Ms. Marvel

This is my #1 favorite deck to play. With the justice aspect it can obviously handle the threat. But when the threat is under control it can really dish out some damage too.

Some thoughts on inclusions:

• Followed is easy for this deck to trigger and 4 damage for 1 resource is solid. That said this could be a flex spot if you were looking to include something else.
• Under Surveillance is really helpful at higher difficulties. I'd always play 1 of it, but moving to the heroic difficulty, I really want to see one early so I've included 2 copies.
• 6 Allies seems like a lot, but Ms. Marvel can't take too many hits and is especially vulnerable if you get attacked multiple times in a round. If I had to cut one it would be Daredevil unless I'm going against Ultron.
• Beat Cop is the newest addition to the deck that I am still testing. I think 1 or 2 is a worthwhile inclusion. But more testing is needed.
• Concussive Blow is great as you are going to be flipping to alter-ego a lot. Once you get the Biokinetic Polymer Suit down the isn't an issue. I used to play 3 copies, but found that to be too many.
• Haymaker is there to act as an extra Big Hands. Sure you can't pull it with her Teen Spirit ability, but sometimes you just need a little extra damage that you can boost with Embiggen! and recur with her ability.
• Stealth Strike is there for minion control, something that she had trouble with in the past. I don't want too many of these because its usefulness is really dependent on the state of the board.

Some thoughts on exclusions

• Helicarrier is nice, but Aamir Khan and Nakia Bahadir do the job cheaper and can be fished for Teen Spirit.
• Counterintelligence / Agent Coulson are both good cards. But I'd rather have the events. You could cut some of the damage cards if you really want to focus on threat mitigation. But I prefer a more balanced approach.
• Foiled! is a decent value and can be played while in alter-ego. But you can't bring it back with her ability. It is good, I just don't think it fits this deck.

Thoughts on playing the deck

• You want to mulligan for your setup cards and get them down as soon as possible. Top priorities include: Aamir Khan, Nakia Bahadir, Biokinetic Polymer Suit, Shrink, and Embiggen!.
• Use her Teen Spirit ability 99% of the time you are in alter-ego. You will cycle through you deck quickly, but don't worry, the extra cards in your hand will make up for it.
• Flip almost every turn. You want to make the most use of her powerful persona cards. This will result in a rhythm to her play. You will have a powerful turn when you start in alter-ego and finish in hero. And usually a weaker turn when you start in hero and flip down to alter-ego.
• To mitigate those weaker turns, play your allies when you flip down to alter-ego. Don't save events for the next turn.
• When you use her Morphogenetics ability to bring an event back, don't forget you can use that card as a resource to play something else. It is not just for playing the event twice.
• You can activiate Nakia Bahadir while in alter-ego, then flip to hero and reduce the cost if your next card while in hero form.

I hope you enjoy the deck as much as I do. I've put a good amount of testing into the deck and I like where it is at right now.
