Now that decks like GLEE, GLock and AGL are no longer modern, what decks will you guys be running for DCM?

i'm goin' JLI.:devious:

Good Guys, and I think we'll see a few Shadowpact and Villians United decks perform well, then again thats just me.

I think it will be the first format where there is little rush/burn and is more focused on curve.

Right now I'd expect everyone to run JLU(f*ck that stupid name good guys).

Since its the only tried deck. But, I mean come on, thats like 3 months from now. So I'd expect to see some decks crop up from now til then.

But my gauntlet would look something like this.

JLA ally
JLU (JLI/JLA)
Injustice Burn
Secret Society Recursion
JSA
JSA/JLA
Checkmate (some contraption using either the robots or the knights)
Villians United (Vengeance based)
Shadowpact(running the various magics, with Zatanna/Shazam as the finisher)

Not to mention the rogue decks that will get attempted using the starter cards(Batman/League) plus all the legacy content to go with it. Since Gotham and League got quite a few cards in Crisis.

This is just a quick run down. Anyone got an opinion.

I'm likin' the secret six alt-win, butthat's more golden-jank than anything. If I had to pick 1 deck though, it would be a deck with shadowpact. straight shadowpact would be really hard to do and live to turn 4 alive. I'm likin' the villains-pact control my friend made.

I agree on the secret six idea. I think its more of a golden age or silver age idea. I don't expect it to pop up majorly in DCMA. Oh, I'm sure someone will try it, but he'll get crushed, unless he's somekinda of deck building wiz.

And shadowpact shouldnt have any problem living until about turn 4 or 5 in DCMA, as long as the player doesn't go over board with the life loss gig.

I think Villians United could be possibly one bad ass deck. Especially if you can power out an Arms Deal.

I also think a weenie JLA/JSA deck has possibilities. T Spheres is just amazing.

Ouch, S6 Modern Hating going on...I don't know why it wouldn't work in Modern. Apart from Lanterns in Love, the build I run doesn't use anything outside of DCR as it is. May not be great, but really won't lose much.

Think Checkmate can try for a DC version of CS?

VU all the way. Even in sealed, w/ limited resources to back it up, the Vengeance ability is insane. In constructed, I shudder to think.

-B

Secret Six wouldnt work cause of cards like Transmutation floating around. This card is amazing, and its #1 target would be secret six victorious.

I think DCMA will primarily be an on-curve set. With a few off curve decks popping up (JLI, JSA, or JLA or any combination of the two or even all three)

Lol, it does need a more intimidating name.

Mmm How about JLI with Multiple Fate Artifacts. You could load up a guy with 3 Artifacts and add a second amulet with Steel. Wham! 2 HUGE Bodies at 5!

Janktastic!

How about just World's Greatest Heroes.
Or we can start calling Common Enemy "Some Good Guys and a Masked Bad Guy with a Butler".
And BnB "Good Teenagers and Some Adults"
New School can be called "Gloriously Good Bad Guys with Some Butlers' and Their Sons Who are the Friends of Spider-Man and are Sometimes Fearsome"

Or we could call New School "Midnight Sons" and pretend that every and all team-up decks must be named after the team-up they contain, as opposed to what the builder feels like naming them. And party like it's 2004.

Well, in the case of Good Guys.....the name sucks!
