This deck plays mostly in AE and uses the combo Global Logistics along with Gambit's AE skill.

We play along 3 cards that requieres SHIELD cards to be exhausted: Dum Dum Dugan, Global Logistics and Homeland Intervention (note that both events can be used in AE).

The SHIELD cards we have at our disposal for this purpose are: Agent 13, Monica Chang that gives us one Surveillance Team and helps keep them healthy, Nick Fury, Government Liaison, Helicarrier and Sky-Destroyer. We need to know in each situation if we would exhaust them to do what they do or use them for the previously mentioned cards. That's the fun of this deck!

Identity-specific card draw engine: this is Mutant Education and Weapon X (which we have to have asap in play). The cards we want to get mainly are: Molecular Acceleration and Creole Charmer. As we stay mostly in AE we need to keep the main scheme as low as possible which you should'nt have problems with.

NOTE: I decided to get rid of confusing effects cause some villains are inmune or you may want to play in normal II mode but you could easily do some changes to add cards like Professor X.

THE GREAT FINALE: "and for my last trick..." During your game you will be damaging the Villain with Sky-Destroyer as you play the SHIELD cards to protect you and keep the schemes under control.

Also, you will be getting counters even in AE with Molecular Acceleration (that also will help you to cast Rogue), and when you feel that you can kill the Villain just swap to Hero form and cast any combination of Royal Flush and/or Charged Card along with your allies heavy attacks like Dum Dum Dugan When Dum Dum goes Boom Boom, Nick Fury or Rogue.

Fortunately you have cards like Natural Agility and Rogue that can keep you alive if you have a good hero attack hand even if you dont have enough damage to get the Villain down to 0.

Sadly you won't put your Upgrades to use as much as you might like, but they are great sacrifices when an encounter deck card asks you to get rid of any Support or Upgrade that you own.

Hope you like the deck and any comment will be much appreciated.

I liked a lot. The combo between Gambit AE powers and Shield if powerful. I would suggest only to increase a bit the allies (2 more e.g. Angel) and remove 2 events. I liked the cost curve Drobbit !
