Scene: Midnight at a mothballed SHIELD facility in the Ozarks. Moonlight filters through an unseen window and glints off the surface of a metal table. Steve Rogers, dressed in black, leans over splayed maps and schematics. He hears footsteps and looks up.
"Nathan. Thanks for coming."
"You're Steve Rogers. You get one."
"One?"
"Favor."
"Ah. Peachy. Laura - thank you, too. I know it was out of your way."
"He's Nathan Summers. He gets one."
"Favor," Steve smiles.
Snikt. She winks. "So no more boy scouts?"
Steve adjusts his tactical suit. "Just the one. I have something ... Off books."
"And they are?" She points her chin at two shadowy figures as the air around them begins to glow.
Ava says, "Logistics."
Kaluu nods. "Logistics." A portal opens
Sharon Carter steps into the light. "Hundreds of years* of cumulative combat experience and you old pros waste time on cinematic dialogue. Gotta keep it interesting I guess."
Steve: "Suit Up."
*Ed.'s note: You know about Cable and Cap. See X-Men #19 (2021) for more about X-23's lifetimes of combat.
Core team
Steve Rogers is calling in favors and kicking a. Cable and X-23 deliver tremendous value independently and when paired. We're going to Voltron both of them with Reinforced Suit and Inspired. Honorary Avenger and Mighty Avengers will further boost the dynamic duo's stats and health.
Why it works
Steve Rogers' living legend status gives him access to significant alter-ego resources. We use Suit Up to fetch Cable and X-23 (order determined by scenario) and play them in AE with Cap's discount. Super-Soldier Serum (not hero locked) and Steve's Apartment help out. We generally want Inspired first, Reinforced Suit second, and Honorary third, though an early game Build Support for Mighty Avengers can boost the importance of Honorary.
Once the black ops team is set up, we can Suit Up for White Tiger and Kaluu for value later - each are nice ways to convert AE resources into key cards (for readies or Heroic Strike). The attachments we fetch with them get stacked on Cable and X-23.
Other considerations
-
In a multiplayer game or because you love them, Nick Fury and Maria can be swapped in for White Tiger and Kaluu. Just need to be alert to timing relative to Mighty Avengers.
-
The most important complement to this deck is confuse. We want to flip a lot, though can stay up if necessary. Ask your buddy to pack Sonic Rifle.

Apr 19, 2024Dialog alone is amazing, but I love the recall to the OG greatest leadership player with new, great allies. This is a really cool “Team” deck. Also, it’s rare to see Inspiring Presence, but it’s such a great card when you have a powerhouse team on the table. Straight up a fun deck! |
Apr 19, 2024The suit up tech is really cool! X-23 and Cable are workhorse allies and inspiring presence is underrated especially with Mighty Avengers down |
Apr 19, 2024Old pro checking in. Love the new allies! Of course Cap plays them with his discount! |
Apr 19, 2024Definitely going to be giving this a shot today, haven't played Cap in a while and this looks like the deck to bring him back. X-23 and cable are beasts of allies |
Apr 19, 2024That’s some nice prose to go with the list, you got there |
Apr 19, 2024This is awesome. I'm not a big fan of ally spam type leadership, but I love these ones where you actually feel like you're team leader of a band of heroes. Nice write up too; thematic and concise! |

Apr 20, 2024More decks need to be paired with short stories. Kudos. |
Apr 20, 2024Enjoyed the intro and of course the deck. (Also moments before that referenced issue about X-23 on Marvel Unlimited right now :D) |
Apr 20, 2024Living Legend and Suit Up, oh lawd! Going to have to give this a go! |

Apr 26, 2024The "Ed's notes" is beautiful. Love how a unique bit of life can be brought to this game with the scene setting. Thanks for the share! |
Apr 28, 2024Just played a game with this deck and it was super fun! The other player was cable so I subbed in the Iron man ally. x-23 did so much work tearing up minions and suit up kept pulling out white tiger for bonus cards. Tons of fun, thanks for posting! |
