Resource USUM NU Sample Teams v2.0
co-hosted by
Rabia | approved by the NU Moderator Team | OP adapted from
Finchinator
The aim of this thread is to archive teams that do an exemplary job showcasing certain playstyles / archetypes that are prominent in the current metagame. This can help beginner and intermediate level players get acclimated to the metagame and just be a general tool to those in need of teams.
I'm going to be actively looking for teams to archive and removing any teams that are no longer effective to reflect tier shifts and metagame developments. This thread will not be opened for submissions to ensure only teams of the highest quality are showcased and this resource can be as useful as possible for those in need of it. I'll be looking through the RMT Forum as well as Tournament Team Dump threads for additions, as well as consulting with high level players that are willing to share great teams for this project.
Finally, if you would like a less selective, but larger in quantity supply of teams posted by members of the NU community, feel free to check out the
NU Bazaar and
NU Teambuilding Competition threads.
