Explore the deck synergies here:

  • Psylocke and Electro give additional Energy points. Psylocke’s effect is one-time only. But Electro’s On Reveal ability reoccurs each turn.
  • Wave drops the big cards’ Cost. (These include Sandman, Professor X, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom, Heimdall, and She-Hulk).
  • Sandman negates Electro’s drawback. He forces the player to play only one card as well.
  • Doctor Octopus and Iceman disrupt the opponent’s strategy. Doctor Octopus force-drops four of their cards while Iceman increases one of their card’s Cost.
  • Professor X locks down a lane. This adds an extra layer of control to the deck.
  • Heimdall, She-Hulk, and Doctor Doom serve as the win conditions. It's improbable for all of them to be on the board simultaneously, but a duo would be sufficient.

The Best Pool 4 & 5 Version

Since the debut of Ms. Marvel, a new META ramp deck has emerged: Electro-Alioth lineup. To replicate this setup, players will need to unite Electro with the infamous Alioth and complete the gang with Jeff, Nebula, and, of course, Ms. Marvel.

This deck is crafted to secure control of a lane using Professor X, ensure victory in another area, and compel the opponent to engage in the third lane, where Alioth will nullify their efforts.

How to Play Electro Ramp Decks

The ramp archetype revolves around storming the board with early powerhouses. For that, players must utilize Electro and Wave’s synergy to gain +1 Max Energy each turn and cheapen the cards. This allows them to drop 5- and 6-Cost cards as early as turn four, which leaves room for other strong options on turns five and six.

Here are the best combos for an Electro Ramp deck:

  • Electro, Psylocke, Wave. On the fifth turn, the trio bestows a total of seven Energy points, and all cards have a maximum cost of four.
  • Ebony Maw,Doctor Octopus, Heimdall. With this combo, Octopus pulls enemy cards to the right lane, and Heimdall pushes the friendly cards toward the left location, where Ebony Maw expects to join them.
  • Electro, Sunspot, She-Hulk. Even when things go wrong, Electro’s extra Energy points will buff Sunspot and reduce the Cost of She-Hulk.

How to Counter Electro Ramp

As with any On Reveal card, Electro can be countered with Cosmo. However, the best counterplay for his ramp archetype is destroy. Cards like Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Alioth could target the final-round powerhouses of a ramp deck, weakening the board as much as possible.

Disruptive cards like Iceman and Baron Mordo are also reliable counters. They increase the Cost of the enemy’s hand, postponing their early heavy drops.
