So this deck has been pretty insane for me. The amount of card draw and flexibility is wild and fun.

A few points:

1. Energy Shield is just wild for Rocket. Play for free, draw 2 whenever you need to with Tinkering. Additionally, it's one more help for his squishiness, and the card is AWESOME with Groot (to make sure he survives and heals) and can be cool with Gamora (if you want her to keep pulling you events). Don't forget that The Power of Protection doubles its resources while paying for Energy Shield's ability, too! (Though Starhawk, Energy Barrier, and What Doesn't Kill Me give you just about every-turn targets for Power of Protection, too.)

2. While Rocket's out on the job with his crew of Guardians, he still phones Earth for therapy with Dr. Sinclair and technical assistance with Leo Fitz, both of whom are well worth the investment. Leo feels craaazy good in this deck.

3. I find myself using Salvage to pull Battery Packs, quite often, or Energy Barrier if I want to get those online and have the resources to play them, or whatever. But the Battery Packs are sweet because they keep Particle Cannon online and rocking and rolling, which almost single-handedly will keep minions off your back and draw you your Murdered You cards.

4. In this deck, the single copy of Ready for a Fight is not a game plan, exactly, it's more of a "break glass" protection against things like Advance, so that you can feel safe flipping all game. I find I rarely actually pop it... but the fact I could if I had to is meaningful.

5. Repurpose and What Doesn't Kill Me will typically allow Rocket to thwart massive amounts throughout the game, but you can also turn on Rocket's ATK in the late game to close it out.

I've had so much fun with this deck and hope you do, too.

Love this! A new twist on the classic Rocket Reourpose. Energy Shield and Groot is so fun!

Rocket Repurpose is one of my favorite decks in the game. This one looks good, Spider-Byte also works really well for him

I'm with @Castlefrank47, not much beats Rocket Repurpose in Champions. Great update with the new cards!!

Thanks y'all!

@Castlefrank47Spider-Byte does feel silly good, for sure! I was trying to keep a Guardians theme and not rely on chump blockers — Groot and Energy Barriers have it handled. Also, Gamora and Starhawk take two of the ally slots already, and Gamora frequently holds the last slot.

*Groot and Starhawk take of the ally slots already.

I like that you got the green targets up high enough to be able to lean into Power of Protection.

May 28, 2025 KingOfRohan · 6372

@josseroo heck yeah! There are kind of more than there appear, too, since:

— PoP can be used to pay for Energy Shield.

— Salvage can put Energy Barriers back on top and Tinkering / Knowhere can draw them when you have PoP to spend.

— Leo can grab Energy Barrier when you have PoP to spend.

— And of course Starhawk, if you keep him out, is always a target.

For having 7 double resources, I almost always have a target for them, and unlike many decks it almost feels like you have more targets as the deck progresses not fewer.

I’ve had a ton of fun playing this deck, I love how versatile it is!

I need a button with a stronger heart which reads "I love it very much". This fells perfectly rounded, a is blast to play. The best deck I've played of one of my favourite heroes.

Would Ever Vigilant work better than What Doesn't Kill Me, since you have aerial with Thruster Boots, and you don't need the first resource requirement that What Doesn't Kill Me requires, and if you flip down you can use Dr. Sinclair and your heal since you are ready.

this deck is AMAZING!!! please check out my SP//dr leadership deck and give it some likes or faves. it is called 'I don't care about allies'

May 29, 2025 KingOfRohan · 6372

@marktry But if you have Thruster Boots, you're thwarting for 3 already, 3 more after readying, so in a lot of cases it's been unnecessary to have the extra threat removal off the main from Ever Vigilant, more likely I've needed the hit points from What Doesn't Kill Me. That being said, in some games (like a 3- or 4-player game without a Justice player), that threat removal might be more necessary, or if the scenario is just not pushing damage on you then you will hit times you can't even play What Doesn't Kill Me when you want to, so yeah, it's a great trade-out depending on the situation. I prefer WDKM as the norm for this deck, though. Dr. Sinclair may also be tied up with helping other heroes.

@KingOfRohan thanks. Makes sense. I had done a leadership Rocket using Mass attack based on the Guardians of the Galaxy card draw, and of course use Leo Fitz. Poor rocket is still so squishy. :(

@marktry The squishiness always kept me away from him, he doesn’t feel squishy in this deck. Give it a spin.
