See Hawkeye Increase Enemy Losses Directly

Clint Barton has finally decided to join SHIELD full-time. Partly to make it easier to surround himself with some of his friends, but mostly to make it easier to get his hands on Bambino.

While I've listed this deck as multiplayer only, which is where I have tested it. You could run it solo, but it is very light in defense and thwarting, so you will need to play it as a rush deck if you try to do so. However, backed up by a good protection deck that can help Hawkeye survive, this deck lays out a smackdown.

The tricky thing here is that Hawkeye has a lots of things he wants to get into play, so nearly every hand involves making some tough decisions. First you want Hawkeye's Bow, natch, then S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy is great to get into play early. Other great early plays are: Hawkeye's Quiver, Combat Training, Bambino, Expert Marksman, as well as Helicarrier and/or Team-Building Exercise. You're not going to get all of them early, so you'll always be building while playing.

Some tricks this deck has up it's sleeve:

Aggressive Stance/Spoiling for a Fight combo: Have Hawkeye attack or ready his bow, then play this pop out a minion, but have a ready Hawkeye and a fresh Electric, Sonic or Vibranium arrow to deal with them.

Directed Force and Sharpshooter: Both of these are able to boost attack arrow damage as well as further boosting the damage of Bambino when used by Hawkeye.

Team-Building Exercise can be used to reduce the cost of any of your allies once you have S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy in play.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Captain America: Can ready Hawkeye allowing you to pump out more big hits or arrows.

Winter Soldier, Thor, and Spider-Girl: all have anti-minion abilities baked in to help manage any that are brought out by Spoiling for a Fight.

Bambino hits hard!: ATK 2 + 1(Bow) +1(Combat Training) + 3(Bambino) + 2 (Directed Force) + 1-2(Sharpshooter) = 10-11 Max damage with Ranged and Overkill. I haven't hit the max in play, but pretty routinely get 8-9 damage.

Pretty much every win I've had has had Hawkeye dancing around 3 or less Hp at the end of the game, even with a friend helping it's easy to find yourself in HP trouble, but this deck makes for some fun, tense games.
