This is the deck I have been running through all the expert scenarios solo. It truly is a beast and carves through most on the first attempt. A bad opening caused a loss on Expert Ultron but the second try went smoothly.
Setup: Mulligan and use Wanda’s alter ego ability to dig for your support cards and Sorcerer Supreme, I pitch anything other than resource cards or Spiritual Meditation to get those in my opening hand. On the first couple turns you want to focus on getting your board set up, Ironheart and Maria Hill are good early choices as well since they allow you to cycle through your deck and provide some early defense.
Strategy: once your board is established is getting Nick Fury into play, using him to attack/thwart, chump block the villain, and recycle him back out of your discard pile with Make The Call on the next turn. The best option when Fury is played is almost always drawing 3 cards since they can be used to fuel your spells which will likely do more work than a quick 4 damage. Damage: Hex Bolt does a LOT of damage in this deck and I’ll usually prioritize it over Molecular Decay unless there is no threat to remove and all I want is damage. Last Stand also does a ton of work when paired up with your cheap allies to bomb a high health enemy or perform the coup de gras’ on the villain. Threat: Again, Hex Bolt is going to do a lot of work here. I found that the majority of encounter cards you discard will remove threat or deal damage but remember that you can use your Crest to manipulate the results to whatever you need, including to draw a card. Along with Wanda and Nick thwarting you should never really have an issue with threat and most games I never had any main schemes advance at all. Defense: Obviously your main defense is going to be Nick and his motley band of chumps. They were never meant to last and you will see them again soon so try to always have one on the board to block the villain. Magic Shield works as well but I don’t place a priority on having them in play personally. I will defend if necessary and a timely Endurance will probably negate any damage that sneaks through.
So, that’s it. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Oh, I also swap in Squirrel Girl for Ultron.

Apr 24, 2021My priorities are to get Sorcerer Supreme, Quincarrier, Helicarrier, and Scarlet Witch’s Crest in play as early as possible. I mulligan pretty much everything other than one of those, a resource card, Spiritual Meditation, or Agatha since she is awesome in your first hand while you are still in alter ego so you can dig for the other cards. It’s not uncommon to go through a dozen or more cards on turn one with all of the card draw available to Wanda. Get those upgrades on the board early and then focus on Nick Fury and your spells, those are your priority. The other allies are there to throw in front of the villain when Nick isn’t available or if you can afford them. |
Newish to the game. What cards are you referring to when you say "your board is setup". Are there specific cards you recommend having on the field for Wanda to start using the combo you mentioned above?
