We want Engine of Destruction gone, correct? Should I take it out with an RPG Launcher?
And what are the high-priority targets? Impulsion Beam seems like one.
One request for the moderator: Can you mark any nemeses that appear? I had to look up Argentium and Highbrow just now to make sure they weren't relevant.
I'll try to remember to do that. One thing that will help me (and I'll edit the most recent status to reflect it) is making sure I stick ALL the nemesis effects in the ongoing effects header.
I realised that with Impulsion Beam in play, there’s really only one play that makes sense.

Expatriette discards Hairtrigger Reflexes for Constant Prattle and draws Tactical Shotgun from Team Leader.

Anyone have a card play they want? I'd prefer to play Alacritous, but can play Inventive if we think a power is more usefull this round
I have a Psychic Maelstrom that wouldn't be a hateful play, but I can wait till my turn again if someone else needs to get set up or the like.
Constant Prattle put Mass Levitation in my trash. I drew Precognition from Team Leader.
Bunker discards Maintenance Unit from top of deck and draws Heavy Plating.
My deck seems to be speaking to me,and the words it's saying are TANK . . . I think I'll probably hang out in Recharge Mode and Heavy Plating for a bit once I can, lots of Vengeance stuff targets the highest HP.
Proletariat:
Start: Proletariat character card deals itself 2 psychic damage.
Play: Share in the Struggle reveals Overwhelm the Mighty before finding 2 more clone cards, which are put into play. Overwhelm the Mighty is shuffled back into the deck.
End: The five Proletariat cards in play deal 2 damage increments to Bunker [25], Tachyon [25], Visionary [24], Bunker 23], and Tachyon [23]

I'll wait for Visionary before running the environment & Baron Blade turns.
I'm pretty sure Visionary was planning to play Psychic Maelstrom.
Yes, please! 2 psychic to all non-hero targets and don't forget that Proletariat actually takes this damage, since it's psychic.
