MBBL2 Teams Not Taken

My current MBBL2, Da Squig Humpaz, has done nicely but I think I'm ready for a new challenge. I'd like to play something different that hasn't really been played in the league much, if at all. I'd commit to playing the team at least two seasons so we can see how they advance and do over ten games. I was thinking about Araby Unholy. That team looks like it takes quite a bit to get rolling, but could be real fun after a few dervish deaths. Anyone, particularly Galak, have any suggestions on teams they'd like to see played? I'm open to suggestions.

The Kislev, Wee Folk, Unholy Araby, Holy Araby, and Valkyrie have never been played in the MBBL2 and I'd be interested to see someone try.

The Unholy Araby is a team that I think if you play the team smart ... start with a Dervish with a Ball And Chain and never apothecary him .... you could have a VERY fun team if you are willing to be patient and develop it. Its the patience part that I think has made no one ever take the team.

Very surprised that no one has ever played Valkyries (considering the popularity of the Phil Phigs of the same name).

If it wasn't for the fact the Fimir are getting interesting, I'd offer to run one of these teams next season. Maybe if I get a place in the WBBJ-L next season.

IIRC Kim is starting a Unholy Araby team in the WBBL now.

I personally believe that the Kislev team could be a very difficult team to play against. All that Jump Up - if I ever decide to retire my Norse team, this is where I would probably go.

Hi.

Hmm...in my own little League (CSBBL

), there is one who is playing a Valkyrie Team. He only played 1 game yet, and this against very lucky Draconians, so I can't say much about it atm, but I could give a little review after the season is done (which could take a bit, as I don't have a real game limit atm

Btw. talking about fun teams, Night Goblins are fun

4 Squigs and 4 Fanatics can bring fun, especially if you have all 8 on the field at once

Greetings,

Thomas.

After talking to Galak, and making sure you can temporarily retire teams, I'm going to run a Va;lkyrie squad in the next MBBL2 season, and possibly the one after that.

So if anyone has used them in another PBeM or TT league, and has some pointers on what to include in the startin roster, etc, please pass on your knowledge.
