Coast city is there to force your opponent into attacking either Deathstroke or Samurai (depends on your formation really) Ive managed to nail the burn aspect really well.
Deathstroke attacking into the curve and burning for a possible 12 (4 stun, 4 vengeance, 4 Shmidt) on turn 5 is nuts and really puts the opponent at a disadvantage.


Also Ishmael is adorable.

Let me know what you'll think.

I really like the deck. I'll have to give this one a try since I own most of the cards except 3-drop Silver Samurai. I think you should try some of the changes I've made. Changes have a star (*) next to them...

Join Us or Die can be good for defense if you use it on 5-drop Red Skull to give adjacent characters +3def for the turn. Since your teaming up with Villains United you will only need 4x The Calculator, Noah Kuttler and 4x Coercion. Playing with more team-ups is unnecessary and can give you bad draws. Enemy of My Enemy will work out better than Mobilize since you don't have to team-up to use it effectively. Code White will allow you to recover leader characters (Red Skull) for free. Using more copies of Silver Samurai will help you substitute him on turn 5 more consistently. You could play with 3x Silver Samurai by replacing 1x Coercion. Fatality can help you out against Weenie/Rush decks. Liz Sherman is an alternate 7-drop that burns for 8 endurance which may help out more than The Calculator.

When i built this deck i decided to abuse the three drop dr. light to allow the science spire and baddest of the bad. Here's my list:

Alexander Luthor (1) x4
The Calculator (1) x3
Ishmael Gregor x4
Dr. Psycho (2) x2
Dr. Light x4
Deathstroke (4) x4
Sinestro x1
Red Skull (5) x4
Dr. Psycho (6) x2
Hunter Zolomon x1
Deathstroke (7) x1

The Science Spire x4
Coast City x2
Revitalize x4
Savage Beatdown x4
Coercion x2
Return Fire! x4
Baddest of the Bad x4
Join us or Die! x4
Blinding Rage x2

Dr. Light can dump Luthor into play to search for a drop if necessary and allows the abuse of VU's best card The Science Spire. Revitalize on turn four can keep your board alive to maximize burn from Red Skull. Return Fire! can really add up the burn off init. Finding Red Skull is never a problem thanks to BOTB and Spire and Sinestro can really mess an opponent up combined with Join us or Die!

Terrible idea: Add Revenge Squad for Hidden Agenda. It's a backwards ghetto Join Us Or Die! :p

You do realize Enemy just rotated out of silver?

You didn't say anything about this being silver age format, that's why I threw them in there. Since it is, I guess Mobilize could be used in place of EoME. Just make sure to throw in a 4th copy of Coercion.

3x Coast City

This is what I've been play testing lately. 3x 3-drop Red Skull and 3x Silver Samurai is more consistent with the subbing on turn 5. Crossbones is just amazing and his effect is real easy to pull off. If you attack down curve you can force your opponent to reinforce is smaller guys, then have Crossbones attack directly for 8 if your opponent controls no ready visible characters. Not only that, but Crossbones has substitute, so on turn 7 if you have 7-drop Deathstroke in hand you can remove the 4-drop Deathstroke to sub-in Crossbones, then recruit your 7. I figured having an alternate 6-drop could be helpful once in a while, so I threw in Alexander Luthor. He has a decent effect of drawing 2 cards and a BOOST 1, which allows you to put 2 characters into play with cost 3 or less from your hand... imagine 2 copies of 3-drop Red Skull and 5-drop Red Skull in play! Finally if the game goes to turn 8, and assuming you have evens initiative, The Sleeper 8-drop can win you the game.

The Sleeper, Doomsday Device ~ Raid
Cost: 8
ATK/DEF: 20/15
Flight/Range: Range
Ability: Reservist [Crime Lords] characters you control can attack opponents directly and can't attack characters.

This deck is friggin epic.

I can't beat it at all.

I'm having a lot of trouble with beating this deck
Damn you Mechachu

i may be wrong here.. but this deck seems golden age...

if so... shouldnt your 5 drop be sinesrto <> Green Lantern of Korugar...?

it allows a sure stun for even mor endurance lost... adn then... it alwo allows any attacker your opponent controls to be stunned.... seee.. it might work,... what you think...?
