Overview
-
Captain America is one of the best heroes right now in the current meta, probably without a doubt in solo games. Due to the nature of stun in a solo game, you are basically able to shut down the villain's entire activation in a turn.
-
The Stun Lock takes that idea to the next level with Tackle, allowing you to always have a stun on hand and lock out the villain from ever attacking.
-
A few of his basic cards, like Super-Soldier Serum, Heroic Strike, Shield Block, and Fearless Determination are some of the best in the game.
Strategy:
Mulligan
-
Remember that your alter ego setup initiates after you draw/mulligan. So if you draw your shield, dump it and you'll get it back. As usual you want to get your engine going so any resource cards or those that allow you to draw cards or are resources are keepers.
-
You could also consider keeping 1 ally in hand for Steve Rogers's "Living Legend" ability.
-
Generally, you are searching for Captain America's: Super-Soldier Serum and Steve's Apartment, then depending on your most urgent need whether that is defending or thwarting (Shield Block and Fearless Determination , respectively).
Stun
-
Essentially as the name of the deck says, you're stunning every turn with Tackle, Heroic Strike, or Mockingbird. I've had games against Expert Rhino where I've stunned every turn and never took damage. Stun as much as possible while building up your board and flip to Steve Rogers and heal when you get threat to low level and have an ally in hand.
-
You also want to make sure you get at least one Super-Soldier Serum down early so you can ensure having a for Tackle and Heroic Strike. However, if you're in a pinch, don't be afraid to use a Tackle to get that resource -- you have x3 in the deck along with x3 Heroic Strike.
Defense
-
With Captain America's Shield and Armored Vest you'll be defending for 4 which can essentially mitigate most attacks. If the villain has extra boost cards or you're expecting a harder hit you have Shield Block.
-
Put down Indomitable when you're able, but "I can do this all day!" allows you to untap on your turn.
Encounter Cards
-
If Captain America has a weakness, it's controlling the encounter phase. Against more difficult villains you'll have a bit tougher time dealing with unanticipated schemes and multiple attacks from Treachery cards. That's where Get Behind Me! and Black Widow come in.
-
After one swing of thwart with Black Widow you'll just keep her on the board solely for her ability. A reminder that Get Behind Me! is a Hero Interrupt, but you will be able to use Black Widow when you are Alter-Ego side. In those situations, you can use Get Behind Me! to pay for Black Widow's ability.
Other Card Considerations:
-
As I outlined above, I recently changed a few cards.
-
I added 1 more Get Behind Me! just because, like I said, if Captain America has a weakness in his kit, this is it. And even if you aren't in Hero mode, you can use if for Black Widow.
-
I added Nova to have another ally to take advantage of Living Legend and also because you'll find that one of the cards that is situational that you don't mind tossing, is Shield Toss - (no pun intended) and Indomitable, because you're stunning so much. Because Nova's ability is triggered by "initiate", you can also still use it even if you plan on defending with Cap. Along with retaliate, it's possible in your situation it's worth it to you to spend a card so that you can kill something attacking.
-
Tenacity - With a resource always at hand, could be useful if you absolutely have to retap twice, especially with Fearless Determination buff.
Hope you have fun with this build, any feedback is welcome. Also check out my other decks I've playtested extensively on Expert:
-
"Further, Faster, Baby!" (2.0) - Captain Marvel / Leadership
-
"Jarnbjorn Forever!" - Black Panther / Aggression

And thanks for the feedback, I had someone message me the other day and said one of my other decks he really enjoyed and was a good enough deck that he could play with his 9 year old daughter 2-player while she learns. Kinda made my day, so I decided to keep on doing the guides. |
Feb 29, 2020Wow! This deck really speaks to my soul! Thanks Interweb dude! |

Mar 19, 2020Hi, I have a doubt, why did you added 3 Honorary Avengers? Only for the +1 Hit Ponti? Great Job anyway! |
Mar 19, 2020Maybe dropp 3 Honorary Avengers and add 3 Counter Punch? or 2 and 1 Second Wind? |

Thanks for the comments. I don’t think I would drop more than one Honorary Avenger if you wanted to go that route. It’s one of the better cards in the game, for the mere fact that it is so efficient and thins your deck to draw better cards. In this deck it goes especially well because it’s a strength resource if you have trouble drawing your serums early and allows you to swing more with allies until you get your Med Teams down. Really you should only be using Med Team to heal allies. It also gives you one more health to Black Widow so you can get the most out of your Med Team use with her. Hope that helps! |
Mar 23, 2020The Green Goblin hit me once. Once. |
May 07, 2020Do you recommend this for Heroic Goblin? I can't beat that guy! Great deck btw! |

Jun 09, 2020I'm assuming Iron First is just an auto include here, makes the stun strategy even better, if that was ever needed :P |
Jun 22, 2020Your deck is so powerful, it almost feels like cheating ! :) I tried Expert for the first time and finished Rhino in 6 rounds. Did not hit me even once. I see that you made some changes (adding Nova and Fury, dropping Cage), but the deck list still seems to be the old version. |
Jun 24, 2020Also, you are talking about having added another Get Behind Me, but it appears as one of the cards you dropped in the list you made about the changes in 2.0. Also you are mentionning Tenacity, but I don't see it in the deck. Which version is the right one ? ^^' |
Jun 28, 2020Just played version 1 of your deck, against Klaw, and really enjoyed it - thank you ! I think Klaw only had two attacks against me, without stuns, and I was able to use Shield Block and Luke Cage's tough status both times. This enabled me to keep on top of thwarting as I did end up with an acceleration token which focused my mind ! Really good fun and can't wait to try the amended 2.0 deck. |
Hello and thank you for posting this deck! Utterly unaware of your build here, I crafted my own Cap Prot and it was remarkably close. However, I think yours is the slightly better build, as the card pool currently stands and I wanted to hail your efforts! Not only with this Cap deck, but all over this site, your builds prove pretty damned solid. Bravo !!
