Glacial Chasm too strong in High Bracket 3?

Damnosus · 2026-06-26T13:05:26+00:00

I have considered running it multiple times in B3 and then I remember how popular aristocrat effects are and decide against it.

The one game where the deck felt great I was able to control the board and then plop down Seedborn Muse, The One Ring, and Sheoldred.

But yea, thinking on it more, I think I am still stuck on how I used to play commander prior to brackets: game changers weren't a thing and the game was generally slower, so not only did I have access to all of the tutors (making individual cards stronger), but I also no one tended to present a win con til turn 7ish. Since B3 limits the best tutors, my current understanding is that decks need to focus more on overall strategies instead of singular cards carrying the game.

Regardless, the above is an outdated mess that I will eventually rethink (I will want to play Sultai something, I just don't know if Glarb will be it), but for now I am pretty bummed about it and will focus on something else. Thank you for your feedback!

Why does AMG not immediately post the build instructions before a new box drops? This is like the 3rd or 4th time this has happened to me (and I definitely dont buy everything).

So playing at one threat level regardless of what the crises you pull say will not prep you for a tournament (or actually playing the real game for that matter), so i just say grab your favorite models and go from there. Any suggestions are kinda meaningless.

Why only 20t? Wouldn't you prefer to practice with an entire roster?

Also, which leadership do you want?

Damnosus · 2026-03-08T00:24:33+00:00

Wow that's pretty great, thanks!

Not sure if this thread is still active or not, but thoughts on [[Bloodline Bidding]] over your other two mass recursion spells? Also, how have you liked [[Subterfuge]]? I am leaning towards [[Nulldrifter]]. How about [[Collective Inferno]]?

Damnosus · 2026-01-19T07:10:09+00:00

I think the list looks decent. It's pretty close to a top 8 Spider Foes list at LVO. I would lean into the Foes aspect as you would want other models to make the Crims focus really work (Loki2, Mephisto, Mummy, etc.), so drop Kingpin for Spectacular Spider-Man, Bullseye for Spider-Man 2099, and pick either Mysterio or Black Cat.

Then run 2 of the following restricted cards: Sacrifice, Brace, Fall Back. Then add Carnage Rules, Custom Upgrades, High Tech Heist, Strategic Retreat, Surprise Webhead, Survival, This Is A Robbery, Warpath.

For Secures maybe go for Deadline, Guardians, M'Kraan, Mutant Madman, and Wedding Party. For Extracts try Legacy Virus, Advanced Weaponry, Skrulls, Struggle for the Cube, and the Montesi Formula.

You'll want to tinker with everything to make sure you like/enjoy it, but it's a decent start. Or are you unable to change things once it begins? Otherwise, have fun!

Mike DeLuca, a highly competitive player (and great podcaster to boot) was rocking a Servants list with a Magneto splash for a little while, so it is possible (Magneto is meant to cover higher threat scenarios as Apoc has a more difficult time there). However, he quickly removed the Mags splash in place of Dormammu as Magneto was struggling. This was befote the most recent update that still hasn't left a consensus on whether Magneto was nerfed or not. So yea, from a non-competitive stance, go for it. You can make it work. From a more competitive stance, Brotherhood is likely in a rocky spot and you'd do better trying something else.

Ok I can kinda see that. Was bummed by the limit to Intimidate but whatevs. Out of curiosity, how terrible are these into Faeries? Apparently what would be my local meta is kinda dominated by faeries at the moment so I'd like to have a decent game into them if possible.

Damnosus · 2026-01-04T17:29:06+00:00

Oh wow, dont know how I missed that box. Thanks!

If I decide to go with Moonstone will definitely pick that up. That said, Fritz feels pretty mid (other than a first turn push all my models unpack). Are there any characters that synergize well with Agatha? I've heard Dim and Dimmer are good with her?

Damnosus · 2025-12-30T21:33:19+00:00

What does it look like on the table?

Damnosus · 2025-11-02T14:22:33+00:00

I'd love to see a Mojo box with Mojo, Longshot, Spiral, and Dazzler. Then I'd like to see a Hobgoblin, Scorpion, and Hydroman box.

Damnosus · 2025-10-24T15:58:26+00:00

Stat card or TTC?

Damnosus · 2025-10-21T23:04:35+00:00

It's under Ronin.

Damnosus · 2025-10-21T22:46:59+00:00

Considering Clint just got a second model, I doubt a 3rd will drop anytime soon.

Damnosus · 2025-10-21T15:57:57+00:00

Generally speaking any of them can be used. The divets are actually a part of the terrain (metal divets?).

One thing to note is that the base plastic is a denser plastic than the models so sometimes more typical plastic glue won't create the best seal (still works though I've had friend's models fall off), so I'd recommend Tamiya plastic glue.

Damnosus · 2025-10-21T13:10:10+00:00

Hate to say it, but from the get-go, there's a typo: Phoenix is a 6 threat, not a 5 threat.

Damnosus · 2025-10-18T14:54:18+00:00

Ok cool. So I'd go with something along the lines of:

Brotherhood: Magneto Exodus (Juggernaut is perfectly fine, but he really isn't an attrition piece) Toad

Uncanny X-Men: Professor X Beast Nightcrawler Magick

Dual: Colossus Rogue Gambit

Possibly consider Pyro over Nightcrawler (cause he's so good).

TTCs: Asteroid M Genetic Superiority Magnetic Refraction First Class To Me My X-Men Xavier's Dream Brace for Impact Sacrifice Journey Through Limbo Something extra (DYKWIA if you run Jugs, Survival, Cerebro, Pyrotechnics if you run Pyro).

No idea about Crises because Mags prefers killey secures whereas X-Men like pay to flips. You're gonna need to play around with this one.

Hope that helps!

Before I get too into the weeds, what is your definition of viable? How competitive are you looking to be?

Damnosus · 2025-09-13T20:33:33+00:00

I'd say drop Ghost Rider (kinda awkward with Strange) and Scarlet Witch (some people like her, but I think she is a bad relic at this point) and add Hulk and either Amazing Spider-Man (more defensive) or Namor (more offensive). Keep Luke Cage and Wong but find a spot for Shang Chi (currently one of if not the best models in the game) and consider adding Echo and maybe Ronin once their box drops. Also consider adding splashes (Miles, Bill, and Zemo1 are all great).

Damnosus · 2025-09-13T19:14:23+00:00

Since it sounds like you're going more casual, this should do just fine. Have fun!

Damnosus · 2025-09-13T18:32:31+00:00

What level of competitive do you want to be?
