Just looking at the cards, Does it make sense to play Kyle Abbot on turn 5 if you have initiative? On the plus side, he'll be 12/6 and you get to play a thugee or replace your probably KO'd Josef Witschi (Who maybe useless with the 4 drop Ra's out, or some equipment like that 4 atk boost one, The Shrike, Advanced Hardware or Personal Forcefield on Ra's. On the down side he's only 6/6 after turn 5.

I prefer Bane, Ubu for the well sized 9/9 that also has the great ability of being able to KO a stunned character, assuming he hasnt been stunned himself.

if your running a primarily Aggro LoA deck
then i'd use Kyle Abbot w/ a Shrike

but for a more balanced or strictly control deck,
i'd definitely use Bane instead

I'm also think I'd skip the turn 6 Ra's as the turn 4 is just too cool. Thus I could do turn 5-Kyle + twin firearms and turn 6 Bane + Shrike.

Nalyd- If your running Beatdown, then you WANT the 6 Drop Ra's out, since he can gives you new PTs to work with.

My thinking was that with cards like Hassim and the Shrike, which boost atk based on location, you would want your resource row on turn 6 to look something like this:
Flying Fortress
Tower of Babel
Lazerus Pit
Lazerus Pit
Lazerus Pit
Mountain Stronghold (To ensure either Lady Shiva or 8 drop Ra's. I figure the ability to only have one of each of them opens up room for more assurence of getting out your earlier characters as well as more plot twists to play from your hand.)

So having resource recycling doesn't seem that useful.

well this is of course
a close 2 perfect scenario, so u can't always expect this 2 happen
and its always possible 2 get rid of a ToB and Lazarus Pit
and hit a Savage Beatdown and Flying Kick
going thru your deck faster is always good
and while there r situations you don't want 2 get rid of your resources
there are others when it would be highly advantageous

If I didn't get the ideal, I also plan on playing 2 MSs by turn 7 anyway, so I could play one early. Of course a plot twist or two will often be necissary, but that wouldn't be the plan when possible, I'd also probably have a base of operations or two in the deck to covger my bases. I do agree that it is wise to splash a turn 6 Ra's or two into the deck because a deck should be adaptable. But I personally wouldn't plan on using him.
