War Medic

Rhodey is one of my favorite characters, and they made his signature ally Iron Man really good, as opposed to Iron Man's signature War Machine, which is...not really good. So, with the release of Med Lab, I wanted to play War Machine and use the Lab to keep Iron Man available as much as possible. So, that's the goal of this deck.

I mulligan real hard for Iron Man or Call for Aid, which is basically copies 2 and 3 of Iron Man. He will start fetching your Tech upgrades so you can set up Rhodey's suit. You have Command Team, Get Ready, and of course, the big money Two Against the World so you can ready Iron Man and get him under the Med Lab. Two Against the World can really shine here, since Iron Man will come back into play from Med Lab exhausted and you can get 2 Tech into play. If you're all set up with War Machine's Tech, then you have Reinforced Suit and Powered Gauntlets for him to grab, giving you a neat little Voltron ally.

Iron Man (and the other allies, all SHIELD, so as to not interfere with Call for Aid), really shore up Rhodey's weak thwarting abilities. With Leadership Skill you can get any of the allies up to 3 THW, which is very strong, and since it doesn't exhaust, it works great in a round where you have a ready for Iron Man.

The other allies are just window dressing. Sometimes in the period between Iron Man being under Med Lab (until he dies by consequential), Maria is an amazing ally to have in the Lab. Agent 13 can ready Munitions Bunker, Command Team, and Helicarrier. Most games, I stockpile at least 10 ammo on the Bunker before using it in hero to rush the villain.
