The Best Deck for Blue Marvel
As an Ongoing buff card, Blue Marvel is ideal for an Onslaught-Kazar deck. Players can create such a lineup by combining Blue Marvel, Onslaught, and Ka-Zar, with Ironheart, Ant-Man, Angela, Forge, Sunspot, Nightcrawler, Squirrel Girl, Elsa Bloodstone, and She-Hulk. The goal of this setup is to spread low-Cost cards on the board only to buff them with a late-game Ka-Zar + Blue Marvel combination. The following table shows the Cost and Power of this setup.
Card | Cost | Power |
Blue Marvel | 5 | 3 |
Onslaught | 6 | 7 |
Ka-Zar | 4 | 4 |
Ant-Man | 1 | 1 |
Forge | 1 | 1 |
Nightcrawler | 1 | 2 |
Squirrel Girl | 1 | 2 |
Ironheart | 3 | 0 |
Elsa Bloodstone | 2 | 2 |
She-Hulk | 6 | 9 |
Sunspot | 1 | 0 |
Angela | 2 | 2 |
How to Play Blue Marvel
When playing Blue Marvel, players should prioritize getting as many cards on the board as possible. That is because Blue Marvel’s Ongoing effect works across the board, targeting all played cards up until that point. Additionally, players must try to duplicate Blue Marvel’s ability (when possible) using cards like Onslaught.
In the current lineup, the goal is to drop one-Cost cards (Ant-Man, Forge, Squirrel Girl, Sunspot, and Nightcrawler), buff them with Ka-Zar, and maximize their Power with an ultimate Blue Marvel and Onslaught combo.
She-Hulk and Sunspot are passive Power-gainers. Sunspot will use unspent Energy points to get extra Power, while She-Hulk will utilize them to reduce her Cost. (Since there are five one-Cost characters in the deck, players are likely to save a few Energy points each round.)
How to Counter Blue Marvel
Countering Blue Marvel is possible by playing anti-Ongoing cards like Enchantress. She can stop all Ongoing effects in her locations, effectively debuffing cards that have been boosted by Blue Marvel. However, players can also use Shadow King and Shag-Chi against most Blue Marvel decks.
