Ghost-Spider's Band

I never found the right band to join

Ghost Spider has never really had the best relationship with Leadership. It's hard to play allies when you want to play your Interrupts and Responses to get the extra ready from her ability. Then, you get more compelled because of the Web-Bracelets. Then, the aspect doesn't give you a ton of options for Interrupts or Responses.

so I started my own

So what does a Leadership Ghost-Spider look like? It looks a little different from other Ghost-Spider aspect builds. First, don't always defend. The temptation is to take advantage of her hero ability on both phases since it's "Limit once per phase" instead of "Limit once per round". But this deck is looking to ask you if it's needed.

In solo, you can defend with allies when you don't want to manage the health risk. In multiplayer, this deck is absolutely okay if the protection player wants to defend the table. It's looking to optimize on Web-Bracelets first and foremost so you chain together combos on the hero phase.

with a few old friends.

This deck does a couple of things. It uses the gray Web-Warriors and Web of Life and Destiny to keep drawing, the new "You Got This!" Hero Response to help get an extra ready and another two cards, and Make the Call and Across the Spider-Verse to keep the allies coming (and grab allies from other discard piles).

This deck has so many resources that you might choose yourself to trigger Across the Spider-Verse again if you want. It's nice to use Hobie, then use a basic action and play "You Got This!". It triggers two card draws (one from Web Bracelet and one from Web of Life and Destiny), then it triggers Hobie's interrupt, and ready you for another hit. Bring him back with Across the Spider-Verse or Make the Call to do it again next round.

You want in?

Use Enhanced Awareness to help smooth over resourcing, especially while you're getting Web-Bracelet and Web of Life and Destiny out.

Use Teamwork with Scarlet Spider (keep him alive and use him for the card draw) or with Spider-Ham to just get a 2 boost wherever you need. Get a few readies on the hero side, draw from Web-Bracelets and keep combos going.

I was pretty surprised at how this felt for me playing it across the week. One warning, it's easy to get caught up in the "You Got This!" combo that you forget to actually use your Ghost Kicks to end the game. Remember, any combo is meant to create space for you to kick the villains @$$. This deck is so much ally fun that you can lose sight of the end goal.

Man, this is a great way to use one of Magneto's new events. Awesome deck!

Totally agree with @tunicv. Ghost-Spider is one of those heroes that I always feel like I need to get back to.

Nov 24, 2024 corbintm · 2170

Super cool! I thought that some of these would find a nice home in Web Warriors. I'll have to give it a shot!

Nov 24, 2024 Castlefrank47 · 1195

Really awesome! I was trying to find a home for you got this in SP//dr but was struggling. This looks great!

Nov 25, 2024 Wmfrpa25 · 39

I would use Warrior of the Great Web for extra damage with "You Got This!" or adittional recover with spiderman(peter)

Nov 25, 2024 Man-is-Obsolete · 5879

Great to Kaine represented! Super underrated Web Warrior.

Nov 25, 2024 theromeo3517 · 2114

Cool deck! I was so concerned that Gwen wouldn't take advantage of the ready in "you got this" I totally forgot about the other benefits! Really cool stuff!

Nov 25, 2024 boomguy · 1418

Love it!

Nov 26, 2024 Proust · 187

Teamwork + "you got this" is a very very cool combo!

Nov 26, 2024 Lifeburst · 32

Nice deck ! I love Gwen and i never play her in leadership. It's time to do it :)

I don't love Enhanced Awareness. The cost of this deck is not high.

I would replace it with one Team-Building Exercise, and Warrior of the Great Web and maybe Avengers Mansion.

@tunicv thanks so much!

@I_am_Deadpool I’m all for getting a few more interrupts and responses across the aspects :)

@corbintm agreed. I wish I could have the Ghost Spider ally here too because of her leaving play effect.

@Castlefrank47 yeah, i totally get that. It’s cool to see "You Got This!" as a way to let Ghost Spider and SP//dr enjoy Leadership just a bit more.

@Wmfrpa25 I love the card call out. I think anyone who wants to add it will get some good value, but I’m not sure what you mean about the additional ready from Peter since WotGW doesn’t give an extra hit point. As far as why it wasn’t included, it was there at one point but removed. It led people to try to continue the combos instead of end the game. It would also only add for one attack. The most common combo was to use an ally with Teamwork, ready, use the same ally with “You Got This,” ready, attack with the bonus. If you did want to do a Leadership deck with WotGW, I’d suggest switching teamwork for Last Stand, but then it’d be a different deck that I hope someone builds and posts :)

Nov 26, 2024 andyr · 8773

@Man-is-Obsolete thanks! It was fun to see him get good use from Teamwork, and then keep him out for his ability. I will say, I’ve learned that I don’t know the encounter deck mix as well as I thought I did :p

@theromeo3517 thanks! Yeah, it was hard to be okay if I wasn’t taking advantage of Dizzying Reflexes for each interrupt or response, but the ability to do multiple readies or sure up thwarting was cool. In multiplayer, using WoLaD was a cool way to get other players cards too.

@boomguy thanks!!

@Proust I hope it’s as fun for you as it was for me. :)

@Lifeburst thanks :). It was fun to see her come alive in Leadership. Also, it’s cool to hear how people would move the deck in their playstyle. Avengers Mansion and WotGW was in an earlier version but got cut for various reasons. I’m a bit more weary of TBE since this deck uses Make the Call and Across the Spider-Verse to pull allies. TBE only helps if the ally is in your hand. I totally get that people are suspicious of the Enhanceds. With Ghost, I wanted to reduce the tax of playing her cards, especially on the villain phase. Having one or two out really helped unchain the resource constraint (and on second pass through, they just make it nice to play your whole hand), especially earlier on before you get the Web Bracelets and WoLaD out. So if you’re not an Enhanced fan, totally sub in Avengers Mansion and Warrior of the Great Web (and Team Building if you enjoy that card). You might find the deck sluggish a bit on first pass through, but you’ll still get those great combos on the second pass through.

Nov 27, 2024 Lifeburst · 32

Thanks for your answers @andyr I totaly agree about TBE. It's not a good idea. There are only 6 target (ally). I will test with one Avengers Mansion, too good with the power in All of us. One WotGW for the thematic and to push more damage (i want to test that card). And 1 joker slot. The gwen ally would be so good in this deck..

Nov 27, 2024 Wmfrpa25 · 39

@andyr my idea is while Gwen Stacy attach WotGW she is web-warrior in alter ego so when peter spiderman ready web-warrior he can ready gwen. It allow she recovers twice in turn. For prevent some situation like so many setup villian (such as expert ronan) or take huge damage in single villian phase by multiple attack, i prepare heal option while deck building. Im sorry english is not my primary language so my comment didn't translate my think :)

Nov 27, 2024 Proust · 187

Why dont you play hope summers, imo she is a better web warrior than spider ham...

Nov 27, 2024 Lifeburst · 32

@Proust Maybe because there are only 2 Superpower Cards and they are only playable at vilain main phase ?

Nov 27, 2024 andyr · 8773

@Lifeburst I hope it goes well! I definitely get the desire to have Avengers Mansion when running TPiAoU. Let me know after you run it how it felt!

@Wmfrpa25 that makes total sense, and I can totally see that adjustment being made against those particular scenarios! I didn’t find it necessary, but you are definitely welcome to play with it!

@Proust Diss to Spider-Ham!! She wasn’t included because Gwen’s Superpowers aren’t super-convincing targets, I wanted to minimize 4-cost (part of why Avengers Mansion got cut), (I think) Across the Spider-Verse doesn’t target her (though if someone has a ruling on it, I’d totally consider her), and she will take consequential damage when you use her. I will say, she makes a great substitute when you’re playing multi-hero with Peter B. Parker or SP//dr (or Spider-Ham). But I’d still rather have Spider-Ham than Hope. That being said, I love the callout for her. The rebate makes her cheaper after generating the resources which is nice. But I’d rather save her for decks where I want the superpower card and where summoning events (if any) can hit her.

This looks super fun. I can't wait to try it! Scratch that, my daughter saw me looking at this deck and has been wanting to play Gwen...her favorite aspect happens to be Leadership, so she'll play this next!

Nov 28, 2024 andyr · 8773

@DMTip That's super cool!! I hope it goes well. Glad she gets to do Gwen in Leadership!

Nov 29, 2024 VJakson · 196

Leadership Gwen is something I've been waiting to get the pieces it needs to live up to the other aspects.

Nov 30, 2024 andyr · 8773

@VJakson agreed! i hope we see more to give variety to Leadership Gwen. it's fun to finally feel good about each aspect now.

Nov 30, 2024 KingOfRohan · 5267

Andy, I played this deck and it ROLLED. So fun!

Thanks, @KingOfRohan! I appreciate that!!
