Is there an accepted character curve for a straight-curve deck?

For example, in a 60-card deck, it's approximately 4-7-7-6-4-3-2-1 (34)

So in BIG-DECK, would it be something like: 7-12-12-10-7-5-3-2 (58)

so does that mean i can dust off my weapon of choice

the more I play this format, I don't understand the character's team restrictions. If I could make a 40 team deck work, why can't I do that, instead of imposing this 10 of 4 different affiliations thing. You are naturally aided by playing that many of a certain team b/c of how they naturally work together. But I have run into many situations where I really want to play anti-matter, but because of this dumb rule I end up playing with Yokal or some equally unimpressive card, just to satisfy rules. Just curious, why does this rule exist? Is it to prevent someone from just playing the 50 best characters? B/c I think those characters need to have a ton of synergy with eachother and team affiliation bounds are naturally encouraged.

LMK.

The team restriction is so you don't play just one Dr. Light, but say you're playing emerald enemies as an affiliation (keep in mind its 'at least 10')

You can play a random Dr. Light, but if you're saying one of your core teams is Emerald Enemies, you're still going to need 9 more characters.

Additionally, if you have to play 40+ on-team characters, it makes adding a random off-team character even harder.

Yeah, there needs to be SOME team restriction. Plus, it gives the game a little flavor; otherwise, it is just Highlander.

Though maybe cut the requirement down to 7 or so? Would certainly make more teams playable... you actually can't play secret six or fearsome 5, both of which have very powerful cards.

Not a bad call. Skrulls too...Oh, the Skrulls. SWEET SWEET SKRULLS!!!

What about minimum 5 cards from one team as long as that team has less than 20 characters? And that can satisfy only 1 of your 4 team requirement?

EDIT: LOL Anti-Matter still would have to play 10... Hmm, what's the average number of characters for all the teams with 10 or more characters? (Fearsome Five have 10 exactly.) I'd say 5 from any one team with less than that average.

Skrull is playable. Theres 11 of them .

Skrull Soldier
Super Skrull (Marvel Origins)
Lyja
Nenora
Captain America
Wolverine
Ethan Edwards
Paibok
Rogue
Warskrull
Titanus

and a new skrull in Mtu makes 12

So is fearsome five
dr light
gizmo
jynx
mammoth
neutron
psimon
deuce
charger
dr sivana
shimmer



Unplayable teams
Infinity Watch (6)
Negative Zone(5) though atleast 6 come teamup
Crisis(7)
Deathstroke(3)
Rann(1)
Speed Force(3)
Secret 6 (8)

OK Now that DWF is out and there is the insanity cards, will they be banded? There is no real draw-back to them.
