Scarlet Witch v Sandman for GetUpandGame!PerfectMatchUp

Hi welcome to the eighteenth in a series of decks I plan to build directly influenced by the amazing Get Up and Game! Perfect Match-Up series found here: https://youtu.be/1I2q3sT6FoA Please check out the channel and the video since I thought it was an amazing gift to the community and it inspired me to start playing Champions more regularly.

My goal with this series is to create a unique deck inspired by each challenge match-up in the video using all the suggested cards plus some of my own to create a deck that any player can use to check out the challenge. If you’re missing some cards from a deck please ask in the comments and I’ll do my best to find replacements from your collection so that you can have fun too! Hopefully I can build a deck that can beat the villain on both standard and expert. I’ll try to document any tweaks I made while playing the deck too.

This time around we have Wanda going up against the Sandman in another very unique match up because Sandman wants to run his deck out to accelerate his scheme in order to deal damage and speed up his win and Wanda is going to help him do that because she gets special advantages for doing so! It's no secret that the Mystics in Marvel Champions are incredibly powerful and Wanda is no exception. She made quick work of Sandman on Standard and then followed it up with two expert wins which were a lot more dangerous but she was tough enough to get it done. Just watch out for that 3 damage when an acceleration token gets added.

Like most decks with powerful hero aspect cards, the goal here is to get out of the way of Wandas deck and let it do its thing! That being said we're going to support Wanda every way we can. Avengers Mansion and Quincarrier provide us extra cards and resources and I wanted to make sure we had a couple of great targets for the ludicrously powerful Chaos Magic. We also have [Deft Focus] (/card/16024) to help pay for our many copies of Hex Bolt as well as Agatha Harkness for additional alter ego card draw.

We also have some powerful allies here but mainly I chose those with high attack values so that they can be used to get rid of sand counters. Blade is excellent for this since it does not trigger his response. Like Venom and Wraith can use their 3 attack without the threat of 2 consequential damage. Blindfold isn't helpful for clearing counters but her ability works wonders with Scarlet Witch helping to set up the perfect Hex Bolt or Molecular Decay. Also dont forget to use the better alter-ego Action when Quicksilver is in play.

I also included Spiritual Meditation which you should always play to find your best hand, as well as One Way or Another which we can use to find side schemes to clear for Clear the Area, Skilled Investigator and Turn the Tide. Just be careful to clear as many sand counters as possible before pulling a side scheme since many interact with counters. Zone of Silence isn't necessary for the deck but its so rare you can take it in a deck so I just had to include it. Also as is standard in my solo justice decks: Always play Under Surveillance. It saves so many games from an unlikely Advance.

I really enjoyed this match-up and would play it again anytime! Hopefully we get some more heroes that interact with the encounter deck!
