They trade 1 for 1.

5) SK recruit Quicksilver, MN recruit Avalanche (2). Mystique hits Avalanche, who is reinforced, but then Blind Sided for 7. Quicksilver Savage Beatdowns Nightcrawler for 13, then readies and trades with Sabretooth 5 for 5. (Great turn for the Skrulls)

6) MN recruit Colossus, SK recruit Super Skrull.
Colossus and Sabretooth team attack Super Skrull, who discards to burn for 3, and trade 6 for 6 (Colossus stuns). TURNING POINT OF THE MATCH -> Skrulls flip Friendly Fire, so Colossus and Sabretooth do not ready.

7) SK recruit Magneto (5), MN recruit Wolverine.
Magneto and Quicksilver team attack Wolverine, MN desperately flips, activates, and KOs two subsequent Genoshas in the hopes of getting some defensive help. No such luck and they trade 7 for 5 (Quicksilver stuns), Super Skrull hits Sabretooth for 10, discarding to burn for 3 as well. Colossus pouts.

Skrulls win 9 to -15.

Skrulls against Mutant Nation,
Teaming up mutants with those they hate,
Friendly Fire led to a Fall of the Mutants,
And then there were eight.

And now, one of my favorite matches to date; Fantastic Four vs Doom

Fantastic Four's pilot is my youngest (8 years old) son, who only began playing them because they have the Hulk (his favorite character). Doom's pilot is my oldest (14 years old) son, who has been playing them from the beginning (he loves the bad guys).

1) Nothing happens

2) DM recruit Boris (1), FF recruit Mr Fantastic.
Boris passes and Mr F hits him for 2.

3) FF recruit Medusa, DM pass.
Medusa hits Boris for 3, Mr F swings for 2. Boris is KO'd as a liability.

4) DM recruit Robot Enforcer, FF recruit Invisible Woman.
Robot Enforcer attacks Invisible Woman with 2 Micro Sizes bringing her to 4/6. My youngest calmly places another Invisible Woman to block the attack and seriously upset Doom.
Invisible Woman hits Robot Enforcer for 4 and Mr F and Medusa swing for a total of 5.

5) FF recruit Thing, DM recruit Robot Destroyer.
Invisible Woman hits Robot Enforcer for 4, Thing hits Robot Destroyer for 8, Mr F and Medusa swing for a total of 5.

6) DM pass (worst hand for Doom ever!), FF recruit Hulk (again, his favorite character that was in the opening hand, and why he flipped no resources all game).
Robot Destroyer hits Invisible Woman for 4, causing the first damage to the Fantastic Four.
Thing hits Robot Destroyer for 8, then Hulk, Medusa, and Mr F swing for 25.

Fantastic Four win 46 to -14.

It was nice to see Doom taken down a peg, but it was only their first loss, and I don't expect that junk hand ever again.

Wolverine yells It's Clobberin Time on Invisible Woman for 4, Human Torch and HU's Invisible Woman each activate for a total of 8. Mr Fantastic hits Wolverine for 4, She Hulk attacks Invisible Woman, who removes her invisibility counter.

6) NZ recruit Blastaar, HU miss (OUCHIES!)
Blastaar's free stun is Invisible Woman for 1, who activates for 3. Mr F hits Wolverine for 4. NZ Invisible Woman hits her brother for 5, he activates for 5. She Hulk and Blastaar swing free for a total of 16.

7) HU recruit Thing (5), with everybody in the front row, NZ plays Surprise Attack for 5, then recruit Annihilus.
HU Charges and Thing hits Invisible Woman for 4, Human Torch trades with She Hulk 4 for 4. Annihilus free stun is Thing for 5. Blastaar powers up and swings for 13, Annihilus for 16, and Mr Fantastic for 7.

Heroes United standing tall,
Against those who from the Negative Zone they leaven,
Dastardly Duo strikes strongly again,
And then there were seven.

And then there were five.
