Look At Me. I'm the Captain Now. (Jessica Drew-Pool v2)

In v1 of my Spider-Woman 'Pool/Justice brew, I explained in why I love the 'Pool aspect for Ms. Drew in some detail. If it felt like my explanations about the Leadership part of the deck were phoned in...well, they kind of were. About half the Leadership cards were just a matter of, what can I play for free or for 1 and what gets me Strength icons for Stick-To-Itiveness?

Enter Age of Apocalypse with the Sidekick mechanic. If there's one deck in my collection that goes absolutely bonkers when its signature ally is on the field, it's Spider-Woman with Captain Marvel. The sixth card per turn in hero mode often equals your third or fourth aspect card which, with one of our many untappers, means 5+5 attack and thwart from Jessica herself plus another two from the Cap.

So you're telling me now I get three more ways to tutor up Captain Marvel, plus two extra hit points for her, PLUS three copies of a card that untaps her AND Spider-Woman? Oh, and the tutor card also pitches for a strength resource?

Lawd have mercy.

Early game strategy is roughly the same: mulligan hard for Finesse and Stick-To-Itiveness, with second Finesse and Deft Focus as additional targets. After that we start looking for Cap + Sidekick with Suit Up and/or Call for Backup and get her onto the field. Use the buffer from Sidekick plus Tic-Tac-Toe to keep Cap bringing the cards around and grab extra cards with Side-by-Side and Get Rage-y (the one 'Pool card added to this list).

As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions!
