Overview

Have you ever had that feeling when you know you’re trying to make the impossible work but you get so close that it’ll bug you to death if you just give up on it? Well, that’s what this deck fix has been doing to me for about 9 hrs straight now. I had always wanted to build a burn deck but never really got around to do it and this e-mail from James was just the excuse I needed to start working on another fun deck. = )

Everything was going great and I was really pumped about where the deck was going. The original concept was combining Pyro and Quicksilver’s (3) abilities with Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, which allows you to ready an X-men character but they can not attack the turn you ready them. I could have careless about the draw back because this location works really well in a burn deck because it’ll allow you to use Pyro or Quicksilver (3) twice a turn and to make the deck more consistent you have Forge and Advanced Hardware.

Sounds like a good concept doesn’t it? But what happens when I’m in the middle of putting this deck together? My brain begins to wonder off and comes back with a really, really silly idea and here’s how things went.

Brain- Hey Q!
IQ – What?
Brain – You know what would be really cool?
IQ – Other than turning all of humanity into purple monkeys?
Brain – Yup.
IQ – No idea, what do you have in mind?
Brain – You know that card Mutant Supremacy?
IQ – hmmm… that really bad 5 cost Plot Twist that no one in their right mind would ever use?
Brain – That’s the one!
IQ – o.0
Brain - ^_^
IQ – >,<
Brain - \m/ ^_^ \m/

IQ – So you want me to build the whole deck around that card?
Brain – yup yup yup
IQ – You do know that card blows as much as…. nm
Brain – it could work…
IQ – No
Brain – Why not?
IQ – how about common sense?
Brain – But you don’t have any of that.
IQ – Good point but the answer’s still no.
Brain – And you call yourself a gamer?
IQ - >,<
Brain – Whatever happen to trying any deck idea no matter how silly it is?
IQ - >>.<<
Brain – You should might as well jump online and copy the decks on there instead of building your own.
IQ – I hate you.
Brain – Hope those decks aren’t too complicated for you. After all Brotherhood does need a lot of brain power.
IQ – Where’s that bottle of Vodka? I’m putting you back to sleep.
Brain – Feel like waiting for another stop sign to turn green for15 mins?
IQ – Fine! I’ll try it but if it’s not gona work.

Metamorphosis


After kicking the deck list and a million ideas around I was looking at something that looked a lot like the new Brotherhood. This deck had a ton of 1 drops and all of them where different. At first they were supposed to help War on Humanity but that card was dropped for Savage beatdown to help stun the real characters your opponent will be playing. The variety of different characters stayed because it would help Mutant Supremacy deal as much direct damage as possible.

Using the few common sense I had left I threw Cyclops (2) in to the mix, because when you’re talking about a ton of small X-men running around he just has to be included. Everyone knows New Brotherhood decks can dish out a lot of damage before your opponent even gets a chance to recruit his characters but once he gets them in play the New Brotherhood is on the clock. In theory this deck should work really close to a New Brotherhood deck and once you hit turn 4 or 5 you can start playing Mutant Supremacy to seal the deal.

In the perfect game you’re gona play the New Brotherhood turn 1, with some random Brotherhood character and follow it with Cyclops turn 2 and either Marvel team up or Mutant Nation. But since perfect hands aren’t drawn that often you should mulligan if you don’t see a Marvel team up or Mutant Nation in your first 4 cards because you need either one of those cards a lot more than you need The New Brotherhood. You should control the early game and deal a decent amount of damage because you have a lot of low drops and Cyclops, The New Brotherhood and Savage Land should help you out.

If you’re lucky you should be able to team attack whatever character your opponent drops on turn 4 and his 3 drop shouldn’t too hard to stun. If Beast decides to make an appearance you could potentially play Mutant Supremacy on turn 4 for some damage if you really need it. This deck should have an edge against Sentinels because your characters will be bigger with Cyclops and both decks can drop about the same number of characters each turn. Expect to go head to head Vs sentinels but Mutant Supremacy should give you an edge.

I haven’t had the chance to build the deck yet but I will be working on it and would take any suggestions you guys might have. If you want to reach me you know my e-mail addy and I’ll take whatever feedback I can get because in theory the concept should work and it’s just a matter of finding the right cards that work together to accomplish what we’re shooting for.


Expect an update on this deck with in a week or to see a pic of my brain fried as a punishment for not leaving me alone and making me build this deck. Either way it should be interesting and you should most definitely check back. Well, I’m off to continue tracking the lost bottle of…. eeerr…. Water. ^_<
