Worth it? Absolutely. But it raises the cost of double tk to102 and doesn't have quite the same ability to get guys across the map. So I think I would use leech with ig, but I wouldn't be doing it for his tk I dont think.

Soldier Theme:

General Thunderbolt Ross (IHFF) 24
Captain America (AVM001) 75
Nova (GG FF) 125
Punisher (CA) 65

TOTAL: 290

Ross and Cap's Leadership can can clear themselves and Punisher. Nova provides a +2 to their AVs.

Cap is mobile due to AI team ability, and Nova can taxi Punisher.

Leech helps you most by A) preventing power actions, and B) using his stealthed outwit. If he becomes your TK piece he no longer does those things, at least not until your tent pole is on the other side of the map, which is when you want Leech to already be in position.

Skrull Black Bolt 133
Xavin 75
Skrull Infiltrator (b side) 40
Skrull Infiltrator (b side) 40
288 points. TK, Perplex and double Barrier to help Skrullbolt out.

Um...I'm sorry, or am I completely dense or what?

1) Dr. Strange has neither the transporter or flight symbol. How is he phasing Leech anywhere?
2) Even if he did have the transporter or flight symbol, how is he not receiving a -2 penalty to movement for carrying leech?

I believe his build had Strange + IG + Space Gem

SPACE GEM:

This could work too, but with Leech on your team, you have to watch out for certain maps. If for example you're on the Spider-Man Bridge Map, with a 4x4 starting area, Leech will be in your own way for first turn TK. On the other maps with a 9 x 2 rectangle starting area, you're all good.

Are maps retired along with their sets? The spider man bridge is a unique map in how its starting area is set up and is the only one i can think of that would hinder first turn tk via leech.

Also, you dont need to tk first turn necessarily. I often find it better to have magog pick up an object turn 1. You could place objects well such that a double tk and a charge would let you pick up an object, but opponents can also see where your objects are and play around them / shoot them. Plus I play against cyborg supes a lot so i'm used to playing with just 1 heavy.

There are many maps that would hinder double TK and not just because Leech is in th way. Consider tha Realm of Death that came out with GG, Oa, or Ferris Airfield.

If you are only referring to proximity of Leech to prevent double TK, any map with limited starting area would do this and there are certainly more than just WoS Bridge that does this. I know, you can certainly move Leech out of the way first, but you could do this on WoS Bridge too. This still doesn't solve problem of first turn TK.

Map retirement shouldn't matter in regards to being able to do TK chain first turn as there will be maps out there that can hinder it just as readily as WoS Bridge.

True true. The team certainly doesn't rely on first turn tk though. In fact indoor maps let magog shine since he can get kills and place around corners while free action phasing leech all around the place locking down move and attack through walls. Open maps let you uberblitz, indoor / maps with lots of terrain favor a leech heavy strat. Both are good for this team.

Maps do not retire. There are only a few restrictions on maps.

-They must be 2x3 or 3x3 WizKids created maps.
-They must have the colored terrain designations if at a WizKids sponsored event.
-Last year they provided a list of legal maps for Worlds.


So unless they make another list of maps and The Bridge is not on it, expect it to be available.

What about something like Cable/Deadpool as a counter to the Strange Renegades team? Maybe:

Cable/Deadpool + one Gem IG
AIM Agent.

C/D with damage Perplexed can Phase in and Duo attack out a wall section and one shot the Renegade behind it. And possibly push the next turn to do it again?

Thanos 150pts
IG 10 Pts
SG 5pts
RG 5pts
A.I.M Renegade x2 68pts
Klaw 60 pts

298pts



I think it can do well against Stranger.

OK, so they work well against 1 strategy. How do they do against others? I don't think Cable/Deadpool would work well against most teams.

And they don't actually work well against that Stranger team. They took out a Renegade. Now Stranger gets a shot on them with them at -1 D. For them to have done the Duo after using PT they need to have had 0 tokens, which on most maps will require at least 3 turns. So Stranger should be on his ANY power. Even though Cable/Deadpool may take out the Barrier they will struggle heavily with the Stranger himself.
