So, up until now, I've only been adding suggestions to existing decklists. However, it's time to jump in the deep end and actually make some contributions. And what better way to start than with Insanity? Why so serious? (31 cards) CHARACTERS (19) Mad Hatter, Mad as a Hatter Calendar Man, Julian Gregory Day Charaxes, Moth Monster Tally Man, Tax Time The Penguin, Crime's Early Bird Great White, Warren White Mr. Zsasz, Scar Tissue The Joker, Out of His Mind Two-Face, Jekyll and Hyde Batzarro, World's Worst Detective Firefly, Burning Desire Hush, Silent and Deadly Poison Ivy, Pamela Isley Matt Hagen <> Clayface, Mud Pack Scarecrow, Fear and Loathing Scarecrow, Fearmonger Sondra Fuller <> Clayface, Mud Pack The Joker, Crazy for You Basil Karlo <> Ultimate Clayface, Mud Pack PLOT TWISTS (11) Batter Up! Batzarro Beatdown Beside Myself Burn Baby Burn Certifiable Jack-in-the-Box Kidnapping Money Talks Pick a Card Roshambo Usual Suspects LOCATIONS (1) Blackgate Prison, Maximum Security Since I had the whole pool of Arkham cards to pull from, I figured that I'd just stick with Arkham as the only team. In addition to Insanity, this deck plays with the Arkham non-adjacent characters and random discard sub-themes. The end result seems surprisingly good; as you can row any non-characters that you want to hold onto, and pitch the rest to random discard effects. Since you have 5-, 6-, and 7-drops that can be recruited from the KO'd pile, you generally won't have to worry about losing your late game curve to these discards. Personally, I wish that Arkham had a few more team-stamped pumps at its disposal. Otherwise, I think that Arkham Insanity has a nice blend of synergistic effects. Ironic, considering UDE's initial design for Arkham was to produce a team that has no synergy whatsoever! Thoughts? Edited by BigSpooky, Aug 1 2009, 03:21 AM.

I'm definately willing to let this deck be the only 31 card deck in the environment since it was often played as a 61 card for thematic purposes (you'd have to be 'insane' to run more than 60 cards). Otherwise I love it. There's very little card cross-over with the Arkham exhaust theme, which is another deck on the 'list'. The only two I see are Charaxes and Hush. Thanks! |

Actually, the vesions of Charaxes and Hush in the deck are different from the versions used in the exhaust theme deck. I'm adding Batzarro Beatdown to the deck to increase to 31 cards. It's not truly an Arkham-stamped card, but it fits the theme nicely. Besides, it gives the deck that much-needed pump! Edited by BigSpooky, Mar 20 2009, 02:35 PM.

Well both Hush cards probably go in the exhaustion deck, but I totally thought you had listed Charaxes, Drury Walker... my bad! Also, Batzarro Beatdown is perfect! This deck has a Batzarro, and it fits the discard theme. |

Why so serious? Because this list is final! |
