Inspired by the deck "Iron Man - Not on my watch" by Earth Dragon https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/3286/iron-man-not-on-my-watch-1.0
I really liked Earth Dragon's idea of using Foiled! to keep Iron Man in Alter-Ego form longer until fully (or at least enough) set up. See his deck for more of his detailed notes for his deck. My modifications - the big one was swapping out 2x The Power of Justice for 2x Sonic Rifle. There weren't enough high-cost Justice cards to justify (no pun intended) bringing The Power of Justice, and Sonic Rifle helps Iron Man get more tech upgrades out quicker. It also helps him in case he needs to flip to Alter Ego.
This deck is good at thinning, as it leaves only allies, good justice/hero events, and resources. It also has a lot of resources between Pepper Potts and Quincarrier (and of course the 7 card hand size).
This deck did well against Red Skull - Standard with Rocket Raccoon - Protection. A little slow to setup (bad mulligans/initial card draws for the first three hands), but handled Red Skull handily.
Potential Deck Changes: 1) In scenarios with less side schemes, Followed and Skilled Investigator could be swapped out for other cards, probably either allies or other Justice Upgrades/Supports. 2) I had no issues with Allies, but it could be a good idea to add one more (perhaps Nick Fury or another Justice ally). 3) Conversely, adding another pair of Justice Event cards like 2x Crisis Averted or 2x Concussive Blow would help with versatility/responsiveness and stunning the villain, respectively.
I am new to deck building! Hence why I'm pulling inspiration for my decks from others. Please feel free to provide feedback, I'd love to improve. I know these decks need to be more thoroughly playtested against multiple villains, and I only play on Standard for the most part.
