Actually I put in Captain America and Starlord. That way I'm not locked to a lane or when I can play someone.

I've actually been using this exact deck this season and just broke rank 70 last night. The nice thing is you have multiple paths depending on what is going on. The biggest piece of advice I can give is don't play Deadpool on turn one. I either skip it or will play Nova to bait out Armor or Cosmo.

The ideal turn structure is
Turn 1 - Skip or play Nova
Turn 2 - Bucky or Forge in a different lane. Forge especially if you have DP in hand.
Turn 3 - Deadpool + Carnage in the lane that Bucky/Forge is in.
Turn 4 - Deadpool + Hulk Buster
Turn 5 - Venom, Killmonger, or Deathlok on DPs location. You can also Venom the Carnage/Bucky lane and then Zola the beefy Venom the next turn.
Turn 6 - Deadpool+Death+Taskmaster, or Death+Zola, or Venom+Zola or even DP+Zola. You have a lot of options depending on how the turns play out.

Generally I know by turn 4/5 how it's going and will snap or retreat accordingly.

Thank you for this! I am glad that I’m onto something with this deck. I am trying to decide if there is room for The Hood in this list. Perhaps replacing one of the Deadpool boosters could be an idea? I don’t know if it’s better to make Deadpool stronger or to give venom more fodder via The Demon

Man, Storm is a really good card. Even if you lose the Storm lane on purpose your opponent can overcommit swinging the tempo to your side on the other locations. A lot of combo decks fall apart with the reduced spots as they usually play Swarm. Lastly, Mojo hits way more often on turn six as a 2/8.

I've had some fun lately using Quake to move the locations after Storm. Your opponent overcommits to the Storm lane, but inefficiently because they feel forced to try to win it and might be playing off tempo. Meanwhile you ignored the flooding lane because you knew it was gonna move, so you shored up the other two and are ideally ahead in one that gets locked down by surprise.

So today I learned that if you play lockjaw thanos on weirdworld, the stones draw from your opponent’s deck but lockjaw replaces them with cards from your deck. I played lockjaw and three stones on Kamar-Taj, I basically milled both of our decks, which ruled until the reality stone I dropped turned the location into rickety bridge and blew everything up.

I don't have zero yet, seems like that'd be the most useful card with red skull.

Interestingly I see very few killmongers anymore. I sometimes play my kazoo deck and I don't even wait til t6 to start droppin 1s because I rarely get hit with a KM.

You could run a list kind of like that without Zero, but it prevents you from dropping Zero-Skull on T6 for 18 power with no drawback.

Storm is great and forces the other player to make decisions. Playing against Storm, I’ve learned my best option is often conceding her lane. The Storm player often will have already played something and then another thing, costing them 3 cards to my 1.

I played against a Storm in a movement deck and it was brutal. They won the lane and then used Cloak to let them redistribute excess power. I imagine they could have done the opposite with Heimdall.

The real question is what a move deck cuts for Storm. I was using the Beast version mentioned earlier and it's surprisingly good.

I've been running a lot of Sera control lately and Killmonger is almost always a last turn play for me. I've caught so many Ultron players who drop with priority only for Killmonger to wipe everything out and pop my Nova.

Also been running a Carnage package in 1 of my decks and I just got to see a Leader eat itself. Hilarious.

Having a lot of fun with this deck I brewed up last night. Basically it's Zabu bones but shifts into double panther/dino endgame via Moon or Zola, with a bit of control from the Good 4s. Sandman there to stop Sera/Zoos/other Zabu decks after I get what I want down, since I don't need multi drops on 5/6 (but they're a backup plan). Shang is an alternate for that slot, though I'm missing it much so far since I'm not wanting to drop 4s late game generally.

You could probably get away with running a Zabu Sera deck with almost all 4 drops. That's basically how I run my Surfer deck, but it's very draw dependant.

This is basically a netdeck, been playing this afternoon and having a good time but could use any suggestions. Instead of trying for a Hela Miracle you're basically aiming to get just a little extra value cheating out big cards with Hela and Ghost Rider. It feels more consistent than going for a huge Hela turn because of how easily discard can gently caress up its own plan.

Some key cards:
- Death protects Hela from Lady Sif and is a great discard.
- Invisible Woman protects your whole hand from Discard, ideally you have one or two discards + Hela hiding behind her so your hand gets dumped and resummoned at the end of the game.
- Was torn between Gambit or Moon Knight but went with Gambit because his on reveal has more value on turn 6
- Not sure about Captain Marvel here but idk what else to run. She's nice as a Hela pull because if she gets resummoned to the wrong random location she can move elsewhere

Did they retreat as soon as you placed your cards and hit end turn? For me, I feel like the bots retreat a half second after I place my cards and click end turn but they can’t calculate a win with their current hand (as well as their next draw due to their omniscience.)

You can start getting pool 3 cards at 474 even without a complete pool 2. It's maybe one card you get before you push yourself over 500 but you might see a pool 3 card here and there.
