Nope, I heard it from Limbo's post as well! In fact, if you've got a take on this deck let us know! I'd love to see your build! Do you think it works as straight Purifiers or should it be teamed with Sentinels?

8 Purifiers
2 Mystique - Raven
2 William Stryker
2 Lady Deathstrike
1 Nimrod (Play Lion Among the Lambs after his recovery effect)
1 Bastion
2 Sentinel Squad O.N.E (Minimum 4 Purifiers in hand when he comes into play.)

2 Birthing Chamber

2 Origin Story
2 Lion Among the Lambs
2 Identity Theft
2 Purified
2 Common Cause

The problem with this build is that Birthing Chamber and Origin Story are DC. What do you think? Are there easy changes that fascilitate card draw?

Maybe Invasion Plans for Birthing Chamber and Uncertain Legacy for Origin Story.

I have got a build, in the mist and will be posting it during the week on TCG. At first I wasn't going to talk about the deck cause I wasn't even going to build the deck but an unexpected Instant Message lead up to the deck being built in less than an hour, tested 2 hours later, and then improved upon after 2 hours of testing.

All your questions will be answered on the article. Hopefully it will be up on Wednesday.

Oh no it is very close to some of the things posted here, but it has a bit more control feel to it rather than a bashing to the face feel. I also use DC cards but if you cut the DC cards and make it a 30 card deck it will look a lot like one of the posted decks.

Also I think Purifiers do need the help from character cards outside the team. Sentinel Squad ONE is a perfect example of this. I don't really consider him to be outside help since Bastion and Nimrod are dual affiliated with Sentinels but you get my drift.

I can't believe I didn't think about Squad one until weeks after we started the Purifiers thread. He's perfect for this team! And yes, like you I consider Sentinels and Purifiers to be one and the same.

One big difference between our builds (besides your meta cards that aren't really needed in the 100 ideas) is Lion Among the Lambs and Common Cause. A team-up might be completely unecessary and Lion Among Lambs might hinder our plan by not allowing our stunned Purifers to go to the grave.

We could remove those cards for pumps. I'm OK with running Uncertain Legacy over Call in a Favor since you'll mulligan condition is Stryker and UL can get Mystique if you have a Purifier in play.

What are some good options? There's no on-team pumps. If we kept in Common Cause we could change LAtL to Combat Protocols.

Well Uncertain Legacy doesn't help get Mystique with a Purifier in play:

Quote:
 
Search your deck for a character card with the same name as a character you control, reveal it, and put it into your hand.


That same name just ruins it for this intent.

I don't like Lion Amongst the Lambs because I rather have 2 dead cards in a 30 card deck than 4 dead cards. I would definitely swap them out for Finishing Moves. That way you don't have to worry about opposing characters recovering, or keeping them stunned, it's not like this is Marauders where the deck thrives on stunned characters.

Purified is a much more situational card than hidden hate, and we can use Out of the Darkness for such a purpose. We could also use Insect Swarm or The Uni-Power. I think Insect Swarm fits in nicely to bounce a Purifier to hand if the need arose.

If we leave Common Cause in, then LAtL can become Orbital Sentinal Base.

Uncertain Legacy won't work huh? Is it because she has all names and not just 'the purifiers'?

Uncertain Legacy won't work because she only has all names while in hand, deck, and KO pile. In play she is only Mystique.

Uncertain Legacy states:
Search your deck for a character card with the same name as a character you control, reveal it, and put it into your hand.

There is a difference between same name and sharing a name.
