OH, I thought you meant opponent....Benoit has too many good recovery cards, the Box probably hurts him as much as it helps though
The Crippler deck plays Hell In A Cell itself, not the opponent. Since Cripplers ability gets around Cell, it can recover hybrids all day long, while the opponent can't.
The trick is that you know HiaC is being thrown out (since you're the one doing it) and you bypass the Benoit recovery cards, as well as any other recovery that wouldn't work in the Cell; you use Crippler's Ability (and the one with the Angle logo) as your recovery base.You do that to mess with your opponent's ability to recover.Does it work? Yes, to a point. I know since I had one built. It was never going to be top-tier as too many variables messed with the design, but it was an effective design if no one saw it coming.I eventually made an Inferno Match (tb) variant that relied upon reversing from the overturn and Multis to do damage. That was much more effective, as people got to the point that I'd reverse on 1-3, then shuffle back in everything I needed. Thank God Inferno Match (tb) got the kick in the nuts it needed is all I'll say after playing that deck.

(2004 format)Just trying to figure out the best way to play it. I know it didn't have much defense against Trademark Finishers except for When You Thought You Had All the Answers.
