Stalling (Solo League S3R4)

This is the deck I built for Marvel Champions Solo League Season 3, Round 4. The matchup was Taskmaster Expert with Hydra Assault.

I have been enjoying picking underdog aspects for the added challenge in Solo League, and with Spider-Woman + Protection being the required picks I figured Justice would be the least desired aspect to pair with protection in Solo.

The deck performed admirably focusing on reducing/healing damage and removing threat. I expected the games to go longer (won on rounds 9, 11 and 10 if I recall correctly), and was able to stay in hero mode most of the game.

I did not want to defend in my game so I could build up Super-Human Agility with 2-4 aspects and swing for an attack, and the deck definitely accomplished that goal. Cheap allies also helped pull off some heat and still get another aspect bonus. Ideally you want to get your cost reduction Upgrades down as quick as possible and in two games I stayed in Alter-Ego on Round 1 just to build up that board state and reduced the number of cards in the deck. Prioritizing Upgrades and Supports over impactful events is absolutely the play unless you are at risk of a loss (less than 5 threat or HP). The star of the show was Energy Barrier to soak the one damage from the scheme each round.

I recommend trying the deck out for a different kind of experience in Solo and would love any comments or criticisms you may have.
