Updated deck: https://marvelsnap.io/deck/infinaut-discard-ft-thanos-163
*Quick edit: The more I look at the deck and play test hands, the weaker I think Crystal is for the deck. Moon Girl is basically the same idea in that you "draw" more cards, but also being able to copy your high power threats is very strong in giving you better discard fodder. Getting extra Infinauts, Apocalypse, and Helas can outright win you the game.
That being said this card slot may still be a flex slot and able to be used on tech cards or even just Wolverine, which may actually be good for the deck. Same goes for Iron Man as he may possibly be over kill. So two possible deck slots to be used on other cards 👍...
This is the standard discard package with The Infinaut included to potentially discard him with Lady Sif on turn 2 and summon him on turn 3 with Ghost Rider. Otherwise just a good 20 power unit to bring back with Hela.
We run most of the standard discard cards, but some were removed to make room for other important cards. Wolverine is cut because while it does give us free stats on discard, it is only 3 power, and Swarm gives us exactly that but with even more discard fodder. Colleen is not run because we aren't looking to discard our low cost units and 5 power is not that much for 3 cost. Blade is okay as a 1 drop, but Hellcow just does his job better. It's like 2 blades in 1. Sword Master is decent, but we prefer the draw that Crystal is able to give us. I do not run Dracula as it is too high risk and we usually want to play/discard our high power units
Iron Man in the 5 card slot as he helps us close out the game. Really good with a buffed up Apocalypse and of course The Infinaut. Should usually be good summoned from Hela.
This deck is very high curve and very combo oriented. You may have to skip some turns just to make sure you get a good discard hand to get value from ghost rider. The deck is also lacking in any sort of flexibility such as movement. So if the locations make it difficult to play we may lose the match by default. Consider removing Crystal for other tech options such as:
Professor X, Scarlet Witch, Rogue, Vision, Magik, or even Red Skull for another big body.
It's very difficult to theorycraft this deck without actually playtesting it. These 12 cards are what seem optimal for me if I were to build it. Please let me know any other cards and variations you think would be good. Would love to discuss this idea with other players. Thank you ❤
