Clear off some table space, because you are going to have a LOT of cards on the table at once!

The goal with this deck is simple, get as many preparation cards into play as you can so that nearly everything that happens during the villain turn gives you a chance to trigger a response, then use Practiced Plan to put your preparation back in hand.

You will definitely want to get your Black Widow's Gauntlet cards and/or a Helicarrier/Quincarrier into play early to facilitate spamming preparation cards.

Hero form is her best form because she can deal damage in addition to her preparation effects, also lots of her preps only work in hero form. But you can still get a lot done in Alter-Ego, Breaking and Entering, Covert Ops, The Douglass, Followed, Intelligence, Counterintelligence and Lay the Trap all work just as well there.

I have not tried this deck in solo play, so I can't speak to its effectiveness there, but it does tend to nibble away at the villain with only the occasional bigger hit from [Dance of Death] or Lay the Trap(/card/08004), so it may not hold up well against foes who need to be rushed down. It has worked well in multiplayer though.

Something I failed to mention in the initial writeup: You pretty routinely get Winter Soldier at a steep discount, if not for free.

Also, if you are going up against a lot of minions, swapping out Intelligence for Informant can be a solid move and let you get away with more turns in alter-ego.

Did a 2 player game with this deck and Gambit Leadership, against Black Widow, and pretty much steam rolled the scenario.

The Douglass seems a little high for BW's budget, would replacing it with Superpower Training (for Synth-Suit, which triggered almost every turn, or the Gauntlets if the Suit is already out) be a better choice? Bonus synergy with Followed.

Thank you for the deck, and hope to see more BW decks as this wave releases, with more Preparation cards to build around ^^

I'll admit to experimenting a bit with using the unique helicarriers outside of Maria Hill here. It is certainly not an essential part of the deck and can be cut or swapped out for other cards that pay off more regularly. With 5 double resources as well as Helicarrier and Quincarrier, it doesn't have to be a huge expense, and it is a nice rip cord for when things get messy, but it can be tricky to get into play.
