Spider-Woman - Tick. Tick. Boom!

"Here comes the Boom"

Boom Bap

Boom Boom is no stranger to danger (or Spider-Woman decks), making this sort of an unoriginal rap. But here's my take on this explosively fun ally with the help of the Leadership aspect.

The general strategy here is to find Boom Boom and start building up the Boom with a fierceness. You don't need to get too many though. I recommend 6-7, or whatever is enough to clear the board of ALL threats. Use your boomtuition to figure out the best time.

• If you struggle to find her early on, you've got plenty of useful allies and support cards to build your board state and get the Boom going later on. The Boom is inevitable.

Once you explode the threats, you Make the Call for Boom Boom again and immediately start building up another Boom.

Get Ready and Command Team are here to boost the Boom build and the readies are rounded out with Children of the Atom and Utopia to let her Boom a bit more.

If Boom Boom is already working on the next Boom, you can utilize Make the Call to bring her buddies back in to trigger Utopia on demand.

Ally Tech-Boom

• Beak is a cheap & useful Utopia target
• Dust is great for clearing those Tough status cards across the board before a big Boom
• Forge knows how to find Utopia and if it's already out will ready Boom Boom, assuming CotA is out
• Boomballs knows how to really put the hurt on targets and is great for those rare huge minions, or just beating down the villain
• Rictor is like a little mini-Boom Boom, but only hits minions engaged with you. Another way to soften targets up before going Boom
• Sunfire is a cheap Utopia trigger with a situational ability - great Booms of fire.

Superhuman Agility - Boom or Bust?

We'd be remiss to not have some kind of synergy with Spider-Woman's signature ability. Make the Call + Basic ally triggers Superhuman Agility for Leadership, and we've got Get Ready and Gatekeeper for cheap Agility boosts as well. Gatekeeper is great to get additional value for when we inevitably over-Boom our targets while being dirt cheap to allow us to play other cards.

Boom Best

This deck is optimal against minion heavy scenarios and especially in multiplayer where other players have all kinds of ways to summon enemies these days. I excluded minion summoning because the deck is focused around multiplayer and if you go a few rounds without minion threats, that just gives you more time to charge up. If you want to get a little crazy with it, you could increase the deck size and add 3x Looking for Trouble and 3xSquared Off.

Also, the 1x Power of Aggression seems like an odd placement, but helps balance the Aggression and Leadership cards and can be used with Make the Call to pay for 5 allies and is also useful for Venom Blast. If you find you have enough resource generation, you can swap this out with another Red card.

Lastly, Contaminant Immunity is fantastic to keep you healthy and tough and lets stall for time to build up the Boom counters. Pheromones does likewise, stopping villain activations to help you and your team. You did bring a team, right?

If you haven't played a deck like this before, I highly recommend it! Bring it to a multiplayer game and enjoy the Boom. It's a blast!

Until next time... Tick. Tick. Boom!

Peace.
