Shield-blocking Threat

This is my deck for Boomguy's "Great Responsibility Challenge".

Captain America has two cards which make Great Responsibility "great":

Shield Block (the namesake of this deck) will prevent all damage from Great Responsibility
Captain America's Helmet sets him to 1 HP if he would be defeated.

Generation X finds Shield Block and Superpower Training finds the Helmet.

You're also playing some "S.H.I.E.L.D. Good Stuff" to further utilize the theme of "Shield-blocking":

Agent Coulson finds Counterintelligence to prevent some threat while in alter-ego
Monica Chang finds and buffs Surveillance Teams

And here is some "Justice Good Stuff" that synergize with the rest of the deck:

With so much Thwarting ability, I like Specialized Training for Combat Specialist.

Jun 17, 2025 SoloMarvelChampion · 4205 `@boomguy` thanks! I was building a Leadership Cap deck at work this morning so I already had Shield Block and Captain America's Helmet on my brain when I saw your challenge and knew they'd work well with Great Responsibility!
Jun 17, 2025 SortofBoard · 112 This is a really clever combo. Since I’ve only ever used Shield Block against attacks I’ve never considered using it for things that aren’t attacks. Great idea.
Jun 18, 2025 SoloMarvelChampion · 4205 `@SortofBoard` I assumed Shield Block was "damage from an attack" but was happy to realize that it was any damage LOL
Jun 18, 2025 Castlefrank47 · 3574 `@SoloMarvelChampion` love the combo of great responsibility and shield block, great stuff!
Jun 19, 2025 SoloMarvelChampion · 4205 `@Castlefrank47` thanks! I feel like it's a super rare combo though. What are the odds of having both in hand when the villain reveals Advance (or similar)? I really need to be running Invisibility Gear to "force" it like you do in your Ham deck!
