Week 11: Mysticals or Psychics?

[Rurouni KJS]

One of these, it'll be. (Unplayed figs in red.)

Trigon 263
+ Protected 8
R Shazam 105
+ Protected 8
V Red Tornado 67
Wiccan 54
+ Alpha Flight 0
R Shaman 51
+ Alpha Flight 0
AV Moon Knight 38
+ Alpha Flight 0
=594 points. Mystical theme, with a cannon'd Shazam taking point while Trigon sets up behind Shaman's barrier. Wiccan's good for Enhancement early on before pushing to PC. Moon Knight may prove a potent tie-up thanks to an Alpha Flight'd 11 AV. If things get dicey, two medics should help.

Not sure what BFCs I should use. That's always the last thing I ever think about...

Or this one:

Proteus 190
+Protected 8
Emma Frost 107
Jean Grey 90
Psycho Pirate 70
Esme Cuckoo 50
Chamber 45
Cuckoo 40
=600 points. This one uses the tentpole as the TK cannon to tie down targets with Pirate or shoot them with Emma or Jean, depending on the sitch. Cuckoos draw fire and reroll stuff, Chamber just draws fire and ties up (someone's gotta do it) and Emma can heal if it comes to that.

Or maybe both of these, if I go to two venues. But one's gotta take precedence.

This all assumes no one brings colossals to shark our venue. That happens, I'm using Hal Jordan Spectre. Someone's gotta bring 'em a challenge.

The Mystical team looks like it'd be more competitive. I ran a similar team a few weeks ago.

However, the Psychic team looks more fun to play! I'd go with that one. Of course, as I said I just ran a Mystical team so I could be a little bias.

Looks like you'll have a good time either way! Let us know what happens!

I agree with Kenny that the Mystical team looks more competitive, but I think that the Psychic team is more fun, especially since a lot of those character you apparently haven't played before. Proteus is a wacky character that everyone should play at least once, if they can. Psycho Pirate is really annoying to deal with and can be moved into position using Proteus. Jean Grey's Running Shot and Mind Control combo is unique (for now).

If you aren't totally gunning for the event dial, you ought to give the Psychic team a try.
