For round 2 as the sole paired down victor, I faced off against Nick's Skrull deck. Featuring MHG and MUN. I won the roll and figured it would be a good idea to play around hoping for blade on 3 and chose odd initiatives. Unlike last bat-rep, I managed to take some reasonably detailed notes this time through! Enjoy!

GAME 1
TURN 1
I recruit wasp. He wiffs and wasp swings direct, I wanted to telegraph not having Trisk yet. Fun fact: i had 2.
50 to 49
TURN 2
I wiff and activate Wasp for 3 burn. I just drew another Trisk I'm just going to go wide with her now.
he swings direct.
At the end of the turn Franklin gains a cosmic counter.
48 to 46
TURN 3
I recruit SHAFT (Nick Fury) in my visible support row and pass. The hell is happening? ALL my resources are Triskelions. the 4th is in my warp.
He plays Skrullverine visible, but that won't last long.
I declare Shaft into Skrullverine. He removes a counter from Franklin and moves Wolvie hidden making the declared swing not legal. Shaft goes direct instead.
He passes, I activate wasp for 3.
Franklin cains a cosmic at the end of the turn.
48 to 38
TURN 4
Nick recruits Ethan Edwards visible.
I recruit Hank Pym protecting Shaft.
Hank triggers gaining a counter.
Nick flips up 2 team-ups and declares Skrulverine into Hank with 12
I death of the dream exhausting hank and wasp to replace both team ups. he hits another. I reinforce with shaft and pass to mutual stuns.
He continues with Ethan into Shaft at 10/7 Once legal, I play now im fighting dirty (NIFD) for the stun-back and flip up Trisk. he moves Ethan hidden with Frankie before passing into the trade then sends Franklin direct with a double power up for 4.
Franklin gains another cosmic.
during recovery, Nick KO's Skrullverine. I KO Shaft.
37 to 31
TURN 5
I play Liberation day from the row and chain Trisk for NIFD. I then recruit Iron Man.
He recruits Elektra hidden.
Hank gets another counter, Iron Man wiffs. I team my 4 and 5 direct for 18 and pass.
He realizes I can brick any single swing, since he saw me get NIFD, and i saw his hand is mostly useless and team swings Elektra and Ethan into Hank.
Hank stuns Elektra who fails to KO with only 3 affiliations. he passes.
Frankie gains a counter.
I recover Hank he recovers Elektra.
33 to 5
TURN 6
Nick recruits Super Skrull visible and passes.
I force him to use Franklin Richards by attempting to attach Power Dampeners onto Super Skrull. He does so and moves his 6 hidden and dampeners cant find a legal target and KOs.
I then activate Trisk to fetch and recruit Captain America.
He goes wide for stuns, but cant deal with stun-backs.
28 to -12
GAME 2
Nick elects to take evens.
I play wasp, he recruits lockjaw to fetch Franklin
I burn him for 3, he swings direct for 2.
48 to 47
TURN 2
Nick recruits Franklin Richards hidden.
I recruit Clint Barton hidden.
he sends everything direct for 4.
I burn with wasp and swing direct with Clint for 7
Franklin gains a counter.
44 to 40
TURN 3
I recruit blade.
He recruits Skrulverine.
I send Blade into Franklin moving frank visible for some good, old fashioned child abuse.
Nick uses Frank and moves Skrulverine hidden and passes into a 1 sided stun
I then go direct with Clint and burn with wasp for 7.
Nick goes direct for 7
Nick recovers Franklin. No cosmic counters this time!
37 to 29
TURN 4
Nick wiffs 4. At this point I feel it may be over for him.
I recruit Lady Deathstrike visible.
Nick flips up underground Movement and swings Skrulvie into Lady Deathstrike. Dropping 2 interstellar offensives for a massive 20 ATK swing. I change my pants, ending in a mutual stun.
He then he sends Franklin direct, moving him hidden again thanks to a flipped Underground Movement and follows up with lockjaw for 2 more.
I send blade into Franklin again (because he loves to abuse children just as much as vampires apparently.) moving him visible.
He powers up hoping for a stun-back I play a trouble with dinos and chain flipping and activating Trisk to fetch a NIFD to avoid the stun and send home some big damage. Wasp burns for 3 again and Clint goes direct.
He KOs Franklin.
15 to 9
TURN 5
I chain Trisk to the draw to fetch iron man recruiting him protecting Lady Deathstrike.
He recruits Elektra.
Iron Man removes a death of the dream (he revealed 2 death of the dreams and another elektra.)
I activate Wasp burning for 3.
Clint goes direct for an easy 4, Then I flip up SHIELD Helicarrier (returning wasp and clint to hand.)
before sending my Iron Man direct for 11.
Blade swings into Elektra with 7 thanks to flight since she was protected, I then flip up a second Trisk (KOing the first to uniqueness) and activating it for a Trouble with Dinos to ensure the stun.
To follow up, I activate Lady Deathstrike's effect to ready Iron Man and faceshot him once more with 11.
He scoops it up. and offers the handshake.
12 to -29
another 2-0 week!
So I was a bit worried that I'd see him go WIDE but game 1 was put to bed almost entirely on the back of that clutch Death of the Dream, Game two I really got to feel validated in my decision to run Blade. Ultimates aren't shy about showing me that a bunch of 2-of tech options will see consistent play, and man that Helicarrier was so good, I'm kicking myself for not running more.
Current record:
W - Hulk variant 2-0
W - Skrulls 2-0
