Builds that aren’t focused around a specific Trait will often include a broad variety of Characters, filling roles that range from “augmenting the theme of a deck” to “addressing a weakness”. Today’s Rainbow list features an eclectic mix of Characters, and its overall concept of “Battle Card searching” took Eric K. to a top 8 finish in the MXOLT III (seen as “Seven Two” on MetaX Netdecker):
Characters:
- Mikasa Ackermann – Battle Genius x3
- Deathstroke – Expert Tactician x3
- Harley Quinn – Queen of Arkham x2
- Robin – Boy Wonder x2
- Batman – The Caped Crusader x2
- Superman – Last Son of Krypton x2
Events:
- Echolocation x1
- Joke’s On You x1
- Peer x1
- Power Corrupts x3
Battle Cards:
- 1 STR/INT/SP (U92-JL) x1
- 1 Intelligence (C41-GL) x3
- 1 Special (R127-BM) x1
- 2 Intelligence (C38-JL) x3
- 2 Special (R128-JL) x2
- 4 Special (C49-JL) x3
- 6 Special (U95-AT) x2
- 6 INT/SP (U99-BM) x2
- 7 Special (R139-JL) x3
Deathstroke and Mikasa anchor the deck around their searching abilities, allowing consistent access to Battle Cards like 2 Intelligence and 7 Special. This form of card advantage is further supplemented by Robin, with Harley Quinn also improving card quality. From there, the dual Rank 7 Justice League URs top off the curve – as both Batman and Superman are capable of throwing the double VP 7 Special. Power Corrupts can combine with 7 Special for two automatic Victory Points, and it also interacts favorably with attacks like 1 Intelligence. Other cards to consider:
- 5 Strength (C55-BM) x1 (searchable, powerful in current meta)
- non-Battle Card answers to Constantine, Superboy-Prime, and [REDACTED] (such as Firestorm or Power Players)
- additional toolboxed “attack” Battle Cards and/or tech cards that can be pitched to Harley (such as 3 Intelligence)
- Echolocation (fit 1-2 more copies by safely reducing overall Battle Card count)
- Bonus: Kyle Rayner – Beacon of Hope (for a variant that splashes a basic BC package and 2 STR/INT/SP (U44-BM) as another unblockable setup that can be found by Mikasa/Deathstroke)
