I have been seeing a lot of decks that carry the claim of "Curve" in their titles, can someone please explain exactly what "curve" means. Is there a curve better then other curves?

I read somewhere that the PCQs are played with Modern age decks only. To my understanding Modern age is Web of Spide y and Marvel Knights. What sets are considered what? What about the DC sets?
 
Modern age preaty much consists of Only the 2 most recent sets.

so if you play at a DC modern age tournament right now, you are only allowed to use Origins and Superman.

If its Marvel then its Marvel knights and Web of Spidey.

now once Green Lantern gets released the Modern age for DC will become Superman and Green Lantern.

I never really understood the whole Curve thing. I belive the Whole Curve is based on a Drop count.

every turn you drop the character for that turn. etc.. i never really understood it my self. :D
 
I always thought the curve (in relationship to VS.) refered to the charater's atk value.

In other words, if the average atk for a 3 drop is 4 and I have a 3 drop that has an atk value of 5 I'm picking my characters on the basis that their atk values are all above the curve.

I'm by no means a VS. guru though...so take it with a grain of salt.
 
hmm, i somehow thought it was like catching your drops, cause we have Bullseye on turn 4 that is 9. and a 3drop super girl that is like 5 i belive.

i wonder if curve does go by atk / defense value, then what is the normal curve, beatdown curve, mini curve.
 
Curve was explained to me when I was new to the game as being the ability to curve all your drops (or hit all your drops). If you run a straight curve deck you're not just aiming to hit any character on your drops, you aiming to hit a specific 1 drop on 1, 2 drop on 2, 3 drop on 3, 4 drop on 4, 5 drop on 5, 6 drop on 6, 7 drop on 7, etc.

The best way to ensure that you hit a specific drop on that turn is to run multiple copies of that character. Hense why most of the time you see the word curve it has to do with Sentinels, since most of the character cards in a Curve Sentinel deck are army characters, you're bound to run enough to ensure that you'll have a good chance of hitting them on the Appropriate turns.
 
See I always thought it was about what drops are the most in your deck. I ran a team superman deck that ran 4 2 drop, 4 three drop, 5 five drops, 3 six drops, 2 seven drops and 2 eight drops. I posted it on a site that did like ratio stats on decks and they said the deck was a 3.25 curve. the deck i run now has certain cards for each drop. though some are alternate drop cards that i can run in two seperate drops that i can run in a pinch, but i have them designated for certain drops. But yeah i too see curve used mostly to describe sentinal decks.
 
Help discribed it best so far

It means that you run one character at every drop.

You are not going to run 4 of one character and 2 of another character at the same drop. Thats what it means as far a Sentinals.

"To hit your curve"- is just hitting your character drops to the fullest.

Thats what i know.....
