Assault On Inmate 128

Ever since the day I bought the DOR Starter deck, I have had an irrational love of the Inmates, especially their 3 drop, who eventually became my username on VSrealms. Charaxes Dury Walker, has been in a large percentage of decks I have attempted to build over the years. My favorite been a MAV Thuderbolts crossover with the help of the Thunderjet, Mech bay and Justice LIke Lightning for the exhausts.

When the little guy got reprinted it was like my birthday, Christmas and Paddy’s day rolled into one. However he never got going this time around I built insanity and took him out in favour of a selection of GK and Revenge Squad characters. I built the non-adjacent deck and Great white overtook him. Then I got my Hushes and gave it another go and Hush worked cause hes that good, but not Charaxes

MUN brought the hope back, this time in the form of a plot twist and a team-up. Assault on Helicarrier 13, could do the exhausting for me, and Hail Hydra could sort out the affiliations. So I had 15 cards selected for the deck; 4 Charaxes, 3 Hush, 4 Assault and 4 Hail Hydra; what to add next and would it work?

Well first up there is the issue of search, Crime lords bring none and Arkham’s is random. Usual Suspects however will make the cut, we want to hit charxes on 3. This does mean we will have to include alternate arkham drops on 3, 4, 5 and possibly 6. Call in a Favour is next in line, it requires no team up and can get either team. Mobilise goes in as well, it is the best. So 4 Mobilise, 3 Usual Suspects and 3 Call in a Favour. 25 Cards

Now lets look at the curve. I think the early drops should be all crime lords because of Hail Hydra. So I will go 4 Sin, because Hush will leave reinforcement issues and 4 Yelena Belova will fit the Ko theme. The Alternate arkahm character on 3 will be the Joker, his discard effect may help out occasionally. The alternate for 4 will be the Riddler, the exhaust theme here. I also need to include Crime lords characters for these slots, these go to James Barnes and the Kingpin.

5 is tricky we won’t have that much space, so 3 should suffice but that means 1 crime lords character and 2 different inmates. Matt Hagen and Catwoman get the arkahm slots. Headcase is included, his 10 defense will help and he fits in with the ko theme.  I think for six and seven I can risk assuming that I managed to team up, so for six I will play 2 M.O.D.O.K. and 1 Sondra Fuller. On 7 1 Red skull and 1 Basil Carlo. That’s 27 characters and 45 Cards overall.

We will need to run 2 more team-up as it is important, so I will go with Metropolis Reborn. 4 Skree gets in, to deal with hidden decks. I want hush to work off initiative so I will run Nasty Surprise, but also Enemy of the State. The last slots go to Chilly reception, to help with the exhaustion.

So the build is:

2 Drops

4 Sin Synthia Schmidt*Raid

4 Yelena Belova-Black Widow Agent of SHIELD*Raid

3 Drops

4 Charaxes Dury Walker

1 James Barnes-Winter Soldier Communist Puppet*Raid

4 Skreeeeee!

3Usual Suspects

4 Assault On Helicarrier 13
