Since the LOSH is almost upon us, we'll be using the Keywords and the new Theme Team concept pretty soon. The Origin Keyword list is already out. I'll try updating this post with more links as soon as Wizkids publishes Keywords for the older sets. Our judges can print out these PDFs for use in our tourneys.
Themed Teams
When all characters on a force share a single common keyword among the keywords listed on their character cards and the force consists of at least three or more characters and one character for each 100 points (or fraction thereof) in the build total, the force is a themed team.
Themed teams receive multiple benefits:
• Themed teams receive a bonus to the roll to determine who will be the first player equal to the number of characters on the force.
• Themed teams may cancel one target battlefield condition during a game (this choice is made when battlefield conditions are revealed).
• For each three characters on a themed team, a themed team may use
Probability Control once during the game; place an action token on the
character using Probability Control. The token may not be placed on a
character currently taking an action, or a character that already has two
action tokens.
Singit ko na lang din dito Gian habang wala pa tayong LOSH Starter.
technically mga origins figs palang may keywords? Does this mean that for initial UHP practice tourneys, these keywords can only be used on ORIGINS figs? tama ba?
But Pat declared that we tentatively won't be using themed teams for the UHP, since Origins is the only set among the UHP-legal expansions with keywords right now.
Some improvised keyword lists have been popping up across the realms. I've updated the first post of this thread with some links to the new lists for easy reference.
Questions lang pala about the theme team benefits:

This means that when both players declare BFCs, I can either cancel my opponent's or my own BFC right? And because the wording is "during a game", and there are 3 games in a tourney, I can do this BFC cancellation in all 3 games am I correct? so technically, meron akong OD for the whole tourney? Tama ba?

Same as above, if I have 6 characters, I have 2 bonus Probability Control for all 3 games in a tourney. Tama ba?
Yeah. That's pretty much it. You're correct on both accounts. I'm not sure why you'd want to cancel your own BFC, though. It's not like you can save it for the next round by cancelling it with the Theme team.

...or better yet, don't play BFCs that will affect your team/strategies too! *ngiti*
teka teka teka, un cancel bfcs all 3 rounds in a tourney pwede gamitin? lakas ah! theme na ko lagi niyan haha
Oo malakas nga, pero finding a keyword wherein all the pieces that have it are solid pieces is another thing. It's a real challenge creating a team that's balanced based on one keyword, unless the keyword is a team name, like Avengers, X-Men, etc.
One of the links listed above is very useful. As of now, Teens, Avengers, Justice Society, LOSH, Scientists and Soldiers seem to form formidable themed teams.
I tried making a Soldiers theme team with Winter Soldier and some Blackhawks. Right now R Falcon is the only flier I think. It kind of lacks mobility. Unfortunately I won't be able to play tonight, so di ko masusubukan ung Scientist theme team na ginawa ko last weekend. But if hindi cancelled ung HSS powers for tonight, I'm telling you, Teen is the keyword of choice for me. Supergirl, Valor, Wiccan, Triplicate Girl, Jakeem. A lot of the other Teen figs are pretty kick### as well.
