Ok so you read the title and were intrigued. Thinking "Hmm, I haven't seen Dr. Sinclair in an Ant-Man deck yet." Look over at the decklist. Go ahead. Drink it in.

No basic doubles? Everyday Hero? You didn't even remember it was a card, did you? So is this a meme deck? It is not! Alright, I know, a considerable amount of explaining is in order.

Mulligan priorities are Ant-Man's Helmet (or Superpower Training), Nick Fury, Team-Building Exercise, Wasp, and Giant Strength in that order.

This deck has a low cost curve with 24 cards that have 0-1 cost. It also has:

Seven ways to ready! Seven ways to heal! Eight ways to change form! And Ant-Man LOVES to change form!

  1. End your turn by flipping down to Alter-Ego, gain 1HP from Time to Unwind, use Everyday Hero to play Ready for a Fight and gain 1HP, and draw up to six cards.

  2. Discard Ready for a Fight and Practiced Plan to flip up to Giant Form, put RFAF back in your hand, deal a damage with Giant Nuisance, Gain +2 Attack from Giant Strengths, heal 2HP from Ant-Man's Helmet, defend for 3, Counter-Punch for 5 damage, use Pym Particles and gain 2HP.

  3. Flip down to Tiny Form and remove 1 threat with Puny Pest, draw a card with your Helmet, use TBE to play Army of Ants for free and use them to do 1-3 damage, use Pym Particles to play Swarm Tactics which will draw you a card and ready your Hero and change to Giant Form and deal 1 damage and gain +2 Attack from Giant Strengths. Or you could use Hope Summers to grab a Resize to grow big and use Earth's Mightiest Heroes to get the exact same results.

  4. Either way, you have 5 Attack so use Leading Blow to punch the Villain a couple times, use Preservation to play Giant Stomp and gain another 1HP, then Face the Past to draw more cards before destroying Yellowjacket.

This really started with me challenging myself to use Everyday Hero in a deck but it turned out that there is a lot of synergy here and it has so many fun sequences and interactions. I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think!

I love this! Great to see Everyday Hero get some use, and I think it really works here!

I still haven't seen Dr. Sinclair in an Ant-Man Deck.

(Ready for a Fight is just too good.)

Wouldnt the +2 attack from giant strength triggered with ready for a fight go away at the end of the villain phase since its effect is only until end of the turn? So on step 4 in your writeup you would have 5 attack?

@TonyStark Sorry to get your hopes up!

(I completely agree!)

Great catch,@NiceShot318! You are totally correct and I changed it from 7 to 5.

I think the main impact this has on gameplay is just that on turns where you will not be defending (to play Counter-Punch) and also don't have an additional way to change form with Resize/Swarm Tactics, you would use Ready for a Fight to flip up to Tiny Form to take the hit to the face so that you could use your normal flip to go to Giant Form with the +2 Attack for Leading Blow.

Thank you again for the correction! This is why I love getting comments!

Just to follow up, I still haven’t recovered from reading this.

Fun deck. Just played it 2 handed with Wasp aggression against Kang for the Quantumania movie theme. It was a major success using Ready for a Fight multiple times, and did 31 damage to finish him off using Leading Blow and 2 Giant Stomp including Wasp's Pinpoint Strike.

I did include Dr. Sinclair and was able to use to get my heal from 3 back to 12 in 1 turn.

I will be playing this one again!

@BlueRiver I'm glad you had fun with it and I love the Quantumania theme with Wasp and Kang! I might try it and throw in the MODOK minion set too!

@ironpaddle Thank you for sharing the video! Expert Ultron is no joke and I enjoyed watching the deck work so well in the thematic matchup!

@boomguy Just to follow up, neither have I.

Fun deck! I added Hidden Base even though it sort of defeats the purpose of the Counter-Punch combo (unless the villain can get piercing attacks)

Feb 22, 2026 sinkhymn · 943

@Rubybooty That is a perfect addition for the deck! It let's you flip up to Tiny form on turns when you don't have a Counter-Punch. I am happy you had fun with the deck!
