Witch on Witch Action!

I have been looking forward to trying Scarlet Witch in leadership and Enchantress just arrived at my house. Seemed like a good idea with it being almost Halloween. I was expecting a few fun, thematic games while I was tweaking a new deck idea. What I wasn't expecting was the feeling every game had of these two succubi brainwashing allies and minions in a back-and-forth battle while casting spells at each other!

"So I said..."

"...Witch!"

Not too complicated to play but lots of good choices. Cycle through your deck with both Furi, Superpowered Siblings, and Spiritual Meditation. Early on you want to get out The Sorcerer Supreme, Quincarrier, and Magic Shields to build up and stay alive. Once you have Scarlet Witch's Crest, your Hex Bolts become more useful.

But the key to this deck is Giant-Man who can come out cheap via Summoning Spell, Call for Backup, or Chaos Magic!

Inspiring Presence becomes 4 damage for 2 ER. Beast can grab Innovation to heal Giant-Man (which is better than a double). Reinforced Suit is great on GM (8 damage for 2 ER!).

Black Panther lets you reuse Summoning Spell for another 4-5 cost target. Or after your board is full, he can help you find the most efficient card in this deck.

I remember when I first started playing Marvel Champions and I couldn't figure out what people saw in White Tiger. For one lower cost, Maria Hill was just as good for a thwart, a block, and a card (unless you were on the second stage of the Villain when you draw two). Of course, at the time I only played on standard. Nowadays, I usually play on expert (if the hero/deck allows) so drawing 2-3 cards with White Tiger feels much more impactful. The same can be said for United We Stand because it feels amazing in this deck! How efficient is it? Against a stage 3 Enchantress, [it] will heal Quicksilver, Beast, and Giant-Man with one card. That is 8 damage for 1 ER!!!

But don't get scared away if you enjoy playing on standard! Since this deck is not built to one-shot the Villain after flipping them, it is likely that you will have a chance to play United We Stand on the Villain's last stage for maximum reward!

This turned out to be such a fun matchup and after ten games (twice with each Enchantment), every game felt different. There was so much variety because of the different Enchantment each game, the minions you can bring over to your side, and Wanda's inherent chaos. Give it a go and let me know what you think. Just make sure the girls are distracted before you speak your mind.
