Deck "Level 5 Beatdown" Help
Deck "Level 5 Beatdown" - 66 Cards (extended format) show standard format
created by alphasilvr 

This is a beta test deck and has yet to be play tested, which I hope to do within the next few days, but I would like some opinions on it. Basically its a deck that reveals itself at round 8-10 if you get that far, but the rest of the deck is partially designed to do just that. With Xavier and Psylocke's discard ability it takes some options away for opponent's. Once Round 8 is reached thats when things heat up. First of all, Jean Grey returns all cards to the hand and then put out Onslaught on round 9 and then Magneto on round 10 if your opponent is still around. Or you can use Jean Grey at the beginning of round 10 and then play Dark Phoenix and then if it goes to round 11, Frankie Raye comes out and you pound with a 21 ATK and 25 ATK characters when your opponent MAYBE has one large character out. Its a deck for long games, but that is how I like to play, there is just no sport in short 4 or 5 round games.
