Deck Strategies
Iron Man, Titan of Innovation
This deck is built around artifact synergies, with the commander acting as a birthing pod for artifacts. It includes pieces that build out the board, get extra value off sacrifices, and shuffle destroyed tutor targets back into the library.
Captain America, First Avenger
This deck is a low-to-the-ground Voltron style deck that aims to get Captain America out quickly and protect him. It includes ways to turn his shield throwing damage ability into extra value and damage amplification.
Black Panther, Wakandan King
This deck focuses on going wide with tokens, which allow the commander to put +1/+1 counters on creatures and move them around for value. It includes one-one counter synergies to make the most out of a growing board state.
Wolverine, Best There Is
The deck revolves around damage, with fight spells and burn spells that let Wolverine deal out tons of direct damage to opponents. It includes pump effects to make those doubled-up hits even stronger.
