Ironheart Powerlevels to Max

Summary

Ironheart starts slow, but is a powerhouse when she reaches Version 3. This deck offsets her early game weaknesses with insane card draw and strong, cheap thwarting.

Inspiration:

• MiguelCantillo3's Ironheart - Perfected: https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/22253

Game plan

Ramp as fast as possible to Version 3 without losing. Then win.

Mulligan targets:

• Ronnie Williams
• Stroke of Genius
• Ingenuity
• Progress counter generators
• Card draw

Riri wants to flip every turn so she can generate progress counters and do hero things. Thwart aggressively so she can flip safely.

Key combos

• Moon Girl, Nick Fury, and Avengers Mansion generate card draw to quickly find key upgrades and progress counter generators.
• The Power in All of Us fuels the aforementioned cards while also enabling Champions Mobile Bunker, Helicarrier, Ingenuity, and Vivian.
• One Way or Another accelerates card draw at the cost of putting side schemes into play.
• Dispatch side schemes from OWA using cheap, efficient Justice events. Then draw from Skilled Investigator to further improve efficiency.
• Consistent resources and Ingenuity fuel Child Prodigy for even more progress counters.
• After reaching Version 2, prioritize Photon Blasters and Propulsion Jets to reap the benefits of Ironheart's scaling.
• Once fully ramped, just keep ramping. All of the progress counters get converted to consequence-free damage to obliterate everything in sight using V3's Maximum Efficiency ability.

Additional considerations

• Spider-Man can be replaced with Vivian, Mockingbird, or another ally/event as needed.
• Add Under Surveillance to avoid popping the main scheme.
• Extra copies of Skilled Investigator thin the deck and make teammates less mad about One Way or Another.
• Overwatch can easily generate 3 or 4 thwart in the mid and late game, but is weak early on.
• Lay Down the Law can be clutch when the stars align, but it's literally unplayable half the time.
• In 3 or 4 player games, some events can be replaced with Even the Odds.
