This is the deck I thought of when we revealed the card from FFG, which was Magnetic Bubble. The idea is to get Magnetic Bubble into play as soon as you can, and then use tough cards to keep it in play and have retaliate all game. Dauntless Will help make it retaliate 2; playing Mansion Attack, or having Storm as another player at the table can make it go even higher.

Is that the optimal strategy for Magneto? Probably not. But I enjoy the little mini-game of maintaining tough throughout. We’ve got Polaris to help with that, along with Hard Knocks, Anticipated Attack, "Come Get Me, Bub!", Metal Shards, and Establish Perimeter. Should be plenty of tough for everyone, and enough health to keep Dauntless online.

If you enjoy the deck, drop a ❤️. And check out the Winning Hand on YouTube or anywhere you get your podcasts.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Seems like this would be a good multiplayer protection deck with how much tough you're generating!

@Zelr0n it works in MP and solo, and keeping the tough and retaliate going means I get through games without ever taking damage.

I dig it! Survivability is something I found can be a problem, and this is a unique way to deal with that without relying too much on allies!

Nov 18, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@corbintm thanks! Allies are primarily here to help with readying or to take the odd hit either before the bubble is in play, or maintain it if needed.

@boomguyI had a similar thought when I first saw bubble, love it!

Nov 18, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@Castlefrank47 Great minds think alike. Love your decks btw!

Nov 18, 2024 Castlefrank47 · 1195

@boomguy really appreciate that! Fan of yours as well

@andyr just don’t call me the bubble boy

Looks pretty sweet! I've been tinkering with a Perfect Defense build for him but I haven't tested it yet. I'll give this one a try!

This looks so fun! I'm gonna take this one for a spin soon!

Nov 19, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@SoloMarvelChampion let me know what you think! Drop a link if you play it on your channel!

Nov 19, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@Caldias I hope you like it, it was more fun than I thought it would be

I played a couple games with this deck and it's a hoot! It's a fun puzzle trying to determine how to get the tough each turn, and feels really cool finishing a game with 0 damage taken.

Nov 20, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@theromeo3517 I love the little mini-game of keeping tough online as much as possible, which almost always keeps Dauntless going too. This would be fun with a Storm player giving out even more...

@boomguy I recorded it this morning (ran really well) but when I got to editing I realized I left Cowboy Bebop playing in the background. I'll try to record again tonight when I get home from work!

Nov 20, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@SoloMarvelChampion I can't wait to see it--leave a link when you post it!!

Looks really good! I noticed you have x3 Digging Deep but not White Fox. Do you think it would be worth while to add Fox and drop a digging (or keep it)?

Nov 21, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@Chumpions Pod You could add White Fox, but already being over 40 cards I had to make some cuts. And she doesn't fit the overall strategy other than just a random body to block. But she could be added in for sure. I'd keep all the Digging Deeps...you are milling pretty heavily, so more targets help.

Nov 22, 2024 Caldias · 2498

Just to say I took this for a spin and it was a blast! Love keeping the toughs on Magneto so he can just Metal Shards the villain!

Nov 22, 2024 boomguy · 1424

@Caldias thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

I made a similar deck trying out Protect and Serve and didn't quite like it, so I'll probably steal your idea for Come Get Me, Bub.

I also use Forcefield Generator since I believe it has the same window as the interrupt on Magneto's Bubble. Did I read that right? It's been fun having essentially 12 shield out and watching enemies fail to do damage.

@boomguy hey all, here's a video with this deck against Unus youtu.be I made a mistake with Magnetic Pull: After recording I found out (but should have realized in the moment) that it's not "resolved" unless you discard a Magnetic card, so I got one "free" Cape ready which I shouldn't have gotten!
