Do you hate deckbuilding? Do you have the core set and the Ms. Marvel hero pack? Then this deck is for you.
This is the fifth deck of my six "Core + Ms. Marvel" rebuilt starter decks. Here's how this series will work:
- There will be a decklist for each of the six heroes (5 core + Ms. Marvel).
- Each deck will only use cards from one Core Set and one Ms. Marvel pack.
- Decks from different aspects won't share cards, so you'll be able to build four decks (one for each aspect) simultaneously.
Here we go:
Prowl, Protect, Pounce
This Black Panther Protection deck is built around two great cards from the Ms. Marvel hero pack: Tackle and Energy Barrier. Tackle is fantastic because stunning the enemy buys Panther time to cycle through his deck looking for his panther upgrades.
Importantly, playing Wakanda Forever! doesn't exhaust the Black Panther, so he can use his activations to defend, when needed, and with Retaliate, Energy Barriers, and Preemptive Strike, he can inflict damage on the enemy while shielding himself or his fellow heroes. And even if he starts accumulating damage, he can flip to alter-ego to recover more HP with Down Time and draw cards with the The Golden City.
In a solo game, Indomitable can allow you to defend big hits without killing your tempo. In a multi-player game, it can allow you to absorb multiple attacks, shielding your friends, injuring your enemies, and looking like a total badass.
This deck has a less specific theme than some of the other decks of this series, but it captures a vital aspect of the Black Panther character -- the tireless, lethal, high-tech guardian of Wakanda.
Why did I start this series?
A lot of players want the pleasure and challenge of playing Marvel Champions scenarios without the burden of building their own decks, and I totally get that. But there are a few drawbacks to ONLY playing the packaged precon decks:
Each hero pack includes additional cards for each aspect. If you only play the precon decks, you'll never use these cards, so you won't get any value out of this fun content you paid for.
Precon decks will sometimes struggle against harder scenarios. This is because each precon is designed to support a new hero AND introduce three copies of several new cards into the general card pool. Precons will often include more copies of a card that is optimal, and will often lack pre-existing cards that would support that hero's playstyle.
You only get to experience one "aspect" of a hero. Some players overcome this by swapping the aspect and basic cards from one precon to another hero, but this can sometimes exacerbate issue #2: swapping your precon Thor cards into a She-Hulk deck and drawing a handful of Mean Swings without drawing a Jarnbjorn can be a bummer.
So I'm hoping this can be an easy, fun way to experience a different flavor of the game without actually having to deckbuild.
