300 Point Modern Mystical Theme Team Help

[pupulesurfer]

So I was messing around and noticed this as 300 points and thought it would be interesting. What are your thoughts?!

Hot Loki - 122
75th Sargon the Sorcerer x3 - 171
All Star Squadron ATA - 6
299 points total.


I have a decent attacker in Loki, all have mystics TA, sargon will be able to actually attack well against anything 114 points and up, I can use sargon for 3 probs plus 2 theme probs, and finally all my sargon's have barrier so I will use the barrier like a double barrier team for loki to make sure she isn't attacked a whole bunch.

How does this sound - fun, annoying, some other adjective. One concern is outwit heavy teams - do I pretty much lose to those teams because they outwit barrier and then I'm done for?

well, what happens when ppl attack loki with a high attack. sure they have to re-roll al those times, but loki will just pass it off. when he does, you DON'T take mystics. the funny thing is, just send a brick over there. he hits hard and a sargon is gone. loki can't push, and the sargnons can't. if you want fun, awesome. also, if you play anyone with stealth-busting loki is in trouble. i've played against him lots of times and he needs bodies to throw at you. i took him down with puma.

Keep in mind that a Pulse Wave attack will ignore the Mystics TA. Human Bomb would be effective in dealing all Mystics characters 2 damage using his SP (Pulse Wave).

Also, a single Shadowpact character would be able to lend the new ATA to wildcards and allow them to deal damage to Sargon without penalty.

Poison would be the biggest deterrent to Sargon, as it could deal him damage without an attack, and he'd have to way to avoid the damage or retaliate.

Um...ppl won't attack Loki because she is hiding behind a wall of blocking terrain (or circle depending on the need).

Loki will not pass it off, she doesn't have Mastermind.

Heavy hitters at this point level will most likely 2 shot (not 1) Sargon so that's a couple mystics damage. Granted there are objects and whatnot but on average a heavy hitter will do 4 damage which doesn't kill Sargon.

Loki has stealth mid-dial so I don't think that will be used too much in the early game.

Good job on taking down Loki with puma - but you took down a different Loki than what I'm using...

Pulse wave is a concern but I knew that going into this team build. I haven't seen a ton of pulse wave though so maybe I will be okay?

I think the shadowpact idea is great but I don't see many people playing a shadowpact team or utilizing the ATA on a figure or two that they decide to use. However, your point is valid and is something to be weary of.

Poison as well is a good point but again, the only poisoner out there ATM that I see much of is Larfleeze and he takes up 2/3 of the point build so would he be that much of an issue?

Dr. Strange 149
Sargon x 2 114
Scarlet Witch 35

Better abilitys with Strange. Ability to hide behind Sargons who hide behind alternating Barriers and you have 3 Mystics and 3 PCers

I considered this option actually and I really liked it. However - I only have the Sargon's for this team!
