A Cerebro deck that wants every card sitting at the same power, so one card lifts the whole board. It needs Cerebro, and Valkyrie carries it when the board goes wrong.
The goal for this deck is to hold Bast until you can hit Cerebro and Mystique. That rarely happens, but that is a good thing to plan for.
Valkyrie bails you out of mismatched cards or setting your Cerebro and other cards to 3 if you need it.
I am not a fan of the Cerebro decks. Too many things go wrong with locations and things like affliction. Valkyrie paid off big in this session.
Other people can play C3 well - I am less confident.
the songs
Written from the deck itself - every song starts at one card's mechanic.
song 1
Overwrite Me
Lyrics
[verse]
I have been a doorway and a wall
the same few faces come and take their place
they lay their hands down level with the ground
and not one of them looks up at my face
I keep the ground swept clean for what comes next
I keep my name to myself and I wait
[chorus]
Make me over, make me new
I don't care what I become
I have held this same small number
since the first one laid it down
make me over, make me new
anything you have is fine
[verse]
I've heard the talking stop, the door swing shut
I've watched a wordless one lie down and leave
one moves along the edge and won't sit still
one only says whatever the last one said
I don't get a say in what they make of me
the scarlet hand is coming, let it come
[chorus]
Make me over, make me new
I don't care what I become
I have held this same small number
since the first one laid it down
make me over, make me new
anything you have is fine
[inst]
[bridge]
Bast the hand to level, all one size
Valkyrie the field and level mine
Cerebro the matching, raise them high
Chameleon the neighbor, wear his kind
Sentinel the row, and send another one
Mobius the price, and never let it run
Luke Cage the front, and hold them where they stand
Mystique the last word, cup it in my hand
[chorus]
Make me over, make me new
I don't care what I become
I have held this same small number
since the first one laid it down
make me over, make me new
anything you have is fine
[outro]
make me over, make me new
anything you have will do
turn me into anything
anything at all
song 2
Already Three
Lyrics
[verse]
They laid their hands out on the table
and made them all the same.
The Sentinels stood in a row
and they never called my name.
[chorus]
We all stand at the same height now
the same height, every one.
The tallest head gets lifted up
and the tallest one is all of us.
I was already standing
I was already three.
[verse]
They held the price and held the doorway
nothing could take me down.
Valkyrie laid her hand out slowly
until the whole row was one.
[chorus]
We all stand at the same height now
the same height, every one.
The tallest head gets lifted up
and the tallest one is all of us.
I was already standing
I was already three.
[inst]
[bridge]
Mystique has a hundred faces
Nightcrawler has the road.
Scarlet moves the ground she stands on
I never had to go.
Nobody asked me for a thing
and we took the whole thing home.
[chorus]
We all stand at the same height now
the same height, every one.
The tallest head gets lifted up
and the tallest one is all of us.
I was already standing
I was already three.
[outro]
Count me with the tall ones
count me with the line.
M'Baku was already three.
Nobody had to raise me.
song 3
The Same Height
Lyrics
[verse]
You laid your hand out flat and straight
you set them all the same before you played
then brought a valkyrie to the room
to make us even where we stand.
I had six good shapes an hour ago
now I've got one number and your name.
[chorus]
Same height, same height
you brought us all to the same height
and then you raised your own.
I'm standing where you set me
I will not ask you to come down.
[verse]
You shut the room so nothing answers
you made the price a thing that never moves
there's always one more of you coming
and the copy knows the words by hand.
I tried to bring your best one down
he stands, and he will not come down.
[chorus]
Same height, same height
you brought us all to the same height
and then you raised your own.
I'm standing where you set me
I will not ask you to come down.
[inst]
[bridge]
You made us all the same height
that has to cut both ways.
Whatever you have lifted up
stands on the ground I'm standing on.
And the brain that counts for you
is standing on the same ground too.
[chorus]
Same height, same height
you brought us all to the same height
and then you raised your own.
I'm standing where you set me
I will not ask you to come down.
[outro]
I'll hold the height you gave me.
Same height. Same height.
I will not ask you to come down.
