This Deck is out of date.
The deck displayed is the one I'm currently running. There are better options , I just don't have them yet.
Main Strategy
Blockade focuses on a strong low cost cards while locking down locations.
The ideal combo is:
- Goose, Right
- Storm, Right
- Quake, Mid
This combo will create 2 locations that are severely limited. Right is restricted to Cost 3 and below, while another region will be flooded. With some luck, you'll be able to place down another lockdown card in the remaining location.
Complementary Cards
Tertiary Lockdown: Cosmos/Spider-Man/Professor X & Absorbing Man
These cards all inhabit the same spot as tertiary location lockdown cards. Cosmos is the hardest to play around, but can be played the earliest. Also has the benefit of blocking Invisible decks. Spider-Man has the advantage of allowing you to continue play in the last location, but suffers from requiring play on turn 5. Professor X suffers from the same problem, but without Spider-Man's benefits.
Absorbing Man can be run with the other cards, but prefers Spider-Man. Can be played after Storm or Polaris instead to either flood or crowd out the last location.
Capstones: Klaw/Doctor Doom
Klaw, the Kraw Dad Krab King. The Klaw works with any tertiary lockdown card. That is why he is king. Works wonderfully in conjunction with She-Hulk & Sunspot. Doctor Doctor Doom is only a viable choice with Spider-Man. Though a lot of games will not result in a 3 location lockdown, you should plan for the ideal and expect the worse.
Deck Packages
Sunspot
Powerful and versatile. Chuck him anywhere. Lets you increase your power even when every location is locked. Potentially throw in a She-Hulk/Infinaut/Magik package. Magik in particular has great bait/fakeout potential with a turn 6 Storm. Play Storm on Magik to end the game "prematurely".
Luke Cage/Zero & Lizard
Luke Cage is useful as base stats are pretty much most of what you work with. Compensated stat-wise by Lizard. A additional Hazmat /Typhoid package might also potentially work.
Ebony Maw & Cloak
2 of the highest power cards for their power, Maw comes with a heavy drawback that Cloak solves. If you're playing a Luke Cage & Zero package, all the better.
