Anyone got a good deck that revolves around Daredevil?

Nebula, DD, Armor, Jeff, Cosmo, Shang-Chi, Spiderman, Attuma, Sentry, Prof X, Doc Oc, Destroyer.

If you don't have Nebula use what you want. Everything else is purposeful. I'm on my phone so no time for a writeup but basically every card combos off of 2-4 things.

Just dumped a 20 power Hulk on some folks meanwhile Cyclops was cutting people down over and over.

Luke.

(This is why my HighEvo deck waiting for the patch has Rogue.)

I've played 4 games since they dropped HE, and all four have been with those decks. After the first two (one was a narrow win, other was a loss) I slotted Luke Cage.

First game with LC I never drew him, second one he was Enchantress-ed immediately.

Like you said, anyone in an HE deck has Rogue or Enchantress or both. Some grade-A BS.

I guess a Galactus deck is the only decent counter?

Hi.
One thing this game definitely needs is more cards with similar effects. I know they have a million more cards to release and they need to make money but hear me out.

In a 12 card deck, if you need some type of effect, right now there’s usually only 1, maybe a couple ways to get it. That sucks. It can also lead to things like the only good/real counter to ABC is XYZ. In both situations, it can pretty severely limit what decks you can make.

If more cards had similar effects, a given deck could work, just maybe not 100% optimally. Or maybe there’s a different trade off. Or maybe it needs a slightly different support card or two. Or it could only be played in certain conditions. And on and on. It might ease the S3 treadmill a bit too? — there may be a slightly increased chance of picking up a card with an effect you’re looking for. It may feel better to the player base.

Yeah, there will still be “best in slot” cards. But still. I feel like reducing the black and white nature of “yes I can make this deck and it works mostly like it’s purpose” is a good thing.

yes

basically anything that reduces (not sets) power counts as an affliction

note that this includes locations, so anything your opponent plays into sewer/negative zone/etc. counts for discounting abom

Luke Cage, to start with

Also, I wanna say: I've played against a few High Evo decks since he dropped, and the effects they gave his cards are choice. I love the Thing throwing fire hydrants at you and Cyclops finally gets his eye beams.

Idk if it's android only but he shoots eyebeams while hovering before placing at a location.

I like HE so far, but in the handful of games I've played I haven't yet come across anyone who wasn't also playing him. Winners came down to whoever took out the other's Luke

It's the new hotness so I get it, but man this is going to completely swarm the meta

yeah, I'm "working" so just watching streams rather than playing, but from what I've seen the energy skip HE decks are currently maybe the way to go because your poo poo mostly doesn't get turned off by luke (you can still run wasp/cyclops), sunspot/she-hulk is still a good supporting synergy, and hulk is now a genuinely great payoff

also: HE cyclops appears to be quite strong, I definitely underestimated how good that card is in practice

Galactus is in my shop and I'm tempted to buy him just to say gently caress to HE. This is what you've made me Ben.

Debrii feels like a mandatory HE include if you're on afflict. Stops Galactus and gives fodder for the go-wide cards.

I love Cyke's lil eye beams spiking out every turn. His play animation has always been so awesome, so I'm thrilled to be actually playing him finally.
Also Thing chucks rocks and fire hydrants at dudes. HE is the best way to spend tokens this game has ever had.

Zabu

Mystique
B Widow
Wave
Odin
Ronan
Doom

Last spot can be tech of your choice. Iceman is great to screw their hand before you start clogging them. Widow/Wave/Odin combo is a brutal B combo to the rest of the deck, and you have the Ronan/Hawk/Mystique plays on 5/6 for raw power. Skrull is probably a good choice with all the HE around.

If you were ABOUT to win all 3 locations but your opponent retreats before the turn that should count dang it.

I see on their Discord they are recommending that if you play the game on iOS and Steam that you wait to update Steam because it will lock you out of the iOS version until the new update drops

HE is super fun. I'm currently playing an afflict only version. Someone ran Zabu and Absorbing Man against me and that was kind of spicy.
I've literally only played against mirror decks or Galactus since opening the game though.

absolutely braindead HE player, no idea why he committed enchantress to the sewer when I'd already filled it on t3 and cyclops was already going to work. Still only won cause of sinister London since I don't have HE or luke cage. Guess I gotta tech rogue into all decks now and hope i can snipe Luke.



e: also 8/9 on season caches yielding boosters :(

First HE idea I'm going to test is a energy skip one where you just play Hulk as your only HE card and try and trigger him turns 1-3 then rescue into prof x and finish with a 18 power Hulk in another lane.

Probably wont work but whatever.

Something like

Nebula
Sunspot
Wasp
Jeff
Lizard
Rescue
Crossbones
HE
Spiderman
Proff x
Hulk
Chavez
