Doctor Strange "Tough Enough" Heroic Ally Swarm

Really enjoyed playing this deck. I played Klaw, who I've only beaten once with Dr Strange, and won fairly comfortably. Having so many allies meant I only flipped to alter-ego once and was able to utilise the Invocation deck far more effectively that I have previously. Thanks to Hall of Heroes for this deck - great fun and very effective.

This deck rocks. I love allies. What I love more is tough allies! Make everyone Luke Cage for the cost of 1 resource!

Love this deck! Reminds me so much of my Goku Allies Deck I ran back when Score DBZ was still around. After playing it a bunch the last 2 days, the only real tweak I made was taking out Inspired and Heimdall and putting in 2 Quinjets. The Quinjets fit my play style and can really give you big swing potential where you can drop a big cost ally for free and still play your hand, play extra allies, use a spell, etc. Love the heck out of this deck and it will only get better as the ally pool increases! Nice work!

Lockjaw is feeling very left out right now.

Really enjoying this build. Heimdall seems to be a bit expensive for most builds IMO. I like his Response but man, he's expensive. I never seem to put him in play, just used as a resource. I'm thinking of swapping him out with The Triskelion. I always find myself with a few more Ally options in hand but my limit of 3 in play has already been reached. Great job with this!

Great deck. My question would be whether you get a lot of value from Sanctum Sanctorum since the plan is to stay in Hero mode. Would it be more beneficial to swap it for The Sorcerer Supreme?

I also like the idea from @M3t4lB0x (TLM) to get the 2x Quinjet in. Will try out

I am silly it is part of Doctor Strange deck :s

There is so many allies in this deck that I never use make the call. I always have something better to play.

Get ready is only really useful for wong. For other allies, not so much. And reading wong might not be necessary because you can change the top card of the invocation deck by Being into alter ego.

So I removed the get ready and make the call. I include 3x inspired and 3x first aid to keep allies strong and Alive. (I had a while game where I had an inspired Iron man from the beginning. Between healing and though status, it never die.

The last card was replaced by a teamwork but I am not very convinced. I will maybe replace it by a queenjet.

Note that if heimdall was not so good with rapid response, I would exclude it to limit myself to avengers and get the tower of avengers.

I might test with quinjet or triskelion for the last cards.

@count-zero heh, yeah you cannot take out the sanctum, but I agree with you that Sorcerer Supreme is a strong add since you almost never flip to AE.

@Ryson yah, in my playing with it, I never really used Make the Call, but Get Ready saw lots of use for me. I like the idea of the First Aid x3. :)

is this the best deck of all time? i mean maybe? who cares? allies for days is fun as hell.

Get Ready to cycle faster with Wong is just truly chef's kiss

I'm curious to know if anyone has had any success with this deck up against heroic Mutagen Formula? Really struggling to lay any damage on the villain as we get swamped by goblin soldiers and side schemes! (X2 player game on Tabletop Simulator)

I have been able to beat Expert Mutagen Formula (with the Electro set instead of Goblin Gimmick) in a solo game.

I have not tested the Heroic mode however

Cool deck. I haven't had a chance to play. Is there a reason you didn't put The Triskelion in this deck to increase the ally limit? Seems like you could do more work. Was it just too inefficient to put an extra ally out instead of a calling back up another one you needed?

@Hall of Heroes: „tough her with Strange“, how?

Never mind. ;)

@DoxaLogosI assume it isn't worth the slot. You don't need a very wide board in this deck since you can protect 3 with status effects just as easily as 4. Unlike most leadership lists which use a wide board as a draw engine, this deck just wants to stay in hero mode and go off with spells every round instead of developing a board in the traditional sense.

Also I assume Black Knight is an upgrade over Iron Man. 1 thwart isn't worth 1 cost.

Nice deck. Strange really is the most OP character of this game!

I made a new version, hope you like

Excellent deck! Just beat Ultron on Expert for the first time, with my first time playing Doctor Strange ever.

Insanely fun and very strong deck.

Yeah this deck (or should I say the invocation deck) is literally broken as hell. It's fun for awhile but then gets hilarious after a few games.

As someone new to the game and loving Doctor Strange, thank you for creating this insanely fun deck.

Has it been updated at all since its conception with all the news cards? I have all cards released atm and wonder if there are any tweaks I can do to make it even better (like using some of the newer allies or something). Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi all, keen to try constructing this deck. May I ask is an Invocation deck separate from the main hero Dr Strange's deck?

Yes it is separate for the main deck

Really great deck. I updated it a bit with the new cards.

What do you think about spiritual meditation from scarlet witch? I think digging for cards is useful.

Cosmo's wording is wrong on this site, the actual card says "discard the top card of a deck"; so you can choose invocation and have him act as a second Wong while also being Black Cat.

Would you drop Iron Man for this? Also is it worth dipping deeper into upgrades and Yondu territory, or would this just be a different deck at that point?

I've just added yet another deck to the 'inspiration for' list on this one. So many of us have tried to improve on it, but I don't think I succeeded. marvelcdb.com

I think there might be some great leadership allies added from spectrums deck that might pair well here. But I’ll leave the deck building to those smarter than I

I'd swap some allies for sure. The 65CE/CC bugs me. With cheaper ways to play stronger allies in blue via welcome aboard + innovation it just seems more fun to play those decks.

Very solid deck, impressive.

I would love to see this updated after so many new great cards have come out.

Just starting the game, this deck looks bonkers good. Makes sense how Strange can beat the multiverse of villans.

What is the Reason for Heimdall in this Deck ? I dont Know why is he in the Deck and not Goliath or others :D

Is there a little Trick to use him ? In Scarlet Witch Deck i know why he is useful :D

Thank you for sharing this amazing deck! I just wanted to ask whether there are any updated cards to add into the deck given the new cards that have been releasing. Anything to change out?

Is Inspired really better than Sorcerer Supreme though?

IMO the best deck for somebody that has a small collection of packs. Very nice on true solo.

Amazing. Played against Taskmaster with this and I don't think my HP dropped below 7. Was especially nice to pick up captive Shang-Chi early on and use rapid response on him multiple times to stun Taskmaster. I think I had both a stun and confuse on the villain for over half the game.

I'm new to the game, but you list 3 copies of Rapid Response, both here and in other versions of this deck list. The card itself says 1 per player, so isn't 3 copies illegal?

@BowerPower it is not unique so you can put 3 in the deck. However, many non-unique cards can only have one copy out per player at a time.

Favorite character? Check. Favorite aspect? Check. Easily customizable? Yes. Amazing deck, makes Strange shine and it is so much fun to play with an army of allies (I added the Triskelion). Cleared Expert RoRS easily, with some challenging situation (looking at Madame Hydra with two Legions of Hydra side scheme and Mordo in play). I was literally keeping Taskmaster at bay effortlessly waiting for all the captives to be freed (took a couple runs of the encounter deck) but even with double acceleration tokens on the main scheme, I was untouchable; after that, Make the Call with 0 cost allies was OP. So much fun! Will try Heroic next.

Amazing deck. I'd recommend playing this as a 43-cards-deck by adding 3 copies of Spiritual Meditation, though. I can see only benefits in being able to dig deeper for cards you might need right now, effectively shortening your hand size to 37 cards.

edit: ... effectively decreasing your deck size to 37 cards.
