So, I built a doom deck the other day with what cards I had. The first time I played it I had a good first couple of hands and was able to make it work like clockwork. The second time I couldn't get a doom to save my life and the majority of my plot twists I had were doom specific. So here's my question;

Is there any cards to help excel getting an actual Dr. Doom card out? I'd search the cardlist but I'm currently at work so I don't have the time to search through all the Doom theme cards.

Thank you!

There's a lot of cards that let you play as though you control Doom. I can only think of two at the moment, though.....

Doomstadt
Kristof Von Doom

Nope. There are several cards that count as Dr. Doom, but there aren't any that help you actually get the real Dr. Doom out earlier.

Faces of Doom gets him in hand for you, if you have Doomstadt or Kristoff already in play. Nothing will help to play him early, that is one thing in the game that is constant. Characters are locked into the cost=turn thing. An eight cost character will rarely be played, and a nine is impossible. (That is, if the opponent is playing to win.)

If you have Doomstadt in play, can you play Faces of Doom? Because that would be a good way to tutor for Dr. Doom.

that's what it's for. Enjoy.

Oh, I have plenty of Doomstat and Kristof Von Doom cards to put in my deck aswell as Victor Von Doom II, which also counts as controlling doom. I know you can't "play him early" I was just wondering if there were any cards to get him in hand so I could play him ASAP. I thought I had read a card that does such. Actually, I have two faces of doom in my deck and I totally forgot what they did. I know that it is very rarely that you'll get the 8 cost Doom out, the same goes for the best Magneto (my girlfriend was so close to getting to play him though!) Thank you for the help!

I got the 7 point Magneto out though and I did some crazy damage with him!

Yep. That AND the first time I played my Doom deck I didn't finish her off in the 7th round when I could have because I wanted to bring out my 8 cost Dr Doom and she defeated me! I didn't even see it and WHAMMO, dead. It was funny because I couldn't see the score sheet so when I didn't finish her I said "Oh... I only have 12 points left? Didn't realize that..."

Ah well, like all good villains I made a stupid mistake!

Doom does not make mistakes!! Doom is all-knowing! Doom let himself be defeated!

Anyway, another suggestion I might have... this would require a lot of retooling, but don't the Sentinels have a lot of character search cards? If you merge the teams, there might be ways to pull Doom and whomever else you need (Sub-Mariner) since they'd be Sentinel-aligned...

I'm not sure on the specifics of the Sentinel cards though...

that wouldn't work. The sentinel searching is limited to army characters. It could still get you the key Doom army guys, but not Doom himself.
