Intro:


Apologies for the movie trope title! Star-Lord will not being finding out who he really is through a lazily-written female character here. Instead, they'll all work together to kick the butt of any villain they come across! What this decks offers is the first time a Star-Lord Leadership deck can reliably stun and confuse why still thwarting a ton, and dishing out loads of damage.


Card Combos:



Replacement/Additonal Cards:


  • Rapid Response works wonderfully with Mirage once you get her thwart up to 3. It's also fantastic for Beast and Forge.

  • Since you're flipping to AE a good bit, Clarity of Purpose works great as long as you can exhaust in AE to heal.

  • Band Together works amazingly with Beast, and gives you great late game resources overall.

  • Blaze of Glory was a late cut to this deck. The ready from Utopia, combined with the high damage and thwart of these allies makes it very powerful. I just already had 42 cards, and didn't want the 40 Card Police flashing their lights in the comment section. :)


Conclusion:


Star-Lord has always been my favorite hero to play in Leadership, and this X-Men deck shows how much card draw and versatility he can have. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Great title!

Danger Room + Knowhere is a lot of free value. Cool stuff Inigo

Love MPDG discussions like “is Summer one for real or does Tom just treat her like one?”

As for the deck… Mirage and Prof X are great SL allies. Recurring them via Make The Call and Pixie is strong but are you getting enough from 3x DRTraining, Danger Room, and GotG in those slots?

In a multi-hero game where someone drops Honorary X-Men on you, Uncanny X-men, Havok, and Blaze of Glory seem like big upgrades.

Mockingbird and Nick Fury + Rapid Response have been available since Star-Lord’s launch. Personally, I still find that more impactful because Star-Lord is likely to need multiple stuns/blockers in a single villain phase. RR provides that although Regroup gets stronger the more players you have in the game.

Thanks for sharing!

I was waiting for storm to drop to make a Star-Lord X-men deck. I have the deck half-constructed but kept running into a hang-up with the anti-synergy of Danger Room and Guardians of the Galaxy. In play have you found you get good value out of both cards being there?

Nov 19, 2022 InigoMontoya · 4249

@celric Yeah, the Nick Fury/Make the Call combo is still almost unmatched. They're definitely options for switching out cards.

@mv2392 I mistakenly thought that Guardians of the Galaxy and Knowhere would work on AE until Journeyman corrected me. Even with that mistake, there's good value in adding Danger Room Training + card from Guardians of the Galaxy + Knowhere in hero form.

Blaze of Glory would be worth it I believe but i just love that card. I also don't hold fast to 40 cards either

Can you activate Danger Room, since your alter-ego doesn't have the "Mutant" trait?

Dec 13, 2022 InigoMontoya · 4249

@Nuggette Agreed! It's fantastic always with Star-Lord.

@Nyytti Yes, you can. Any hero can put Danger Room into play. You don't need to be a mutant to use it. What the second part about the Mutant trait is saying is if you're in multiplayer, other X-Men heroes in AE (mutant) can also use Danger Room for their X-Men allies with a Training upgrade.

I love that Star-Lord can basically take over any kind of tribal deck and make it work just because he gives the Guardian trait. The drawing engine with Knowhere + Danger Room + Guardians of the Galaxy looks insane. I'll definitely be giving this a try!

My only question is: why Storm in particular? She's a bit too costly for what she actually does, imo.
