Deck centered around Guardian of the Galaxy cards because.
The GotG ability is quite tricky to trigger so we use different ways to facilitate this.
Guardian of the Galaxy cards :
1- Gamora + Daredevil to predict op move on T5
=> Add Prof. X for alternate play on T5 with Daredevil and locks a lane that help prediction on T6.
2- Drax + Storm to forces opponent to play on Storm lane on T4
=> Add Jessica Jones for alternate combo play with Storm
3- Groot + Black Widow makes op play 2 cards on turn 3 (Widow's Bite+another card). If played on 2 different lane, help trigger Groot (plus if you have the "Space BlackWidow" it kindda fit the theme).
4- Star Lord can be difficult to trigger on T2 but can be played later with Groot on T5. or with Drax on T6
5- Rocket Racoon doesn't play well here. Hard to trigger on T1, and we have core cards to play on T3, T4, and T5 so we want to play those cards instead of Rocket+Star Lord or Rocket+Groot or Rocket+Drax.
6- Mantis and Yondu doesn't fit with the other GotG cards strategy (collector, destroy)
Deck Strategy
What are GotG cards good at? If triggered, they have very good power and fit in a midrange strategy where you aim to stay ahead of your opponent. This fit well with the lockdown strategy.
Difficulty w/ lockdown strat is that you must be able to overpower your opponent in those locked lane (which can be done by triggering GotG effect) and difficulty of GotG effect is to predict where your opponent will play (which can be easier if opponent can only play on two or one lane).
Deck Analysis
1- Iceman has a better impact than Rocket Racoon. Can slow down op and help you stay ahead.
2- Black Widow to help trigger Groot, deny op draw, fill on lane with junk, get hint on which lane op will left weak.
Daredevil to trigger Gamora (or other GotG card) and help Prof X's lock
Star Lord
3- Groot
Storm to lock a lane and force op to play here which can trigger Drax
Mister Fantastic to win locked lane
4- Drax
Jessica Jones as an alternative to Drax to win Storm lane
Spider Man for consistency. after playtesting. Without storm, it become much harder to predict op moves and get full value of GotG cards.
5- Gamora
Prof X. as an alternate play on T5 works well w/ Daredevil and SpiderMan
6- No 6 cost play
