Thats a good card, but only getting +7 atk once can be a beyotch. I prefer to get +X multiple times with Heroes in reserve and Above the Law.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Wasn't Hawkeye the preferred 5 drop for the old Avengers deck?

I also think that one copy of Rick Jones is more than enough. I also think that the Ronins should be in there too. Free characters and free stuns are just to good to ignore.

I want to avoid using cards that are in the Secret Avengers build...
http://s11.zetaboards.com/vssystem/topic/7110069/1/?x=90

We should try to avoid those MUN cards. What do you guys think about something similar to Karl Brown's 2005 10K winner. Here's the list, but we could update it with some of Savant's suggestions, like Druid and Sub Mariner.

I do think it's important to have Hercules in at seven.

Karl Brown's deck:
2 Rick Jones, A Hero's Best Friend
2 Beast, Furry Blue Scientist
2 Dane Whitman <> Black Knight, Heroic Paladin
2 Natasha Romanoff <> Black Widow, Super Spy
2 Quicksilver, Mutant Avenger
2 Black Panther, T'challa
2 Carol Danvers <> Warbird, Galactic Adventurer
2 Hawkeye, Clinton Barton
2 She-Hulk, Gamma Bombshell
2 Wonder Man, Simon Williams
2 Hercules, Son of Zeus

2 Call Down the Lightning
2 Heroes in Reserve
2 Savage Beatdown

2 Avengers Mansion

Thoughts?

Let me say that I LOVE its simplicity, and the fact that it's so consistent without a searcher. Such an easy, yet powerful deck to play.

Scott, from your deck:

I would cut 2 Beast, 1 Mansion and 1 Hercules. You don't really need to hit 1 with this deck, and you've got Natasha to get rid of their 1 drops should they be around. 1 drops have to have a really great effect to be run or under-drop, and under-dropping isn't often necessary with this deck as you've got a LOT of characters AND Dane Whitman with his replace/boost business is better than an underdrop anyway.

Rick has such an effect and can be played for free, that's why he's allowed to stay in my books. Maybe you do want to add a copy of Druid and Namor, you have to hit on 4 and 5 to win well with this deck... they would add consistency whereas Beast really doesn't.

I'd like to turn the last two slots into Legendary Battles, because that card is the nuts in a deck with Quicksilver, Natasha and Warbird. You want to team attack anyway... why not BAMF! while you're at it. You really don't need a second Hercules with all the cycling you can do in the deck, and it always sucks to cycle into a second Mansion.

As always, that's just what I would do. Another favourite deck of mine. I'm really glad you decided to make more than 1 Avengers deck.

-1 Mansion
-1 Hercules
-2 Beast

+2 Legendary Battles
+1 Sub-Mariner
+1 Doctor Druid

There were onl;y 2 characters and 2 plot twists that were in both decks. If you want we can replace the Iron Fists with Beast and the Captain americs with The Falcon.

The Big Three can become Savage Beatdown/Legendary Battles, but I think that Avengers Reassemble should stay because it is the only search that makes since for the deck. Above the Law was not used in the other deck.


1's
2-Rick Jones (MAV)
2-Beast(MAV)

2's
2-Falcon
2-Natasha Romanov (MAV)
2-Dane Whitman

3's
2-Balck Pather(MAV)
2-Quicksilver(MAV)

4's
1-Hawkeye(MAV)
1-Dr. Druid (MXM)

5's
1-Submarinor(MXM)

6's
1-Wonderman(MAV)

2-Avengers Reasemble
2-Call Down the Lightning
2-Heroes in Reserve
2-Legendary Battles/Savage Beatdown
2-Above the Law
2-Avengers Mansion

I think the old school deck didn't run search because it used replacement effects to get characters into the row. As long as all the effects are replacement effects, you shouldn't need search.

If you force in Avengers Reassemble, then you have to force in leaders, which goes against the theme of reservist. Besides, the team-attack version of the deck is already a leader/reservist combo deck.

I think you got the card confused with this card,

Avengers Assemble!
To play, discard a leader character card.

Search your deck for an Avengers character card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Each character you recruit this turn with the same name as the card you revealed enters play with a +1/+1 counter on it.


This is Avengers Reassembled


Avengers Reassembled
Search your deck for an [Avengers Icon] character card, reveal it, and put it on top of your deck.

Boost - Discard a card: Replace a resource you control.

You sir, are correct! You can't see it, but I'm blushing!

Ignore my previous couple comments!

-1 Herc +1 She-Hulk

She'll help you hit the extra copy. Two Hercs isn't really necessary: he is awesome but if you don't hit him you can find something else cool to do.
