Wolverine V The Hood for GetUpandGame!PerfectMatchUp

Hi welcome to the twenty fifth in a series of decks I plan to build directly influenced by the amazing Get Up and Game! Perfect Match-Up series found here: https://youtu.be/1I2q3sT6FoA Please check out the channel and the video since I thought it was an amazing gift to the community and it inspired me to start playing Champions more regularly.

My goal with this series is to create a unique deck inspired by each challenge match-up in the video using all the suggested cards plus some of my own to create a deck that any player can use to check out the challenge. If you’re missing some cards from a deck please ask in the comments and I’ll do my best to find replacements from your collection so that you can have fun too! Hopefully I can build a deck that can beat the villain on both standard and expert. I’ll try to document any tweaks I made while playing the deck too.

For our next match-up we have yet another first time hero for me as Wolverine goes up against the Hood. This time the hood has his lieutenants (A Mess of Things, Armadillo, Deathstrike, The Doomsday Chair, Exodus, Power Drain, Running Interference, Shadow King, Zzzax). As usual the Hood is very swingy in solo. Thankfully his low health pool is fairly easy to slice down with Wolverine barrage of attacks. I played and won my Standard game. I drew Shadow of the Past on my very first turn of my first Expert game and swiftly lost before coming back with 2 resounding Expert wins including one where I saw Wolverine's nemesis set again. Your results may vary as this really can be very swingy based on what sets end up in the deck and how many encounter cards you end up with from Foul Play.

The deck is fairly straight forward. Use Wolverine's attacks to slice and dice The Hood as quickly as possible while maintaining your health pool and using your various allies to defend. To that end you have plenty of cheap X-Men allies and two copies of The Power of Protection and Mutant Protectors. Momentum Shift and What Doesn't Kill Me will keep your health topped off. Don't be afraid to flip back to alter ego to save Wolverine from death or deal with the various attachments that can only be removed in alter-ego. Wolverine is definitely capable of killing the tough elite minions that show up but sometimes you can deal enough damage to ignore them for a swift kill. I did originally have Karma in the deck for my first 3 games but ended up taking her out since a lot of the minions are Elite.

All in all this was a quick and dirty scrap of a match-up but once again I'm excited to play more Wolverine going forward.
