You’re not brash if you can back it up! I’ve been absolutely loving this deck and it’s reinvigorated my love for Shooty McArrows. It also showcases some overlooked yet strong Avenger cards

I think the jets are doing the heavy lifting there…

Other heroes who can play this deck:

C-c-combos!!

  • Government Liaison has 11 targets in deck, but even better is when you get to permanently reduce Mockingbird by 1 with this card. That also guarantees Sky-Destroyer going off each turn, turning Bobbi into a character who comes in doing at least 2 damage plus another 2 or 2 thwart.

  • Agent 13 + Inspiring Presence with Helicarrier out. Oh Lordy is this good. At worst it’s a Get Ready that gets around consequential damage, and that much needed thwart Pigeonvision needs. At best you get online super quick with multiple Helicarrier actions. You could also become someone’s best friend and pass the savings onto them!

  • Rapid Response has two incredible options with this deck, either being a best friend at the table with Maria Hill or keeping Agent 13 healthy enough to keep her Helicarrier shenanigans going.

  • Government Liaison lets you play Maria Hill out of turn in multiplayer, calling for action and letting everyone start the turn off with a bonus card.

  • Domino is amazing for Sparrowsight, always ensuring he has a target for Hawkeye's Quiver. Shoutout to Man-is-Obsolete for the genius tech! Here for showcasing how amazing Domino is for Eagleoptic! Check out their decks! https://marvelcdb.com/user/profile/11440/Man-is-Obsolete

  • If you can get him down Dum Dum Dugan always has a +1 at least with The Triskelion. With this deck I've been able to get him to the table several times.

  • Since Birdretina’s kit can essentially take care of itself, this allows you the flexibility to get the S.H.I.E.L.D package online.

  • United We Stand turns into more free ally activations but if you aren’t feeling it I’d swap them out for Build Support and Call for Backup

Final note: I’ve really enjoyed this deck in solo and multiplayer, with a slight advantage to MP as you can stay flipped down and build up, where often in solo you have to flip up early. It still sings especially late game but you will often have to face tank turn 1 which can be a little worrisome with how squishy Crowcornea can be.

After that? ABSA. Always Be Shooting Arrows.

This deck is fenomenal, very strong. I didn't like Hawkeye before, but this list helped me beat expert Mutagen Formula for the first time.

The fact that you can play Shield card discounted is great, especially when you can play Mockingbard every single turn and prevent a lot of damage.

Congrats on the W @DojimaRyu! Doubly awesome since Goblin puts so much early pressure with the minions and starting encounter cards. Once you’re setup it’s such a satisfying bounce back and forth with Mockingbird. Just don’t draw Shadows of the Past… :(

Avengers Tower for double discount on Mockingbird? I think Government Liaison has 10 targets as it can't be used to play for itself ;). Looks fun - I like him in leadership with a swarm of cheap allies and in Justice SHIELD & this mixes them both. As you say he's self sufficient so the allies/SHIELD stuff can get on with their own game!

Dec 17, 2023 ClassyRobot · 3938

Avengers Tower is solid! And the two other targets appreciate it in this deck. That could definitely be another option to replace United We Stand with. And you’re right @Pickles, I was either counting an extra Command Team from early versions of this deck, or the number of consecutive games I pulled shadows of the past…lol

I love the thematic design for Hawkeye's kit, just wish he was stronger. I love this deck!

What are your thoughts on Sharpshooter?

Dec 18, 2023 ClassyRobot · 3938

Personally I think Sharpshooter is a trap for Hawkeye, which is sad since it seemed the attempt was to help him out. It’s better if you build around it with Digging Deep and White Fox but it really hurts to discard Mockingbird or an arrow for 1 damage. And at least his Hero quote is accurate :P

Love the synergies you've built in here. A question/idea: how about including multiple copies of Command Team and using Reinforced suit/Honorary Avenger to give Agent 13th a huge pool of HP, and then use her ability to keep readying Command Teams which, in turn, you keep using to ready her? I feel like you could get 5-6 activations from her in a single turn...

Dec 29, 2023 ClassyRobot · 3938

I could definitely see that being a solid include @BoardGameKid! Mockingbird also loves Command Team since you just get her down to 1 and recur her. I could see that include really work in those threat heavy scenarios like Sin 6.

Loved this deck! Was wondering if you had a suggestion for Agent 13 swap when playing with Cap since he can’t include her. She seems like a tough piece to lose.

Dec 30, 2023 ClassyRobot · 3938

She is pretty important but Cap can manage! Professor X would be a good choice as you can do your shield shenanigans, flip down and get Stinger for free for example. White Tiger is also great in that spot. If you want to stay on theme I would add a PSS. All are great options between getting a shield support, a serum upgrade, or have Dugan come crash landing from the sky :P

This deck looks great, bit I can't decide if I like it more than the fantastic new names for Hawkeye. Eagleoptic was my personal favourite.

Jan 05, 2024 ClassyRobot · 3938

It's the true secret tech from this deck @Marctimmins89. Birdretina was my favorite, but Eagleoptic was a close second. I now also make bird noises whenever I use the ally Hawkeye and ping a minion. Send help.

Thank you for this deck, I am a big fan of Hawkeye as a character but haven't had much success with him in this game. I really enjoy this deck and it gives a viable option for him. I also like the deviation from the standard shield Justice deck.

Jan 16, 2024 ClassyRobot · 3938

Glad it's working out for you @Castlefrank47! I had similar issues with Hawkeye in this game but he's come a long way since release and now a lot of fun.

i love building an archetype and seeing what heroes it works for. have you tried Spider-Woman, Captain America, or Captain Marvel as well? they have some S.H.I.E.L.D. in their kits/identities as well. but why try with any else, when you can just shoot a lot of arrows :D

Feb 21, 2024 ClassyRobot · 3938

Arrow shooting does go down considerably playing other heroes, sadly, but I think all three would run it really well! Cap loses out on Agent 13, but he's already really strong. Spider-Woman with the S.H.I.E.L.D Blue/yellow would be quite fierce I'd imagine, and no one could pay for all of this quite like Carol!
