Goal is to build a deck that features the current spotlit card: Hangar Bay

If you're part of Solo Champions League or listen to Road to Knowhere Podcast for the Season 13 Round 2 of SCL, then you may be familiar with one of the Protection Ghost-Spider decks (By Gondo) featuring Hangar Bay + Spider-UK as a means to machine gun down the minions in that scenario. Because Spider-UK's ability is an Interrupt, it takes place before the Enemy gets it's attack. For minions below his damage threshold that guarantees a kill with no damage to Spider-UK.

What about the Villain though?

Spider-UK has a decent amount of Hit Points at 5 but a lot Villains will kill him after the attack is done. Enter Ready for Action, Muster Courage, and Make the Call. Ready for Action/Muster Courage means that I can defend the Villain with Spider-UK without losing Spider-UK to damage. Make the Call I can just replay Spider-UK after he eats a Villain attack.

So now we need to enable Spider-UK to maximize damage with a Web-Warriors build.

Thankfully while Spider-Woman isn't a Web-Warrior we have many ways enable Web-Warriors:

• She has Spider in her title, allowing us to play Warrior of the Great Web.
• In Protection, none of the Protection Web-Warriors require us to be a Web-Warrior to play them.
• In Leadership, Make the Call ignores the play restrictions of the Basic Web-Warriors
• The Power in All of Us helps pay for Spider-Man
• Web of Life and Destiny gives us Web-Warrior.

The perfect Combo scenario -

You have the Villain in play with 1 Minion. You have Spider-UK and Hangar Bay in play. Play Ready for Action to give Spider-UK Tough. Villain Phase you defend the Villain with Spider-UK dealing it 6 Damage. Villain damage is taken up by the Tough on Spider-UK. Ready Spider-UK with Hangar Bay. Minion attacks and you defend with Spider-UK, dealing it 6 Damage. Hopefully you kill the minion with the damage as most minions top out at 6 Health. Even still, Spider-UK has 5 Hit Points and should survive at least one minion attack from most minions. Repeat.

Is this a Hangar Bay deck or a Spider-UK deck?

You don't really need Hangar Bay for this deck to be good. In fact this is probably more a Spider-UK deck than a Hangar Bay deck. I would say that this is a deck where Hangar Bay shines more than a deck focused on it.

• Even if it is in play with Spider-UK and there are no minions, it does get extra use in a Villain phase if the encounter deck triggers an extra attack. Up to12 Damage in a single Villian phase is sweet.
• If you don't have Spider-UK, you can still put a Tough status on an Ally to defend, not take damage, AND get an activation out of that ally on the player turn. Remember, this is still a Web-Warriors deck and we want to activate our allies.
• You can combine the above scenarios too where a non-Spider-UK ally has a tough to eat the Villain attack and then defends an encounter attack.

Mulligans:

• Priority 1 Spider-UK, he enables Web-Warriors and is your primary combo piece.
• Priority 2 If you didn't get Spider-UK, a different way to enable Web-Warriors

Discussion around Card Choice:

• Across the Spider-Verse and Warrior of the Great Web were considered to increase the ease of enabling Web-Warriors but I felt they weren't necessary.
• The Power in All of Usx2 mentioned earlier with Spider-Man but Web of Life and Destiny isn't guaranteed to be free and the Basic Web-Warriors can't be played with Finesse. Possible two is too much but with Make the Call in the deck, I like it in there.
• The Power of Protectionx2 could probably be cut down to a 1 of for this deck. I stuck with 2 because we really want to have the best chance to get down a Protection Web-Warrior down additionally it works with Contaminant Immunity/Muster Courage. However I could see this cut for a different protection card.
