C O N C E P T :

I've been using this deck a lot in the past few months since 
Image OverPower came out. It was my best attempt at making great 
use of the new Any-Power 8 that I got in my first few packs. It 
also resparked my interest in Any Hero Specials, which I hadn't 
touched in a long, long time. Without the Battlesite to protect 
my Characters, I looked hard for wide defense; "who to attack 
first?" Teammate Avoids, works for me.

S T R A T E G I E S :

Say aloud to your opponent "Discard 'em if you got 'em" when you 
draw the "NO ACTIVATORS" EVENT and Venture big if they lose half 
of their hand or more. If they're playing an Any Hero deck too, 
um, don't say anything, just redraw for the Event quietly.

Don't place the defensive Specials if you can possibly help it. 
It's important that your opponent not know whose TEAMMATE AVOID 
you may have in hand. JUSTICE LEAGUE a big hit away from a 
defending Character if you have their AD and they know it.

Luckily most players' favorite target, Heroes For Hire, is 
protected by every AD possible. If your opponent decides to 
attack someone else to try to stick you with unusable ADs, noone 
can punish them for leaving them alone better than H4H.

Your Serpents might draw fire for their Negate power so hope for 
the WITCHBLADE EVENT which will let them block with 7's and 8's. 
It's also hoped that it might come up in the unlucky "event" 
that your two level 8 Character get KO'd and all you're left 
with is two max-6 schmoes.

Having the two must-block attacks that cause discards from hand 
if successful, especially combined with Power Leech, is fun. A 
lot of times you'll find yourself with a CLEF BLADE and a WHITE 
TIGER...you can use one to ferret out a Negate or other defense 
and follow-up with another one (alternate to keep the opponent 
guessing). Play Teamworks before them, to deplete the defense 
against them ahead of time, or save the Teamworks for afterwards 
knowing that their chances of hurting have been helped, it all 
depends on your KO strategy at the time.

Any time I don't need the Intellect icon, I'll use the old 
MultiPower Power cards that only have Energy-Fighting-Strength 
on them. This is insurance that an opponent using Grunge won't 
be able to defend these crutial KO attacks with his Dense "avoid 
an Intellect icon" Special.

T W E A K S :

Add the "CyberForce Vs. The Mercs" (no shifting) Event if any 
Barneys in your area are still playing with Vertigo or Four 
Freedoms. Otherwise this deck has already been tweaked to the 
max by myself, as I have played it in quite a few competitive 
tournaments, even winning one.
