Grats on making KToW!

I'm inspired to play Emo Robin and Cassandra Nova as a "Harold and Maude" team now!

I think Robin and Granny goodness would be more like it.

Just a quick question, how does communication break down and back alley brawl affect Uncle Sams transporter ability? Just curious as to how the wording works.

Communication Breakdown allows the player who plays it to negate all modifications to a single combat value; in this case, he would declare that all attack values couldn't be modified therefore negating the -2 modifier when using the Trans-Move-Attack ability. This a BFC and lasts the enitre game.

However, Back Alley Brawl shouldn't be able to negate the modifier as using the T-M-A is an ability and I believe the +2 modifier from BAB is only applied when an attack uses no powers, feats or abilities. Not 100% sure, but pretty dern sure.

Nice wins, though, by the way!

Thanks a heap! the card reads "powers, feats or [i]team[i]abilities. My understanding from discussion I watched were that the move and attack ability falls into none of those categories, so it benefits.

EDIT: misread team build, never mind!

Gotcha. I don't have the card so I didn't have it as a reference. Although, I could've gone to heroclix.com, I forgot to do so. Next time, I'll do so.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I love Uncle Sam. I usually use Contingency Plan to help him out...but I like your idea better. Way to Go!

I'm a dunce. What was the Keyword?

Keyword: HERALD!

The "Super-Run-Fast Machine", otherwise known as the "Accelerator" is like sprinkles. It just makes everything better. I don't know that this team tackles as many opponents without it, but well played!
