Smuph?

ermm

And I'll post my thoughts on teams soon. Or... eventually.

Good stuff.

Although, how do you amalgam a dog with Captain Comet?

Never trading you that Reed/Sage/Blackbolt now... though I can't even remember who you wanted.

Thoughts on teams...

Blair

Single Pick1- Wundarr the Aquarian
Amalgam1- Madison Jeffries (with Box)/Professor Ivo
Amalgam2- Element Lad/Brainiac5

So far, his plan seems somewhat obvious.

Also dangerous.

A couple distinct holes, but, if B-Dub covers them with his next picks, he could have one of the top teams so far.

Goober

Single Pick1- Absorbing Man
Amalgam1-He-Man/Skeletor
Amalgam2-Monica Rambeau (Photon)/Warrior

So... I can tell the direction some of his amalgams are going in thus far. Individually they're powerful, but I'm waiting to see how they'll mesh together in a grand scheme.

Someone to keep an eye on, for sure though. Goob knows what he's doing.

Grey Fox

Single Pick1- Magneto
Amalgam1- Dagon (Humanoid form)/Ranark
Amalgam2-Monster-in-the-Iron-Mask/Karate Kid (Pre-c)

Choosing lesser known characters is generally both a blessing, in that they're harder to prep for, and harder to ban, and a curse because they can be hard to provide proof for and such.

Other than that, I dunno what to say about Fox's team.

Smurph

Single Pick1- Black Bolt
Amalgam1- Reed Richards/Sage
Amalgam2-Firestorm (Ronnie)/Meggan

Clearly the best team so far.

Moving on...

Charlotte

Single Pick1- X-Man
Amalgam1- Engineer II/Brainiac8
Amalgam2-Yellowjacket/Shift

Solid picks so far, and definitely ways to work them together... but I'm only seeing potential for high power without total ability to fill it so far... we shall see.

Bran

Single Pick1- Martian Manhunter
Amalgam1- Northstar/Juggernaut
Amalgam2-Cable/Nova

Straightforward.

Very strong telepathic team too.. in addition to raw might and speed. Covers quite a few bases... clearly a contender, IMO.

Laminator X

Single Pick1- Loki
Amalgam1- Spider-Man (circa Civil War)/Atlas
Amalgam2-Cassandra Nova/Cloak

Prediction: His plan will either be epic win, or contrived fail. I'm curious as to how the remaining picks will flesh out his team.

Trick

Single Pick1- Dr. Arthur Light
Amalgam1- Ikaris/ Atom (Ray Palmer)
Amalagam2-Metamorpho/Mar-vell

Nice picks so far... again, it's hard to tell what 's what with the team so far. Trick always has a plan, feasible or otherwise.

Devil lance

Single Pick1- Maxima
Amalgam1- Ronan the accuser/Super-skrull
Amalgam2-Captain Comet (current)/Krypto

Some of the best picks in the tourney so far, but I'm not seeing the grand plan. Which either means it's very good, or non-existant, and the team will operate solely on might.

Leo

Single Pick1- Sersi
Amalgam1- Flash (Jay Garrick)/Forge
Amalgam2-Savitar/Vulcan

Stole three of my picks. Utter bastard.

But Leo's out to win the Champ title, so... watch out.

Akuki

Single Pick1- Dr. Doom
Amalgam1- Nova (Frankie Raye)/Supergirl
Amalgam2-Captain Britain/Lionheart

I'm a little bit speculative, because he drafted the version of Britain with the amulet... but, he's had some favored picks so far.

Pr1983

Single Pick1- Firestorm (current)
Amalgam1- Red Tornado (JLA #12)/Steven Lang (Phalanx Infected)
Amalgam2-Wonderwoman/Manchester Black

No f*cking idea where Paul is going with this, if his plan is centered around that first amalgamation... I'll pay attention when his matches are up.

Martian

Single Pick1- Nightshade
Amalgam1- Mr Terrific 2/Sand
Amalagam2-Forerunner/Supernova

Again, some nice picks so far... but we'll wait to see his team fleshed out. Martian's chosen picks he knows about, but are slightly obscure, so he probably won't have as much trouble as I'm anticipating Fox will with proof and whatnot.
