**3004 Earth Olympiad** All Athletic cards are Cheered for 50% of their base Attack value every turn and are Shielded for 20% of their base Health every turn. Starts Thursday, 07/18/19 at 14:00 GMT, ends Thursday, 08/29/19 at 14:00 GMT. This Athletic BGE will affect two upcoming Rumbles: one starting on 07/18/19 and another starting on 08/08/19. What do you think will be a strong Athletic combo during this BGE?

Can any mod delete this message it double posted

Cheer and shield are too strong, fighter didn't stand a chance the previous rumble and it will be the same for this one, might as well end fighter bge early it won't make a difference The previous rumbles where dominated by wingnut and it will be same for the next 2, bad planning from the developer

So, will Gender Bender & Wrestler Amy get both sets of BGE bonuses? If so, they're gonna be hot shit in the upcoming Rumble...

Ooops, posted twice.

If so, they're gonna be hot shit in the upcoming Rumble... They will get both BGE bonuses, yes, but will probably be too weak against the mainstream combos of either BGE. Though I am preparing a deck with delusory glee.

I haven't actually taken a look yet to see how it will look with these specific buffs, but in general, Wrestler Amy is arguably her 2nd-worst combo (behind Delivery Marmoset, IMHO). I will probably do everything I can to avoid playing Wrestler Amy, especially since Wingnut Amy has Athletic and is arguably Amy's best combo, at least offensively). If you're playing an all-Athletic deck, the only way to make Wrestler is with Blernsball, which would have to raise the dead AND walk on water before I'd put it in my deck.

I suspect I'm just at a way lower level than you guys because, to me, adding 80% crazed to even a shitty card is pretty sweet lol. Out of interest; what do you guys think the real big hitters are gonna be? EDIT: Ohhhh, just realised that Athletic BGE is cheered, not crazed. That changes things and makes me a bit sad!

That changes things and makes me a bit sad! Some may feel that Gender Bender and Wrestler Amy won't be a threat to the Wingnuts, and they're just plain wrong. Not only will they survive the 1st round, they will be unstoppable if paired with a Bodyguard combo in slot 2.

U guys realize that cheer CAN"T BE HIJACK so rip any of the hijack combos...at least with fighter we can hijack that dam craze, now with cheer they will be literally unstoppable...topping it off with the shield is absolute overkill think addicted was bad, this will be 100x worse!

Not only will they survive the 1st round, they will be unstoppable if paired with a Bodyguard combo in slot 2. It won't stand a chance you will need more than 40 atk to do damge to wingnut amy cm2, so you will need cm2 gender bender with a quad Arlen ymca or deathball to get that damage, it's not a bad combo it will give a lot of trouble but it's far from the top also a lot of players have cm2 amy can't say the same for gender bender and I doubt it will work without cm

Shield is decent, but it's easily undone with jab. Athletic also has lots of craze, boost, and motivate, so hijack will still be good. What would really kill off a pure athletic deck is a cripple/jab/gas deck. Drunk Peter comes to mind.

Just going to cancel each other out..move on to the other cards in play now. Jab will be popular skill for athletic BGE I think

Reminder: the 3004 Earth Olympiad begins tomorrow!
