The Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon is a 41 card (oops, I meant to say "is a 1941") American Film Noir starring Humphrey Bogart as Private Investigator Sam Wilson (oops again, I meant to say "Sam Spade").

For the purpose of theme this deck has exactly 41 cards (representing 1941) and uses the Spider-Man Noir ally (you know... Film Noir), and almost all other card inclusions are a result of those decisions.

• Spider-Man Noir doesn't do anything without other WEB-WARRIOR cards, so:
  • Scarlet Spider
  • Spider-Byte
  • Spider-UK
  • Web of Life and Destiny (which Build Support can put into play for you). Note that none of these cards require you to control a WEB-WARRIOR card to play, which is why I chose them.
• Spider-Byte gets a cost reduction with TECH, so:
  • Energy Barrier
  • And you already have Vibranium Microweave (which would make Spider-Man: Otto Octavius a great addition, but I don't want cards that require other cards to play).
• Energy Barrier makes me think of Perfect Defense, so:
  • Defiance
  • Preemptive Strike
  • Unflappable (which also fits a bird-named character LOL)

Since you get to see the top of the Encounter deck during the hero phase:

• Cosmo is one of my favorite allies for Falcon since you'll always name the correct card type
• Return the Favor can "mill" only 1 card because you'll play it when you have a treachery on top which you don't mind seeing, and it'll be the only card discarded.

Is this deck any good?

I have no idea because I haven't played it yet, I just got caught up in theme LOL

The deck doesn't have some staples I think it should have:

• The Power of Flight
• Soaring Acrobatics

So I lean towards the answer to my question being "No", but I'll at least try it out.
