So, I'm an average player. I've never made it to Infinite until this season. I kept getting beat by Hela almost every time. So after feeling sorry for myself at first, I took up the challenge of creating a deck that is built to beat Hela, but also providing different strategies that can work vs other decks.
This deck is very good at picking up 4 to 8 cubes vs Hela players because they are not expecting the multiple counters you can deploy. If you drop Cosmo early, sometimes they will even snap because they think you have lost your chance to counter. Then you can hit them with a Leech or Alioth later on to pick up the surprise victory.
Turn 1- Silver, Echo or Kitty is usually the priority order I have for turn 1.
Turn 2- White Widow is the ideal play here, and usually you want to drop it with your previous 1 cost play.
Turn 3- Variety of cards you can go with here, depending on your matchup, locations, and what you have played so far. If you are going against Hela, then Cosmo is typically the right play. However, Marvel Boy or Hope Summers can help you win the game if needed.
Turn 4- Symbiote Spiderman will typically be the primary play at this time. Especially with the recent buff to 4/7. You will want to play this in a lane by itself to allow for the Symbiote/Black Panther/Arnim Zola combo. However, if you are going against Hela, this could be a very important time to play Leech. It is possible to still miss their Hela, but typically if you snap, and then play Leech, your Hela opponent will quickly retreat with multiple Ms Marvel thumbs up. If you play Leech, and then they counter snap, you might have roped them in for the Alioth play at the end.
Turn 5- Black Panther into your Symbiote Spiderman lane can be extremely deadly. However, it is easily countered by multiple cards. If you make this play, I recommend not activating your SSM until turn 6, as a preemptive Shang Chi could take out both cards and pretty much forcing you to retreat. Also if you haven't used your Leech yet, this is your last chance to ruin their Hela play with it.
Turn 6- Depending on the board state, priority, and matchup you have two options to help you win. If you already have Cosmo down, and have priority, your Alioth can devastate many players. Hela players will not expect you to have three counters to their archetype. Also, Alioth takes care of a lot of huge turn 6/7 plays that will win you games on it's own. Arnim Zola can also give you big plays with your boosted Black Panther able to produce 68+ power in two other lanes. Of course this can be easily telegraphed, so sometimes that is not the optimal play, if you feel like your opponent will counter.
Let me know what you guys think.
