That’s it. I’m back on the wagon with a single goal: Complete my Resolution. There will likely be no jank decks posted on here while I’m shooting for this goal. I’ll be putting up roughly two articles a week which will get me done with the Resolution in the year required by the skin of my teeth.
There will also be a very small change to the rules of Resolution and that is that playtesting is no longer a requirement. There are certain decks you can look at and just go “Yeah, that’s how that one works”. That’ll also lighten my workload quite a bit since I can just build established decks and post my thoughts. Yes, it’s cheap but it’ll help me get this done.
Just as a reminder, here’s the list of decks I need to build by the end of the year:

A few of those decks I’m going to purposefully avoid building for a short time, specifically X-Men and Brotherhood since MEV comes out soon and I want to see what support they get. However, pretty much everything else is fair game. Oh, and speaking of MEV, they don’t count for this Resolution because they’re entering the year so late. Yes, I know. It’s cheap. But I need to hedge my bets. If I turn out to have time to build them, I will. If not, then we’re sticking with the above list.
For those who need a refresher on the rules of the Resolution…
The Great Vs. Resolution Guidelines:
“All characters must share a printed affiliation, at least 50% of non-character cards must be team or character-stamped, remaining cards must be from the same universe as the affiliation for the deck, deck must be in as recent of a format as possible.”
Off the top of my head, I know a few decks that will likely break those rules a bit but that’s not to big of a deal. Again, I want to get this done. I’m putting on blinders and just running forwards. Hopefully I’ll hit Juggernaut levels of speed and become unstoppable *fingers crossed*.
Enough babbling about that. It’s time to actually do this thing. This week’s deck is based around the Manhunters. I don’t know much about the Manhunters other than they were the “space police” previous to the Green Lanterns, went rogue, have a tendency to have sleeper agents, appear to have Borg-ish tendencies, and like to overwhelm the opponent with tons of robots. With that knowledge, here is my take on the Manhunters.
