I wanted to make a deck with underused cards and try to make them work. For this version, I chose Elektra, Punisher, Rhino, Rescue, and Jessica Jones.
Here’s what I’ve found after playing about 20 games:
1. Elektra is just good. Most decks have a 1-Cost card that helps round out their game plan, and Elektra is always a net-positive trade. You can hit their Nebula/Sunspot/Misty Knight to level their Power curve some. You can also hit Black Knight and throw off their whole groove. And if you don’t hit anything, Elektra is a 1/2 which is a solid statline for a 1-Cost card.
2. Punisher is great with Nebula. Stack these 2 in a lane for good coverage. Punisher also synergizes we’ll with Doc Oc if you need an extra boost.
3. Rhino is an excellent location neutralizer, although he could stand to have a little more power.
4. Rescue is fantastic with either Jessica Jones, Doc Oc, or Vision. Rescue/JJ gives you a lot of Power in a lane that can’t be Shang’d. Rescue/Doc Oc gives you 19 Power to contest whatever you clog their lane with. Rescue/Vision gives you flexibility to spread out that Power if you need.
5. Jessica Jones is always good. She’s just a good fire-and-forget card.
