Captain America SCL 16 Round 5

Solo Champions League Season 16 Round 5

This was a fun one to figure out. I really wanted to use a leadership deck as I've so often used Justice in this kind of matchup and because Mission Leader only costs 1 to play with Cap. I had 7 units from the GMW Marketplace, which I used on Targeting Screen and Brainstorm.

I ended up running Squirrel Girl and Plasma Pistol to clear all the Toughs in this scenario. Professor X was critical for Confusing and helping with threat. Captain Marvel was my biggest source of damage, usually dealing 9 damage, thwarting for 2, and often getting the stun (plus another 6 damage from Rapid Response). I never played her, though, bringing her into play only with Prison Camp or Call for Backup. The two Lead from the Fronts were also critical, giving me a huge damage boost or thwart boost as I usually had 3 or 4 allies in play from turn 3 on. Band Together was a huge plus as well, as the triple resource was able to remove Red Skulls Right Hook, and if I didn't have allies to generate resources, Cap could still discard it to get a ready, so it was never a dead card!

This was a great challenge, in the end I averaged about 6.8 turns for a clean board win!
