Bless you Mechachu! You have officially made my evening my friend. Arkham Inmates again, hmmm...very nice indeed. Hopefully this means Insanity is returning in DCL.:devious: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Well if they're trying to increase the power level of each set they might as well re-release one of the most powerful (team-stamped or not) cards in the game.
I can only hope that they don't re-release Roy Harper. If they do I will be kind of sort of upset.
Hopefully this means Insanity is returning in DCL.
I doubt it. Since there was only one keyword in MVL I seriously doubt that Insanity will be the one they bring back for DCL. I seriously hope we see Reservist in DCL....I think it would be fitting for some of the JLA's reserve heroes (i.e. people outside of the Mag 7).
As you said Bacon, I imagine "Loyalty" is the only keyword we'll find on characters in this set, Reservist is actually decently confusing. Hans seemed to have some difficulty with it, and he's a very high level player.
I just hope 3rd time's a charm for the Inmates. Oh, and that they at least keep draft somewhat in mind for this set.

Yeah...that's true, I suppose. But, ya can't blame a guy for having hope.;)
Insanity may not return in DCL, but mark my words. It shall, return Mwahahahaha!!!:laugh:
I'm hoping Vicarious Living, Secret Origins, Slaughter Swamp and STTG make it into DC Legends. Silver Age Insanity needs those generic tutors! Maybe a team stamped Poison Ivy (2) also.
They mention Deathstroke and Ra's ... [well, they mentioned Deathstroke in earlier releases] ... considering tht size of Doom's team in Marvel Legends, they could easily go with a few "small" teams.
Deathstroke and League as small teams built around a single legend, the two hero teams of JLA and Titans that have a lot of legends, likely built like the Fantastic Four, with most characters having minor legend status, but some "multi-legend" cards that reference the trinity, the flashes, the lanterns, the mag seven, the original titans [dick, donna, garth, roy and wally], the 'new' titans [cyborg, beast boy, raven and starfire] and the young justice alumni [conner, cassie, tim and bart]. The villain teams on the other hand will each have one major legend [joker and lex] with some minor legends as back-up [each of the AI big names could easily get at least one non-character card as support, and a few versions at different drops would be nice, and the Society has some legendary guys on it's roster like Darkseid]
That would put it at 6 teams, about the same as Marvel Legends ... Deathstroke would hopefully be a bit bigger than the Shi'ar ... but they could perhaps go without unaffiliated characters in the DC set to make room for it.
As far as keywords go ... I heard that identity and dual affiliation might be back ... ignoring boost, leader, reservist and ally will already limit the reprints available for the teams in the set, namely JLA and Society, but there are a ton of stuff they can still do. It seems almost impossible to reprint JLA stuff without bringing back Ally ... but that may just mean an entirely new theme for them [which wouldn't be that bad, as Good Guys didn't really use the mag 7 other than the plot twist of that name.
