Geo Has To Ride His Unicycle - Sidekick Upgrade

June 2024 Edits

Having seen the sidekick shenanigans everyone else has gotten up to, why shouldn't we be doing it as well? Even though Wong isn't used as a tron ally, we can still benefit from new ways to pull him fast from the deck, and ready ourselves even better.

-1 Rapid Response -3 Make the Call -1 Summoning Spell -1 Wonder Man

+1 Sidekick +2 Side-by-Side +2 Suit-Up +1 Stinger

We find it extremely rare that Wong dies, so Make the Call and one Rapid Response can go. Suit-Up is a more attractive tutor for Wong than Summoning Spell - we have to pay for him, but we directly grab him rather than discarding for whichever ally is on top.

Side-by-Side is excellent to heal us both, get a new cycle, get a new card cast. But we don't always have the resources to cast the extra spell from our untapping.

There isn't much more loose change to be had in the deck at this point, so I might next think about breaking 40 cards for some extra resource generation, such as Bloodgem, Quincarrier, Helicarrier and the like

Thanks to the new rules reference for Marvel Champions, (https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2023/5/18/rules-reference-debrief-1/), our dear boy Cosmo has finally been put down. Our sweet voltron boy is gone, which means Wong is all alone for our invocation cycling needs, and means our deck needs a massive rework.

The changes made to this deck were inspired by https://www.mchrec.com

All of our tron upgrade cards are out, and potentially the Leadership aspect entirely! Not really though; I was already running Get Ready, Make the Call, and Rapid Response even when we had the luxury of two cyclers. Now that Wong is flying solo, he needs to be supported and recurred whenever necessary.

Out: Cosmo, Comms Implant, Inspired, Laser Blaster, one Rapid Response, Mockingbird

In: Earth's Mightiest Heroes x3: I realized that the reason you people use this card is so your allies can tap down for Strange so he can keep casting. Love it. Summoning Spell dig for Wong, or an Avenger, or a blocker. Kaluu an extra body and digs for an event - we have 22 in the deck, Hawkeye

Future Considerations: We'd like more Avenger allies for Earth's Mightiest, and MCHREC suggests Black Knight
