Remix Alter Ego decklist round-up!

 

Bringing the best to the rest.

With such a great turnout and such a fantastic pool of unique lists to navigate, as we slowly creep closer to our top cut, we thought it would be prudent to publish our lists for easy browsing.

These lists are in no particular order:

NEGA-Prime - Aaron Mead
The Brave and the Better - Alexander Hancock
Brain Eater - Andre Castillo
Ultron Swarm - Boris Karetny
Junk Drawer - Cesar Rodil
Infiniturtles - Darius Thatcher
Captain Cold School - James Cormier
Moloids Doom - Jim Bishop
Brotherhood Voltage - Norman Halimsetiawan
No Laughing Matter - Wesley Nichol

 

Summary:
ZERO duplicate decks and only 2 lists running the same Alter Ego, makes for a realy Diverse meta! This is so nice to see and we all wish to thank our participants for making it so easy to enjoy this game! The fact that Prime went undefeated through swiss has ZERO bearing on my good mood right now!

1 - NEGA-Prime - Aaron Mead

 

Alter-Ego

4x Alexander Luthor, Visionary

And this would be my submission to this event.

I love Superboy Prime. He is stupid and overpowered and not a little bit crazy. A fantastic DC villain! But to make his solo tactic work, he needs protection. So when i realized Negative Space can protect him from those untimely KO's ruining my endgame boost chain, and my wild interactions with "The Real Superboy", I just couldnt resist. 

However it was after I had submitted the list that I ALSO made the realization that Negative space would also nullify any and all attempts for me to power him up or to use one of my fave cards, "Kill you to death!' So most of my games were spent calling out opposing characters with Negative space. Did you know reinforcing is a targeted effect? Equipping is too! Negative Space basically reads: just &$%# THAT guy entirely!

What can I say? Prime fights dirty, especially when Batman is lending a hand.

Speaking of the devil, the DEFINATELY-about-to-be-nerfed Batman Alter Ego pushes the Prime set-up into a shocking display of consistency, while Negative space just feels like kicking superman square in the face.

GLORIOUS.

 

Ahh yes, the punch-so-hard-his-head-swings-INTO-the-punch-ignoring-the-laws-of-physics-punch. Still satisfying as hell to see though.

Alexander Hancock is a consummate professional.  He took one look at Damien and knew its potential to push for an overkill turn under a "Brave and the Bold" templated Titans/Gotham Knights crossover and did not flinch. 

His penchant for setting up a solid wombo isn't new, and his veteran play skills are certainly not to be underestimated either. Will this list prove to have too many moving parts? Or will Alfred and friends shred some unlikely faces?

3 - Brain Eater - Andre Castillo

4x Electro, Shocking, Sinister Six

1x Rhino, Unstoppable

Plot Twists
3x Smoke And Mirrors
4x The Original Six
4x Total Anarchy
4x Nasty Surprise
4x Finishing Move
2x Mobilize
1x No Fear
3x Flametrap

Locations
3x Earth Prime, Paradise Lost and Found
2x Stryker's Island
4x Octavius' Base

 

Andre is a crazy man. In all the right ways.

The sky is blue. the grass is green. Andre is going to try to play Venom.
These are the constants of the world in which I exist. 

His absurd love for Green Goblin and Spider-man and Venom tends to evoke some pretty gnarly deck building preferences, often forcing a design note for future content on good days, and a straight up card change or errata on crazy ones.

For better, or for worse, however, sticking to his guns seems to land him in a top spot for contention, And this beastie is no different. Pulling the trigger on a decklist riding FIFTEEN KO effects, can be a tall order for the best up us to deal with. This particular monster likes to produce a gamestate where your empty board eats massive face swings while his venom/flametrap/finishing move do all his heavy lifting. While green goblin will punish you for trying to even think about defensive formations.

This list is wild.

4 - Ultron Swarm - Boris Karetny

 

Alter-Ego
Annihilus

Characters
6x The Punishers, Army

14x Ultron, Army - Droid

3x Ultron, Army, No Strings

4x Ultron - Ultron II, army

1x Ultron, Ultron Unlimited

1x Death, Her Majesty

Plot Twists
4x Uncertain Legacy
3x Mine At Last!
2x Have a Blast!
4x Reconstruction Protocol
4x Savage Beatdown
3x Hero's Fall
3x Army of Evil, Team-Up
1x Negative Space

Locations
4x Earth-61112, non-unique
3x Earth Prime, Paradise Lost and Found

Ever feel like you are being watched?

YOU ARE.

Boris is a ninja. Lurking, muted in discord channels he waits until you leak all your secrets. testing in solo? no you aren't. He's there. watching.
...waiting.

So when the dev team was talking about how crazy abusive the army based leaders of Annihilus and Ultron would be in this format? Well the ninja master himself heard that too. And boy did he run with it.

Being able to produce turn one, 4 ATK army swingers is frankly, ridiculous. merging that kind of tempo under an ultron abuse build, is a push to an entirely new level of aggression. Anything short of a very unexpected wiff, or some kind of flametrap hard counter likely will not stop this shadow assault.

5 - Junk Drawer - Cesar Rodil

 

Alter-Ego

Characters

4x Xarthian Quantum Cannon
1x The Necroblade, Unique

Locations
2x New Baxter Building
3x Reed Richards' Lab 

Ever hear of fantastic fun?
Rocket is basically a lightly improved Antarctic Research Base. Which means in the right circumstances, this list will draw cards like CRAZY. I mean it. Bonkers fast draws. To hear him tell it, Cesar's first tests had him decking out by turn 5. So with all that draw potential what do you do?

You set up multiple Press the attacks for your win con.

Ever gone from 50 to negative 18 in a single combat phase?
Brace yourself.
This is Junk Drawer. Fantastic Fun, Remix edition.

1x Mikey's Nunchaku, Unique
1x Leo's Katana, Unique
1x Yellow Sun Armor, Unique
1x Ultimate Nullifier, One Way trip
1x Infinity Gauntlet, Unique 

Our resident overworked trucker took a great deck and lobbed a guaranteed crossover in, thanks to Lex as his Ego. Running a known TMNT exploit with Ronin pushing for an abusive multiple use infinity gauntlet win condition. All of this is actually pretty absurd, however it may fall prey to tempo lists. It will be interesting to see how this performs.

7 - Captain Cold School - James Cormier

 Alter-Ego
Captain Cold

 

Characters
2x The Top, Roscoe Dillon

4x James Jessie - Trickster, Aerialist
3x Abra Kadabra, 64th Century Exile

4x Weather Wizard, Forecast of Pain
2x Captain Cold, Honor Among Rogues

4x Killer Frost, Rebirth
3x Gorilla Grodd, Genius Powerhouse

2x Sam Scudder - Mirror Master, Shattered Universe
2x Bloodwork, Ramsey Rosso

3x Daniel West - Reverse Flash, Perversed and Reversed

2x Captain Cold, Mister Snart Guy

Plot Twists
4x The Rogue Gallery
2x Applied Pressure
2x The Perfect Heist
3x All Part of the Plan
4x The Alchemichal Solution
4x Hot off the Presses
4x Rogue Attack
3x Nasty Surprise

Locations
3x Mirror Master's Lair

A recent newcomer to Remix, James opted for a hunter list with a wild wombo. The utility of the Ego allows the hypothetical Perfect Heist full deck draw. However it may struggle on outplay potential with a roster that seems to have trouble deciding if it is a combat focused hunter deck or a mill list. A dark horse with potential! I look forward to seeing what other interesting concoctions he graces us with!

8 - Moloids Doom - Jim Bishop

 Alter-Ego
Wally West

 

 

Characters
4x Valeria Richards, goddaughter of doom
9x Moloids, army

4x Mole Man, moloid master

3x Dr. Doom, diabolic genius

1x Kang, destiny warrior

1x Purple Man, subtle manipulator

1x Sub-Mariner, ally of doom

1x Dr. Doom, lord of latveria

Plot Twists
4x Devil's Due
1x Faces of Doom
4x Mystical Paralysis
4x Reign of Terror
4x Mobilize
4x Savage Beatdown
1x Flametrap
1x Have a Blast!
1x Only Human

Locations
3x Doomstadt
3x Birthing Chamber

Jim comes in with a pretty interesting hot take for Doom. Electing to use wally to ensure both a Mystical Paralysis use and a counter-loaded Massive Devil's Due swing! The Moloid recursion utility under Wally is also quite the interesting catch as his mole man can do double duty returning the moloids to play.

Locations
3x Island M
1x Satellite HQ

Equipment
1x Juggernaut's Helmet, Unique

Norman has a problem.

He just can't seem to ever choose any other Alter Ego.
Ever.

Now lets clear the air, Wally West is a RIDICULOUS Alter Ego. Dropping to 40 endurance is not a problem when you are abusing his free ready trick consistently. Norman's take on this was abusing the early brotherhood burners. Destiny into Pyro under this Ego will produce some WILDLY inappropriate amounts of Endurance loss tricks, while Magneto, puts in work through midgame.  It is so effective in fact, that JUST hitting Pyro will guarantee 18 damage by turn 4 and that isn't nothing my friend.

Wesley is an odd man, a man with odd needs. An enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in  a wife-beater. All of it is absurd and yet all of it is truth. Among his discerning palate of needs is a seemingly innate hunger for a power-up deck in remix. While this hypothetical list has stood near the precipice of performance for some time now, it was the combination of this overperforming Joker Alter-Ego, the introduction of the hawk... er... persons? hawkpeople. Hawksters? Katar-Hol and Shayera.
Their utility has pushed powering up to the Nth power.

God that was a satisfying pun.

So this list looks to abuse a universal power-up engine in the body of 1 drop Katar, the additional +1 DEF proc from Shayera's 5, the free power-up triggers from the team-up and Nth metal for an astounding result stacked with Lost City. It is absolutely bonkers. with a seamless line of plays and solid set-up it has completely decimated most pairings. How far it can go is entirely up to our enigmatic smoking mysterious wife-beater wearing bearded prodigy.
