Ok, was thinking of deck ideas, and the basic JSA identity theme, combined with the Flash identity Legend, and the Hawk people identity/ally theme.

For a curve, there is definitely one for the Hawks, with 1-drop Hawkgirl and 2-drop Hawkman with the vengence abilities. The Ally Hawks are very important for the deck as well, filling the 3 and 4 drop slots. For the flash, there is Bart Allen at 3, Barry at 4, two options for Wally at 5, along with another version of Bart, and at 6 there are versions of Bart, Barry and Jay Garrick. That leaves 7-drop open, but with the ally theme, The Phantom Stranger is always a solid choice.

Plot twist wise, Terminal Velocity is a must have. In addition to Full Throttle, Need for Speed also works well with Terminal Velocity to re-ready the Flash. Heroic Rescue can be used with Keystone City to provide lots of reinforcment which can allow for Tag Team to be a reliable card in the deck. A Moment of Crisis is a natural of course. Double Play provides more identity based re-readying, which can be very interesting when combined with Bart Allen and his ability to join in on team attacks. Living Legacy provides a solid search card. Mightiest Heroes is a great tutor as well, especially with cards like JSA HQ, The Watchtower, Magnificent Seven and even A Moment of Crisis that can get that card into your hand. Justice United provides not only a team up for the main teams, but it’s secondary effect is very relevant for this deck. Reform the League can be useful, but may not be necessary with Hawks in play. New Era can help to make best use of the locations for the deck, which in addition to the ones already mentioned would also include Soul World and Watchtower. Battle Training and Stalwart Defense provided even greater benefit for characters that will attack multiple times in the turn. Taking up the Mantle provides a means for another character to gain the Flash identity, most likely Katar Hol <> Hawkman, Eternal Hero. With some rereadying effects not allowing a character to deal breakthrough, Brothers in Arm could come in handy.
