ROUND 2
LOSER'S BRACKET
Match 17: Defenders, Attack! -VS- Skrullf*cked
In Week 1 The Skrull variant wiffed just about everything a deck can wiff after mulligan-ing away what would have been a GOD hand. This week, while there was no overly crazy opening hand, the even initiatives really worked out for the alien shifters as the unlikely team-up proceeded to completely dominate the board from turn 4 onwards, Muramasa blade on wolverine double swings cleared the visible area, then on turn 5, An Elektra counterswing with black bolt and 7 team affiliations took down hulk in a permanent manner. On 6 a second Mutopia and an under-dropped Ethan Edwards met a second mutopia for 9 team affiliations and some serious damage.
And with that, "Defenders, Attack!" pack up their things and journey home after suffering a sound Skrullf*cking.

Defenders, Attack! ELIMINATED BY Skrullf*cked
-30 to 42Match 18: The MorMans are Coming! -VS- Exhaust Squad
Mormans were forced to underdrop early while Exhaust Squad went to work, at one point featuring a Haywire swinging at 10/9 on turn 5! However it was a timely Backs Against the Wall, and the significant burn from the Alley that locked in a very close game for the MorMans. But seeing all these games go to 6, really has me wondering why MorMan's didnt toss in a single Callisto, just in case.
The MorMans ar Coming! ELIMINATES Exhaust Squad
-1 to -3Match 19: Evil Secrets -VS- The Swingers' Club
Evil Secrets exploded rightout of the gate, managing to KO Firestar on 5, and then Spiderman, secret avenger on 6! But the Swinger's club late game proved to be too much for even 2 cover fires to handle as Evil Secrets wins on the back of the synergy between Madelyn and Aunt may's free cost. Pushing it through on an explosive off-initiative.
Evil Secrets ELIMINATED BY The Swingers' Club
-20 to -3Match 20: Mind Games -VS- Devourer of Speed
Using a reinforced 4 drop flash to mitigate the insane swings of the 19/19 5 drop jean grey, it was a textbook infinite mass punch direct for 35 on six, that ended the x-lady's mindgames.
Mind Games ELIMINATED BY Devourer of Speed
-18 to 25Match 21: Rita Repulsa -VS- IMMORTALS
A potent turn 3 saw Rita make her monster grow INDEED. showcasing a rad man with double New Identity. almost immediately shutting down plot twist play the following turn.
However IMMORTALS were not out of it. not one bit.
Who ami kidding there is no point dressing it up.
The game literally ended the instant Gorilla Grodd stole a Radioactiveman with 9 (NINE!) +1/+1 counters. Of course, they then just kept adding the counters, like a boss.

-28 to 15Match 22: Outsider Protocol -VS- Kill you to Death!
The attack resets of the outsiders proved to be an insurmountable advantage as the green lantern portion of the early game was completely overrun by angry multiswingers and Stun machines. You might say, Outsider Protocol Killed to death "Kill you to death".
Outsider Protocol ELIMINATES Kill you to Death!
15 to -22Match 23: Super Legionnaires -VS- Intergalactic Carpool
I believe the term is called "vehicular homicide". And that is precisely what happened here, as teh Super Legionnaires found themselves outgunned across the board thanks to some fantasticars. On a turn 5 Mr fantastic initiative, the legion barely hung on ad a precarious 2 endurance before being snuffed out on turn 6, not bothering to swing back.
Super legionnaires ELIMINATED BY Intergalactic Carpool
-8 to 10Match 24: Dead guys -VS- BKKO
Dead guys started slow, losing some key drops to timely KO effects, but on 4 everything changed on the back of a supreme Centurion Brick, stealing some thunder and quite a few endurance points too! On 6 however the tide turned, as ghost rider's shared stun ability pushed theDead Guys JUST far enough to end it.
Dead Guys ELIMINATED BY BKKO
-16 to -15WINNERS BRACKET
Match 25: Gamma Robuts -VS- The Cliffs of INSANITY
Cliffs fought hard but Doom hit everything and just didn't let them do much. A turn 8 gamma bomb sealed the deal against the promising Insanity build and its shenanigans as Doom managed to keep re-using it until eventually deciding to end it in teh absolute safest way possible on turn 10.
Shout-out to the unique utility of bastion on the multi-swinging Sub-mariner in this list. A super potent combination that got serious work in.

13 to -17
Match 26: Secretly Wolverine -VS- BroStat-X
Secretly Wolverine actually opened up with a bonkers start, leaving BroStat-X at only 13 endurance exiting turn 3 and sat at a comfortable 42 endurance itself. pretty safe huh?
Nope. 5x boardwide pumps for a global +10 and a few Planet X's for good measure, and BroStat-X coasts to an easy win after a barnacle solos Master-Man and the rest swing face.

-14 to -2
Match 27: Dark Magic -VS- HellKnights
HellKnights got the perfect set-up with an Alfred followed into a Sydney Leach and it was a trivial matter getting all 3 fate artifacts into play by turn 3. The problem, however, was that after all this was done, Jared Stevens came into play and repeatedly payed ZERO resources to ko the entire fate set.
To say this put HellKnights on the back foot is an understatement, but they managed to take the game to a very close turn 8, where unfortunately, they have no relevant drop while Captain Marvel showed up for Dark Magic to seal the deal in a potent initiative.

Match 28: Unjust Fear -VS- Hulk Smash you... Yesterday
Hulk did what hulk does and swung for the fences, howeverneeded to underdrop a clutch missed Miek on 4 rather than curve out. This allowed JUST enough time for Unjust Fear to hit that all-too-important Dr. Light on 6 and force an out of combat righteous anger, limiting hulks swingbacks and removing hulk smash from the equation. Yet again. Null time kept hulk in it until a turn 7 when Psimon turned off literally every support plot twist hulk had before a pre-combat doc light stun sealed the deal.
Unjust fear DEFEATS Hulk Smash you... Yesterday
8 to -2
Match 29: Gods Matter -VS- SHIELD of Atlantis
SHIELD of Atlantis got off to a great start with an early set-up to use cover fire through turns 2 through 4, but to avoid the loss was forced to flip up a second trisk for the needed brick. being down a resource on a defensive 5 was a tall order and the SHIELD falls in a surprisingly resilient game.
Gods Matter DEFEATS SHIELD of Atlantis
-4 to -10Match 30: Demons United -VS- Foul-Mouthed Dark God
The demons wnated blood, taking an early control of the game, but like, the patters seems to demonstrate, the dark god enlisted the aid of a Doom pretender and Mystical Paralysis'd Just all over the damn place. wrestling control until turn 8, where at a running total of 2 to 17, with 3 face-up Anti-life's Darkseid declared the game won. and the demons opted for the alt win condition, KOing their stunned board rather than go below zero. and suffer the indignity of a traditional game loss.
DEFEATED BY
Darkseid, Dark God win condition
Match 31: Crapple Jacks -VS- Young Avengers Flight
Young avengers flight did everything right, but a surprise dUal affiliated Deadpool surprised them, locking down a Monica Rambeau fueld power turn. after a brief debate about how, normally Deadpool would not in fact be a legal play in this circumstance (which is true, dual loyalty as a keyword specifies printed affiliations) This event, however, specified otherwise in my original deckbuilding rules post. Chalk it up to bad beats. Crapple Jacks control takes hold and runs away with a win.
Crapple Jacks DEFEAT Young Avengers Flight
23 to -4
Match 32: Tam'Ar Empire -VS- WEE
Week one, immediately showed why Walter Alvarado's empire is a pure stall, But a clutch miss on turn 2 prevented the massive brick ability the deck typically boasted. meanwhile WEE lived up to its name, curving through 5 and ending the game on an attack inflicting EXACTLY fatal damage before Tam'Ar Empire could stabilize. This one ends with the highest endurance total so far in this event! taking only 2 damage!
Tam'Ar Empire DEFEATED BY WEE
