Welcome Aboard the Treeship Yggdrasill!, ByteDance, OVERKILL EM
Welcome to the second issue of Decks from the Digital Web! Here, I'll be trying out some decks I found on Marvelcdb, and sharing my experience with you! The focus will be on
newer decks that I truly love and highly recommend playing.
Welcome Aboard the Treeship Yggdrasill!

Groot fits so well as a support hero. His main goal is just to build up counters, so you can afford to dedicate some of your resources to help others. This is an ally focused build, which can pump out a lot of chump blockers, and gives allies tough status. This lets Groot hold onto his counters much easier. The allies in this deck are pretty cheap in general, so "Welcome Aboard" is often more useful to help your teammates play their allies. Help everyone fill the board with allies, then use Ready for Action and "We Are Groot" to hand out tough cards. I think that Agent 13 is here to ready Helicarrier, as another way to give resources to other players. Personally, I think I would consider replacing her with another ally like Cyclops. And I'd like to add Call for Backup for another way to give everyone allies. But its a super cool deck.
Here's this deck in action alongside Phoenix. Look at all those status cards! Love it.
ByteDance

The central combo here is to use Spider-Man 2099 to recall Spider-Byte and keep replaying her for free. The first time I played ByteDance, I didn't ever actually get Miguel to the table. The deck still functioned fine, but it was nothing special. It wasn't till my second game that I actually got the combo together, and what a difference it makes! Every turn Miguel activates, you now get +1 card draw from Web of Life and Destiny, a free ally to do another extra 2 thwart, and +1/+1 from Spider-Woman's Superhuman Agility ability. Getting both allies out, and having enough tech upgrades out to reduce Spider-Byte's cost takes some time, but Across the Spider-Verse can help get Miguel in play at least.
I had previously questioned if this deck needs 3 Med Teams. They are quite expensive, but having healing for Miguel is crucial in the mid to late game. 3 copies does increase your odds of drawing one when you want it, so I think it's probably the right call.
Overkill Em

This is a minion summoning deck, similar idea to one with Vision, where he can stay in intangible form and take -2 damage from all of the minions. With Nick, you can sit in Stealth form and the minons will scheme instead of attack, with -1 SCH, since 1 threat goes to the suit form instead. I actually found this much harder to do than with Vision, since the Stealth ability turns off as soon as there is 5 threat there. This made the gameplay more of a puzzle, which I wasn't expecting! You can't just sit in Stealth all game and collect every single minion. At some point, you need to go to Assault and unload all those counters. This creates a really fun loop of building up, then unleashing, then going back to stealth.
Between "Bring It!", No Quarter, and Hall of Heroes, this deck can draw a ton of cards. Take a look at this turn I had playing on Tabletop Simulator, where I drew 8 cards off of No Quarter, into 4 more from "Bring it!"
This deck is similar to a deck by Man-is-Obsolete called 50 is the New Over the Kill. Both decks do a lot of the same things, but that one runs a 50 card deck, in order to have higher chances of drawing aggression cards with No Quarter. So give both decks a like, and play whichever one you prefer!
That's 3 more decks for you to try! I highly recommend all of them. Try all three, leave them a like and comment on marvelcdb, and then let me know how your games went!
Thanks for the deck shout out!
