This is the first set I can remember that has much better nons than U's.


Outside of Doom, Wolvie or the Prof, I don't want ANY of the U's--in this tourney or otherwise....

While we're on the topic of lucky card and figure combos, consider this one:\

Doom + Power Dampening + Nova Blast.

There's not a lot that can counter it, if it hits.

Somebody somewhere is going to get Nimrod with Nova Blast. After the Nova blast nurfs most of a team, it will just be clean up for Nimrod.

Continuing the tradition of interesting reviews...

I agree on 99%. I think the Mad Thinker could get another star. I've found PC to be a huge, huge advantage in Sealed games. And willpower makes him able to move anywhere you need him, or bat clean-up. For his price, I like him.

LE Green Goblin sounds pretty interesting. If you are facing a Mystics T-bolt with him its a good idea to push when on his Toughness clicks. Take a retaliation click and get Willpower to prevent you from taking any push damage.

And I'm interested in seeing Cain in action - or any Juggernaut for that matter. Cain will certainly do better since he can be carried and he's going to be Lockjaw's best pal if you get them both. But without any transportation Cain may have some trouble getting across the board since he ties up over half you team's points.

Is it Saturday, yet?!?!?!?!

Well i hope i don't blow all my luck the weened before origins.



Last Sealed I played in was a Hypertime Sealed event.


I managed to kill the kids flash and he got so mad he threw it across the room.



Then the Judge told him he had to go pick it up.


I guess I did technically play in an xplosion Marquee, but the only people to show up were myself, and my fiancee, so that was that.

Only if they get to use it. Nimrod’s biggest weaknesses are his price tag and his status as a grounded fig. Nova Blast won’t do as much for him if he gets tied up by a 30-point Lockjaw long enough to put him past his starting click. From there, he's going to have trouble even getting them to sit still in his 5-square Nova Blast range.

I don't think Nova Blast is going to effect Nimrod or any other figure that much this weekend.



Playing a one figure army is hard enough--without giving your own figure 2 clicks of damage. (3 on a push.)



For it to "cripple a team" as someone is sure to say it will, the player playing against Nimrod would have to be a complete idiot to let all of their figures get that clumped together against such an obvious combo--especially in a sealed tourney.


It just isn't going to happen.

Power Dampening plus any of the Juggernaut's could be brutal. Especially Cain Marko. With 10-11 clicks, plus Impervious, plus steady defence....ouch. He'll be brutally hard to take out when he's only taking 1 click at a time, and keeps his higher defence longer.

The Vet with a wildcard keeping him healed could last almost all game long.

For instance, no one would use them that way, but V Iron Fist or U Wolverine could keep a V Juggy healed easily with power dampening, plus has regen to keep themselves arround to heal, and help with crowd control.

Can you perplex over 3 damage with powerdampening? And even if not, it can still combo with experts and SS, right?

You can use Super-Strength, because that's increasing the damage DEALT, not the damage value. The same applies to Critical Hits. Perplex, RCE, and CCE (plus Enhancement, SHIELD TA, and BCF rolls over 3) all modify or replace the damage VALUE.

great reviews.......very useful.

Thanks Phantom, makes sense.

man, that would be a great marquee team...

V iron fist 71
U wolverine 71
V juggernaut 154

296

i thought a good team would be...

U wolverine 71
V hawkeye 84
V dr. strange 110
R scarlet witch 35

i think yours is better, however dr. strange is gonna mess up alot of peoples marquees.

BTW what about spider-man 2099, he's not gettin' any love that figure is awesome!!

cheers

Hey Lobo, I sent you a PM before, I think its probably time sensitive so if you could answer it soon that would be great. Thanks.
