Basic premise of the deck is to go off between 4-6 with team attacking nightcrawlers. I have a full curve against people who aren't playing exiles / have Out of Combat Stuns. Since this list is plot-heavy and I'm underdropping, moonstar is pretty obvious. Black Manta adds consistency and enables the turn 5/6 go-off turn (depends on if I need to recruit cyclops or not).

That's another thing: SttG-ing cyke, turning Nightcrawler into Cyke and having him use concussive force and bypasses uniqueness for the next nightcrawler.

Then there's also the Exiles survival kit. Thoughts?

I would think your mulligan is Moonstar. Why not 4? Looks like it would be fun to play

ok, I can add a 4th moonstar. What should be taken out? a copy of UM?

I think I would take out a copy UM. Hopefully Moonstar will rally for it and you would just need an extra 1 for protection against resource hate.

I really like the life gain aspect you mixed in.


Black Manta - LOYALTY??

Only an issue if he hasn't hit UM by turn 5. However, since
your turn-5 completely nerfs you if you miss, I'd say that keeping UM at 4, and potentially adding an additional SHRA would be the right move.

My opinion would be to cut 1 Concussive Force (you can't play it till turn 4 anyway) and 1 For Great Justice. With STTG, Messiah Complex is your better option for life gain anyway.

good point. Without having played this against Exiles though I'm kinda' scared that I won't have enough lifegain. UM definitely won't go below 4x though; the team-up is important yeah and also it can help preserve my team-attack combo.

If it seems like meeting the loyalty for Black Manta isn't going well enough, I can either add a copy of SHRA or maybe find an alternate 5-drop too and take out a copy of FGJ in either case.

I appreciate the help guys.

Clever.

How does this deck fare against things that... aren't Exiles?

-Run

well I figure it shouldn't play too differently from the quicksilver avengers team attack deck of old; if there isn't too much out of combat control I'll be fine. otherwise I'd need to stockpile PA's like it's my job to break through to get the combo off.

Avengers team attack of old!!! one of my all time favorite decks to play. I am seeing it to...COPY PASTE PRINT yep I just NET DECKED it thanks I will let you know of any changes I come with.

OSM have found a Jolly Rancher orange soda yet? I am going to try the Green Apple next. It was one of my favorite Jolly Ranchers when I was kid...if it is good I might change my screen name to GREEN_APPLE_SODA_MAN LOL

TTL

I'll 'prolly order one online. lol. I'll be sure to give you my full critique on it once that has happened.

And I should 'prolly get to sleeving this deck too =/

hey what do you guys think about cutting loose instead of savage?

follow the the leader to ready cyke?

that's another thought. That said it's a dead card in a bunch of situations [like if I only have 1 copy of concussive force or if there's no cyke in play]. I can try it though ... dunno what to cut though.

Thumbs up for Cutting Loose

Now that there's a decent chance at me getting my clashes before Super Sat NY, I might put them in instead of CtT, if just because getting someone in the yard (other than SttG, I'm trying to use that as a Search anyways), it might not work as often as the 100% assured thing that clash offers.

That said this means to use Cyke he actually has to enter play, which means the combo could be delayed a turn.

So here's how it breaks down:

Pro
+ consistency

Con
+ required turns if using Cyke

thoughts?
