The AI doesn't seem to focus on one particular color; it tends to acquire all colors somewhat randomly. So the chances that it will get 9 purple and 9 blue within a couple moves of each other, don't seem all that remote.

Even if you knew where the trap tile was though, it would likely be in a hard to reach place if it lasted long enough that it was the only tile left without an attack tile on purple.

Looking at the 4*s, yellow looks to be the weakest color...Fury has a strong yellow, but the same colors, so you won't play them together. Carnage is an obvious pairing, I feel like HB might be a decent pairing. Thing would be a good pairing, trying to get rid of tiles could easily lead someone doing something stupid that triggers Thing. On the lower end, Patch looks good, but low health makes him 'meh'. Anyway long story short, the more I look into it, yellow seems to be his cornerstone power...like it may not be his best, but it will get cast no matter what, you can easily 'fall' into 7 yellow...so having two extra turns means there is a good chance you can keep it up the entire or near the entire fight. At that point its really making verse stealing. The instances where you want to steal a bunch of tiles are actually unimportant. Boosted Storm hurts, but its rare, and none of those tiles are so strong that you really want them like Patch of Thing...you realyl just want to blow them off the board. Falcon...unimportant in general...and yes I cape up for him when the time is right...talking 4*s, falcon can sit down at the Baby Avenger table. CMags, worth noting, but yellow isn't an endgame, just an annoyance that within one match and a couple CDs will be gone. I vote 'making' So I'd go 535. Pair with HB and Thing. he needs beef in front to get 18ap ... I'd entertain going 355 if I had Carnage and went for 5 in his black and teamed them with Devil Dinosaur or Iron Fist...low AP attacks to trigger carnage with Antman changing them over. could also go Carnage/Antman/PX if you really wanted to piss people off. - Unreall
