With Dum Dum Dugan and Field Agent, you may assume this deck wants to get him out and reduce his consequential damage when he attacks... that is not the case. Rather, Dugan should be mostly treated as a resource that stays on the table, to be used to fuel Teamwork to provide extra THW or ATK for Spider-Woman. The Field Agents (and/or other SHIELD cards) can be exhausted to increase this bonus, as can Inspired (which should be played on Dugan and left there).

The deck also contains a lot of relatively cheap aspect cards, to facilitate increasing Spider-Woman's attacks and thwarts even more.

So, on a good turn, with Dugan on the board with Inspired, three SHIELD cards that can be exhausted, and a Teamwork in hand, we will be able to generate 9 ATK or THW.

Spider-Woman inherent ATK/THW = 1 Exhaust Dugan with Inspired = 4 Exhaust three SHIELD cards to increase Dugan's ATK/THW = 3 Teamwork triggers Superhuman Agility = 1

That's 9 ATK or THW for one "lunge" action.

There is some investment to get to this point of course, but the rest of the deck is solid and has some good potential for combos, Homeland Intervention for removing threat and also increasing Spider-Woman's ATK/THW before the "lunge".

Weaknesses:

Though having Dugan on the board is ideal, the deck works fairly well until that happens, and there are a good amount of resource cards to help pay for him (though I think Meditation may also need to be added).

Spider-Woman does seem to get beat up a lot along the way. Extra REC or healing might be warranted.

Neat idea! I like the use of Dum Dum Dugan

Thank you, asdarf. I just noticed something that makes this combo less good. Maybe someone who knows the rules better than I can comment. Dum Dum's text says "when you use one of his basic powers" and Teamwork says "when you use a basic power", so can they both be used at the same time? In other words, can Dum Dum's increased ATK/THW from tapping Field Agent be transferred to Spider Woman via Teamwork? Re-reading both cards I am thinking maybe not. Still works very well without doing that, mind you. I have won many games with this deck without that combo ever going off. Also, with Command Team, you can let Spider Woman tap to add Dum Dum's ATK/THW, and then untap Dum Dum and attack with him. Sometimes this is even better, as it's not always one target for all of the damage you want to dish out.

@ghostwes the rules define the 'uses' keyword as for instance on Surveillance Team, but they don't define 'use' as on Dum Dum Dugan. I think it is the natural sense of the English verb 'to use' that I am 'using' Dum Dum Dugan's ATK or THW basic powers when I play Teamwork and exhaust him.

@adsarf I like your interpretation, because it makes the combo more powerful and synergistic, however, I think that is likely not the intention of the designers. I suspect each "use" of basic powers in this case is meant to be the use of ATK or THW by Spider Woman for one action, and another distinct use of ATK or THW by Dum Dum as one action, ie two distinct basic actions. Would be interested in other opinions on this question.
