So, this is the first deck I have built myself, though I have been playing the game since it was released. I decided I wanted to go back to the core set and build a deck around a hero that I really enjoyed when I first played the game: Captain Marvel!

Now, I could have built the usual Justice or Leadership deck with her and she would have been great, but I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could make a solo Aggression deck really sing with her, and I think this deck handles itself really well. Solo Aggression decks have been a real struggle for me to play solo, so I am very happy this one worked out.

Performance

I have beat all the core set villains on Expert at this point. I plan on playing the remaining villains on Expert, but I feel confident enough about the decks performance to share it now.

Deck Principles

I don't plan on going card by card here, but here were my basic thoughts going into the build:

• Maximize the number of icons in the deck in order to use her Rechannel ability basically every turn. Also this ensures that cards like Valkyrie, Photonic Blast, & Energy Channel can go off as often as possible.
• Increase her survive-ability by including Endurance. Between that and her innate recovery and Rechannel, you should have you no issues staying alive.
• You have a ton of resources, which will help pay for some of the more expensive allies and events. When dealing with Ultron, allies were particularly important when you finally take out level 2 Ultron and move to level 3. You have to plan around the turning point and make sure you have extra attacks ready to go.
• Card draw. With her built in abilities and cards like Nick Fury, Avengers Mansion, Photonic Blast, and Alpha Flight Station you will often have turns with 7-10 cards in hand. Perform your actions in the correct order (draw effects first, always!) and you will have a plethora of options available each turn

Final Thoughts

The only other thing I will mention in case people have gotten used to heroes like Hulk, Captain Marvel wants to flip to her alter-ego side often. You want that extra card draw and to trigger the beefed up version of Alpha Flight Station as often as possible. Also, with 4 recovery, it doesn't feel bad to flip and heal.

Anyway, hope you try out the deck and enjoy it!
