Ah Lex Luthor. Will you ever get that Diabolical Superman?...

Lex Luthor
Master Manipulator
5/Revenge Squad/Secret Society/7/7
Leader: Stun a ready character with cost X adjacent to Lex Luthor > Put X +1 / +1 counters on Lex Luthor. Use only once per turn and only during the combat phase.

I really, really like Lex Luthor. He is like one of the best badasses in the comic book world that I really want to create a Lex Luthor Legend deck (Three times fast). This Lex Luthor has an interesting ability to put counters on himself. And he could get pretty big, pretty fast.

Unfortunately, stunning one of your own characters is a pretty big price to pay. I don’t like the idea of stunning my own 4 drop just to make Luthor an 11/11. A lot of 5 drops have biggish stats and don’t require much sacrifice. Stunning my 3 drop like Ruin for a 10/10 is nice, but seems to hardly be worth the effort.

Stunning a 6 drop is just really stupid on all accounts. Well, maybe except for Lobo…

In sealed, this card will get you nowhere fast. Losing characters is not the best way to go…

Constructed: 2/5
Sealed: 1/5

When will Lex ever get the elusive Rabbit, I mean, Superman?

jajais4u I like this version of Lex a lot. This truly shows a lot of his character in a great effect. I'm not big on Superman comics, but I do know a bit about him from all the shows. He's extremely manipulative, intelligent and always has a fail safe. His leader ability is the fail safe in this case. Should he be in danger of becoming stunned, he can stun the nearest guy to him to, in the very least, take someone with him. Then again he is Injustice Gang, so he can possibly defend against the attack (Power Siphon). I'm not too much of a fan of the villains, but I like this guy.

Sealed - 4.0
Constructed - 4.5 (I think it's great in draft)
