I'm going to do a lot more number-crunching shortly, but here is an interesting early find. Domino combos very well with Lockjaw and Baron Zemo. She benefits from Lockjaw's movement ability more than most rapid fire characters (punisher and Winter Soldier can both move on their own using power). She gets more damage out of rerolls and extra dice than any other rapid-fire character and her incinerate helps Baron as well. (assuming 3 defense) If she incinerates on turn one, baron can charge in afterward to hit for an average of 2 with his builder. For his second attack, if he uses the power that all of his dice rerolls, his highest odds are 3 damage instead. (If lockjaw gives an extra dice, his highest odds are tied to do 2 or 3 damage on his builder, and tied to do 3 or 4 damage if he uses his reroll power. If you charge on the first hit and reroll the second, you have a 17% chance to hit for a total of 5 and a 17% chance to hit for 6 damage total. Turn 1 lockjaw "shares" 3 power and keeps one. He moves. Domino moves beside him and incinerates a target. Baron charges in with his long move to hit the target. If he generates two power (and the enemy is within oneshot range), he spends it on master swordsman. Otherwise save it for next round. Here is where it gets nutty on turn 2. Domino, with incinerate and baron's reroll and all of her actions on rapid attacks, she has greater odds of dealing 10 total damage than her odds of dealing any other single number. With lockjaw's extra dice, that number goes up to 12 per round. Lockjaw also has enough power to give everyone one extra dice on a target and to teleport domino into the range of baron's extra dice buff. She can't get rolling until round 2 though.

Finally finished my take on the unaffiliated roster. It becomes Cabal at threat 14, 18, and 20. Lockjaw (Gives everyone power using R&D turn 1) Baron Zemo (Makes every threat level) Venom (Makes every threat level, pulls people turn 1 into the deathball) Red Skull (one extra threat to replace lockjaw, gives everyone power using R&D turn 1) Sabretooth (was almost Killmonger instead. Combos so well with Heimdal, can get a turn 1 kill on a flank using "no matter the cost") Thor (my favorite counter to big threats like MODOK or She-Hulk) Heimdal (Tricky combos with venom) Gamora (long move + attack + assassin leap, has turn 1 kill pressure akin to Sabretooth) Nebula (Gamora and nebula use their team tactic's card to Daze a flanker on turn 1) Winter Soldier (Benefits a ton from rerolls or lockjaw's extra dice, benefits a lot from Cabal's leadership) The core for unaffiliated is Baron + Lockjaw + Venom (10 threat). The core for Cabal is Baron + Red Skull + Venom (11 threat). @14: (Cabal) Baron + Red Skull + Venom +Winter Soldier (Winter and Baron flank together) @15: (Unaffiliated) Baron + Lockjaw + Venom + Thor @16: (Unaffiliated) Baron + Lockjaw + Venom + Gamora + Nebula @17: (Unaffiliated) Baron + Lockjaw + Venom + Gamora + Winter (Gamora flanks, winter and zemo kill whoever venom grabs, zemo moves last) @18: (Cabal) Baron + Red Skull + Venom + Sabretooth + Heimdall (Sabretooth on the flank possibly with Baron) @19 (Unaffiliated) Baron + Lockjaw + Venom + Gamora + Nebula + Winter Soldier @20 (Cabal) Baron + Red Skull + Venom + Sabretooth + Thor (Thor focuses on attrition, staggering the big fellas and trying to throw characters into each other) Team Tactics: Advanced R&D (Most important card) Weapon X Program (Sabretooth) No matter the cost Sacrifice Lethal Protector (Venom) Last-minute Save (Lockjaw) Indominable Patch up Cosmic Invigoration (Red Skull) Daughter of Thanos (Gamora/Nebula) I almost took Mystique because she pulls people turn 1, has great defense up close, and counters Rocket Racoon/Groot. Almost took Killmonger instead of Sabretooth. Valkyrie and Heimdall were competing for the same spot as well at the 18 threat level. Valkyrie just uses power so well, especially in Cabal, but Heimdal and venom have so much synergy.

People told me unaffiliated couldn't work! Ha! Well done for showing them the error of their ways!

I enjoyed this video. I love how so many people say this or that model isn’t good but it just needs the right list.

Super enjoyable video!

Congratulations on getting to the highest score of Rogue Agent! Also really funny someone made it to 500 rating for Unaffiliated before anyone got 500 Affiliation for Inhumans

Great rundown of the list and how it works and evolved.

Leeds man. No wonder I love him.

This breaks all the tiers and tips I’ve been hearing from you Rich! How the hell?

Hi, I'm loving the idea of this list - Just wondering if you'd considered Iron Fist? He seems to be doing all the things you want characters to be doing

Great video. I'm curious as to whether you considered Red Skull instead of Lockjaw? Use his Cosmic Cube power to generate the 3 power and share that via Advanced R&D. He costs 1 more threat but Cabal affiliation and his other powers might make it worthwhile. I haven' got Lockjaw so was looking at other options to achieve a similar strategy.

Hello :D Criminal sindicate guide? maybe would love it hehehehhehe

what is the program you are using to show the cards and select them? Also any tips for using Hulk on a team? I don't see many people talking about using him since his update and i kinda want to make a silly hulk list with lockjaw on it since Hulk loves puppies.

Do you ever run into the issue of wanting to grab someone turn 1 with venom but everyone you could grab would get stuck on cover/terrain?

Is hulk a decent option here, or is there something making him not fit so well?

Superguaint card is out
