Captain America

I like this idea and made my own deck derived from this one, but... why Deft Focus? Am I wrong, or does it work with literally 0 cards in the deck? Unless I'm missing something, Cap's only Superpower cards are 0 cost.

@estyles Hey there sorry I did not see your message! Deft focus huh? Well... I wished I could blame something credible, but the fact is I just threw it in because I'd been playing the same deck with Spidey and Hulk, and it was in it (made sense for those decks, mind you!). And I just didn't think on it one bit.

The rest of it is all right, curve is so low that you don't really need resources to make it work, and I thought about playing allies in AE form to get the discount, but it turns out you don't really flip to AE much with this deck...

What I've found playing this against the GMW campaign (2-handed solo with Rocket Aggression) is that I want to flip to AE in order to heal up to full and reactivate Dauntless, but can't afford to let my guard down for even a turn. And also that if I don't get a good starting turn building up Upgrades, it's a real struggle. But yes, the resource cost of allies hasn't been a major issue and I rarely use the discount. I do try to have Cap go second on turn 1 so that the other hero can use the discount before he flips.

@estyles Yeah, GMW is very rough and this deck needs some setup to reach full impact. Maybe a bit slow, especially if you're playing expert.

IMO the best route for 2 handed GMW is a thwarter and an attacker (I got through with relative ease using Captain Marvel to thwart and She-Hulk to attack).

Leadership makes it rough against Collector 1, protection usually makes the games longer so against, say, Ronan, whose start is already waaaay too much...
