JL deck

HI everyone, im new here and i was creating a new deck with some heroes like superman, spiderman and many others.

I don't have a perfect ideia to formulate the deck, so i'm posting this to ppl say what have in mind about it and suggestions of course.

For who get interested, let's try to work together and develop this deck

cya!

Cool idea. I had thought of

Cool idea. I had thought of something similar a while back. The only thing I can see from that one card is that Superman is waaaaay overpowered. I know that Supes is basically the ubergod of the DC universe, but for the purposes of Magic, you might want to scale him back a little bit.

Might I recommend instead giving him the ability to activate different powers based on the what color of deck you put him in?

Ex:

He can be white, 6/5 costing WW5, and have the following abilities:

G: Superman gains trample until end of turn
U: Superman gains flying until end of turn
R: Superman gains first strike until end of turn
W: Superman gains vigilance until end of turn
B: Regenerate Superman

That way Supes has different abilities depending on what kind of deck you put him in.

i agree

I agree with u, Superman is overpowered. I made it quickly, just to show my ideia, and i will made the change u suggest. But im thinking on change the blue effect, to return target nonland card to it owner's hand. Giving flying directly.

im working in others cards, i will post soon. I count with ppl suggests to make them better. It's my first deck and i dont have enough experience to made it the best it could be.

cya!!!

Shouldn't Superman be

Shouldn't Superman be indestructible? Why not change the black ability to B: Superman is indestructible until end of turn (this will make it fit more into the format of the other abilities).

Also, the keywords in your original example are in the wrong order. See Keyword Ultimus here for the ordering. If you go for the five coloured abilities the order should be WUBRG.

Indestructible could be nice

Indestructible could be nice too, anyway i will make that change and show for you.

Flying (6/5)
W: Superman gains vigilance until end of turn.
U: Return target nonland card to its owner's hand.
B: Regenerate Superman. or (Superman is indestructible until the end of turn)
R: Superman gains first strike until end of turn.
G: Superman gains trample until end of turn.

Now its seems like that.

Why not just make him a 6/5

Why not just make him a 6/5 indestructible flyer and cost him at like 7 mana? That nicely captures the scope of his abilities, only leaving out the eyes. I mean, it's cool having him so varied, but it also seems strange, to me. Not very superman-ish.

Sorry for my poor english, but u are suggesting to make superman only a 6/5 indestructible flyer? I think its a way to made him more independent from a variety of mana colors, i like it too.

We can trade this abilities to something similar to this:

"U may look the top card of your library, u can put it on the bottom of your library" (X-Ray vision effect).

PS: The cost of Superman: WW5

Another card:
its a artifact - Utility Belt: 4 mana to play (equip = 2)

Choose one:
Equipped creature
gets +1/+1.
gets first strike.
have T: Deal 1 damage to target creature or player.

Batman tricks =)

cya!

I just felt like Superman

I just felt like Superman was being turned into an overcomplicated mess, so I figured it was time to simplify him and look at what his powers really are. I mean, sure you could say he would also have haste, first strike, trample, vigilance, and all that other crap, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.

The "look at the top card of

The "look at the top card of your library. You may put it on the bottom of your library" doesn't really fit the X-ray vision concept because the library is spells, etc. that you know/can learn. That ability would turn X-ray vision into precognition, which is something Superman doesn't have.
