The Strategy: High-Frequency Readying
The goal of this deck is to use your allies as static batteries. Unlike most Leadership decks that want allies to attack and thwart, your Pit Crew stays on the board to be exhausted by your "readying" engine.
-
The Chassis The Triskelion and Avengers Tower: These supports are vital. They expand your pit lane, allowing you to hold more allies on the board, which directly increases the number of cards you draw with Strength In Numbers and the number of times you can ready. With Stinger out, it is possible to have 6 allies on the board ready to be used for card draw or readying.
-
The Ignition Earth's Mightiest Heroes: This is your most important card. By exhausting any ally on the board to ready Quicksilver. Having 3 allies out and a hand of 2-3 of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and 2-3 of Always Be Running it's possible to activate 7 times.
-
The Fuel Strength In Numbers: Don't have a readying card in hand, then use Strength In Numbers to draw more cards. Possible to get up to 6! You are essentially trading your team's actions for massive hand sizes.
The Support Staff are all cheap
- Stinger & [Ant-Man](/card/12011: Your "Junior Mechanics." They are cheap, easy to get on the board, and exist solely to be exhausted for your events.
- Kaluu & Scarlet Witch: Your "Technical Advisors." Kaluu helps find your crucial Always Be Running events, while Wanda provides the magical variance to bail you out of tight spots.
- Wonder Man: The "Heavy Lifter." Since he requires a resource to attack, he is the perfect candidate to just sit there and be exhausted for Earth's Mightiest Heroes instead.
- Use Rapid Response on Kaluu or Squirrel Girl. This allows you to trigger their "Enter Play" abilities multiple times, keeping your hand full of events and the villain's board clear of tough status cards or low-HP minions while you focus on the main objective.
The Big Finish: Avengers Assemble!
Once you have your board full of allies and your upgrades like Friction Resistance and Reinforced Sinew in play, a single Avengers Assemble! becomes a nuclear option. It readies your entire Pit Crew and Quicksilver, giving everyone a stat boost and allowing you to use all the allies' ATK to finish off the villain.
Have fun.
