Introduction
If you happened to open Wong as one of the first Pool 3 cards, congratulations on getting one of the most versatile cards in the game which can be slotted into a number of decks. Among other archetypes, it fits perfectly into a Pool 2 On Reveal mold.
Game plan
The main goal of the deck is to disrupt the opponent in the early game and follow it up by Wong, White Tiger and Odin, swarming the board with 7 power tigers. Alternatively, you can also play Ironheart and Wolfsbane on the final turn instead of Odin.
In the early game, you ought to gain some tempo and mess with your opponent's hand with Iceman or Scorpion and try to lock down one lane with Storm - don't forget to leave some room for the tigers.
Card suggestions
Doctor Doom is a great upgrade to the deck, just to mention one. You can also replace America Chavez with Spider-Woman or Jubilee with Shang-Chi, depending on your personal preference.
Decklist
The deck includes cards from Pools 1 and 2 which shouldn't be unfamiliar to any Pool 3 player:
- Sunspot, you're generally not looking to float energy with this deck so you can replace him with another 1-drop, but the scaling option can be handy in some situations. Try to play him into the same lane which you plan to Storm.
- Iceman, great early tempo which in turn takes it from the opponents and can potentially break their combos, play on curve.
- Mister Sinister was added to the deck to gain better value from Ironheart if we're planning to play her on turn 3.
- Scorpion just makes the opponent's card a bit worse, will usually provide at least 5 power of value.
- Ironheart, can buff at least 2 cards on turn 3 and can be potentially activated again with Odin.
- Wolfsbane, you can try to do the same thing with her, but it's a lot more obvious when you're playing Wolfsbane on an empty lane. I recommend keeping her in hand for turn 6 if you need an alternative win condition.
- Storm will lock down a (preferably) less contested lane or unfavorable location early and allow some tigers to win later on.
- Jubilee can be played on turn 4 if Wong eludes you or on turn 5 into Wong (if you have no White Tiger in hand) for a yolo highroll (unless you're planning to play Ironheart + Wolfsbane on turn 6 instead).
- Wong enables the main win condition of your deck by making your On Reveal effects much more impactful. Play on curve.
- White Tiger, also a part of the winning combo, play on turn 5, sometimes you can get away with playing her on the last turn but at that point we're usually grasping at straws.
- Odin, the big finisher.
- America Chavez is in the deck mostly just to draw the combo pieces faster and will inform you what you should be doing by turn 5. Can also be put into play by Jubilee.
Final thoughts
If you've managed to draw Wong, White Tiger and Odin in the first few turns, consider snapping and try to leave at least 5 or 6 open slots for the tigers in the other two locations. For increased Odin value I personally like to play 2 small cards or Mr. Sinister, followed by Ironheart into the lane where I plan to set up Wong, WT and Odin.
Of course all that's under the assumption that the opponent is not playing Cosmo which can completely shut you down (if the opponent snapped after Wong entered play, you can either expect this guy or Enchantress. Later on also Rogue, Aero or Super Skrull).
Have fun!
