My 'Evil' Beyonder deck

    You can thank Drew for coming up with the name for this deck of mine.
    I have noticed over the past few months that there are a lot of tournament decks using Beyonder.  While I know I cannot take credit for this increase in popularity, I did first make this deck in May of 1998 as possibly a killer of the Vertigo and Venture 7 decks that were so popular before Nationals.

    This deck has been so much fun to play, when the right cards are drawn of course.  This deck can be very frustrating for the opponent, especially when he does not know just how many avoids you may have left in your hand.
    Holocaust is the Reserve character and I have thought about switching him for Scarlet Witch.  With Scarlet Witch you gain a potent special, her "Opponent must discard 1 placed card," but you lose the 6 Strength.
    Recently I replaced Holocaust with Sarlet Witch.  So far, it was a glorious success in the first game and I made some terrible mistakes in the second game.
