Con of Heroes '25 - Widow's New Toys

Black Widow was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. box due to the new Preparation cards and the S.H.I.E.L.D./Tech trait payoffs.

This is a multi-player version of the deck I am excited to get on the table at Con of Heroes 2025!

Key cards:
Leo Fitz/Jemma Simmons: There are 9 Tech upgrades in this deck (5 of which are Preparations) - plenty of targets. And because they are Preparations, they can cycle into the discard pile and back into the deck for the full game (or directly to hand with Safe House #29). Gauntlets are the first targets for Leo.

Face the Past+Informant: You've probably heard this one by now. Looping Informant with Taskmaster out can do heavy work on the main scheme. This value is best realized in multiplayer where even more threat can build up on the main scheme.

Spider-Man + Build Support + Superpower Training: Massively efficient combos for multiplayer games. Don't play Synth-Suit and Helicarrier from hand so you can get max value from the side schemes.

Playstyle:
Use the deck's diverse array of preparations to be ready for anything! On early turns, it is important to set up Widow's many cheap resource generators - Leo, Jemma, Gauntlets, and Safe House. Then the selection offered by Safe House, Leo, Agent Coulson, and Practiced Plan help you conduct your turns as efficiently as possible. By the mid- to late-game, pop Preparations liberally as otherwise your value of your resource generators may go to waste. It's never a bad idea to take a turn off to play Spider-Man due to his insane value. In the end-game, loop Intelligence to feel perfectly safe throughout the villain phase!
