**Final List** 100 Ideas: Skrull Invasion; Multiple Affiliations

I'm going to be posting my 100 deck ideas for the community at large to help me refine.

Rules:

1) Only 30 cards allowed per deck
2) Only 2 of any card allowed per deck
3) The decks are limited to 2 teams (and unaffiliated characters)
4) All non-character cards need to refer to the chosen teams (or no teams at all)
5) On-team tutors and pumps and tutors should be used over generic ones (i.e. Legionaires should use New Recruits, not Mobilize)
6) Marvel and DC Universes should be kept seperate when constructing the decks
7) These are ‘Kitchen Table’ decks, not ‘Pro Circuit’ Decks. They can be competitive, but the goal is fun!

Give your guys as many affiliations as possible, then let them swing away!

2x Lockjaw
2x Blackbolt, Enemy Within
2x Franklin Richards
2x Wolverine, Skrunucklehead
2x Captain America, Skrull Imposter
1x Elektra, Pawn of the Gorgon <> Hydra
1x Super Skrull, Kl’rt
1x Titannus

2x Interstellar Offensive
2x Call to Arms
2x Mutopia
2x Extended Family
2x Invasion Plans
2x Exploiting the Flaw

2x Great Refuge
2x Tarnax IV

1x Quantum Bands

I took a slightly more undrop-ish approach to this popular build. I don't know how it will work. Anyone have success with this deck using any of the new cards like Black Bolt and Quantum Bands?

Skrullfan Edit:
-2 Warskrull
-2 Act of Defiance
-2 Sworn Enemy
-1 Crystal, Elementelle
-1 Ethan Edwards
-1 Paibok
-1 Quicksilver, Terrigenesis Rebirth
-1 Quantum Bands
+1 Wolverine
+1 Elektra, Pawn of the Gorgon <> Hydra
+1 Titannus
+2 Savage Beatdown
+2 Mobilize
+2 Exploiting the Flaw
+1 Tarnax IV
+1 Mutopia

Vs. Savant Edit:
-1 Mutopia
+1 Quantum Bands

Edit:
-1 Attilan
+1 Mutopia

OSM Edit:
-2 Mobilize
+2 Invasion Plans

Gambit Edit:
-2 Savage Beatdown
+2 Call to Arms

I will give it a go.

2 suggestions though

4 drop Lyja from MVL and 5 drop Xavin from MEV both are really good at their respective drops and add Flight and Range to the pool of characters.

This is basically a deck I run, but cut in half.

2x Lockjaw
2x Blackbolt, Enemy Within
2x Franklin Richards
2x Wolverine, Skrunucklehead
2x Captain America, Skrull Imposter
1x Elektra, Pawn of the Gorgon <> Hydra
1x Super Skrull, Kl’rt
1x Titannus

2x Interstellar Offensive
2x Savage Beatdown
2x Mutopia
2x Extended Family
2x Mobilize (because Skrull don't have an on-team searcher)
2x Exploiting the Flaw
2x Great Refuge
1x Attilan
2x Tarnax IV


I haven't tried it this small before, so I'm not too sure exactly how consistent it will be.
[confused] [blind]

Edit: Had to adjust the list a little, as I actually read the rules listed in the first post. Oops...

After playing through against a 30 card Avengers deck

1. No real way to take down high drops without Ethan
2.miss Franklin=scoop
3.As I stated Flight outside of your 1 and 4 would rock
4-I hit the teamups but to the point I missed a drop, I. E. 3 teamups in the row with no character to drop on 4.

It won 3 out of 5 games. That is Ok, bu the original prolly would've won 4/5 out of 5

I am willing to answer any questions.

Savant, would you mind testing out Skrullfan's build if you have time? Exploiting the Flaw seems like it will be amazingly good with Elektra. Once we know which one tests better, we can tweak it to better fit the 30 card format!

Shonuff man. Just by the looks of it I can tell the small problem about to many plots and not enough characters is still in effect.

4/6 team ups= Regular deck

2/3 team ups =half a deck.

But I will still give it a try as is.

Plus what are you gonna draw with Mutopia, more character you can't play outside there drop points and Locations and teamups.

Doesn't the regular build run 11 team-ups?

Mutopia (3)
Act of Defiance (4)
Extended (4)

That should translate to 5-6 for a half deck right?

Also, I don't think Mutopia is in there for the draw effect. Once Wolverine absorbs 5+ team affiliations, Mutopia teams them all up at once!

That would be correct, Mutopia is to get the affiliations from Wolverine online.
In a full deck, my typical drops would be:
Lockjaw
Franklin
Wolverine, flipping any team up to get Inhumans/Skrull online allowing character search
Cap and Black Bolt, flipping Mutopia for the affiliations
Elektra
Super Skrull to act as a bit of a wall should the opponent have a beat stick to try and finish me off.

As a minimum, Black Bolt would sit at a 5/5. It's been wonderful having him at a 9/9 on turn 5. The draw from Mutopia is simply the peppered gravy drizzled on top. [bounce]

It will be really interesting to see what you guys think of it.

I ran the deck through its paces last night against the same Avengers deck. This deck is the bomb. It won 4 outa 5 matches.

My only beef is that on turn 4 of game 3 I did not have Wolverine and I had 2 Mutopias, on in the row and one in my hand. Black Bolt/Quantum Bands and TarnaX was the saving factor on that game. So in retrospect the team ups are good, but if you miss Wolverine you will have 2 dead cards. BUt I doubt you will miss him often.

So you could replace Mutopia if you don't the draw and through in What If for more team affiliations. Or Birthing Chamber for pure card draw.

Electra is genius in this deck. She capped my opponents 5 and six drop 3 games in a row. And destroyed their 5 every game.


I was able to hit Captain America every game so he saved Electra from stunning which is haut. I wished though their was a way to squeeze in

1-Ethan Edwards
1-Image Inducer ( Like Quantum bands but Cheaper)

I like Exploiting The Flaw for the fact that you you ready Elektra to kill you opponents board, but you can't cause breakthrough. And that can take you into turns 6-7 which is really bad in a 30 card deck environment. I want to cause breakthrough with my 20+ atk characters, on the other hand if you had Franklin or Lockjaw it was cool beans because you can just attack with them to toss the attack over to Elektra.

Could Savage Beatdowns become Sworn Enemies without affecting the deck too much? Was it always easy to team-up with opponent's characters?

This deck sounded very fun. Leave it to a guy named Skrullfan to come up with a good Skrull deck! Who knew?!

Image Inducer isn't available for the hidden area, is it? And as interesting as Ethan is, I've never been able to squeeze him into a deck. Hence, I developed this build (but in it's big brother version).

Even with only 3 team-ups the deck does that well? That's totally awesome!

I know Attilan is a good card, but there's already 4 character searchers in the deck. Did you guys find it necessary when playing, or did you wish it were something else?

Personally, I'm worried about only running one Mutopia. You need Wolverine/Mutopia to hook up with all your opponent's affilations, which feeds Black Bolt. If Attilan is unecessary, maybe it can be a Mutopia.
