		<description>I never got around to building an Illuminati deck, even though there are obvious advantages to arranging the draws on the top of your deck.  Your build inspired me to take a look at some ideas for this mini-team:

2xBlink, Exile
4xLockjaw, Inhuman&#039;s Best Friend
4xBlack Bolt, Illuminati
2xBoris, Doom&#039;s Caretaker
1xCrystal, Elementelle
4xIron Man, Illuminati
1xProfessor X, Headmaster
4xSub-Mariner, Illuminati
1xBlack Bolt, King of the Inhumans
4xMr. Fantastic, Illuminati
4xDr. Strange, Illuminati
3xProfessor X, Illuminati
1xBlack Bolt, Devastating Decree

3xAvalon Space Station
2xDoom&#039;s Throne Room
2xThe Substructure
3xConstruction Site

4xThe Illuminati
4xFurious Assault
4xExtended Family, Team-Up
4xRavaged!

I figured it would be okay to include some non-Illuminati characters (every clandestine society needs unwitting flunkies to aid them in their schemes ;) ), but I still went with Version-favoring pumps with the plan that the Illuminati would be the main ones on the field.  Family is my team-up of choice, as some higher-cost guys are Cosmic and might need replenishment with any extra copies.  And, with all the topdeck-arranging cards, I decided the location-based filter/replacement effects could be a great way to effectively draw into new material, hopefully enhancing deck consistency.  Of course, now I&#039;ll have to build this deck to see if it&#039;ll work anything like I want it to.

A couple of &quot;honorable mentions&quot;: I&#039;d considered using War of Attrition and Engine of Change as replacement effects; with the topdeck-arranging stuff, you&#039;ll be able to blast an opponent&#039;s resource and be confident that if he replaces one of yours that you&#039;ll still get something useful, while Engine can target yourself or your opponent, which can be nicely flexible.  Breaking Story could draw you an appropriately-arranged top card, as could Forge-2, but I went with the Throne Room as being more useful than Story, and Boris for having a more relevant affiliation than Forge.</description>
