So its the end of the second day of lent today and so far its going alright. Me and my wife have decided to give up meat this year (although we are still allowed fish). Although we are missing it we have been inspired to try new foods and cook new meals for ourselves - as a wise man once told me (or at least Mark Rosewater once wrote in an article that I read)  limitations aid and inspire creativity they don’t stifle it.

In a similar way Random Punks imposes a limit (by removing rares) but offers a new opportunity for deck ideas. Next Friday (15th Feb) the Loughborough games club will be holding its second constructed Vs. tournament and if you hadn’t guessed I’ve got my creative juices flowing and half finished decks are beginning to clutter up my home. I’ve been slightly distracted by the heroclix previews appearing over the past week but I think the deck that I’m favoring at the moment is a rehash of my old inmates deck.

The list currently looks something like:

32 Characters:
3 x Mad Hatter, Mad as a Hatter
3 x Amadeus Arkham, Architect of Insanity
4 x K.G. Beast
4 x Crime Doctor, Bradford Thorne
4 x Charxes
2 x Two-Face, Jekyll and Hyde
4 x Hush (DCX)
2 x Poison Ivy, Kiss of Death
1 x Matt Hagen Clayface, Mud Pack
2 x Scarecrow, Fearmonger
1 x Sondra Fuller , Mud Pack
1 x Bane, The Man Who Broke the Bat
1 x Killer Croc, Cannibal

20 Plot Twists:
4 x Glass Jaw
4 x Fear and Confusion
4 x Usual Suspects
4 x Kidnapping
4 x Nasty Suprise

8 Locations:
4 x Slaughter Swamp
1 x Arkham Asylum
1 x Blackgate Prison, Maximum Security
1 x No Man’s Land
1 x Soul World

The main aim is to use Charaxes and Hush along with the various exhaustion effects backed up by free madhatters and kidnapping to clear the opponents board. With the exhaust tech Amadeus should be able to search out the locations you need and Ivy is there to teck against evading 2 drops (especially tarbaby). The deck need a lot of testing an any input would be appreciated.

Another possibility is Good guys redux:

Characters 27:
4 x Ted Kord
2 x Sue Dibny
4 x Booster Gold
2 x Conner Hawk
4 x Shayera Thal
2 x Hawk Girl
4 x Hakman (+3 atk)
1 x Hawkman (+1def)
2 x John Henry
2 x Batman

Plot Twists 8:
4 x Magnificent 7
4 x Uni Power

Locations 14:
3 x Dr. Fates Tower
3 x New Baxter Building
4 x Hall of Justice
4 x Soul World

Equipment 11:
2 x Amulet of Nabu
2 x Cloak of Nabu
2 x Helm of Nabu
4 x Nth Metal
1 x Mind Gem

Typical power-up fate-naughtiness tricks.

There are may other proto-decks around the house but nothing that warrants a complete list yet…
