Last night’s warm-up saw a field dominated by Curve Sentinels, a deck played by more than fifty percent of the competitors. This distribution is in contrast to the expected local metagame, where variants of Teen Titans have proven to be the dominant deck more times than not.
The warm-up’s unusual metagame led to a great deal of speculation among the players regarding what sort of decks would show up today. Fortunately, unlike the players, we metagame.com reporter-types have access to tournament decklists the moment the proceedings get under way. Here, then, is a look at how the decks break down:
DECK # OF PLAYERS
Sentinels 30
Brotherhood 23
Doom 19
Teen Titans 18
X-Men 16
Gotham Knights 11
Fantastic Four 9
Spider-Friends 5
New Gods 2
Daredevil 2
Superman 1
Skrulls 1
Sentinels, while still the most common deck choice, has nowhere near the numbers it was sporting at the warm-up event. It’s a wide-open field, folks. Personally, I’m cheering for the Skrulls.
