Phoenix is a Beast[master]

Superpower training into Mind Control is so good! I like that you have a few more ways to make use of Psychic Misdirection here, in some decks it can seem situational.

Did you consider adding Cerebro so you can search for Karma when you need to? You could probably fit in another couple of side schemes with how easy they are to defeat. Render Medical Aid could keep a minion you stole in play for longer.

Awesome deck. Why not include Psimitar with all the psionic cards included here? That feels more valuable to me than Telepathy.

Also, is Ever Vigilant worth a look? removing 2 from the main and readying to potentially thwart for 3 more turns Jean into a burst-thwart machine!

@ChocoboBai I love the idea of using Cerebro for Karma. If I ever figure out how to do versions on here, I’d definitely trade out 1 Psi-Flail Strike for it.

@boomguy you could definitely sub Psimitar for Telepathy. In my playtesting, I would rather the resource dump and damage wasn’t really a problem (probably because once Superpower Training was finished, I’d flip Phoenix). However, I definitely think you’re right that there’s good value add to include it.

As far as Ever Vigilant, it’s a great card, especially for a Phoenix readies build. It’s just hard for me because Phoenix Suit isn’t a priority for me or Superpower Training, so gaining Aerial is hit or miss. But I definitely like the card for other Phoenix decks that center around readies.

I think this might be the first unironic use of Moondragon I've ever seen...

:D Thanks, @Telcontar. I will say, it was a point of pride to have Moondragon have a Zola's Mutate with +2 ATK attack Zola and take retaliate damage for it. Made me feel like there was hope for Moondragon yet!

I played this deck quite a few times and really enjoyed it! Great build. I ended up swapping in 3x Bait and Switch to get the attacks flowing more consistently, and Electrostatic Armor. I took out Telepathy, Superpower Training, and 2x The Power of Protection.

I did a deck that was similar based on my favorite hero (Vision) that was fun, but this was great! Thank you for sharing!

That’s awesome! Thanks for the feedback and playing it! I definitely agree that Telepathy is probably very situational. I’m taking it through an expert next evolution, and my group doesn’t have a Justice player. So extra precision thwart on side schemes is nice for us, but that’s definitely not going to always be the case.

I love adding in more attack -> benefit cards. I’m a little surprised Superpower Training didn’t hold a benefit for grabbing (or re-grabbing) Mind Control, but still awesome subbing.

Once again, thanks for playing and posting the subs that you made with it :) I’d love to play the Vision deck if it’s published because it’s been a fun play style and I don’t play him as much as I want to

Just kidding, @boomguy! I did play the vision deck after your comment and loved it! Link for anyone who wants to play it. marvelcdb.com

Glad you enjoyed the deck. Nowadays I’d have Taunt in there! Glad to see people doing cool builds like this.

@boomguy just subscribed! Thanks for putting it out there!

Just played this in expert mastermold, ridiculously fun! Did it in expert collector 2, still really enjoyed the deck. Great build!

@Pots thanks so much! I’m glad this deck had fun with expert mastermold!

Just wanted to call this out as one of my favorite decks I have played in this game. So versatile, so many different ways to mess with minions. I love it.

@MrSelfDestruct, thanks so much! Definitely made my day reading that. It’s definitely one of my favorites, too!
