Economic Diversification

There are, at the time this is published, no decks using Strength in Diversity and Black Panther.

This deck is designed and tested as a MP deck, to play Strength in Diversity as much as possible and to be able to pay for it. (It obviously works in 1-2p, and is just as powerful as most decks using this card are.)

You can add the same basic package of cards onto any hero:

• The Melting Pot: Phoenix
• S-Tier Iceman: Iceman
• Pstrength in Diversity: Psylocke
• Maria Hill (She/Her), DEI Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Maria Hill
• Diversity IS Strength: Rogue

Okay, Boomguy...so this shell works for any hero, using largely the same cards. So what does this deck do differently?

The biggest issue with Strength in Diversity in multiplayer is the cost--often, it is prohibitive to pay 8 for anything, even if it has the alliance keyword. So how can we make it work? Using one of the riches of Wakanda, we can pay for anything.

In a 3-4p game, there should be a lot of traits at the table, so we are focusing here on the ones that may not already exist on the table. Band Together and Vibranium are crucial to afford the very expensive event we want to play, and when coupled with Beast and Resource Reserve, we can make sure we have a copy saved up and ready to pay for it. But using Resource Reserve means we can also save any other double resource to help the table as well.

T'Challa comes with three copies of Vibranium, which is great. Rapid Response also helps us keep Beast coming. Strength In Numbers and Avengers Mansion are going to put resources in our hand, but also help us cycle through cards very quickly. Band Together helps pay for things, as we should always have as many allies out as possible.

For allies, we have a mix of traits and useful abilities to help the table. We have:

1. Beast pulls a resource card that we can use or stash for later with Resource Reserve
2. Cyclops to boost damage for the table (not triggered by Strength in Diversity because he only boosts attacks)
3. Hugin & Munin adds traits and can ready allies for more Strength In Numbers shenanigans
4. Kid Omega to deal damage or remove threat for the table
5. M can delete minions
6. Maria Hill draws everyone a card
7. Slingshot can go under any player's control to add more traits to the table (and not eat up one of your ally slots)
8. Squirrel Girl can deal AOE damage
9. Vivian can blank something nasty.

Don't be shy to use Rapid Response for other allies with effects to, not just Beast. All of the allies have "enter play" effects, so use them! Don't forget that Shuri can grab any upgrade, including Rapid Response!

And just because it's a Strength in Diversity deck doesn't mean you have to keep allies around forever...you can use allies to chump if you need the defense (especially ones that already share your traits, like Squirrel Girl).
