This looks great! But how do you play Gamora without the Guardian trait?

@ZukinMake the Call gets her out, since you aren't "playing" her, you're playing Make The Call -- which happens to put her into play.

Great write up, thanks for sharing. In regard to Command Team does this not help speed up your use of allies before triggering Web of Life and Destiny ? I particularly had Ghost spider in mind. Thanks again.

@Gregwba thank you for reading and commenting!!

I never found Command Team to be critical. Hobie has double consequential, Rapid Response often brings them back -1HP, and Peter can ready the others in a pseudo-Command Team way. You also have the option chump or to discard one when you reach your ally limit, both triggering Web. Lastly, I had no issue with keeping them on the board a little longer in order to avoid the reshuffle and keep them out of the deck, making sure that AtSV was always ‘on’; or waiting for a Rapid Response so they could come right back. So I never had an issue getting full value or being able to trigger Web. Once set up, this deck only wants to play allies and Miles’ events!

Get around play restrictions with this one weird trick! FFG hates him!

For real though, really cool idea, I'll have to give it a shot.

Looking forward to try this. My initial thought on him is that he didn't look that great but maybe with this.

Only thing I have to day about it is all the abreveations made it hard to read as a newer player. But I get it, especially if you typted it up on your phone. That's a lot of words to repeat over and over.

@Saan thank you! Let me know how it goes!

@Agelaus thank you for reading it! I’m sorry about the abbreviations. I wrote this a week ago and the cards weren’t up yet, so the # link to card names wasn’t working and I used shorthand. The key ones:

AtSV = Across the Spider-Verse

WoLaD = Web of Life and Destiny

MtC = Make the Call

TPIAOU = The Power in All of Us

ER = Effective Resources. The total number of resources it costs to play the card including the card itself (only include the card if played from hand). This is why AtSV and Rapid Response are great here. They cost 3ER (2 resources + themself) to get you an ally that costs 4 ER (or even 5ER if you Rapid Response Nick Fury, but only when defeated not discarded from his effect).

i love the idea of Miles growing as a hero and leading everyone

@dr00 Thank you for checking out the deck :)

I don't understand, how do you play Gamora without the guardian trait? Thank you

@MiguelCantillo3 Make the Call puts her directly into play, so there's no trait matching required

@journeyman2 Great deck and great write-up! Will definitely be giving this one a try as I wanted to try Leadership with Miles.

Love the Meditation / Double Life combo. Very clever

@Brian-V thank you! I’m always worried I write too much and that I could be more succinct, so I’m glad someone read it!

@josseroo yes! I didn’t like Meditation as much before this. But a free flip to alter-ego and a way to ready in one card opened the door to use it past turn 1!

Great deck! I Will give a try, but what about swap rapido response with sneak attack? Cant get black widow :(

@Droghon Thank you!

That’s an interesting question. Without Rapid Response, you’ll be relying on Make the Call that much more. My suggestion would be to either sub in Strength In Numbers, which can help trigger your reshuffle while the Web Warriors are in play, keeping them out of your deck and working well with basic Peter. Another option would be Band Together. You’ll always have 1-2 allies out, the wild helps with event kickers, and it can help Make the Call for your allies. Just have to be careful since it can mess up the occasional first turn.

Sneak Attack is a viable option, you just want to make sure you have Web before you play it, and your primary targets are the WW as Ironheart’s trigger doesn’t work with Sneak Attack. You can do some things like put Peter into play for 3ER thwart 2 and ready Miles to thwart 2, then draw when discarded, essentially a Multitasking, and giving you a 6 card hand next turn. It can be a good way to turn on Make the Call. Or if you have Peter out already, Sneak Gwen/Hobie in and use Peter to ready them (though this really amounts to the same as readying Miles). This is where the deck started and it is playable! As more WW/Champion/Civilian allies come out, it may even be the better option!

If you try one of these changes, let me know how it goes!

One thing to note is that Strength In Numbers and Sneak Attack might get hit by Gamora over a Miles event, which sometimes can be good, but mostly I want to see his events as often as possible. Band Together doesn’t have this problem. You could even drop Ironheart and go x3 Sneak Attack or a combination of x2/1SiN and x1/2 Band Together. Each option has its pros and cons.

Have not tried this deck at all, but I must say that a Leadership deck with only 7 Leadership cards is fascinating!

@journeyman2 Interesting! It looks good! Although I don't have much time I will try to test the deck both ways (sneak and strength in number

I just tried this deck out and it ripped apart the sinister six. Cheers!

@Judicator82 No doubt! Just goes to show how strong Miles and the basic Web Warriors are!

@Drewooo Congratulations! I’m glad it worked for you!

When using Make the Call to pull Spider Man (Peter Parker) out of the discard pile, do I still need to fulfill his Requirement (pay with one of each resource type) when paying his cost of 3? It seems like this would be the case based on the way the Requirement is worded.

@dillpickle64 No you wouldn’t, because Make the Call “puts him in play” instead of playing him! Enjoy!

This is up there with Adam Warlock Wild Tutor as a deck that makes you say "Holy forking shirtballs". Just threw the deck together for a quick solo test against Sandman and he got decimated. 7 cards left in the encounter deck, no threat on the main scheme, and two sand counters on City Streets.

@Telcontar That is high praise! I appreciate your kind words and The Good Place reference!

Seems like a cool deck - I'm a newer player but I'm going to give it a shot this weekend with some more experienced friends. But, one of them plans to play Ghost Spider as their identity, so (I'm told) I won't be able to use Ghost Spider as an ally in this deck. Will it still function properly without the card you call the "lynchpin," or will having more Web Warrior targets for me in their Ghost Spider deck offset that absence?

I played through the expert/expert SinMo campaign with this deck and a custom Ghost Spider-Protection deck, with 0 losses.

My recommendation is to swap out Gwen for 1x Band Together. As your aspect advantage, take Spider-UK. If you get a free Helicarrier, take a second Band Together. My recommendation for Shield tech is Retinal Display. As your planning ahead, take Avengers Mansion and mulligan for Meditation or a double resource. A turn 1 mansion and helicarrier is awesome! The deck is pretty much set up after you get Web of Life and Destiny and that point.

Good luck and enjoy!

I think its worth noting that your Venom Blast special gets around both guard and retaliate since it is not an attack. Miles is one of the only characters where Standard II does not cripple your stun plan and it makes him much tankier than his 9 health suggests.

Also worth noting is that your obligation Keeping Secrets is very light. Getting the free switch to AE lets you Meditation and neither of your personas are super impactful so it doesn't hurt as much as most. Especially if you pitch Ganke Lee for his wild from time to time.

@The_Wall Great points! Flipping down and surging isn’t terrible, especially getting another chance to put something back in deck. If Ganke is out however, I’ll definitely take the exhaust. Getting a free card is just too good, and we have plenty anti-exhaust tech here between Double Life and Peter!

Fantastic write-up and very interesting deck. It's a better form of the "dredge-like" deck I tried to develop for Adam Warlock.

I think Triskelion is very strong in this deck (allies will die anyway fairly quickly from damage and blocks), but unless you play at 41 cards I don't see what could be cut for it. :(

@journeyman2 How are you able to play Gamora? Did you mention how you get around the guardian requirement?

@Stef Thank you so much for looking it over! I did list The Triskelion in the “other” section. For me, having the option to override any ally to trigger Web is too powerful an option to pass up.

@Cantfindwaldo Gamora is “put into play” by Make the Call which gets around her requirement that says she can only be “played” by someone with the Guardian trait. In Marvel Champions, “playing” a card and “putting a card into play” are different mechanically, so MtC can cheat her in. Lucky for us since she is useful in this deck! Just spend her as for Web Shot or discard her for Ganke Lee then bring her back with MtC! Then for 3 turns you’ll have an extra card in hand, almost guaranteed to be something strong, since Miles’ best cards are his events.

@journeyman2 am I missing something with the Meditation combo? Most of the good plays are only playable with web-warrior trait, and miles in alter-ego is only a civilian. are you just counting on the value from Helicarrier and Mansion? Or is it still viable if you have to have another web-warrior ally around?

Thanks for checking it out @Bikethief!

Meditation is great early to set up Mansion and Helicarrier. In the middle game, Nick Fury, Gwen, and Hobie are all excellent targets! Gwen and Hobie only require that you control a Web Warrior card, which Web of Life and Destiny fulfills for you! Meditation into Ganke and then drawing a card is absolutely viable as well if you have hero cards you don’t want to spend to get him down. Meditation into an ally is a great use of your Double Life turns!

Jesus this deck is so broken, isnt even funny being so OP

@Garri70 Ha, yep! Thanks for checking it out! This is a deck I’ll take through the hardest content of the game, or dip into S2/E2.

So many stuns and confuses - Miles Morales is a monster

@wojciech He sure is! This deck is broken as all get out, so I’m only pulling it out for likewise OP scenarios

Cool idea but I don't think Make the Call will dodge the Spider-Man ally's requirement. The requirement is a requirement when "paying" for the card which Make the Call doesn't avoid doing. Paying the printed cost of Spider-Man ally is to meet the requirement as stated on the card.

@mghouston91 That’s actually incorrect.

Requirement: “A card with the requirement keyword cannot be played unless each resource of the specified type is spent while paying for that card’s cost.”

Make the Call puts the ally into play, which is mechanically different from “playing” in Marvel Champions.

Put into Play: “ Some abilities cause cards to be put into play. This bypasses the need to pay the card’s cost as well as any restrictions or prohibitions regarding playing that card”

There is a lot of confusion because the Reminder Text is poorly written. Just remember, reminder text is not itself a rule.

Reminder Text: “Reminder text has no effect on the game and is only intended to remind a player of a specific game function or rule.“

I hope this clears this up for you!

I love this deck! It makes Miles super powerful and fun! I am cleaning up playing the Sinister Motives solo with it. I just defeated Venom in the campaign and was able to activate “aspect advantage.” Any thoughts on a cool card (s) to add for aspect advantage?

@Too Many Weasels I'm playing too and I think protection Thwip Thwip! Is a good card for aspect advantages. Dealing dmg to ww gonna help trigger web of life and D. Plus giving you up to 2 stuns i see it kinda working out with the deck.

@Jungle Great idea!

@Too Many Weasels``@Jungle sorry for the delay, I didn’t see this right away!!

I would recommend another Web-Warrior ally. Unless playing a steady villain, Thwip! Thwip! is very expensive, as the second stun is usually wasted. It is less efficient than the stuns Miles already has (and can recur with his alter-ego effect). Adding 3 cards will also dilute the deck.

I used Spider-UK in my Sinister Motives playthrough. But Silk is another strong contender.

Hall of Heroes is a unique card that Miles can use on Double Life turns. Miles also has great access to good champions cards such as Pinpoint, who can help put Defense Mechanism, Power Within, and Web-Shooter back in deck.

Thank you for checking out the deck and leaving your kind words!

@journeyman2 thanks! I actually picked Silk, but haven’t played it yet

@Too Many Weasels Great choice! Just remember that her ability only triggers when played from hand, so don’t was Across/Make the Call/Rapid Response on her!

I thought of that and chose Silk instead. It was a good run for me.

@Jungle Great minds!!

If I'm playing 2 player, and the other player is using Ironheart (which is almost always), what should I replace Ironheart with? Any other changes you'd make for 2p?

@Cvszn Yes!

Moon Girl came out after this deck and is a great swap for Ironheart!

I just beat SInister Six with this deck. There was not a single moment of danger for Miles. Pure and very easy win. 100% absolute control over the game. And what a huge economy here. Awesome deck as always.

Oh my lord, just played this deck vs sinister 6 and it was great, got to draw soo many cards with spider gwen and web of life and destiny! Great deck.

Great deck! It beat Expert Ronan on the first try!
