Overload SEEMS to be the answer to brother beats, but unless you plan on using your own Savage Beatdown on my character, it will be useless. I only pump up to "just-under-overload" strength.

heh. Stu, bad monday for you huh? Dont you mean overload?

Well at anyrate, personally I dont believe overload is obselete. It is quite good, in my current enviroment anyways. lots of TNB's out there. Overload definitely a life saver (especially since Im running doom)

Actually, when I am this cloudy in the head, it is a good Monday. (edit complete, thanks.)

Yeah, you could pump them to just under overload, but then I could add a Flying Kick to their attack in order to stun them. :)

What makes you think this card only works against TNB? Slap an Advanced Hardware on nearly any 1RC to 2RC character and they're prime candidates for Overload.

The slightly bigger ones will require another pump but you know your opponent's just dying to use Flying Kick.

The only deck I've considered using Overload for is Skrulls - basically targeting your opponent's characters with the Skrull Soldier ability then Overloading them. In theory it might work as a defensive tactic on turns when your Skrulls don't have intitiative, but I haven't had a chance to test that theory yet.

Other than that one situation, I can't think of any reason why I'd run Overload.

And as it's been mentioned before, attack a defender, Nasty Surprise it, Overload it and re-ready your attacker for another attack.

There are tons of uses for Overload... it slices, it dices...

Yikes, kinda aggressive today huh Zaxx? I didnt say that it only works against TNB. I was only commenting on the fact that in my local metagame there are many TNB decks so Overload is a good for me.

Im aware that there are many other ways of pumping up characters offensively.

You should just chillout a lil bit.

Actually, I'm thinking you're a tad oversensitive today.

I'll make you a deal: I'll read what you write wihtout finding a way to take it personally in exchange for you doing the same.

FYI: I was responding to Stu.

NOT SO FAST, both of you.

Not So Fast makes Overload obsolete.

You're kidding right? Only decks which depend on ongoing plot twists are going to maindeck Not So Fast; it's the answer to Foiled.

Not kidding, try 4 Not So Fast in your brotherhood bigdog and call me in the morning.

Still, Stu, Overload isn't obselete. Sure you can counter it with not so fast, but everything has a counter. Overload is a great card against some decks, and useless against others.

Just because your pumping you characters to just under twice their printed attack doesn't mean you won't get slapped with an Overload.

*plays Overload on this thread*

*Not So Fast, Torch*

Well, Not So Fast is the only "real" counterspell in the game so far... but I understand what you mean.

I love the fact that everyone is planning to waste their Flying Kicks to put me over the edge for Overload.
Bring it.
