Ever since DC World's Finest was released I've had a World's Finest deck.With the possibility of going to the Mega Weekend in February, I decided to dust it off and see what new tricks everybody has come up with.Here's the deck:

Characters
1 Drops
Alfred x4
2 Drops
Krypto x4
3 Drops
Barbara Gordon x4
Batman, Founding Member x1
4Drops
Batman,Twilight Vigilante x4
Superman,LSOK x1
5 Drops
Superman,Man of Tomorrow x4
Cassandra Cain, Deaths Daughter x1
6 Drops
Batman, Cape and Cowl x1
Two-Face, Heads or Tails x1
Pyrogen x1
7 Drops
Superman, Deterrent Force x1
8 Drops
Kara Zor-El x1

Plot Twist
The Hook-Up x4
Bat-Signal x4
At Their Finest x4
Bat Got Your Tongue? x4
Soaring to New Heights x3
Best Of the Best x3
Impervious x3
Brains and Brawn x3
For the Man who has Everything x2
Chilly Reception x2

Nothing really groundbreaking, as far as a World's Finest build goes, but I would love to get some feedback and/or suggestions to streamline this thing so its at least ready in the off chance I can attend the Mega-Weekend.Thanx in advance.

At Your Service would be a really strong addition to the deck when you get your hands on it.

It'll help search for those one-of Batmans if you need them and can become any of the Supes/Bats PT's.

i run a similar deck

my suggestion is this

4Drops
Batman,Twilight Vigilante x1
Superman,LSOK x4
5 Drops
Catwoman, Jewel Thief x4
Cassandra Cain, Deaths Daughter x1

shes huge with 10/9 attack and adds to the control by making your opp discard whenever she stun a defender or adding even more cards to your hand.

LSoK is a big part of the WF deck, so max out Batman 3 and run three of Oracle, then build around that. Also, Kate Kane is great too.

I'd suggest a one or two cost gotham character, or a dual, so that you won't just end up having to sack Krypto if they stun him and Alfred out on 2, before your 3 cost team-up can help you get ole' Alfie off the board.

I would also suggest a single copy of Batman/Superman robot.

thats not out yet ._.

Actually, I've found that Oracle is too good at three not to play as your main. I think that you have to play her as the primary 3-drop, and shoot for Bats/Supes at four and five. Of course, with the new 5-drop Bats, you could conceivably go Last Son of Kryption of four and Batman on five. However, the new 5-drop Batman really isn't very good. From a damage race perspective, the 4-drop is much better.

I'm currently looking at two build options for the deck. First is follow the curve with Batman, Twilight Vigilante and Superman, Founding Member. Since Supes has Loyalty, hitting an early Team Superman character is critical. However, he seems to be better than Man of Tomorrow at five.

The other build option is Last Son of Krypton on four, followed by Twilight Vigilante on five with either a Batarang or dropping out Alfred again. This actually doesn't seem like a bad play. If you are off-initiative on five, you can exhaust their larges drop with Bats, forcing them to deal 1-on-1 with Supes with their smaller characters. If you have a copy of At Their Finest and Brains and Brawn, they won't be able to do much damage to you.

I really don't like Best of the Best or Chilly Reception. Also, I think Savage Beatdown may be better than Soaring to New Heights. With four copies of At Their Finest in the deck, you will usually be able to attack laterally without stunning. So you really want the extra two points of attack from Savage Beatdown to neutralize defensive pumps or pull of successful attacks up the curve.

Finally, I think that Indestructible might be good in the deck. It would probably only be a 2-of, but it could really throw off your opponent's game plan when they have to go all out to try to stun Superman, and you simply exhaust him to prevent him from stunning. I haven't tried it out yet, but it sure seems like a good fit for the deck.

I hope some of these observations helped!

well my friend runs
maggie sawyer 4x
alfred 4x
on ones cuz maggie is a self teamup for those loyal peeps.
on two he runs toyman or krypto, toyman draws ftw
on three however, i suggest u run batman, into 4 drop supes lsok five drop supes (cadmus is back in) and when u run six drop bats (or if u run four drop bats cuz u have to) you can sub in gordon and draw. without wasting any cards.

In my build i have batman in the 3 and supes at the 4 and then kate kane as the five 6 and 7 are batman and supes. I also play some clash of the worlds to keep them around all the time.

I gotta agree with you there.

My main issue right now is trying to fit all of the goodies from DCL into my WF deck. I love the new Batcomputer ... with Oracle, you get some awesome card draw/filtering.

I also find that I prefer Heroes of Two Worlds to FTMWHE ... seems like a card made for a dual-legend deck.

Kate Kane is okay. I think that she's obviously better in Silver Age; where there are some very threatening 3-drops. I suppose she could be good to stun Punisher in the Torch Abuse matchup. But, to be fair, that matchup is already so one-sided in favor of World's Finest that it doesn't really matter.

I view Oracle the way that I view Frainkie Raye in Heralds decks. There are two types of players: those who know that Oracle is the best 3-drop for the deck; and those who haven't played her enough to know that she's the best 3-drop for the deck. Considering how critical hand advantage is in World's Finest, it is fairly apparent why she's better than Batman at three - she nets you and extra card each turn while Batman (either version) potentially loses a card each turn. Between The Hook-Up and Oracle, you should never have a problem hitting every card that you need from turn four on.

Like I said, though, it is hard to ignore how good Last Son of Krypton is. I definitely plan on trying out the under-drop strategy (with Twilight Vigilante and Batarang/Alfred on five) to see if I can effectively mix Last Son of Krypton with Oracle.

Card advantage wins games.

Oracle > Batman

some cadmus lab for superman sounds good
