Wasp Multiplicity

I may be the only who remembers the cheesy 1996 Michael Keaton movie Multiplicity. Well today we pay homage to that documentary about a guy cloning himself over and over again to manage regular life. This deck was inspired by the Winning Hand podcast episode 78 about Multiple Man.

Multiple Man

The idea behind this deck is to facilitate getting Multiple Man out. He is a great blocking ally, but he can be hard to make work because if you have a copy in the discard pile, that copy does not get searched for when you're playing him. Wasp can get around this by shuffling resource cards into your discard pile. This also works really well when you're close to the end of a deck pass - shuffle a single copy of Multiple Man back into your deck when you flip down (maybe along with the Genius card), and, if you draw him, you can shuffle the other two back in when your next turn starts.

Tough Cards

This deck also features a lot of tough cards to help Wasp and the Multiple Men block, from Muster Courage and Perseverance. If you're playing Standard, you can probably cut the two copies of Muster Courage.

Flipping Down

To assist you in flipping down, you can confuse the villain with Professor X (and shuffle him back in after) or you can trigger Ready for a Fight and then grab it back with Practiced Plan (just a single copy of each).

While you're down, use the opportunity to heal with Dr. Sinclair or play a copy of Moon Girl for more card draw.

Readying

With all this defense and healing, you won't need protection cards that focus on defending for yourself, so instead, we focus on readying, which Wasp can make particular use of on her Giant side, as she can split up her basic attacks and thwarts as she sees fit and boost them up with Rapid Growth. Be mindful that you will need to have taken at least 2 damage to use What Doesn't Kill Me, so it may make sense to take an initial hit. You also need to have your Bio-Synthetic Wings to use Ever Vigilant.

Nemesis

I've included a copy of Face the Past because I noticed that Wasp's Nemesis Beetle is really not that big a deal and is usually tamer than most other encounter cards you will see. She also shuffles herself back into the encounter card if you don't pay to put her in the discard. My advice is never to pay, you usually want to see her come out.

This is my first published deck. I really enjoyed playing it and I was able to defeat Stretch22's gauntlet on Expert (Klaw, Magneto, Zola with Blue Moon, Red Skull with Crime, and Juggernaut), demonstrating its flexibility to various types of challenges. I hope you enjoy it.
