Captain America - side scheme justice

I built this deck just for the chance to play a different playstyle, a few new or underplayed cards (I really like it when new cards offers the chance to re-visit those we left aside a long time ago... in this case, Followed).

The concept is simple: get bonuses from thwarting side schemes, since there are quite a few options for that now. Put the schemes into play with One Way or Another, thwart with Cap's Fearless Determination (or with Heroic Intuition) and reap the benefits from Skilled Investigator, Justice Served, Turn the Tide, Followed or the new Chance Encounter.

Put in play your tutored ally while in AE to get the price reduction from "Living Legend", escape the scheming with Counterintelligence (and reccur it with Agent Coulson, which you can also reccur with Chance Encounter).

It is, of course, somewhat situationnal, but One Way or Another gives you a decent shot at drawing some of those cards and, in expert, side schemes are quite common right at the beginning, so a bold mulligan could surprise you.

And sometimes you get to trigger crazy combos (my first game against Rhino, on the first turn I got One Way or Another, thwarted 2 side schemes, triggering 2 Turn the Tides, Chance Encounter and Followed).

Why CAP?

I tried a similar approach with Vision to reccur Vivian, which was ok. With CAP, however, if a card turns out to be un-playable (like One Way or Another when there are no side schemes left), you can use it to trigger "I can do this all day" and make it count.

Plus, with Fearless Determination in his kit, Cap has a few cards to help reach the 3 THW needed for a lot of side schemes.

Also, you get the bonus -1 when you play an ally in AE, which is a big deal.

Chance Encounter is quite cool as an ally tutor! I think it can be worth a shot for some heroes and their signature ally, such as Shuri, Winter Soldier, Captain Marvel or Vivian. Winter Soldier, tutored at the right moment, could be played for free... I think I'm trying Black Widow next!

As I said, I built this just for fun a do something different ( I felt like justice had become a somewhat static One Way or Another / Clear the Area / Sonic Rifle aspect of late). So, I just played a few games, thought it might be nice to share and, who knows? Maybe someone will build something crazy with this as a starting point!

Have fun anyway!
