GREEN CONSTRUCT CREATION
Green Constructs do not start the game on the battlefield. After revealing an Order Marker on Green Lantern's Army Card, you may immediately place one Green Construct in your army that is not on the battlefield on any empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of that Green Lantern. You may not create any additional Green Constructs this turn. If you no longer control any Green Lanterns, destroy all Green Constructs you control.

GREEN CONSTRUCT CONTROL
After revealing an Order Marker on Green Lantern's Army Card, instead of attacking with that Green Lantern, you may take a turn with any Green Construct you control. Green Construct may only attack, move, or take a turn in this manner. You may not take any additional turns with other Green Constructs this turn.

DARING DECOY
Figures engaged with this Green Construct can only attack figures that have the Daring Decoy special power.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

I feel like it's a bit strong, physically, for a decoy... and it feels weird that it can only be used once per game. But I think it's solid overall.

[A3n]

I don't get how it's a doppelganger?

[quozl]

It's a doppelganger because it's a copy of the green lantern who created it.

Do you think it should be a common hero? it just seems that a construct usually is only used once per story but maybe this is an exception.

[johnny139]

I think it'd be interesting to have a bunch of Decoys flying around taking attention from your Lanterns. But that's just me, I'm also fine with it as-is if we'd prefer that.

[IAmBatman]

Having a bunch of Decoys flying around does make thematic sense .... The Adaptoid figure isn't that expensive, is it?

Though we could also go Uncommon to prevent you from wanting too many, and to prevent us from stealing the thunder of the Green Construct Shield too much.

Also, are we OK with using the Adaptoid figure here? Is there another mini available for use as an actual Adaptoid?

[Lord Pyre]

The adaptoid figure is like 49 cents, humanoid, and green. Pretty perfect for this.

I don't know what an Adaptoid is otherwise, though.

[johnny139]

Super-Adaptoid once created an army of lesser clones of himself known as the Adaptoids. I don't really see any reason to design them, but there's a Super-Adaptoid figure that's the same thing only flesh-toned that would work just as well.

[IAmBatman]

True - and there's a better mini for Super-Adaptoid himself out there, right?

[johnny139]

Yeah, MUCH BETTER. I think we're good.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. I'd be good with Common Hero or Uncommon Hero here, then, though I think I lean toward Uncommon Hero due to the fairly tough stats (telling me it's more substantial) and not wanting to feel too similar to the Shield Constructs.
