry sometimes i skip things. i'm trying to remeber a card, i think i read somewhere that could be usefull. ne ways, nice deck. and good luck with all that stuff.

I say yes! HAving a lot of viable deck archetypes has made VS a fun ride so far.

I would hate for it to turn into MtG or Yugi where only about four deck types are viable.

One reason I left MtG was seeing people play the game over and over again. In our metagame here in the Philippines VS became boring for about two weeks when everyone was playing either CE or Titans. But a brave few have delved into decks like SinSyn and Spidey.


Waahhhhhhhhh I'll misss En-Kur's articles.

Goodluck on school and the freshmen! *wink wink*

AH-HA! THAT'S MY CHANCE!! I DO INFACT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET 4-5 BOXES OF SUPERMAN UPON RELEASE!!


MY TIME HAS COME!!!

When CE is dead please tell me, I think this is not the case. Sentinel curve is nice but slightly overrated I don't think that it will overcome the metagame. Brave and Bold do very well against it. Most the decks that beat ce, just aren't that broken of decks they are more solid but not broken. To be tier 1 you need to do something broken, My ss decks are compatable with Sentinel curve.

I just don't see TT as being the best option as ce has a great matchup hear and although you may wish it was dead it is far from it.

I read the link, but I still don't see why Devil's Due is in the deck.

I understand the angle--you need to KO Hobgoblin after you recruit Psimon but before they get their 7 drop. That rules out Oscorp Board Room.

But (and it was mentioned in the link provided), you need to target a Doom character on which to put the counter for Devil's Due. Costs are paid provided that the effect has a legal target, and that is all determined before resolution.

I don't see any Doom in this deck, so either I need to stop being an idiot and find out what I missed, or the deck needs to be re-thought.

Not to overly-criticize the deck (it's a fantastic idea), but unless you find a legal way to pull off that combo, the rest of the deck bombs once you hit the later drops. You need initiative on turn 7 to even consider the combo. So, what happens if the opponent gets the odd initiative? You're pretty much screwed, with no Foiled(s) or Ka-Boom(s) to bring it back to you on 7.

If I am missing something, please let me know. Otherwise, nice article, En-Kur.

The deck was the old one listed. I was just posting it as a starting point for the new improved General Zod deck so you would know what we were trying to do. I am going to update it soon with the new cards from the Supes set.

I think it is more that if you can't beat Common Enemy then you better play Common Enemy instead and all our decks can do that so it seems dead to us. There are no broken decks in VS. Anyone that does any testing can see that. It's all about draws and the player. Any deck except for Spidey and Sinister Sindicate are viable. Well, Spidey is actually viable if you can figure out how to beat aggro decks.

I don't see how the Syndicate isn't viable. Their raw swarm attack efficiency is staggering, and their other assorted field control tricks make them the anti-Titans. You hurt yourself to hurt your opponent twice or three times as badly in the long run.

As for the Spider-Friends, I think that it's going to take some smart use of defensive cards, including some of the new MoS ones such as Narrow Escape, to make them truly effective. Played right, it shouldn't be too difficult to steal the initiative from a lot of aggro decks.

my syndicate build is viable. I would say very solid, it isn't ce or b & b but definately viable.

well, some people could always run My Beloved at the PC. It's a great counter to the popular titans, it wins on turn 8 no matter what against brave and the bold (and I'd think sentinel curve wouldn't recover from this either). It tends to easily shred of BBH, and it goes head to head with Common Enemy.

unfortunately, I think only about 4-5 people (including myself) will be running that deck at PCLA. Such a shame.
oh well, as long as there are more than 4-5 curve sentinel decks. =D

man i just wanted to get in on the WOW witha gnome warrior, but, I have to work during that time.

Maybe i could get approved for a leave of absence

You didnt mean 8pm-1am instead of 8am-1pm by anychance did you?

If that was the case, I'd seriously consider taking you guys up on the offer for WoW... 8am is way the heck to early though (and i got 2 semesters of college left, so that time is usually taken up anyway.)
