Call for Iron Man! - War Machine

I wouldn't mind a write up. I've tried this deck against a few different villains but only had any success against Rhino who I felt safe flipping to alter ego. Super easy to get Iron man and either Bunker or Cannon out quick but past that I struggle. Should I just be trying to switch over to recurring Fury after mid game?

@Chance It’s ironic you say that because of the few villains I don’t feel safe turning to Alter Ego on solo, one is definitely Rhino. I can do a write-up, I’ve also thinking of doing videos or play throughs. But I like to get Shoulder Cannon down first to deal with immediate threat and then use allies to block and thwart while I build the suit. Try to use Rapid Response with Iron Man so you can get the pieces you want when he comes back into play. Use Call for Aid to bring back allies for blocking and thwarting. Once you have War Machine built he kinda tears through stuff with damage. I’ll try to put together something soon, I hope that helps a bit for now.

Oops...not Call for Aid, meant Make the Call* to bring back allies for blocking and thwarting obviously.

I've not played him so maybe a dumb question, but why Shoulder Cannon first?

@Marctimmins89 It seems like kind of a blah card at first glance, but honestly it just makes games go much smoother. The ability to do a ping damage is great for removing Tough statuses for larger attacks, it can clear Stun statuses (since it's an attack as well), it's able to fill stopgaps in your damage to finish off minions with different HP values... and all these are great, but one of the best uses is just to clear off any remaining ammo counters from WM before flipping down to alt-ego form to charge back up again.

Basically, it gives you a way to use WMs ammo efficiently and completely, and getting it out as early as possible ensures that you can do that as soon as possible, for the entire game.

Also, I wanted to say that I love the idea behind this deck. Shoulder Cannon aside, using infinite Iron Men to keep getting you your tech pieces is a fantastic (and hilarious) way to get set up surprisingly quickly.

I kinda wish that Leadership had some big, stupid, disposable Tech upgrade like Sonic Rifle that I could jam into this deck so that Two Against The World wouldn't be so uneventful once you have all the armor set up, but whatcha going to do =P

@Marctimmins89 Not a dumb question! Saan answered perfectly.

@Saan I totally agree with wanting that one more Tech upgrade once you get it built to make the most out of Two Against the World since you pretty much can play it every time you draw it. I did have Reinforced Suit in there for that, but I felt I didn't get THAT much use out of it. It was okay putting on a THW ally or Iron Man, but really what I want is something like the Guardian Tech upgrades that do damage. Or even better yet something higher cost that has a huge effect like you mentioned since you don't have to pay for it. I'm sure we'll get something some day in future cards, but would totally fit in this deck now. I guess in the meantime like you said Reinforced Suit or nothing, what you gonna do?

I've gone back and played with some more game against a variety of bosses but I keep getting overwhelmed about the time I need to flip to alter ego to heal and reload. Its probably that I'm just spoiled from playing your Warlock deck and being able to stun or confuse at will, lol.

@Chance Haha, yeah this one is such a different deck and plays a lot differently. I am currently buying some stuff to get a set up to do playthroughs to show people how I play my decks that I post and will give it a try this weekend.

I would definitely watch a stream with high quality play/deck analysis! Played my first games of War Machine, and getting set up took awhile. This deck makes a lot of sense to speed that up and get to the good stuff!

ratatatatatat! budda-budda-budda! pachoo-pachoo!

I love this deck! Thank you for sharing. I did end up hitting a wall with Heroic Klaw, though. After 9 attempts, I could just never get ahead of the ridiculous Encounter card curve, thanks to so many cards in Klaw's base set up that Surge or effectively put additional Encounter cards into play. So, I skipped him and moved on to Ultron and all is going smoothly thus far.

This is a fantastic build! Thank you!

Just ran this deck with minor changes though Mad Titan's and had a blast. I love that this deck is thematic and has a firm concept. Good that Call for Aid got a pic of Iron Man. What a giveaway.Really fun.

@Brian-V What has been your experience with Band Together. does it often hit for 2+?

I feel like I'm missing something about War Machine. I've tried this deck (and others) a few times. Even though I've gotten Iron Man and Shoulder Cannon out in the first hand, I get stomped from there on.

I'd love a play through for this deck or just War Machine in general.

Definitely need to update this deck now that Agent 13 is out, and maybe finally do that video for this one.

That would be great, War Machine and this deck are one of my faves

@Brian-V Great job, thanks. I'm looking forward to the new deck. War Machine is really a lot of fun :D

@Brian-V Do you have videos up yet? I'd love to subscribe to your channel, but can't find anything. Love your decks!
