Venom has finally come, and here's a Justice/basic deck that will blow your mind!

Going Basic: Basic allies are getting good. REALLY good! Running The Power in All of Us makes sense here since we are running mostly 1 cost for Justice and higher cost for Basic.

The 3 Sonic Rifle are mostly for increasing the chance of getting one.

The deck builds around keeping threat down while building up your board fast. Then getting Run and Gun going. Add in in 2x Pulse Grenade and explode in some big turns. And these turns come quite often once you hit the end stages of the game. The deck has great card draw and you can use Locked and Loaded to search for grenades.

Hard Mulligan for Multi-Gun. This will make your life so much easier

Clear the Area is better than Making an Entrance, even when using your hero power each turn. Venom is incredibly strong when confusing the villain then flipping to alter ego and healing up/drawing with Project Rebirth 2.0, so healing has never been an issue for me. The card draw from Clear the Area is so much better.

In multiplayer I ran this with my buddy who played aggression Iron man. He had so much freedom to ramp up that we beat: Rhino, both Green goblin decks, Klaw, and Wrecking Crew in expert in our first evening run. We went on to clearing RoRS on heroic and my buddy felt like I was carrying him through the whole thing.

Get ready for tempo like you've never experienced before. Your upgrades will be on the board in no time !

EDIT: This deck has been going through a few adjustments. I made a mistake and included For Justice! instead of Making an Entrance Both can be used though. It's basically a 3rd Behind Enemy Lines. I have also been playing around with swapping Nick Fury with Miles Morales. Both work in their own way so feel free to choose whoever you prefer.

Did you forget to include Making an Entrance or did you misclick For Justice for IT?

Jul 18, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

Must have been a misclick. Thanks for letting me know.

Will try. Which cards do you mulligan for besides Multi-Gun? And does it differ a lot depending on the villain??

Jul 18, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

Pretty much the same against every villain. A perfect draw besides the gun would be Project Rebirth 2.0 and Spider-Sense. They just make your life so much easier. You ofc want to discard any grenades that you draw. Those are mostly used later on.

I will try that. Thanks !

i had to try this as i found him underwhelming out of the box but i must say this is outstanding. i got a love/hate relatioship wit those grenades. one did 5 damage and the other did 1 xD but i still won big against green goblin solo very easily. i will try it on expert also

Jul 18, 2021 Teowym · 1

just beat mutagen formula on expert without going to stage 2a. this deck is insane

Jul 18, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@Teowym Good job! I'm hapy that you like it. The grenades can be quite random, but I like having them as added offense when you need it :)

Jul 19, 2021 DaveL · 1

You werent kidding with the tempo here.. And dude! those grenades.. They are sooo good to have in the board. Theyvare an excellent Damage source in non aggression decks.

Jul 19, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@DaveL Thanks for playing my deck :) I thought the same about Pulse Grenade. I can see myself running those in other decks as well.

Jul 19, 2021 DaveL · 1

Any reason why you didn't include 3 of them?

Jul 19, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

3 grenades? I use them as a finishers. 3 is a tad too much :)

Jul 19, 2021 Webhead123 · 1

I've been messing around with Venom (both Aggression and Justice) trying to find a deck that feels consistent. I think I'm going to give this one a try, as it looks promising. I don't have RoRS and don't feel like proxying Clear the Area. Do you have any suggestions on a good replacement for that card in this deck? Thanks!

Jul 20, 2021 Aizbaer · 1

@Webhead123 There is no real replacement as Clear the Area makes a good part of the tempo... I would proxy it, if I hadn't RoRS.

Jul 20, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@Webhead123 It really is hard to replace like Aizbaer said. You can run with Making an Entrance which I did at first but it will slow your deck down a bit. Hard mulligan for Spider-Sense early if you do :)

Jul 21, 2021 Webhead123 · 1

I may just cave and print off copies of CtA to use as proxies. I can't justify buying a box set just to get 3 cards. LOL

Yes, I know there are other good offerings in RoRS but still not enough for me to justify the purchase. ;-)

Jul 21, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

If the content in the box doesn't appeal to you then ofc don't buy it. But I would say that if you calculate the price for 2 hero packs and 5 villain packs then it's good value :) But again buy what appeals to you. I also tend to skip some hero/villain packs.

Jul 21, 2021 Webhead123 · 1

Absolutely! So, I went ahead and made up some proxies and took this deck for a spin already. I've enjoyed it. Like any "new-to-me" deck, I'm not sure I'm piloting it to its max potential yet but I like what I'm seeing. Sonic Rifle in particular has been a big surprise-hit for me across multiple decks I've tried it in. I've kinda slept on the "Confuse" mechanic in general until recently but slowly realizing that Confuse might even be better than Stun for some heroes or in some situations. Now that we have Sonic Rifle, we have a fairly reliable way to apply it.

Thanks again!

How are you able to play Gamora and Rocket?

Jul 21, 2021 Mr Suplex · 1

Wow I just realized Venom counts as a Guardian. Never knew that was a thing for him...

Jul 21, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@Webhead123So happy that you enjoyed it. Confuse is really strong in heroes who have good alter ego cards/Hero powers. The initial ideal is to use Symbiotic bond to up your tempo, then confuse with the gun+ and heal up/draw with Project Rebirth 2.0. You can easily use the same procedure with heroes who have: card draw/ressources/Strong heal in alter ego like Spider-man, black widow etc.

Jul 21, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@Mr Suplex Yeah it took me by surprise also, so I read up on it. Apperently it's Flash Thompson losing his legs then bonding with the symbiote to help grow his legs back. He then joins the guardians. Gotta read the whole thing at some point :)

Jul 21, 2021 Mr Suplex · 1

@rstorcdk Yeah one of the things I love about this game is all the additional Marvel lore it teaches me!

Sep 24, 2021 Durand · 42

I'm not sure I understand the combo between run and gun + pulse grenade. The grenades get discarded, yeah, so how does readying weapons help them?

Sep 24, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@DurandThe syngergy is with Locked and Loaded once you have all your weapons out :)

Sep 24, 2021 Durand · 42

@rstorcdk so the idea is to just keep grabbing grenades from your deck when they're shuffled back in? Wouldn't a target like Sonic Rifle give more value since you rarely see Locked and Loaded and the grenades get used up pretty quick?

Sep 24, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@Durand Both is needed in different situations. It is primarily also because I run with The Power in All of Us and getting more things to play with that card increases tempo. Playing Sonic Rifle can be my whole turn without the double resource cards. Also, I found adding that extra damage to a Justice deck gave me the minion control that I needed. Hope that makes sense :)

Sep 24, 2021 Durand · 42

It does, thanks. I was just checking to see if I was missing something, I can definitely understand ensuring that you have useful targets for Locked and Loaded. But I'm still not sure what Run and Gun does for the grenades since they don't exhaust.

Sep 24, 2021 rstorcdk · 4738

@Durand I can see that what I wrote can seem confusing. Run and Gun doesn't do anything for grenades. What I mean to say in the description is that with the grenades on the table you can use it while not having to pay resources for extra damage in case you need a big damage turn :) I consider them to be like 2x damage event cards that I ready up as additional damage when I burst with Run and Gun

Sep 24, 2021 Durand · 42

@rstorcdk Got it! That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Sep 27, 2021 fergan · 21

This deck is amazing bro! I tried it quite a bit and I'm loving it, and you've achieved something really interesting, first you showed Pulse Grenade can be used, I thought that wasn't possible hahaha, and also I think you created a really good base deck, I mean, it's mainly gray cards and so good, probably you can tweak a little bit here and there and use this base with any aspect, amazing work.

Jan 23, 2022 rstorcdk · 4738

@fergan Thanks a lot mate! I wanted to get the most out of the basic cards since I was already running 2 copies of The Power in All of Us to fuel the guardians :) And sorry for the late response. I haven't had the time to play or construct decks, but now I'm back. Check out my latest ant-man deck. Full video included as well :D

Just threw him against Expert Klaw. First time playing against this boss on expert, first time playing this deck

Klaw was brutal, had some of the worst possible first draws from the villain deck I can imagine, while I did have a pretty good starting draw. Turns 2-4, I'd cycled through all the Masters of Evil, Shadows of the Past, and Obligations. By turn 3 or 4(maybe as late as turn 5), due to card discard encounters or another, he had already burned through his deck once

This deck absolutely obliterated him.... Solo, he didn't even get to flip his scheme to phase 2... I am worried about some of the power creep in this game xD But it was a beautiful thing to behold. I love all the new web warriors, the only one I can't bring myself to play is old-G Spiderman

10/10, will stomp some villains again in the future xD
