Was not pleased with the obvious build : good allies with useful abilities. Those were usually way too expensive while Warlock's own cards are way too good to be used as energy. Then I tried to thin the deck to the max and cycle threw it the fastest it could. But you need as many colors in hand on your turn.

So I went for a cheap alternative with very low cost allies, draw and discard pile manipulation. Just deck yourself the fastest you can while deploying Warlock tools (cape, senses and obviously, Soul World). In the meantime, use your small allies to clean the board, chump and play Adam as if you were playing Protection : block and trick.

So far, tests are excellent (solo : all my decks are usually build for solo). Toughest part, imho, is getting the right mindset to play it : discarding good cards, better decking than playing etc. Sometimes, I felt bad/idiotic playing the way the deck asked for.


So far, played the Mad Titan campaign up to Thanos in Expert mode with no loss (three times each scenario, the third played with the worst possible starting hand).

Building options : do not add good allies with a 3 casting cost. They are too costly, you'd better play a bad 2 cost and a card from Adam set. There is sure a way to build with those nitty 3 cost allies, this is not the deck you're looking for.

Only cards i'm still unsure are Heroic Intuition (https://marvelcdb.com/card/01065) and Shake it Off. Still looking for better options. If you have any suggestion...

--> The Night Nurse looks like a winner for the "green" spot, even if this deck do not really need to heal its allies. Both cards are mostly used as energy/pinch.

Wasp is still on the verge. I mostly used her as an emergency 1 cost blocker or 3 damages card. Not the best but usefull.

Too bad White Tiger can't be played from discard pile or deck. This non combo is a pitty but he's way too good to be left over. You can opt for Maria Hill, way better combo indeed. If you play in Standard mode, make the shift. In Expert, I do prefer White Tiger (or maybe I'm biased toward him ? Maybe, may be...)

Does Summoning Spell deserve the spot ? It doesn't offers you any "good deal", as all your allies cost just 2, and it can hit a White Tiger without any effect, or even worse, an Ant-Man or Wasp which will be discarded immediately, as X will be 0. In this deck I think that even Call for Aid would be a better choice.

Nevermind, I just see you are already playing Call for Aid. Maybe another 2 cost ally? (Squirrel Girl I'm looking at you).

I really like Summoning Spell but I feel that it only worths it's place if you play some expensive allies.

Hmmmm I guess you know why I played it ? Did not think I could not pay the additionnal cost once in play... Now you point it... I'm pretty sure you're right thinking It does not work (could not find any ruling but...).

Not a lost for Wasp, let's go for Bug. But Ant-Man will be missed. Let's go for Maria Hill + Kaluu / Squirrel Girl ?

agreed on "worth with expensive allies". Or if you play very few allies (not there^^). Or to dig in the deck, which was in fact my main goal with it (so, better than any other creature of the same cost).

But this is probably too marginal a gain (ended yesterday versus Thanos with 6 counters unused)
