Effect Whenever Kimiyio Hohsi team attacks you may stun target no defending character with a cost less than the number of team attackers.

I like outsiders even more now..

[spidersenses79]

outsiders could be nastier than golden age titans:D

[Mephisto_Jak]

So ridiculously cheap.
GOD!
Mix with IG.

Some of these outsiders are just plain outright broken. If these are the kind of effects they are going to continue to trigger on all their characters then they are just unstoppable.

So with this Dr. Light in the attack. I can not only stun a character on the board. I can then also use the plot twist to remove the character being attacked from the board, effectively clearing board and now opening it up for straight damage to the face?

Pump this with all of the brokeness that is already Teen Titans in Golden Age and now they are even better at clearing a matched swarm. absolutely ridiculous.

Since when have the Titan's or the Outsiders been this good? Need i say they are always in battles against team on One battles against characters like Deathstroke and **cough** Black Adam and not showing this teamwork?

Not to mention when they are going up against other Teams of evil baddies. they are not manhandling them with the power given and expressed in these Versus cards.

Back to this card. There is no drawback. None other than she has to be team attacking. but who cares when i can use her effect over and over with Press the Attack!

Wow, Forget Roy, no need for that now. I can just trigger this ability. Dumb! obviously they have been developin this set in a bubble.

[Majin_Spawn]

omg this is pretty good

[SeventhSoldier]

Wow. This is good. The best part is, it feels pretty balanced. I mean, think about your average Teen Titans deck. They have trouble getting/keeping 6 characters on the field - that's their max. So, the Outsiders will dominate the early game, but if they can't kill quickly, they'll just start to fall more and more behind.

Unless you combine them with...idunno, say...Madrox?

[nhohn]

That plottwist (Batman and the Outsiders) only targets non-defenders, so no fair trying to double up on your licks through team attacking and bouncing.

My guess is just about everything will target non-defenders to keep the shenannigans to a (relative) minimum.

[I_Avian]

Gotta point out that for this or Batman and the Outsiders to be in any way decent OUtsiders have to maintain a decent board in the face of opposing attacks. Which has been the death of any team attack team without off-inititiative brokenness like Roy and Terra.

Posting from Greece feels odd, but whatever :P

I had no idea Dr. Light was part of the Outsiders, but damn, I am hoping to use(abuse) her! I was expecting one of the newer ones, but I guess since they previewed Katana(oldie and a goodie) they said "let's go old-school!"

The team-attacking thing is something odd for me, but since I love the Outsiders so much, I will be glad to attempt it!

@Neil-The Outsiders are quite strong! ;) Hell, not the fan's fault that Winnick only sends them against Mallah and the Brain. The guy must have a fetish for monkeys or something.

made easier in teaming them up with Teen Titans and/or Legion and even easier given the number of low drops released for teen titans and legion.

Speedy you may be right, but they are not that powerful. they keep smashing walls when they do get into those fights and when they fight others even in team on one they show nothing indicative of these cards.

[Guglio]

Man these cards are ridiclous.

WF forever!

Speedy, while you might be a newer version of the Outsiders fan, Ive been a fan since my brother bought their first appearance in The Brave and the Bold #200 (1983)

Their members have included

Batman
Black Lightning
Geo-Force
Halo
Katana
Metamorpho
Looker
Windfall (a clone)
Windfall (Wendy Jones)
Atomic Knight (Gardner Grayle)
Felix Faust
Technocrat
Wylde
Eradicator
Dervish
Terra (Tara Markov)
Dr. Light (Kimiyo Hoshi)
Arsenal (now part of the Justice League as Red Arrow)
Grace
Indigo (now deceased)
Shift (now a part of Metamorpho again)
Thunder (Anissa Pierce)
Nightwing
Jade (now deceased)
Huntress
Starfire
Captain Marvel, Jr.
Captain Boomerang (Owen Mercer)
Metamorpho

They certainly have a very nice roster in which to choose from. As for this new Dr Light, I say perfect in every way especailly if her ability will be as useful as I think it is. I certainly hope and believe a plot twist will be released called the "The Insiders" for the storyline in which superboy and indigo went crazy (due to lex and indigo actually being brainiac 8)

[Mephisto_Jak]

You have Metamorpho twice.

Anyways, if the Outsiders are steering towards a team attacking theme, then I don't want to play them. Nothing against team attacking, but that's just not my style.
