Hey All!

Iron Man might be a tough but he really cares about his big family.

It's basically an ally swarm deck with a bunch of Avengers ally and cards with resource due to it's still any Iron Man deck so you wanna have many resources for Repulsor Blast. I know 45 cards instead of 40 but with Tony Stark alter-ego Futurist ability and Repulsor Blast you will get through your deck pretty fast. 24x resource and low cost curve cards make this deck fast and smooth.

Combos:

Mighty Avengers is must have card because our every ally is "Avenger". Except War Machine who is not but later about that.

My favourite combo is Tony Stark Futurist ability and discard Digging Deep or any Avenger ally and recoup them with Make the Call for most of the time for free due to Avengers Tower + Pepper Potts + Quincarrier.

Reinforced Suit is a cheap TECH upgrade so it will increase your early hand size so combo it with Stinger is really helpful.

Ronin also slept on because with Reinforced Suit he is immediately 3 ATK 2 THW hero + with Mighty Avengers 4 ATK 3 THW (5hp) most of the time for 1 or free.

Teamwork boosted Ronin with Iron Man + Arc Reactor you can swing 10 dmg with Iron Man basic ATK or 10 THW or or 5ATK / 5 THW with ease. If you are lucky enough Kaluu get Repulsor Blast into your hand so you can do even 30+ dmg in a single turn.

With this deck you can even Turn to Hero in Turn 1 and stay in Hero form almost all game long. I'd advise at the beginning when you have 1-2 ally for Twarth to turn alter-ego and "spam" Tony Stark Futurist ability + Stark Tower + Pepper Potts.

Ingenuity sometimes not really consistent so Quincarrier also here to save day. You can swap it to Team-Building Exercise because we are "Avenger" in hero form so it will also make our Avenger ally cost less BUT it's "Hero Action" so cannot be used in Alter-Ego (also we are Genius instead Avenger then).So guess Quincarrier superior even 1 more higher cost.

Do not forget with Avengers Tower we can have 4 allies IF all of them Avenger (they are) and it's also reduce their cost by one.

White Fox seems to be good in first glance due to Tony Stark Futurist ability but mess up our Mighty Avengers and also it's a resource and we need

You can swap Make the Call to Call for Aid or mix them.

You can swap Teamwork with Avengers Assemble! in multiplayer (3-4p)

You can swap out 3x Plasma Pistol in 3-4p game due to you don't have to rush that much like in solo with TECH upgrades.

I think it's an easy to understand beginner Leadership deck. Nothing crazy but solid combos and HUGE DAMAGE numbers with bunch of Allies to keep you safe and the Villian under control.

NOTICE:

Our signature Ally War Machine is NOT Avenger. He is not optimal to play at all. He is only a resource in our deck 99% of the time. If you have Mighty Avengers and Avengers Tower in play he will mess up both. 1% if you play against Ultron but you are still not the best to get the job done. Squirrel Girl much better for this and she is Avenger.

In 2-3-4p game be aware if you use Make the Call and choose any other player's discard pile for a "Non Avenger" Ally you loose the benefit of Mighty Avengers and +1 Ally size from Avengers Tower.

Nice write up. Dibs on first comment on your first decklist.

this is a great deck! i would maybe think about using Genius and Strength instead of The Power of Leadership though. not sure if you were aware, but they don't generate two resources with Pepper, even if they're being generated for a Leadership card. it also doesn't help with Repulsor Blast either, since it checks for printed ( doesn't count)

i love Plasma Pistols with Iron Man. i find that even in something like Protection with a million tech upgrades, i'm still playing 2-3 copies of them since they just ping for 2 damage until you have enough tech upgrades, then 1 more damage and they're just more icons to shuffle back into the deck.

and definitely agreed that Ronin is criminally underrated.

@dr00 Oh my gosh its really YOU. I really appreciate your suggestion about The Power of Leadership changes. The +2 double resource might be even better choice because of Pepper Potts. Im gonna run a few games and gonna check how does it feels. Thank you!
