Newbie here. Love this mechanic, wonder how the vets feel about this one...

coolness!

I for one am excited to use this new mechanic. It allows creativity, because it is not just about matching keywords, you also have to check if the actual characters are playable together in the first place. You'll be hard-pressed to try and meet the requirements for a theme, and still construct a competitive clix team. The benefits are good as well. Who wouldn't mind the built-in Probability Control, Ordinary Day, and ability to choose the map?

One thing though, looking at the Origin Keywords, E Shadow Thief and RE Catman don't have keywords. What gives?

This is GREAT! Incentives for building comic accurate teams! Woooh!

yup i think it's an added bonus for people to be persuaded to create more comic influenced themes..

Hahah about time they gave a bonus to teams that play well using a Themed approach.

Love the following keywords Legion and Mystical. hahah

And...do my eyes decieve me i Saw the keyword GREEN LANTERN! YEs!?!? That ought to put more usability in a team playing only with Green Lanterns!

EEEEEXCELLENT...

Hmmmm .... not to float our boat(much). we've been putting in THEMATIC formats for more than a year now at ATC. Comic adaptations (Age of Apocalypse, Civil War, JLA/Avenger), Revamped TEAMS(including ODDball teams like New Warrior, Flash' Rogue gallery, etc), unusual concepts (RPG-campaign style tourney). Everybody's invited, u don't have to wait for Wizkids.

At any rate, still an excellent move from WIzkids. If somewhat belated.

Very Good yan! un lang bow thank you.

hell yeah.. you dnt need the mechanic to field your themed team..

you can play them any time you want.. the ATC tourneys are a great way to try them out since this venue supports theme play the most!

Just to add to that, you don't need a mechanic OR a format to force you into fielding a themed team. Sa G2 naman meron niyan, if not all. Take a look at Gian for example. Pseudo CSA, Bat Allies, etc.

I'm just wondering if the prob bonus will apply with the CSA as well coz if it does, WOW.

I sure hope it does. Even with a REALLY small selection of figs, the CSA theme team can be even more competitive with that mechanic.

Thanos would have to roll at least 4 times just so he can hit a CSA character.

The Anti-Matter JLI? You should see my VS Deck. It has them AND the CSA together! Really nice.
