Sentinels Deckbuilding: V is for Vengeance.

General GTG Events
1

Heroes, you have defeated all those who threaten our planet, from Massive Mechanical Monstrosities to Peerlessly Powerful Pirate Platoons, and even a Sadistic Sleeping Summoner.

 

But rumors of your success have spread, and now challengers come to test your strength, and now you must rise up again, to Fight for Freedom, to Vindicate Victims of Vengeful Villains, and to prove once again that no matter how convoluted convicts card-combining capabilities carry them, they will never have the Dynamic Deck Designing Dexterity that Defenders of Decency Do.

 

Sign up!

All players will need access to the vengeance Expansion, and will be expected to run a villain deck as well as a hero deck.

You may choose to design your villains deck or use one I design.

 

Villain Rules:

1.  V5 villain + one other villain deck.  

2.  No (H) icons may be on cards used.

3.  Any Mini-Nemesis in your villains deck whose Nemesis Icon is in the game must be in your deck.

Villains:

Blade Squared:  Oaktree

Friction of the Flock:  BlueHairedMeerkat

Ermine, the Silent Hunter:  grysqrl

Plague Train:  Kharnel

Proletariat, Luck of the People:  Phantaskippy

if you have a preferred name for your villain, let me know and I'll change it

 

HEROES:

Oaktree:  Expat/Visionary/KNYFE/Unity

BHMK:  RA/AZ/Fixer/Wraith

grysqrl:  Naturalist/Fanatic/Setback/Nightmist

Kharnel:  Greatest Legacy/Chrono Ranger/Tempest/Sentinels

Phantaskippy:  Omni-X/Tachyon/Haka/Parse

Environment:  MDP

(Incidentally: I'm using pre-errata Matriarch. She is gonna be fuuun...)

3

you realize there won't be any on destruction text, since we are using the V5 character cards.

4

I claimed my heroes.

I'll wait for 24 hours until I finalize rosters, or until a fifth signs on.

5

I do. You underestimate me, sir.

6

Okay, so I read through the first four of these and it seems like a crazy fun time. If the spot is still available, I'd like to give it a whirl:

Grandpa Legacy (main)
The Argent Adept
Tempest
The Sentinels

As for the villain, I was thinking Spite Train, but I need to work on that one a bit.

7

Ok, from what's left, I have randomized Setback, Fanatic, Nightmist, and Naturalist. I'll come up with something using those four. Not sure who the character card will be yet.

8

Naturalist is the character card (again...I know).

9

Nightmist and setback. . . if you don't worry about the spell numbers Mistbound, Mistform, Heedless Lash and Elder Ring have value, Setback though. . . that could be rough.

10

Mistbound would normally be nice, but I think it's going to be less effective against V5, since I can only pick one deck. I thought about Mistform and Elder Ring and opted against because there were other things that I wanted more. Astral Premonition is in, though.

11

Actually, I think I'm going to swap in Chrono instead of Argent. And I've got a pretty mean Plague Train deck going (I wanted to do Spite Train but the meanest drug cards all have H) 

12

plague train is insane, I prefer Iron Legacy/Train myself.

13

Well, I'll defer to you since you've built these before and I'm good either way. I imagine Iron Legacy cards make everything more terrifying, lol

14

Actually disregard that, I was thinking wrong.  IL is chock full of (H) cards, Plague rat is a far better option.

I would request that you leave out the infections, as there will be no built in way to get rid of them.

15

Yeah, I didn't include Infections. There are a couple cards that reference searching for infections and playing them, but I figured that part can either be disregarded or effectively just be shuffling the villain deck.

16

List updated, we will be playing on the MDP.

Please construct your decks, I will send a PM to the two of you that I am building decks for with the cards to remove and replace shortly.

17

I look forward to seeing Proliterate mixed with all the additional citizens… I mean comrades!  :wink:

18

No Citizens, going a very different direction with that, you'll see.

19

Hey! Why is Baron Blade wearing one of those silly Guy Fawkes masks?!?

20

Since I saw how hard a V-5 game was to follow on the BGG forum I put together a "status block" to show HP for targets and also a list of effects to be taken account for. I will update it and paste it in again after Baron Blade and Expat act.  (And this might be the best way to keep track of the game state.)
