Sentinels Deckbuilding aka "Shattered Heroes" - Game 3

See the main Sentinels Deckbuilding thread for the rules and intial two games.  In general it's select up to four hero decks to build a single hero deck out of.  It (and others) will then face a similarly constructed villain deck.  Heroes are 2-0 so far, but villain constructers have also so far resisted the desire to build an unwinnable game as well.

Environment for this game will be one of these three: The Block, Time Cataclysm, or Realm of Discord.  To selected at random at game start.

Hero Roster (will be updated) - underlined hero is the character card being used

grysql - Naturalist; Sentinels; Chrono-Ranger; Legacy

BH Meerkat - Ra; Absolute Zero; Mr Fixer; Wraith

phantaskippy - Omnitron-X; Tachyon; Parse; Haka

luminos - Unity, Expatriette, Argent Adept, Nightmist

Unclaimed Heroes: Bunker; Fanatic; KNYFE; The Scholar; Setback; Tempest; Visionary

If no one objects, I'm going to give my deck another try, though I'm happy to build a new one if people are sick of me hogging Naturalist/Haka/Scholar/Tachyon.

I'm throwing out Omni-Unity. It wasn't bad, but it's too much and too fragile a setup for this kind of game. I'm in, but I'll claim heroes after other people, since at present I have no ideas.

Omni-Tachy-Parse if you please.

Ok. I put together a deck out of Naturalist, Sentinels, Chrono-Ranger, Legacy.

I’m in. I’ll take Unity, Expatriette, and Argent Adept, with a fourth to be named after everyone else makes their choices.

I'm going to add Haka to my heroes.

Currently available heroes are Ra, Tempest, Wraith, Bunker, Fanatic, Fixer, The Scholar, The Visionary, Absolute Zero, Nightmist, KNYFE and Setback, I think. Hmmm... I shall take Ra, Absolute Zero, Fixer and Wraith, if that's okay.

Any other players want in?  Any other heroes to be taken up by the four already taking part?

Okay, deck built. If I mention Throwing Knives, Micro-Targetting Computers or Stun Bolts, please yell at me; I'm proxying for Fixer, since his cards are too big.

My deck is finished

Everyone ready to go?

I am.

Will post opening turn tomorrow afternoon.  I randomized the hero order and the random environment selection has come up Time Cataclysm.

I’m ready. I’ll take Nightmist to fill out the last of my deck. Done, deck is built.

(I'm using Ra's card, btw.)

GAME ON.

I put Hypersonic on top

This round's soundtrack is "Stormy Weather"

LC flip is probably premature.  The healing is nice, but not much damage inflicted on the heroes for two rounds of play.  And no cards stolen after being put in play.  And Temporal Thief is probably a better card play for LC after she has flipped since it's the way for her to reinforce the stack while she is flipped.

The first time a target deals Ra damage each turn, Ra deals that target 2(+2) fire damage.

Don't forget that your damage to LC is +3 right now. Inspiring Presence, Predator's Eye, Dual Crowbars. So, I believe LC should be at 46.

Trash: Mistbound, Bee Bot, Raptor Bot, Arcane Cadence x2, brainstorm x2, Hasty Augmentation

Standing Orders: Stealth Bot will absorb any 1 damage hits to heroes, or any hit that would destroy platform bot.

Awaiting Resolution: Naturalist’s power use.

LC is going to destroy an ongoing or equipment card at the start of her turn - any volunteers?

I can lose HUD goggles without much pain.

LC should be at 37, not 39 after Omni-X's turn. On Expat's turn, Naturalist uses Crocodile to deal 2+1[IP]+1[Croc]+1[Durasteel]+1[Predator's Eye]+2[Hasty Augmentation] = 8 melee damage to LC [29]. After Platform Bot, she's at 24.

Sorry to butt in, why is Haka of Battle granting +2 per card discarded, what am I missing?

EDIT: Oh wow, it's Critical Multipler, that's a very potent combo! With the Parse/Haka combo all Hakas can act as a Haka of Battle while still generating their own effect, awesome!

Other than the bots and maybe Omni's components, I don't know that we would actually care if she did.

Me neither.  Efficient heroes, and a villain deck that I am finding disappointing since I have a suspicion that the standard La Capitan deck might have done better. 

Ra

Play: Bloody Knuckles enters play.

Power: Pyre - deal 7 fire damage to La Capitan [4] and 8 fire damage to self [19]; Flame Barrier kicks in and deals 8 fire damage to self [11] and 7 to La Capitan [X]

VICTORY!

Poor Cappy... I like this deck. It didn't get to really shine this game, but it did well enough, and with a bit of a polish it could do great things... That Naturalist deck was spectacular, though.

Anyone mind if I run the next game? I have an idea that just might work...

If anyone is curious here's the full LaCapitan deck and a few construction comments:

==== Ze Deck ====
Character: La Capitan

La Paradoja Magnifica
Temporal Thief (x2)
Maria Helena's Revenge (x2)
A Motley Crew (x2)
Walk the Plank
"All Together Now"
Final Breath
Trueshot
Battle Forged
Siege-Breaker
---
Gene-bound Guard (x2)
TCF Stalwart
TCF Conquerer
---
Suspicious Malfunction
Another Reality's Debt
"Explosion" in the Lab
Missing Resources
---
Fortune's Smile (x2)
Inconceivable Obstruction
Imminent Destruction
--------
Remarks:
1) "Theme" was giving La Capitan more ships.  And thus since there was "Walk the Plank" adding a card
with a shark in it just seemed to match.

2) Beyond (1) the goal was to get the deck some ability to steal and destroy cards, get more villain
cards into play, and get then be able to inflict some damage.  All without relying on the Baron Blade
and/or Omnitron cards that inflict serious damage and wipe a type of card.  The deck was still mainly La
Capitan since her crew cycling out repeatedly, if possible, is a good part of her theme and
effectiveness.
 

Aw man, my next turn involved Quick insight, Recompile Haka of battle and LSB.  Would have been sick.

I'm down for anything, am willing to play this deck again or go for a new style.

I’ve got a super draw type deck I’d be interested in trying. Of course, after seeing some of the combos from this game, I’m starting to wish I had vengeance.

Question - I didn't think Flame Barrier let you pick the kick-back target - it's the target that inflicted the damage, isn't it?

EDIT: Never mind.  It's Dual Crowbars duplicating the kick-back damage over to La Capitan.  (Cute)

Dual Crowbars :P

It would have been even more fun with AZ modules - fire damage to an enemy and myself means cold damage to an enemy and healing to myself, and also MORE fire damage to an enemy and to myself which means more cold damage to an enemy and healing to myself.

He attacked himself, then dual crowbars allowed him to attack a second target

Yeah, I got all of the right cards at the right time. I want to try this deck again and see how it goes with a less ideal draw.

Dual Crowbars was pretty sweet there.
