Luke Cage - Heroes for Hire

You don't need an army. You need the right people watching your back.

Building the Team

Luke Cage doesn't fight alone. This Leadership deck brings together a powerful roster of street-level heroes and Defenders, including Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Misty Knight, Hellcat, and She-Hulk.

The first priority is simple: get your allies into play.

Recruitment Drive ×3 and Call for Backup help assemble the team, while Make the Call ×3 gives you access to allies from the discard pile.

The goal isn't to cycle through disposable allies. It's to establish a reliable team that can keep supporting Luke throughout the game.

Everyone Pulls Their Weight

Once your allies are in play, Teamwork ×3 lets Luke benefit from their abilities without exhausting them or dealing consequential damage.

Righteous Purpose ×2 helps turn wounded allies into powerful contributors, making those last few hit points particularly valuable.

Instead of treating allies as temporary resources, this deck aims to get as much value as possible from every member of the team.

Defenders Stand Together

Defensive Formation ×2 provides additional protection for your team, helping your allies survive long enough to contribute repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Luke Cage brings his own durability to the table with Metal Bracer, Power Man, and his signature cards.

The strategy is straightforward: establish your team, protect your investment, and let everyone contribute.

Power Man and His People

Luke Cage is already a formidable hero on his own. But with the right allies beside him, he becomes the center of a coordinated fighting force.

Recruit your heroes. Keep them standing. Make every activation count.

Luke Cage doesn't need to fight every battle alone. That's what friends are for.

Sweet Christmas!
