Bishop vs. Expert Ronan the Accuser
Complete Age of Apocalypse Expert Campaign Playthrough
Why Justice?
Bishop's alter-ego ability is one of my favorites in the game. Temporally Displaced lets us grab any Temporal card from the discard pile to our hand when we flip from hero to alter-ego. Half of Bishop's identity-specific cards are Temporal, most importantly, Stored Energy. Every time Bishop flips to alter-ego, he can get a double resource card for free. To control threat and easily flip, I opt to play him in justice. The yellow aspect is known for its board control but can lack damage. Fortunately, Bishop has one of the highest burst damages in the game with Super-Charged. If you guys know me, I love an amazing alter-ego ability, lots of resources, and big burst damage. Bishop has all 3!
Easy Building
Setting up has never been so easy. Many heroes have identity-specific resource cards like Black Panther and his Vibranium or Captain Marvel and her Energy Absorption, but none of them can tutor their resource card straight to their hand with just their identity's ability. Bishop can use a double resource to play an expensive card, then flip down to alter-ego, tutor Stored Energy to the hand and use it to play another expensive card. With this direct access to resources, we can easily set up a powerful board by playing expensive supports like Avengers Mansion and The X-Jet.
Thwart Machine
Heroic Intuition is key for this deck because of our access to readies. Not only can Bishop ready up with his Concussive Blast, but this deck is loaded with 9 X-Men allies for Utopia to give us more readies (Nick Fury is the odd man out but I couldn't resist including him as one of the best resource sinks for Bishop). All of this readying allows Bishop to easily control threat.
The Power in All of Us
We gotta add resource cards for the resource king, and I went with The Power in All of Us for the synergy with our basic supports and basic X-Men allies.
Improvements
In my game against Apocalypse, I ran Legion and Superpower Training, but I took them out for Colossus and a 2nd copy of One Way or Another. I prefer Colossus as an ally for his reliable tough, while Legion has a wild factor of discarding the top of our deck and not knowing which effect will trigger. I also realized Superpower Training isn't good with Bishop because his identity-specific upgrades are either 0 cost or Temporal (so he can tutor them with his alter-ego ability). One Way or Another gives us more card draw to offset having a dud hand with all/no resources and Bishop can easily thwart the side scheme out.
Hope you enjoy this decklist!

Mar 31, 2024Is honorary in there to slap on Nick for keeping ally limit increased (and not having to discard him so you can block with him if another ally is played)? Or is it there for multiplayer support? |

I'm not sure what but is power is underwhelming cuz u can only really use it after a good energy conversion but that also the only good condition for using his armor that quite sucks (u mill too much ur deck if u didn't used a good conversion prior to that) with no passive, it should give us +1 def cuz there is little to no point of defending with bishop and his value of 1 ... So bottom line the early game can be quite hard to setup on expert sometimes (true that klaw can be unforgiving if u are unlcky but the point still stand i feel) |

Apr 07, 2024Is this your favorite build so far for Bishop? I’ve been playing Cable in Justice this weekend and Domino is next in a SHIELD Justice deck. I think I found my next Justice play right here… BISHOP STYLE |

Apr 09, 2024I played my first game with WWF’s deck. Bomb! My nemesis deck came into play and snagged my Stored Energy card twice, but it still couldn’t take me out of the game. Point is. This deck has it all… Thwart, defense and attack. Bishop’s Defense cards and absorption are clutch. Survivability in this deck is very good. His Rifle is so damn good! |

Apr 16, 2024Great list! Honestly, this is the kind of content I needed to connect with Champions as a game at all. I learned Magic by using other people's decklists and getting the hang of how the interactions worked and why they were built like they were. Your decks do the same thing for me with Champions. Great content, keep it coming! |

I’m not sure why the deck is underperforming for you, maybe there’s a missed ruling making the villain more difficult? I’ve had a 100% win rate with this deck even against Ronan and have had good feedback so far. Please check out my game against Unus here: youtu.be Hope having that reference helps! I also would love to check out your game if you have it recorded by any chance to see what’s going on! |
Apr 22, 2024Man... I was having a lot of trouble beating S1E1 Mr. Sinister for the first time with 4 losses in a row. This deck handled him with ease. Mr. Sinister never got past the first 5A scheme.. only one superpower. |

May 21, 2024This deck has the multiplayer tag but you are taking One way or Another which is awful in multiplayer games. (You will be added considerably more threat than you are removing by playing the card.) Have you considered adding Lockjaw? He can be played from the discard pile so you have something to spend on if you get stuck with all resource cards. He isn't an X-Men so he does hurt Utopia's ally limit increase but he seems custom build for Bishop. |
Jul 20, 2024What do you think to change the build a bit and add Power of Justice and Deeg Dip. |

I’m trying to understand Bishop’s cards and I’m seeing other people quote an RRG entry about Super-Charged: “If a maximum appears as part of an ability, it imposes a maximum number of times that the ability can be initiated from all copies (by title) of cards bearing that ability (including itself) during the designated time period)”. This deck and video show both Super-Charged on one attack, so how should I be play him this way? Going to start first game soon
