Are you tired of the same old flavors? Tired of blueberry (leadership), strawberry (aggression), lime (protection), butterscotch (justice), and bubble gum ('pool)?

Then give vanilla (basic) a try! This Magneto deck helps Magneto be Magneto. It was designed and tested in multiplayer, but could work in solo. This deck has Magneto playing a support role. He already has good economy and a little bit of everything in his hero deck, so I added in some allies, supports, player side schemes, and events to help other teammates.

The basic game plan is:

Get Asteroid M, X-Mansion, and Moira MacTaggert down ASAP. Build Support can help with this.
You'll hopefully have some of these down by the first time you flip to Alter Ego. In addition to his alter ago ability, along with Mutant Education and X-Men Instruction can get your best cards and allies back in your deck.
Heal you and your friends allies with First Aid. Play copies of Endurance to help out.
Do Magneto stuff, and play allies. Maximize your basic activations with Magneto's Armor and Magnetic Pull. With both Magneto's Cape and Utopia in play, you could potentially get two extra readies, if you can play an ally.

Jan 24, 2025 SpacerGal · 100 Very little makes me a happier Champion than a deck whose purpose is to highlight the hero, and this looks super fun! Ever since Wasp made gray decks possible way back when, I've loved building them. Definitely going to have to give this a try, V cool! Do you find the 1-2 split of Education and Instruction best? My instinct wants to go the other way around to recur more Magneto specific stuff, but I'd definitely be curious to hear what your tests revealed.
Jan 24, 2025 erikw1984 · 29 `@SpacerGal` So far they haven't been a big factor. A perfect scenario would be to flip to alter-ego with Moira and X-Mansion in play. Then either have Education or Instruction in hand or draw them as part of your next hand, and play them so you can shuffle in cards and draw more. So far, I haven't been able to line that combo up perfectly. The nice thing is, the deck isn't reliant on that combo. It's just a nice bonus that might happen occasionally. I have yet to play Deft Focus in this deck, so you could drop that in favor of another copy of Mutant Education, if you'd like.
