=====

My initial comments (based only on above since I don't know deck contents beyond my own)

1. I look forward to watching Ronway do something interesting with both Jim's Hat and Utility Belt in play.  And with access to both Displaced Armory *and* Impromptu Invention I suspect that he can roll  (or re-roll) equipment out rapidly.

2. OX/Unity - I'm not sure what this will do.  Some sort of component/golem circus I suspect.  Timeshift power a good way to put golems in play without sacrificing equipment.

3. Grysql's Naturalist deck was in play last game and was a useful tank/support deck.

4. My deck is geared towards playing one-shots.  Lots of one-shots.  With some abiltiy to roll-out some powers and turn to those if hand size gets low.  Still intended as an attack deck for the most part though.

5. The Nightmist deck should be interesting.  The Parse/Legacy/... combo did pretty well last game, so I expect that this one will as well.  However, we don't have Greatest Legacy as a character with the useful Gung-ho default power.

Sorry! I have been too distracted playing SotM to actually sit down and work on the deck. I'll have it done within the hour.

 

Edit: And now i'm ready!

Interior, ULTIMATE Freedom Tower, The ULTIMATE Heroes are sitting around discussing how ridiculously OP they all are when suddenly:

-SMASH- 

"What was that?"

"It Sounds Like Something is attacking the ULTIMATE Freedom Tower!"

"What could it be?"

Exterior, a giant robot is attacking the ULTIMATE Freedom Tower, but it has a cockpit and inside. . .

"AHAHAHAHA!  Now you will suffer, ULTIMATE Heroes!"

"Oh no, it's Baron Blade, Piloting Omnitron!"

Comment: Sorry for the delay - Monday evenings are busy.

Not too familiar with Cosmic Omni-tron.  If I should skip drone clipping and just go for the big Bot himself only let me know and I will modify tactics.  I figure clipping the S-84's damage down a bit was worth doing in any case since it was a multiple target attack.

28

BOOO!!!

Stinking Heroes.

29

Hmm, I hope Naturalist can do some damage.

In Play:

Trash: Mistbound, Recompile, Extrasensory Awareness

Effects: Cards from the villain deck cannot be played until the start of my next turn.

30

So, the villain deck will be shut down for two rounds now. That should help, as long as the Explosive doesn't kill us.

31

If there is one thing you should absolutely not count on the Naturalist for, it is to deal damage. All is not lost, though.

Naturalistish

Omnitron-X draws Bee Bot and regains 2HP [24].

EDIT: No, belay those orders. OX deals himself 3 damage [19] and Timeshifts Expatriette of the Future.

33

Nightmist draws Heroic Interception and regains 2HP (18).

34

I just figured out what was going on with the flipping. We definitely want him flipped back, yay Omnitron-X!

35

Setback draws Sudden Contract. Then takes 3 damage [20], to use Looking Up to gain 3 tokens [7], and deal the EPE 3 damage [4]

36

Expat is timeshifted and reveals Energy Burn.  It is put into play and inflicts 4 energy damage on the EPE [x].

— back to Proverbs and Axioms —

Draw Ball Lightning.

Take 3 damage [21].  Use Load and play Arsenal Access - Reveal until Tactical Shotgun and Staff of Ra are found.  Put Tactical Shotgun into play.

(Thank you folks and well done.  :slightly_smiling_face: We appreciate the support.)

 

37

could make it really random if you have a d4 and just roll it each time?

38

I'm of a mind that non-Nightmist cards really should be 0. If you're going to give them numbers, then does that mean that all of the non-Tachyon cards in my deck should have a 50% chance of being burst cards? By gaining some of the benefits of other decks, we naturally lose some of the strengths of our own.

39

That's it for Proverbs and Axioms. Environment is up.

40

Sorry about that, let's go with the Environment turn:
