Parker's Punchlines

Player Type: Spike/Johnny
Main Player Count: 2, 3
Can do: all player counts
Key Cards: Clobber, Test the Defense

Test the Defense

The core of this deck is utilizing Clobber and Honed Technique to keep everything at bay and charge up Test the Defense. So there's mostly always 5 damage that can be done. Once you play Ingenuity, you can always trigger the bonus.

Test the Overkill

In multiplayer, Marked is here so you don't have to feel like Clobber is wasting damage. However, overkill isn't required, neither is killing the minion, but it's more fun to kill the minion than wait to overkill the minion.

When you're able to do Clobber first and rebate it back, play it again! There are usually enough resources (especially when built), and it adds 2 counters to Test the Defense. So you can power up Test the Defense in two turns.

Enjoy the card draw.

Toe to Toe is always fun with Spider-Man especially when you target the villain. Draw that extra card and enjoy doing 5 damage. If the Protection player is defending for you on the villain phase, you can use your defense (or Snowguard/Hulk) to defend this attack.

Test Taking Skills

Honed Technique is the card to mulligan for. There are two here so you can attempt to get one quickly (and pay for it with Scientist). Ingenuity Will help you make sure you can always trigger the honed bonus! Snowguard is there to be malleable to what you need. No Justice player? Make Snowguard a 3 THW. Want to go hard at the villain? Make Snowguard a 3 ATK. Want a couple of defenses? Play Hulk or make Snowguard have 8 health. These all give you the chance to adapt to the needs of the table.

P.S. Hulk is just for soaking a couple of hits. You can attempt to attack when using the Marked variant, but...this deck is a lot of ...
