This deck aims to make it difficult for the opponent to play easily in order to control the game. With the increase of ongoing cards, it's important to try to understand where the opponent might play and simultaneously prevent them from using Cosmo to avoid blocking our combos. A card like Goose prevents big final surprises (see Red Hulk), while Super Giant allows us to play Turn 5 or Surfer or Sage in order to play one of these two crucial cards on Turn 6.
Mysterio, Brood, and Debrii's rocks allow us to lower the cost of Mockingbird while also being buffed by Patriot. Debrii in particular sends rocks to the opponent's field to decrease their space and to give us a guaranteed +2 on Sage. Storm is used to change an unfavorable field and to allow Nebula to take one or two turns alone. By then sending the Debrii's rocks or Mysterio copies into Storm's field, we can buff them with Patriot.
