Probably i should have followed the whole Golden Age-King thing and looked over the 100 ideas, but i wanted to try it on my own first.
So feel free to put the finishing touches on this build(can i say it this way?).

1-drops
4xThe Penguin

2-drops
4xIQ
3xCaptain Boomerang

3-drops
4xLex Luthor, NP
1xLex Luthor, MM

4-drops
4xThe Joker
2xFelix Faust

5-drops
3xCirce
1xFloronic Man

6-drops
3xScarecrow

PTs
4xAll Too Easy
4xPower Siphon
4xCriminal Mastermind
4xMobilize
4xPathetic Attempt
3xOmnipotence
4xDeath Trap
4xSecret Files


Hope that the links will work. I know that 99 % of you don't need these links, but when i was a beginner to the game, i would have enjoyed something like that.

EDIT(Vader):
-4 Infernal Minions
-1 Circe
-1 Scarecrow

+4 The Penguin
+2 Secret Files

(Guglio, Scott)
-2 Lex, MM
-2 Injustice Gang Satellite
+2 Secret Files
+1 Boomerang
+1 Death Trap

I'm not that experienced so i'm asking you. ;-)

1. Penguin is great, i just didn't know that he exists. :-D Thanks!
2.Cut Mobilize for Secret Files? Erh... No? I have better ways to give my opponent more handcards.
3. Scarecrow, Circe out, Secret Files in... better consistency... pretty evident.
Thanks again!
4.Why should i play another Luthor? I really want the 3-drop to stick around for the whole match.

1. Luthor might not make it to turn 5. 5-drop can be more useful when you are up against stall decks, which often use a variety of activate effects... and it's only 1 copy, not usually a problem.
3. Mobilize is better than Secret Files. Costs less, no discard necessary, and if you are flooding your opponent, they won't be missing any drops anyway. I'd run both, maybe run 2 fewer Luthors on 3?

Death Trap is useless.

You'll never want to play Fluronic Man on 5. Circe on 5 and then Scarecrow on 6 is the best play.

You should be running 4x IQ and 4x Captain Boomerang, and then 4x Lex from DJL and then 2x Lex from DCL. DCL Lex is strictly inferior to DJL Lex.

4x Mobilize and 4x Secret Files is next. Then fill in the rest.

I think I'd swap Floronic Man for Circe. If you're going for hand flood, Circe's a decent burn, and works on the defense or offense. FM doesn't strike me as that useful if you have odds, as unless the location requires a cost to flip, or they are depending on number of face-up, I don't think it's going to bother the opponent much. In fact, if it's a one they need to activate to use, you might wind up giving them a free activation, as they can just put it down as that turn's resource. And if you're feeding them cards, a character buried by the replacement probably won't be a huge deal. Obviously if you have evens, they can't react to it.

I'd put FM in a build with other forms of resource hate. It seems like a distraction in this deck, and not enough to effectively do any serious damage to the resource row.

Death Trap useless? Why that??? It was always good, when i drew it.
There are definitely characters i want to get rid of.

Floronic is in, because i fear some locations wrecking my plan.... As bkwrds said, a one-of doensn't hurt a lot.
Of course is Circe, Scarecrow the best play. IQ on 2 is the best play too, so why 4 Boomerangs??? I know that DCL Lex is inferior... and he is going down to two.

What locations could wreck your plans?

Death Trap is useless because you're better off attacking with the guy you'd be exhausting.

Bkwrds was arguing 1 of for Lex Luthor, Metropolis Mogul, which is a good 1 of since he shuts control decks down. Fluronic Man doesn't. He hurts Checkmate or League of Assassins, which if you're playing against a good deck of either, will probably have already killed you, or put you in a really bad position.

@Guglio
You should have noticed by now that i don't have ANY clue of the meta here.
But i THINK i have seen more locations than character's payment powers or equipment( except WMA) that is a thorn in my eye. That is probably because i just don't know the threats you think of.

So you think IG isn't good at all?

I never said that. I play IG often. I'm just saying that teching a copy of a character that only hurts two decks is useless when they are both capable of doing damage to you before turn 5.

Having played against your deck...and many decks like it and played the game for years I have to say that I agree with a lot of what people are saying...however I still like Floronic Man as a 1 of but think he should be replaced with HAB or Death of a Dream in a 2 of....You need a way to deal with Omni
