Ok, so I have been able to get at least a playset of every Marvel Origins card (finally!). And our group is still determined to find a purpose for every card, so we set about to do this tournament.

Rules - Playsets (4) of every card in Marvel Origins (220), and make as many decks as possible out of those. With 880 cards, this turned out to be 14 decks.

For balance, every deck has either 34 or 35 characters and 28 or 29 support cards. So decks range from 62 to 64 cards in size.

The 14 decks are then seeded and a double elimination tournament is played.

For the first tournament, mono team decks were the higher seeds (alphabetical), then team up decks (alphabetical), and the last 2 seeds were Homeless (Unaffiliated) and Tupperware (all the Leftovers)

Marvel Origins Seeding
1) Brotherhood
2) Doom
3) Fantastic Four
4) Sentinel
5) X Men I (More original members)
6) X Men II (Newer members)
7) Common Enemy (Fantastic Four & Doom)
8) Heroes United (X Men & Fantastic Four)
9) Mutant Nation (X Men & Brotherhood)
10) Negative Zone (team up with Fantastic Four)
11) Skrull (team up with Brotherhood)
12) Unlikely Allies (X Men & Doom)
13) Homeless
14) Tupperware

in a moment, the results of that trial...

You got it, will have them tomorrow.

Spoiler: Tupperware got the remaining 11 Sentinel support cards but only 1 Sentinel character - Wild Sentinel. So mulliganing for him was key and I was happy to get him round 1. Using him as a Finishing Move with Orbital Sentinel Base and getting him back if necessary with South American Sentinel Base.

ELIMINATION MATCH!

#11 Skrulls vs #14 Tupperware

1) Tupperware recruits Wild Sentinel (the key to the deck!), Skrulls miss.
Wild Sentinel hits for 2.

2) Skrulls recruit Pyro, Tupperware recruits Invisible Woman (1).
Pyro activates for 3.

3) Tupperware misses, Skrulls recruit Phantazia (1).
Wild Sentinels Search and Destroy Pyro who activates in Reponse, trading 2 for 4.
Invisible Woman trades with Phantazia 1 for 1.

4) Skrulls recruit Sauron, Tupperware misses but flips Micro Sentinels targeting Sauron.
Pyro activates for 3. Sauron hits Wild Sentinels for 7.

5) Tupperware flip Political Pressure, since they saw no 5 drops in Skrull's hand when they Searched and Destroyed 2 turns ago, and they Recruit She Hulk. Skrulls laugh off the Political Pressure by recruiting Magneto.
Pyro activates for 3. She Hulk hits Sauron for 7. Magneto One Two Punches She Hulk for 6.

6) Skrulls recruit Super Skrull and flip Marvel Team Up - teaming up Skrulls and Brotherhood. Tupperware Reconstruction Programs for Wild Sentinel, but recruits Franklin Richards (1) and Invisible Woman (1).
Magneto trades with She Hulk 5 for 5. Pyro exhausts to Finishing Move She Hulk. Super Skrull attacks Invisible Woman and Discards to burn for 3. He also powers up twice to cause 13 damage.

7) Tupperware recruits Robot Seeker who is seeking Sauron. Skrulls miss.
Pyro activates for 3. Robot Seeker trades with Sauron 3 for 4. Super Skrull hits Invisible Woman, discarding again to burn for 3 and hitting for 13. Magneto swings for 9.

Skrulls ELIMINATE Tupperware 29 to -29.

No big surprise that Tupperware is the first deck eliminated, since they just have every card not in any other deck. But there are no complaints from their captain, since Wild Sentinels made the match both times.

The leftovers playing against monsters of green,
The Skrulls showed no mercy,
And then there were thirteen.
