Usually I would wait for a blog post to groove on this, but it is just too much fun to wait.

I went to www.dacardworld.com and bought a box of Marvel Knights and a box of Marvel Team-Up with free shipping for 26 bucks total.

I took the Marvel Knights, Nina took the Marvel Team-Up. We played Sealed.

She built a Spider-Friends/Marvel Defenders/Underworld deck. I made Marvel Knights/X-Statix/Underworld.

We are having the time of our lives with these cards.

Right now it is 2 games each. I have been rocking the Black Magic with my rare curve of Bullseye 4, Daredevil 5 (two copies, one foil), followed by a foily Disco Shirt Luke Cage 6.

She destroyed me in the first game with Maddie Pryor/Midnight Massacre. It was a beautiful thing.

Try it yourself, this game is very much alive in our house.

(And now she wants to build an Underworld constructed deck. Any suggestions?)

Yeah, Barnes posted a Deck Called "Dead Man's Party" about a year and a half ago...it's awesome.

Just find room for 4 copies of the new Mystique 1-drop to pump Meatmarket and Satanna to humungous proportions.

PS

He also posted a deck called Inferno which was UW/X-Men Jean Grey Legend.

That's awesome too.

Thanks, I will check those out.

Maddie Pryor 6 may be the hottest card ever printed.

If you find Dead Man's Party...post the link, I can't find it.

Maddy rocks! wholesale KO effects are awesome

Indeed. I had forgotten how sick that can be in Sealed.

Not yet, but I did find the Myth of Maddie:

Smokin'.

Still haven't found the Big Spooky deck, but this one looks killer... without Meatmarket!

Sweetness:

Speaking of Meatmarket, look who saw him first!

Good times: http://www.metagame.com/vs.aspx?tabid=46&ArticleId=7986

This game will NEVER die.

I agree.

I have so many wholes in my collection...MTU, both Legends, LSH(cheap)...at one of the shops they have packs of Green Lantern...I buy 4 or 5 packs every time we play there.

In our small group we have NEVER done BYOT, Random Punks, Clones, Legends...

WE WILL BE PLAYING FOR YEARS even if production stops

MY BAD...it was EvilDave, not BigSpooky!

So then with all of our control I wanted a more beatdown-centric deck to see if it could stand up. This created the (I think more powerful) aggro mono-Underworld

"Dead Man's Party" (who could ask for more?)
4 Black Rose
3 Mindless Ones
4 MeatMarket
3 Blackheart
2 Ny' assa
4 Satanus
4 Madelyn Prior
1 Dormendus

4 Dark Dimension
4 Death's Embrace
3 Mobilize

4 Big Leagues
3 Dark Bargain
4 Midnight Massacre
4 Flying Kicks
3 Against All Odds
4 B.R.P.D. Device
2 Sutur's Anvil

Comments: The idea here is to abuse Underworld's oversized chracter theme. Tons of search, because search doubles as pump for the deck. It also lets the deck run safely and smoothly at 25 characters (I on rare occasions miss 2, nothing else). Meat is usually a 7/6 (I pull him up to 3 cards), and you drop either an 8/5 or 9/7 turn 4 (Midnight Massacre out the 9/7 if you can, otherwise just tap the 2). Satanus is always fully-sized, and Madelyne is there to KO the board if the game somehow goes past 7 (where I have my "token random 7-drop). Your characters are huge; and you have recovery effects; this makes you effective against both control and attack decks. B.R.P.D.s are to force Spiderfriends to use up their Level 12s; even then, they don't have enough tapdown effects (and almost none play attack pumps... 1 against all odds should always bounce them).

Truer words = never spoken.

where's the proof that the game will never die?

In your pants.

I believe we are talking about if "production" of the game stops we as true fans of a great game will still find ways and reasons to play
