I then rolled two Team Up dice and dealt him 31 damage with just three character dice (KO’ing his blockers with Dreadnaught). Quickly, he ended up with a lean field due to Blob and bad rolls (his Fixit would just not roll!). But I had 5 affiliations, just with Blob, Dreadnaught and Parasite. It hit the field early and I had to play around it. He also has GDM, and he went for it early (not a bad move). I then used Yuan-ti’s Attune and Magic Missile’s global to thin out my opponent’s field, and then attacked with everything for an obscene amount of damage. By the time I got Team Up, my opponent had Iceman set up and was dealing some pretty serious damage. I set up my Parasites and Yuan-tis to prepare to deal damage, but because I have no cheap actions in this build, it was hard to get damage through. Her bag control was rather wrecked, and so was mine. Meanwhile, she used Shriek to shut down my Wrecker. My opponent had Green Devil Mask, so I went for Blob early to shut that down. So after Atom, here’s another fast burn team: Iceman. His Dani + Lance combo was hurting me pretty bad, but after he got me down to 1 life, Team Up rolled, and I barely squeezed in a win. Meanwhile, I was getting my own win condition set up.
The fun thing about this situation is that because I went for Wrecker early, I wrecked his pacing and forced him to pivot to a secondary strategy (Dani Moonstar + Doom Lance). That should’ve wrecked me…but I had Wrecker.
I started off against an Atom team that is identical to the one Ben Scott used at last month’s US Nationals. And Resurrection, per usual, is there for ramp, churn and bag control.Īnd with that said, on to the games! Game 1:
I also used Wrecker, because this team cannot keep pace with a burn team if you’re just racing for damage.Īs for the last two cards, Acererak is there for the global, to be used if Scarlet Witch is on the other side. He also gives me the Brotherhood affiliation, which never hurts. I went for Blob to try to counter the ever-annoying Green Devil Mask, this team’s main weakness. Between these three, Parasite and Yuan-ti, that’s 9 affiliations already. I also threw in Dreadnaught he also gives me two affiliations, and he gives me removal as well. Both are inexpensive, give me access to two unique affiliations each, and Widow’s ability, while not crazy, is still relevant in the meta. The 1-cost Parasite is an obvious fit, as is the OP Black Widow. Speaking of affiliations, we need a bunch of them. Since both are buffed by Team Up, it’s pretty easy to get 20 damage or close to with enough affiliations active. Have both Yuan-ti and Parasite active, use Team Up, both characters get huge, and you attack with Yuan-ti, made stronger by Parasite. The core combo involves using Yuan-ti, Parasite and Team Up. I always wanted to try my own take on it though, and tonight seemed as good a night as any. Now, I make no claim of originality on this concept. The Team: Parasite returns…or is it Yuan-ti? Or Team Up? You decide. So if you don’t like Team up, then it is a pityīecause it’s time to… Return to Parasite City The team worked quite well despite odds and ends So I sprang out with Team Up, to break up the paceīut to my surprise and that of my friends Running a quirky team, oh no one would dare Strong teams all about their fangs they all bore Twas the Thursday before Nats, when all through the store
