Hey all it's another deck of the week. We are rounding out the core set with one final deck - Spider-Man / Leadership. I know, I know, everyone and their Aunt May has a Black Cat voltron deck but hear me out - in this pocket of the multiverse Spider-man and Felicia are teaming up as bastions of crime. Cheat against those villains and grab extra cards from the top of your deck - just try not to discard your Backflips!
I couldn't let @dr00 have all the fun - it's another leadership deck without Strength In Numbers almost like there's multiple valid strategies in the aspect!?@!
The Heist
We need to be discreet about this - we don't want any FFG designers on our trail. Everyone loves Black Cat because of her amazing lack of consequential damage for attacking. I get it - it's very attractive - but would you believe me that her other ability can be just as strong? After you play Black Cat you'll discard the top 2 cards of your deck and place any mental cards discarded into your hand. Back in the core set days there weren't enough hot mental cards to make this consistent. Thankfully, two years later I'm all about it. Our deck has 13 cards without a printed mental resource, meaning 27 of the cards are valid Black Cat targets. We're hoping to steal the show by spamming Black Cat as much as possible helping Spidey burn through his deck looking for Swinging Web Kick.
The Plan
Leadership has a lot of recursion. Like a lot. Unfortunately the more traditional means Make the Call and Rapid Response don't work well with Black Cat's ability. Then we got Regroup - possibly the most busted of the recursive options in Leadership - and a mental to boot. Regroup will allow us to bounce Black Cat to hand after chumping with her. Ideally you draw enough cards to do this over and over again but while waiting for your next Regroup Felicia can just use her auto ping damage. Consider this, you are Spider-Man with Regroup and Black Cat on the board. Rhino swings at you allowing you to draw to 6 cards with your Spider-Sense. Felicia can chump and jump back in your hand, 7 cards now. When you play her next turn, she will hopefully hit 2 mental cards - giving you access to 9 cards from your deck (one being Black Cat herself). Hopefully you can muster a Swinging Web Kick in all that and go to face against the villain!
Note, we've still included Make the Call and Rapid Response mainly because you want to be plowing through your deck with card draw from Maria Hill and Nick Fury. I hope you try this deck out and see just how fun "that other" ability Black Cat has can be.

Oct 22, 2021I have to try this in multiplayer. Blocking with black cat and bouncing Hill all the time sounds like a great support for other players. |
Oct 22, 2021"The key to this deck is <card from one of few packs I don't have>..." Always. ALWAYS! |

In all seriousness I forgot to mention how quickly this deck can set up a chain of 3 continual blocking allies. You can almost trivialize the attacks in the villain phase. Start with 6 cards in hand (include 1 Nick Fury, or a Make the Call and Nick in discard). Use Scientist to Play Nick and draw 3 cards (you should have 5 cards in hand assuming everything is a single resource). Play Black Cat and draw hopefully 2 mental cards (again now 4 cards in hand). Play Maria Hill and draw 1 card. Play regroup and profit? You can now block for yourself, and 3 other players bouncing Nick, Maria, and Felicia to you hand - setting up your next turn to start with 9 cards (because of Spider-Senses). That's enough to repeat this process all over again and as you are seeing 9+3+2+1 cards from your deck you are pretty likely to find a regroup. It's insanely efficient and just protects the whole table. |
Oct 25, 2021Played this against the first half of the MTS campaign (standard as I’m a noob still) and it was a absolute blast. Finally the Spider-man deck that I’ve been looking for. |
Oct 26, 2021This is a very cool idea, and I had a great time with it yesterday in a two-handed solo. I ended up making some alterations to give me more control of the allies. Added Last Stand so I could have Felicia, Fury or Maria take a hard dive once Rapid Response was out and immediately benefit from a second return to play. Also added Ready for Action to let a chump blocker last an extra round in case I was a little low on fodder. Fantastic concept, really enjoyed playing it. |
Oct 26, 2021Annoyingly Last Stand discard an ally and doesn't defeat it so it can't combo with Rapid Response :( I tried it before I realized! |
Oct 26, 2021Oh man, I totally missed that, and abused the heck out of it. Yikes. Guess it was just a little too good to be real... |
Oct 26, 2021Of course...I could force the rapid response combo with Drax and Fury...and then use the Ready for Action to safely buff Drax...wheels churning |
Oct 27, 2021Great deck. I think you can change Trikelion for an Avenger Tower, same job but for an other mental energy, a 2 cost. Perhaps PowerMan could be better that Warmachine for a 3 cost. |
Oct 28, 2021That meme almost took me out! LOL! Cool deck design though. |

Dec 04, 2021Any thoughts on updating with new cards in War Machine? Save the Day, and Black Panther seem like they could slot in. |
Dec 07, 2021
However I like the inclusion of Black Panther... Legit when I play the card I hear Chadwick Bosman saying, "And get this man his 'Event Card'" haha |
Dec 10, 2021I love this deck! Used it to beat MTS (Expert) and other scenarios. When you get Black Cat going, it's very crazy - she's chasing her tail and going thru her 9 lives...all while drawing 2 mental cards. |
Dec 10, 2021Just played this deck even though I played your other one similar deck, and THIS CONCEPT IS SO OP! I love it amazing in solo and even more so in multiplayer! |
Feb 08, 2022The only real downfall of this build is when Black Cat gets stuck on the bottom of your deck. It's not fun. |
Jul 27, 2022So, I've been looking for some other ways to play the good ole' Spider-Man, and this deck hits the spot for me! I can't wait to try it out. I've updated it with some new tech like Ingenuity, Moon Girl, Vivian, and Power Man, though I'm not sure about the last one quite yet...taking out US Agent, War Machine, and Goliath. I know Goliath is super strong, but he doesn't regroup well, so I went with Power Man who can come in, drop his big attack in and stick around for a block to regroup. So excited to try this one! |
Mar 19, 2023This deck it's still amazing in 2023. I made a few changes to take advantage of the enter-play triggers. -Goliath -U.S Agent -War Machine +Professor X +Mirage +Beast |
Apr 20, 2023You've even included Assess the Situation you madman, I'm in. |
