This deck revolves on the Star-Lord hero abillity and abusing the capacity to play big allies. At first I had Sneak Attack in because I wanted to do a deck revolving around the War Machine precon deck mechanics but with more and more play testing I realised that you don’t actually need Sneak Attack Let me explain myself..
If you have a 2 cost ally then sneak attack is ussless obviously so you need allies that cost 3 or more.. but..
Actually 3 is not that good because you can play it for free with the Star-lord abillity. So you actually need allies that cost 4 or more for sneak attack to be good/worth in this deck. But then if you would sneak attack a 4 cost ally you would need 1 ressource so lets say 1 card + sneak attack so 2 card to play your 4 cost ally, compared to the Star-lord abillity again: 4 cost - 3 so 1 more card to play the ally (And I have not even mentioned the fact that if you actually pay for the ally with the abillity it stays on the board). So now you need a 5 cost ally for sneak attck to be even worth aaand I only find 3 in the deck so 3 good target is not enough to include this card.
So then I realised that playing big allies for cheap is pretty insane so I added "Welcome Aboard" since Star-Lord has the Guardian trait to play multiple cheaper allies in a turn too without relying on Star-Lord abillity. This card is there because of Leadership Training and not the 3 double ressources. Of course The Power of Leadership.
There is also a combo featuring either Captain Marvel, Power Man or Goliath, 2 Command Team and 1 Rapid Response. The combo with Captain Marvel does between 12 and 18 damage with Power man and Goliath its a guaranteed 16 and 20. Both Rapid Response and Command Team work well with big allies, the former working especially well with Nick Fury. [Call for Aid] to get our combo allies. Nova Prime. I actually dont know if Knowhere makes you draw each time you play an alliy since they are all Guardians with Star-Lord. If not replace for The Triskelion of course.
Let me know what you guys think and if you have suggestions please give them to me! Thanks.
It’s good you didn’t use Sneak Attack, because it wouldn’t have worked on any of these! SA requires the ally to share a trait with your hero in the hand, so only Nova Prime, but he has a “play” effect and SA puts the ally in play doesn’t play it.
Knowhere does draw you a card because it is “after you play a guardian ally” and Star-Lord’s effect turns them into guardians before it happens. But it exhausts to draw, so not “every time you play an ally” but only the first ally you play per turn.
Is the power of leadership doing anything that the basic doubles couldn’t? Generally, cutting energy/genius/strength is bad.
Otherwise, strong deck!!
