War Medic aka War Machine Enters Play

This deck consist of allies that ALL have "enters play" abilities.

I've found two problems with War Machine- Lack of thwart, Slow build. This deck solves both.

Allies are here to thwart till their death.

Med Lab is a key card here because you want to use your allies, then med lab them and have them enter play again.

Normally, Med Lab is too slow for my liking BUT War Machine is one of the few heroes that can lean into that and make it into a positive because he wants to flip a lot and he can shuffle his cards back into the deck.

So now you're able to put an ally under med lab, flip to alter, shuffle your best War Machine card back into your deck, next turn, exhaust Med Lab and have that ally enter play.

With this deck I've found I usually have 3-4 allies in play. Upgraded Chassis is great because it'll keep giving War Machine a Tough token which allows the allies to thwart without having to chump block.

Spoiler!

I have Kaluu in this deck but he'll be dropped once the Cyclops ally is available in November. With Cyclops you'll be able to have Shoulder Cannon do twice as much damage!!! Build up your ammo counters throughout the game.. Then win!

The Make the Call's are for Cyclops. It's a late game combo to blast through the final stage of the villain. Pixie and Black Panther are also there to help grab Cyclops too.

Cheers!

nice deck! very clean and focused. love the inclusion of Meditation and Leadership Skill. i also love the forward thinking about how the deck will change with future releases and Cyclops ally

Looks good! I definitely think War Machine gets a bad rap, and Med Lab totally gets slept on. I like seeing both get some play. Just remember that Pixie and Beak won’t trigger if you bring them out with Make the Call.

I LOVE Meditation with Warmachine. I've only ever run him as Justice, but love the idea of him in Leadership thematically (even if he is leading the X-Men lol). The idea of recurring allies via Med Lab is also very cool for a character that wants to flip down fairly often. Great ideas, just a solid deck all around!

Maybe Sneak Attack would be a great fit if you attached Honorary X-Men to War Machine? Might be a bit of a hastle to make it work

`@dr00 Thank you. Cyclops will be the icing on the cake for this deck.

``@doubleonad yep!

I really like this! A clear gameplan and yes, Cyclops will be just perfect here. A couple of suggestions, even though it means going above 40 cards would be Call for Backup and Agent 13, to get more uses out of Munitions Bunker (as it sees the plan is to flip a lot). Nick Fury and Mockingbird, together with Sky-destroyer, could make sure to get a lot of ping-damage. Build support could make sure that Sky-destroyer gets in play.

Love this! Rhodey is a favorite of mine so I’ll be trying this out soon.

@Erik.alne thanks! Agent 13 was actually one of the last cuts. She’s expensive and with this deck you’re in alter ego every other turn so building up ammo counters is never a problem.

As far as adding the shield archtype, I think that’s an entirely different deck all together at that point. I do like those cards though but not for this specific goal.

Call for back up could work! It does divert thwarting though. Which is important for the Allies to do on the villain’s schemes.

@dr00 cyclops will be icing on the cake with this deck. I’ve always enjoyed War Machine.

@baslikeboss thank you! I’ve only played war machine in Justice (float like a butterfly combo). Now I think I like him more in leadership!

just played this in tts with cyclops, added gambit instead of mirage.. it was kind of broken just keeping cyclops in the med lab and bringing him back whenever I flipped and it was a good time

@MOSER319 interesting! Hadn't considered Gambit. You do lose a target for The Power of Leadership though nut probably not a big deal. Glad you enjoyed!
