The single biggest issue with Spectrum is finding yourself stuck in an energy form and not being able to change when you want to.

This deck is designed to give you flexibility to pilot (heh!) Spectrum and do whatever you need, and is aimed at anyone who has had trouble with Spectrum or may new newer to the game. By drawing more cards you will get to her awesome signature events faster and more frequently. It has been tested against a few scenarios (at all player counts!) and has been really fun across all of them. It is fairly straightforward, but has proven to be a lot of fun to play!

Thanks to @andyr for helping me test it and providing feedback to smooth out the decklist.

1. Draw Cards

Every single ally puts at least one card into your hand. Hope Summers is the real MVP by grabbing you one of your own signature events (or Energy Duplication if it isn’t out yet). Kaluu gets you an event, which is hopefully a signature event!

But this isn't just a solo deck: Maria Hill gives everyone a card. Avengers Mansion draws more cards for you or a friend. Mission Leader also adds cards for the entire table!

2. Change Forms

Rapid Response can bring your allies back, which bring more cards back, giving you more of what you need. It is one of the most important card in this deck, and there three copies so you can always have one in play. For changing forms, it is ideal on Blue Marvel because it means changing forms is easier, when you need it! (Be aware that White Tiger has to be played from hand, so Rapid Response will not work with her.)

Stuck in a form and can’t get out? Flip to AE to reset your energy form and then go back up! Hope Summers draws you a signature (Superpower) card (like Gamma Blast, Photon Speed, or Speed of Light), meaning you can use it to change form.

3. Ready Up & Soar

Spectrum can have a beefy 3 ATK/3 THW, depending on her energy form. So let’s use it! Ready to Rumble readies you when you change energy forms. "You Got This!" also readies you, and Soaring Acrobatics boosts basic activations and pays off from the first time you play it.

Being ready for action is great!

Final notes:

• Spectrum has lots of resources to pay for everything, including Quincarrier and Deft Focus, and two built-in resource generators, which is awesome!

• Health can be an issue with Spectrum, but Noble Sacrifice keeps us alive and protected. Block with allies if needed, but they are generally there to get you cards and then manage whatever you need to, depending on what form you’re in.

Sideboard

• If you're playing standard, White Tiger doesn't draw as many cards, you could replace her for another ally. Also, be aware that Rapid Response does not work on her as she has to be played from hand. Vivian is a solid substitution against certain scenarios that benefit from her ability. Vision is a versatile addition that can benefit from Spectrum's resource generation to help with thwarting and attacking.

• In solo play, Professor X can help with safely flipping down. Cyclops can help with a damage push, especially in a 3-4p game. I would recommend swapping out another ally like White Tiger or Ironheart for either of these.

• You could add in Strength In Numbers to use allies to fuel even more card draw, or Make the Call to add more ally recursion. I found both to not be necessary, but that is dependent on your style of play and your matchups.
