Has anyone proxied up the cards that will be coming in the last two months of DCX and the previewed MUN cards?

I'm curious to see if Stu's dearest fetish, namely the shifting of paradigms, is soon to be realized by the Vs Community at large. Namely the complaint I keep seeing about Cap 6 drop is that no one will make it to 6. I can't say I don't think Cap+Clash of Worlds+Cap's Shield won't have an impact on the environment. Hell, Loyal Patriot+Cap's Shield is going to buy a turn or two by himself. Still, the point stands: Untested weapons are as dangerous to a user as they are to an enemy.

So has anyone proxied this noise up to see how it works on the table? I need preliminary reports.

I think the general consensus is that it's best to wait until we've seen at least a couple weeks of previews before jumping the gun. No point in getting riled up while playtesting new cards; trying to hammer out problems that may not even end up being problems because of the existence of cards you haven't seen yet.

That's true, but there are already strategies being thought out on what we have. I mean, Avenging Spider Stall already has teeth. Sure, things may come out to 'eff' up the score, but between Spider Friends Stall Tek and Captain America+Shield you've already gotten a boost to one archetype. I think there's stuff to play with. Just curious if anyone actually... y'know... HAS played with it yet.

It's too soon to tell for the whole set, but as long as one card's previewed there's a card worth playtesting.

Getting to 6 isn't hard at all, especially with effects like the ones we've seen for Cap, all very stallish. Even fast decks in modern can be taken to six with relative ease, and there are very few fast decks in silver that make it so hard to get there.

I played on monday, every game saw at the least 6. I am waiting to see the N.Z. stuff before I start doing proxies.

I'm also curious to see how much play JLA gets as a mixer by virtue of Aquaman/Poseidonis interacting with Rally for consistent recursion and successful rallying. We also have to see what other Rally effects come out, though. Still, watch for it.

While I do agree that it is best to wait to see what else comes our way, only 2 of the 3 versions of the Cap that have been seen say stall, and well the shield also adds to that possibility and theme. Now with Charging Star on the menu 4 drop Cap is more than eager to become a defender, and use the shield in response. Yeah stall is coming to town. As for doing it in SA to include Spider Friends, well thats a whole new story. It all depends if it can out stall Heralds/Doom, IMO a very good stall deck right now.

The 2 drop Captain seem like a rush, off curve team attack to get big guys out of the way kind of guy. So I guess we will see different sides of the C. America, and decks that show those sides depending on the builders type of play once the set comes out.

Ideas are flowing from the cards seen but right now, I'm just enjoying the previews.

I'm not proxying anything up yet, since I'm still enjoying designing and studying, but I have a bunch of ideas and tricks waiting to trickle down the line...

And shadowtrooper... isn't your signature a lie?Good thing i'm not some silly robot facing down Kirk and Spock.
