That is a great challenge, but I cannot help. Does JLI4 use the 4 drop?

I'm personally a big fan of GK or My Beloved control decks.

Creeper really makes true GK curve viable, at least from an aggro and card draw standpoint.

I've been trying to find a way to abuse TDK without going off curve or teaming up, but so far I've been less than successful.

If only they had a team-stamped pump that worked with extra cards in hand. Then they might be a force to reckon with. :)

You reminded me! Here's a solid batcurve deck: http://metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=46&ArticleId=4472

There is a Child Lock with Big Bat at 7.
Looks like
4 Cosimc Radiation
4 Child
4 Alfred
4 Invisible Women
4 Mr. Fantastic
4 Bat Signal
4 GCPD HQ
4-5 Team-Ups
1 Batman, Dark Knight

Fill up the rest with GCPD Cops, Oracle maybe, Gordon, Tubs, Fizzles, PTA and BlindSided or Ant-Man(if room)

The basic idea is to lock the field with Alfred getting Child Named Valeria building a good bord stlling with cops. At 7 you drop Bats and with Cosmic Rads (either by Alfred or by Drawing them) you draw your deck to make Bats Big and swing away.

Post-lag. Check Milton's deck at the end of that article. You will be pleased.

GK Doom Is a really Solid Deck with tons of Tech:

Alfred/Boris
Robot Sentry/Spoiler W/belt
Batman WGD/ Oracle (starter)
Dr Doom /NightWing
Lady Shiva/Destroyer
Batman JLA/Doom
Azreal
Superman

Its got Alot of Denial and and Tech for Almost any Occation. Not to mention with Doubles of Doom and batman the Power ups with AoJ should be easy. Not to Mention Lady Shiva + Mystical Per is sweet.

This is what I use right now, I like it.

I played GK to day 2s at three PCs. Then they banned Overload. I've barely looked at the team since.

Of course, even then Batman was only ever a backup drop.

I have tried playing child lock in the past. It's a little too combo-ee for me. That and it usually bores me to tears. It can be very effective though.

I remember reading that article and seeing that deck. It is a very solid beatdown build. My only problem with that one is a personal one. Batman is only ever a backup drop.

I don't know why I've never built this deck before. I have played so many GK and Doom decks but I have never taken the time to build one. I have even played against them and thought it was a cool deck. I am going to take your advice and build it. It seems a little New Schoolish but I am sure it plays totally different.

Maybe that's my main problem. I keep wanting to build a GK deck with Batman as a primary drop. Batman is generally not the best choice given the alternatives. I just refuse to accept it though. Too much of a fanboy at heart.

the build im currently using for GK doesnt use any 2 drops. i just have cops at the position so i try to use alfred twice, once on 2 then drop him again on 2 to use on turn 3(that is if i get a cop on 2). after that i curve normally with creeper, cassandra, shiva, nightwing, azrael, superman. sadly the only batman i have is the 3 drop as a backup for combo decks.

I've played a My Beloved deck since DC Origins. It's decent enough.

Alfred - 1
Talia - 2
Batman - 3
Merlyn - 4
Lady Shiva (if you have even initiative) - 5
Bane (if you have odd) - 5
Ra's - 6
AzBats (if you have even) - 7
Lady Shiva (if you have odd) - 7
Superman - 8

It looks like loyalty is an issue, but I've often done well. Mulligan for either Alfred or Talia. Talia can do some great work finding locations, as they are the majority of non-characters in the deck (Mountain Stronghold, Metropolis, and so on).

This deck probably would have difficulty surviving a very fast metagame, however. I used it when games lasted longer (as of several months ago).

The motto of the deck is (after 3 drop Bats gets stunned), "Throw Batman in the Pit until Superman shows up."

Brave and the Bold!

Maybe you should try a GK/JLI team-up deck, with 4 Drop bats as your primary.

I played this for a while, and with his ability and Kooey's/reservist 5 Drops, it gets pretty sick. My drops went Alfred, Spoiler<>Wildcard, Creeper, Batman, Dinah. It worked out really well, with all the low resource pumps like Flying kick and Trial By Fire. You don't even really need to run team-ups, if you don't want to.

That's my take for a deck with Batman as Primary. Maybe we'll get a new Bats in the IC set. :)
