This deck utilizes Rapid Response with allies, most notably Shuri to tutor your suit cards multiple times, never losing her, as well as Inspired & Honorary Avenger to build a fully upgraded Iron Man!

Overview

Strategy:

Mulligan

  1. The Golden City
  2. Resources (of course)
  3. Low-cost ally
  4. Shuri

  • A lot of this of course depends on what you have resources for and if one of them is The Power of Leadership, etc.

  • Don't worry too much if you have to dump a suit card, as long as you have Ancestral Knowledge somewhere in your deck, you'll be able to build your suit first pass.

Early Game (First Time Through Your Deck)

Late Game

Allies

  • Leadership is probably the best aspect right now, especially when it comes to solo play. The efficiency of their low-cost allies providing a "chump-block" while also being able to THW or ATK, etc. really has them as the most powerful tool in the game with the current card pool.

  • To start off, you definitely want to have one in hand, eventually filling your board with the max of 4 so you can block every turn with an ally and use Strength In Numbers. By late game, you'll want to only be drawing allies or Wakanda Forever!.

Rapid Response

  • Pairs with literally every ally in this deck (aside from Iron Man) with the "put defeated ally into play" Hero Response.

Other Card Considerations:

  1. Heimdall -- You can add him to use the Rapid Response combo, however I really like low-cost allies in this deck, especially when they can use The Power of Leadership.

  2. Avengers Mansion -- Black Panther can certainly pay for it with his Vibranium. However, I tried to build this deck to be as fast as possible. Often you'll be discarding this the first time through your deck, but would help later.

  3. Strength In Numbers -- This is such a great card late game for Black Panther once you have all 4 allies in play. You could definitely add more copies, but you won't see the best efficiency early. And I didn't include Avengers Tower so you won't be able to have 5 allies. You could however tweak the deck and make it more like @dr00's deck, a very good deck in its own right: https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/449/wakanda-forever-and-ever-and-ever-and-ever-an-1.0

  4. First Aid -- You could definitely throw in a copy to use on high-cost allies or Iron Man after he is buffed up with upgrades so he never leaves the table after he has Inspired.

...Any suggestions/feedback or playthrough results are appreciated, thanks! Also if your'e interested, check out my other decks I've playtested extensively and have gotten a lot of love:

Have you considered dropping Power of Leadership for Get Ready? With Vibranium, doesn't seem like you'd need Power Ofs as much, and Get Ready could allow you to cycle Shuri faster.

@Schmendrix Thanks for taking a look at the deck and that's a good question. I don't think I would do it just because the amount of blue allies I have in the deck and then the Rapid Response's that benefit from it. With Shuri and Rapid Response she will come back with one damage and then a consequential damage anyway when you attack/thwart, so then I just chump block with her. Blocking with allies is so strong, it's almost never that I don't do it. It's certainly worth trying though and maybe I'll playtest that in the future. Thanks for the comment. :)

The return of Brian-V! Great deck. BP Leadership was one of my favorite combos out of the core set.

the one and only Brian-V is back with a vengeance. can't wait to try this one

Awesome deck! Which piece of the suit do you get first, or do you have an order in mind for getting your suit upgrades?

I played this deck solo today against Expert Rhino and it just flowed so smoothly. I might have had lucky Encounter draws, but the engine with Shuri/Maria and Make the Call/Rapid Response just let me get set up so quickly, and then after that it was smooth sailing. Really good deck.

I tried this deck out tonight in tribute to Chadwick Boseman. 3 player vs Expert Klaw. I had some resource timing issues at the start, so my Ally game never really took off, but aside from that it played great. And I got the final hit against Klaw with a Wakanda Forever. R.I.P. Mr. Boseman.

@Hall of HeroesI'm back!! Same for me, it's been awhile. I remember @dr00's deck definitely inspired me to come up with the She-Hulk "Draw & Slam" deck when I saw what SiN could do with BP.

Aug 30, 2020 Brian-V · 42533

@dr00I've been lurking. We need to get some multiplayer going!

Aug 30, 2020 Brian-V · 42533

@AxyzA lot of it really depends on my starting hand. If I absolutely need the resource I grab one that I don't think I'll need to start the game, but could recur later with Ancestral Knowledge. But otherwise it's based on the villain I'm playing. For example, Energy Daggers vs Ultron. Usually a villain is better at either ATK or THW, try to go with what you need if you're gonna play it.

Aug 30, 2020 Brian-V · 42533

@HanohtepThank you very much!! It's annoying when Shuri is the very last card in your deck to get that combo going, but even in that case once you get her, you can still use her to grab all your other upgrades like Rapid Response, Inspired, Honorary Avenger, etc.

@yusaku77 ...Sounds like that's the way it was supposed to go down, a very nice sentiment. :) We lost a great talent and inspirational figure way too early in life -- so sad. To be battling cancer the entire time, what a warrior.

RIP King T'Challa

Played this deck in memory of King T'Challa. Definitely the most fun Black Panther deck so far.

"Rapid Response's "put defeated ally into play from your discard pile" works with every ally in the deck except for Iron Man."

Why? He's also an all?

Jan 29, 2021 dr00 · 39909

@Vortilionit means every ally in the deck has an 'enters play' effect that will trigger with rapid response. iron man can be brought back with it, but won't have any additional enter play effect like the others

Jan 29, 2021 Vortilion · 193

@dr00 Ooooh, got it, thanks mate!

Hey, based on the latest cards especially the ally buffs, what would you change?

Feb 22, 2024 birdkingz · 1

Did you build this deck without considering Errata for Honorary Avenger which can only be attached max 1 per unit?

Feb 22, 2024 Brian-V · 42533

@birdkingz I published this deck in 2020, I think the errata was in 2021? I didn't consider it because it hadn't happened yet.
