Deck Concept:
- The coolest aspect of Scarlet Witch is her ability to not only control the board, but to shape, alter and re-make the world. With this deck, she can not only change the villain deck, use those cards against that villain, but can make allies appear out of nowhere (Summoning Spell, Sneak Attack, and Chaos Magic) in three different ways. When you combine those three ways with Command Team, Mighty Avengers and Rapid Response, you can really high damage/thwart turns combined with the ability to still block for Wanda Maximoff.
Setup:
Make sure each round to have either an ally, a Magic Shield, or both ready to defend for Scarlet Witch. Your priorities for setup after that are:
-
1) - The Sorcerer Supreme - This gets your deck moving. The 5 to 6 card jump is huge with so many high priced allies.
-
2) - Scarlet Witch's Crest - It's still a Scarlet Witch deck, and getting her Crest makes such a difference with Hex Bolts, lowering villain attacks, and Molecular Decays.
-
3) - Mighty Avengers - Since you'll be readying allies consistently, this can be a +3 or +4 difference in thwarting/attacking each round.
-
4) - Command Team - The key to readying your allies, getting the most out of them and triggering Rapid Response.
-
5) - Rapid Response - This is essential to keep Sneak Attacked allies to re-assemble on the board. They will have to be defeated by consequential damage first.
-
6) - Avengers Tower - As much as you'll be putting in allies for free, you'll also want to pay for them, too. -1 to any cost, plus upping your ally limit will help.
How to Play
-
This amazing deck (https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/14154/kaiju-showdown-1.0) by Schmitty shows us that we can use Sneak Attack and our readying ability from Command Team to make allies like Goliath, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Power Man and Kaluu) appear, attack twice, be defeated then come back because of Rapid Response.
-
Just like any other Scarlet Witch deck, Hex Bolt like crazy. Use your Crest when you can to trigger more cards. Magic Shield whenever possible, too.
-
Use Summoning Spell as much as possible. Remember that Black Panther can bring it out of the discard pile.
-
Nick Fury is there to get your deck rolling, and for card draw. He negates Mighty Avengers. So, use him wisely. I stupidly thought he could be used for Sneak Attack.
Possible Additions:
I originally had this as a 50 card deck. So, here are cards which I loved but didn't make the cut to 40:
-
Spiritual Meditation - Great to find the card you need
-
Assess the Situation - Great to get bigger hands, and get that extra ally in a round.
-
Quincarrier - Extra resources always help.
-
Team-Building Exercise - This deck has so many Avenger related cards. It can really help.
-
Go Down Swinging and Save the Day - These are fantastic cards when they hit right. I just found them too situational and unreliable to use often.
-
Get Ready - Felt like overkill for readying. However when you can use 3 or 4 readies in a round, it's amazing!
Conclusion:
This is how I've always envisioned Wanda to be. Conjuring chess pieces, only to have them disappear, then reappear suddenly. It plays fast, fun and surprising. Hope you like it!

Nov 14, 2021As I said in the write-up, Goliath, Power Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Kaluu are the allies who can come in with Sneak Attack, attack, be readied, then attack again to go away with consequential damage. Nick Fury is not a candidate in this way. However, using Sneak Attack on Nick Fury can work since it's the difference between him going away at the end of the round vs. end of phase. He just loses the possible villain block. |
Nov 14, 2021Of course! Sorry if I missed that. Definitely the kind of deck I'm looking forward to trying once I get War Machine. |
Nov 15, 2021Nick Fury doesn't share a trait with Wanda, so I don't think that Sneak Attack can target him. |

Nov 15, 2021I really like the look of this deck. I can't wait to pick up War Machine so I can give it a try! I do think that I may cut Nick and replace with an ally with the Avengers trait. Great job! |

Totally get it with Nick Fury. I'd suggest White Tiger since he'll give at least 2 cards on expert, or Hawkeye since his 4 minion counters are wonderful, and he's amazing with Rapid Response. Let me know how it works! |

Nov 16, 2021Hey! Thanks for linking my decklist. I absolutely love what you did here - using Black Panther to recur Summoning Spell is brilliant! Scarlet Witch is so much fun in Leadership - it's what I'm playing in 4P MTS. The lack of Spiritual Meditation is surprising, and I'm not sure if Captain Marvel is a solid add. Nonetheless, I love this deck and am going to test it out! |

Captain Marvel is mainly there because she's a candidate for your Sneak Attack, attack twice with Command Team, then bring her back with Rapid Response trick. In a round, that's as much as twelve damage and a villain stun. I'll admit there's not enough in the deck to make it reliable, but I kept getting lucky with it in tests. So, I kept it there. Hawkeye, White Tiger and Falcon are great replacements for her. Or just add in a Spiritual Meditation. :) |
Discard =/= defeat. Many, many people make this mistake, but Rapid Response triggers off "defeat" and does not work with Nick Fury or Sneak Attack's "discard". (Same if running Go Down Swinging or Save the Day.)
