Ok, I Came into this quite late so cut me a little slack about the time it's taken me to vote.
On the plus (and possibly minus) side, I haven't read any of the previous matches, draft threads or discussion thread, so my decision is based entirely on this one thread.
First thing I'd like to mention was a part of Smurph's prep that made me laugh (but was eventually dropped) Anti-Metal weapons along with adamantium room and armour ... this amused me as your suits would dissolve and the cannon would fall through the floor before you could use it (and would destroy any devices you brought that contained metals)
Secondly, Both teams claimed to have Reed Richards ... wtf is that about?
Anyway, I have no intention of dragging this on for too long.
Smurph: I wasn't convinced of the Deity = infinite power thing, so I didn't believe the claims of power = to Solar (not that I've read anything with him in it, so it wouldn't influence me too much anyway)
Leo: Your N Zone power draining phase space bomb ... it wouldn't work, Ult Reed knows about this and has been trying to cure the Thing for a long time, if he could easily select a phase state for him he would have done it long ago.
Smurph: Using "the red" to copy popuppian power (sounds like something from Scooby Doo) There's no proof that the red even exists in Marvel, if it did you'd still need proximity (afaik) and the popuppian home world was destroyed by Galactus which might further impede this idea.
Leo: Adaptoid formula? this wasn't backed up by anything I've seen.
Smurph: Deity grants everyone uber powers ... how? if Firestorms body couldn't contain the powers you wanted, why would anyone else's?
Obviously there was a LOT of speculation about how powers might mesh and how prep & tech might work, quite a bit of which just didn't seem feasible to me.
Leo's main character Emp Speed seemed much more likely to work out than Deity, even if he wouldn't have complete control of the speed force, he seems easily capable of granting speed, which is why I think Leo's team would be able to transport their bombs before Smurph's team could react.
So my vote goes to Leo for having the slightly less unbelievable prep & plan.
Well done to both, no hard feelings Smurph (or whatever the hell your screen name is by the time you read this)
One last thing. I've had my own share of almost completely unbelievable tourney plans, I now have a little more understanding for the judges who voted against me in those tourneys .... separating the genius from the ludicrous takes a while .... and sometimes you're just weighing the difference between two sets of ludicrousitynessosciousness.
