BYOL was a secondary event and as such I hadn't really given much thought to what I was going to play until about 2 weeks before the event. I figured I'd be playing in it even though it would probably be starting at the same time as the top 8 from the Main Event, in which my Spider Friend/Moon Knight deck went 2-3.

Ultimately, I decided I liked Deadpool too much not to play him. So Deadpool it was, but what should I do with him. Do I go Bosom Buddies and do Double Legend with Cable or go for the Party Pooper on 5. How about neither! I went all out and went for Party Pooper on 4!

Without further ado, here is the decklist:

4 X Longshot, Earth-Mojoverse
3 X Blink, Earth-295
1 X Mr. Sinister, Robert Windsor
4 X Beast, Dr. Henry McCoy
4 X Deadpool, Earth-5021
4 X Vision, Earth-10101
1 X Dr. Doom, Richard's Rival
1 X Predator X, Genetically Engineered Monster
1 X Wolverine, Unleashed
4 X Deadpool, Party Pooper

4 X Enemy of My Enemy
4 X Time Breach
4 X Trouble With Clones
4 X Invasion Plans
4 X We Can Rebuild Him
4 X Legion Lost
3 X Pathetic Attempt
2 X Omnipotence

4 X Weapon Plus Satellite

Round 1 - Gabriel (Hope I spelled your name right) - Deadpool/Cable

Deck functions perfectly and I drop Deadpool on 4. He has initiative and he has no choice but to team into Deadpool. On 5 I Double attack and leave him at a precarious 4 endurance. Just a note: I should have powered up! He gets ready to scoop but says there may be a slim possibility he could still win. I was at 43 by the way. I'm thinking there's no way, so we chat and I told him that if there was a way he thought he could win, let's play it out. On 6 he shifts out Cable 6 drop and recruits Mystique 5 Drop from MEV. If uses her power to give her both the name Deadpool and the X-Force affliation. Apparently he top-decked the one card he needed, We Can Rebuild Him and beegan to draw his entire deck via a Siphon Enery/Black Box/Techno-Organic Virus/We Can Rebuild Him combo and then recycles half his deck over again. Since I managed to keep an Omni on Bosom Buddies he proceeeds to play cutting loose on both Cable and Mystique/Deadpool 50 times giving both +100 Atk for the turn. With no way to reinforce, I lose.

0-1

Round 2: I can't remember this match but I know I won

1-1

Round 3: Spencer - Kang

The deck works beautifully again and Deadpool hits the field on 4. I had never played against, or with for that matter, a Kang deck before but I knew he had a negate card in his aresenal somewhere but I wasn't sure what it was called so I opted to leave the Omni in my row face down. Fortunatley for me, he does not go and get Kang 8 Drop and Deadpool is successfully recruited. He attacks with Kang/The Captain into Deadpool and proceeds to power up 9 times. I power up so he searches for another Kang and powers up again. I happened to have 1 last Deadpool in my hand to avoid the stun. I finish it on five with a perfect 50 endurance still intact

2-1

Turn 4: Dillon - Dagger (Who the heck plays a Dagger Legend?)

The was an extremely cool deck that Dillon was playing and I think with some mods could be extremely good. He dropped Dagger on 1 and attacked into my Longshot and did NINE damage thanks to the likes of Mega Blast and Flying Kick. I continue with my strategy and he drops Stick on 2. On 3 he plays Wolverine, Agent of Shield/Hydra and attacks directly with some pumps.
On turn 4 it's my initiative and I'm sitting at 14 endurance trying to figure out how I'm going to overcome this huge deficit. Deadpool hits the field. He opts not to drop his 4 drop Elektra but instead replaces the hunted character by KO'ing him to uniqueness. I flipped Weapon Plus Satellite and put him in the negatives. With not enough pumps to overcome the 25 point deficit he scoops.

Dillon and I played again for kicks. I showed him my opening draw, consisting of Beast, Deadpool (3), Deadpool (7), Trouble With Clones, and Weapon Plus Satellite. He scoops.

We shuffled up again and this is where is got interesting. He managed to get to turn 5 and dropped the 5 Drop Captain Amercia from MVL. Fortunately I had teched in a copy of Mr. Sinister the morning of the event and searched for him via EoME. I dropped him instead of my Predator X. He team attacks into Deadpool to keep me from attacking and we moved to 6. I We Can Rebuild Him targetting Mr. Sinister and shift him into play and recruited Wolverine naming Captain America as I just wasted my Legion Lost to attack the hidden area on 5. He replaced Captain America again to get out from under Mr. Sinister's oppresive hand. Unable to stun anyone I couldn't ready and he had both Wolverine and Elektra to the face. I scooped.

3-1

Overall not bad. My thanks go out to everyone who had a hand in the thought process behind the deck as well as Carlos the Dwarf for actually loning me the 20+ cards I was missing for the deck.

Thanks for the report, Chawie.

Quick question: Is this a figure of speech?

If not, how did your opponent manage that?

Absolutely not! That was freaking literal.

He Shifts out Cable.
Play We Can Rebuild Him shifting Vision drawing into Techno Organic Virus
Play Techno Organic Virus drawing 6 cards and discarding non-plot twists
Play Techno Organic Virus drawing 6 cards and discarding non-plot twists
Play We Can Rebuild Him shifting Vision drawing into Black Box
Play We Can Rebuild Him shifting Vision drawing into Techno Organic Virus
Play all possible Cutting Loose and or Bosom Buddies
Play Black Box putting Techno Organic Virus and 2 WCRH to deck
Play Black Box putting Techno Organic Virus and Cutting Loose to deck
Whenever necessary use Siphon Energy to duplicate Black Box, WCRH, or TOV.
Repeat until the entire deck is in hand or KO'd pile
Use Siphon Energy to duplicate Black Box to put TOV, Siphon Energy and Cutting Loose into deck, draw a card.
Play TOV drawing the last 2 cards.
Play Cutting Loose
Play Siphon Energy to duplicate Black Box to put TOV, Siphon Energy and Cutting Loose into deck, draw a card.
Play TOV drawing the last 2 cards.
Play Cutting Loose

Wash Rinse and Repeat. After a couple of time I just told him to tell me how many times he wanted to repeat the process. He said lets make a even 50!

Absolutely freaking incredible and even though I was on the loosing end fun to watch.

If you had powered up it would have left him with 3 endurance which would have meant that he could only give Mystique either the name Deadpool or the X-Factor affiliation, not both.

Either way, it was a pretty insane deck from Gabe.

Actually, thinking about it more and more I'm convinced he wouldn't have even needed Mystique to be named Deadpool nor did he need them teamed up. He took the match with Cutting Loose which just targets two characters, regardless of name or affiliation. He technically didn't even have to use her power. He tried to kill my Omni prior to the combat phase to get access to Bosom Buddies. I Pathetic Attempt and flip my other Omni naming Bosom Buddies again.

And even if he had access to Bosom Buddies because I named Cutting Loose with the second Omni, he wouldn't have needed the name Deadpool because I couldn't reinforce. He wouldn't have needed to ready to win. All he had to do was hit my Deadpool for massive breakthrough. To win the match on 5 I would have needed 4 power ups and I only had 2. To win on 6, I would have had to name Techno Organic Virus with my second Omni. He probably would have started the combo in response to my flipping Omni and just put a Have A Blast! or Death of the Dream back into the deck to draw into, before I could name Techno Organic Virus. Either way, once we hit 6 I believe my fate was sealed.

Sad panda, loosing because of a power up. Been there done that. Although in my defence it was because I was badgered the entire game.

I am glad to see that the deck worked as well as it did. In hindsight I think you could have lessened the # of reaction plots (Omni, PA) for Savage Beatdown, or any other attack pump.

That had been a thought but I couldn't afford to allow the disruption. Fortunately no one I played against, I'm am not sure if anyone brought him, was Spider-Man. I had to have a way to keep Deadpool ready so the triple attack could go through.

I'm planning on working on the decklist some more for pure GA to see how much of a busted deck can be built from it without the restriction of all the Deadpool cards. Ought to be fun.

do you have to have Deadpool, Earth-5021 shifted with all three counters before turn 4 to get the 7 out on 4?

That or already in play. You're early turn options are:

For the combo to go off on 4 you need:
Beast in play
Deadpool, Earth-5021 in play
Deadpool, Party Pooper in hand
Trouble with Clones in hand
Weapon Plus Satellite is optional but allows for extra attacks

By turn 3, you have 6 resources available but have only used a max of 5 at this point so you have some options. Beast may not hit play till 3 if you managed to shift out Deadpool with all three counters already. We Can Rebuild Him as well as Blink can provide additional resources.

Some keys to this deck's consistency:
Use Time Breach to thin the deck of your small drops.
Use We Can Rebuild Him/Vision to draw as often as possible though you could save them if you need to shift out a Mr. Sinister, or Deadpool
Use Invasion Plans to thin your deck.
The earlier Beast hits the field the better. Turn 3 PA, Turn 4 Omni, Turn 2 Invasion Plans. Fun times.

Dr. Doom is only there if you happen to miss the combo on 4. When this happens it will probably be due to the lack of a plot twist considering your character search options.

... Which is why Blink, Earth-295 is probably on the Council suggested ban list.

That's one of those things that you don't want to have happen to you when you're in a room with younger kids, cuz you'll be like [censored]
LOL!

Edit - though it only contributes to consistency.

PS, I love it

It's the 1 drop blink, not the 3 drop. Just FYI.
