Originally posted by Dark Knight69 What?!?!? Curve dominated everything until the breif stint with Light Show. Phantom Phone Booth did well in one major event and I'm speculating that a lot of that was due to that player's skill than deck power. Titans ran over Superman with little problem.
Squad is Marvel's answer to the JLA.
1. Hyperion = Superman
2. Dr. Spectrum = Hal Jordan or GL's
3. Whizzer = Flash
etc, etc, etc.
That's exactly what I remembered. The Phantom Phone Booth deck flashing Phantom Zone at Titans and CS like boobies during summer. Too bad so few players invested time in playtesting and improving that deck, which might still do good in the metagame since Dr. Light is running around.
And Titans running over Superman is true. Yet so soo sad.
I know that SqS is a parody of JLA, but what I mean to say is that I've never heard of them ever, until they were released in the Avengers set. Unlike Superman who everyone and their mother knows.

And I recall an old Metagame article about UDE specifically not wanting to make popularity = power. It's GOOD that Superman isnt' the "be all, end all" of good decks.
'Here's why we ruined the game; take our words and believe them because you've all spent too much money not to believe what we tell you - and we ain't gonna say we screwed up are we!'
How did they ruin the game? The only issues I see with the game is some of the players. So they got rid of two cards. I don't like ban lists. I hate them. Banning three cards in all these years. I can be alright with that, as long as it does not keep going. I miss Overload. One change, and it would be fine. Target attacking character. It would be a fine card to stop rush, and if someone wants to waste all of their pump cards (that do not say target character you control) to use in in defense..fine. I never did see why it was banned. JLoA, I will miss it, but I can live without that one team up. (I used it in a real team deck, but it can be replaced.) And ARB, well who knows what is going to be out in the next set that could see that one card abused.
Let's see where they go with it. If they start banning cards every set from now on, I think I can find a new game to play. One card every three or four sets, I might get grumpy.
[i] I actually consider the fading away of the "need" of tournament decks to have a single or perhaps two team affiliations a refreshing change.
Secondly, the sky isn't falling, EomE is not destroying the game, and if anything the utility it provides pushes deckbuilders further into a greater realm of creativity.
If anything destroyed VS it was the prevalance of single affiliation decks during the height of Curve Sentinels.
That was horrible.

And it's thinking like this, making this game go down hill. People who want to toss the very theme this game was based on, so it can be more like Yu Gi OH

So curve dominated everything early on? So what? What does that have to do with anything?
If you UDE wants to redeam themselves, all they need to do is make a Orgazmo set. Maybe a Mighty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail set...mmmm Rabbit with big pointy teeth goodness.
Have you ever PLAYED competively during the Sentinel era? It's the age where Lucky noobs rip cards and beat pro's because they're luckier. *Sentinel on sentinel*
Part of the game is luck of the draw. Why it's a CCG and not an RPG or a game like Hero Clix where you pick your team, and use them when and how you like.

Curved Sentinels dominated until about what Septemeber of last year, October perhaps? Avengers came out and the reservist deck beat them pretty good and then Squad came out and just trashed Sentinels. Of course there was a brief stint where a deck called Light Show dominated everything but one quick errata changed all that.

Oh that's right, there's no luck in Dungeons and Dragons, Final Fantasy, etc. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Those games are almost equal in luck base.

Wow, I never got ran over badly by titans w/ PPB, sure they'd win most of the time, but I tweaked the deck to what I believe was a 50/50 while still being viable v CS.
Bad titans players could never really wrap their head around Clark Kent in response to Roy....it was funny when it worked. That and harrasing w/ blue.....and phantom zone on top of all that...man those were fun days.
Peace is a lie, There is only Passion
Through passion I gain strength
Through strength I gain power
Through power I gain victory
Through victory my chains are broken
The Force shall free me.
