2 Havok - Age of Apocalypse
1 Caliban - Pestilence
2 Cyclops - Age of Apocalypse
1 Mr. Sinister - Famine
1 Dark Beast - Age of Apocalypse
2 Abyss - Age of Apocalypse
1 Apocalypse - Age of Apocalypse
2 Sunfire - Famine
2 Apocalypse - Mutant Messiah
1 Apocalypse - Age of Apocalypse
1 The Beyonder - Inhuman

Plot Twists:
2 Burn Rubber
2 Pleasant Distraction
2 Prismatic Shield
2 Optic Blast
2 Call in a Favor/Mobilize
2 Messiah Complex
2 Concussive Force

Equipment:
1 Cloak of Levitation


The only Modifications were to take out any DC cards and add in Marvel versions of them or better. Then Lowering the number of cards to 2 where necessary and removing cards that would not matter, like Omnipotence and Meltdown.

I really think this deck has what it takes to make it all the way, A neat play in fishing the deck was to exhaust Havok to play Framistat for free on the turn that he was going to be exhausted to his effect anyway.

Peace out yall.


Scott Edit
-2 Crowd Control
-1 Framistat

+2 Primsatc Shield
+1 Burn Rubber

I was very torn between brians build and a survival of the fittest build. This does look solid though!

Homerj mentioned playing a version on ep. 74 of THRC. Wonder if he'd have any suggestions?

I love this deck. It's one of those decks thats really refreshing, cause it's new and different from everything else.

One thing I don't understand is, why the deck runs 2 copies of Crowd Control and only 1 copy of Burn Rubber when Crowd Control asks for a discard? In fact why use Crowd Control at all when you can play Duty Calls and avoid the discard altogether?

Duty calls is a DC card, adn the deck you are looking at is tweeked a bit, But I pretty sure the Crowd Control is their so that you do not have to exhaust anyone to reinforce, therefor giving you a chance to attack back if necessary. Blanketing reinforcement is a tad bit better than single reinforcement.

Prismatic Shield and Graduating Class are both good for-the-turn Marvel reinforcement givers if you aren't a fan of the discard.

what about no retreat no surrender for a reinforcement card free reinforcement and if you want to discard for invulnerability you can, or run poker night and if its in the resource row it lets you draw a card

I think Poker Night was avoided because it only works for one attack. Havok will likely be your only visible character, and since he can't be stunned, if you can also give him reinforcement for the whole turn, you opponent can't do anything!

Yeah, it would have been cool to fit in all the 'rider' plot twists, but there' no way to do that in a 30 card deck!
