Bast: Every card in this current list sans Blue Marvel & Magik, who are already 3 power, and Sera, who only loses a single point, stands to benefit from Bast's effect. Biggest impact is making Adam, Rogue, and Negative more respectable on curve/without being inverted.
Angela: Best of the 2 drops to play on curve and a literally free +2 when inverted.
Psylocke: helps turbo out Negative on 3 and/or give a bit of extra energy on the final turn of the game to help push a little harder. Bae.
Iron Heart: Really good Inverted target who can still add +6 to the board regardless of if she is or not.
Mystique: Double up on Iron Man, Blue Marvel, or whatever Rogue stole.
Bishop: Good Inverted target who can get to pretty respectable numbers. Best of the 3 drops to play on curve. Beware of Shang-Chi in the games where he pops off.
Rogue: Bae. Strong tech card who can go after the really key ongoing effects of the opponent(Dino, Cerebro, patriot, Morbius, etc).
Mr. Negative: Namesake. Godlike effect.
Iron Man: Biggest Negative payoff. 0-cost, 5-power card that doubles the lane's power. Game-winning.
Blue Marvel: 2nd biggest negative payoff. Deck plays a lot of cards, so he's clutch.
Magik: Extends the game to help draw more inverted cards. Also functions as a way to get rid of troublesome locations.
Sera: The backup win condition. Sera and Bast help you win games when Mr. Negative isn't around and make him even better when he is.
Cards this deck loses to:
- Sandman: The whole point of this deck is to dump a bunch of cards onto the field at once, so this guy is a killer no matter how low-tempo he is.
- Leech: Little green fucker ruins your day every time.
- Wave: Similar reason to Sandman. Floodgates you to one card in a deck where you're trying to dump a bunch of em.
- Enchantress: The deck's biggest payoffs and its sole tech card are/become Ongoing, so she can turn the tables on you real quick.
- The entire Junk deck: You want your board space, so a deck dedicated to filling your shit up with rocks & goblins can be a rough time.
- Rockslide, Korg, Yondu: Interfering with your Negative draws is a big deal.
