The Premise Have you ever wanted to use cards like Foiled!and Great Responsibility to great effect? Me too. Well this is the bare-bones deck for you. I'm sure you can find ways to put your own twist on this but the key is to use Spider-Woman the queen of status conditions to stop the villain in their tracks.

The Basics Spider-Woman has a ton of cards that manipulate the board status effects. I'm looking at cards like Pheromones that can set up many combos along with Contaminant Immunity which can provide a vital buff to Jessica's own status.We'll use these status cards as pseudo-resources for other events in a 1-2 combo of the ages.

Status as a Resource So how does one use a status card as a resource. Our first hint came back with Get Behind Me!. If you can stun the villain this card becomes just a pure treachery cancel. This continued with cards like Toe to Toe. Now across the aspects we have a ton of these cards and they fall perfectly into Jessica's kit.

Combo Outlines Here are several of the combo outlines. You are probably going to notice a pattern here.

  1. Play Contaminant Immunity or Perseverance then use Great Responsibility to absorb threat into a tough token.

  2. Play Contaminant Immunity or Perseverance or Pheromones then use Get Behind Me! to cancel treachery cards and ignore the attack.

  3. Play Contaminant Immunity, Perseverance, or Pheromones and then use Bait and Switch to remove threat and ignore the "attack like" cost of the event.

  4. Play Pheromones and then use Swift Retribution to deal damage ignoring the "scheme" cost.

  5. Play Swift Retribution with Foiled! in hand to better weigh your options.

  6. The Ultimate Whammy - Play Swift Retribution into Great Responsibility.

This deck is far from optimized - it's got 29 events. If you know me that's typically 20 too many! But somehow it works - all the pieces fall in place. I highly recommend you try out a Spider-Woman deck with one of the above combos and see how things work out for you. Maybe don't focus on all of them like I do and you'll have a serviceable deck.

Some possible swap outs: -3 Perseverance +3 Preemptive Strike

-1 Brother Voodoo +1 Iron Fist

There are some nice combos here. I'm thinking Swift Retribution may combo better with Great Responsibility. How does Contaminant Immunity and Perseverance work with Great Responsibility? The villain still won't be scheming when you're in hero mode.
