I had this idea somewhere in mind for quiet a long time and here is a first rough build. I only have cards from MOR, DOR, DGL, DSM, MAV, MXM, MSM, MMK, DLS, DJL and MTU so don't expect too much. I'm especially bad equipped with Rares...

1-drops
3x Tommy, Runaway
2xSpeedball, Robert Baldwin
1x Rocket Racer, Robert Farrell

2-drops
4xBlack Cat, Nine Lives
2xDusk, Cassie St.Commons
1xNight Thrasher, Dwayne Michael Taylor
1xPostman, Memory Thief

3-drops
2xHealer, Life Giver
3xToxin, Patrick Mulligan
2xRicochet, Johnny Gallo

4-drops
1xSpider-Man, Peter Parker
4xStorm, Leader of the Morlocks

5-drops
1xDark Beast, McCoy
4xMarrow, Gene Nation

6-drops
3xCallisto, Morlock Queen

PTs
4xMorlock Justice
1xBacks Against the Wall
4xLast Stand
4xBloodhound
3xShrapnel Blast

Locations
4xStark Tower, Team Up
2xThe Alley
2xSewer System

Equipment
2xEgo Gem

[edited after Vader's help]



The Plan is to have a lot(at least three) cheap characters to stick around till heavy hitters like Marrow or later Callisto hit the opponent with Morlock Justices. I decided to play def pumps over Team Spirit to make sure that the important big character(s) survive, because of the ability to still attack afterwards. I'm not sure if i should cut Spider Senses for more Last Stand and Shrapnel Blast, because Spider Senses can save your life in every situation... Even if i probably won't have the cards, that you would play, please let me know, what do you think is a good build for MWS.

Finally, excuse my bad english... [blush]

first black cat should be a four of, her ability to filter is to good not to maximize.

second back agaist the wall or last stand is better than spidy sense .

if you have access to Empire state university that is another four of, if you don't have access to those i would suggest ego gem.

bums rush is a great card for this deck .
i would cut out the 4 drop spidys, storm is a must for this deck not only does her ability save you endurence but it also give surounding character the morlock affilation in case you miss your team up.

cut the hill for sewer system, very good card

as to your english its pretty good and way better than most of us do with a second or third language.

Oh yes... i would love to have Empire State University... but i don't. :-(
Ego Gem of course... my fault, they are sitting in another deck right now, but yes I'll change that.

You're right about Black Cat probably too, added 2.
Maybe our "metagame"(we are three players here) is kind of unusual, but most decks have a lot of KO-effects. Because of that I over-evaluate(can i say that in english?) Spider-Man maybe, but i think i'll keep one copy in the deck.

I think bum's rush is inferior to Shrapnel Blast... simply no more room for it.

I like The Hill a lot, pump+card draw... but both effects aren't THAT strong.
So here we go with Sewer System.

I have only one copy of Backs against the Wall... But the 4th Last Stand is in.

Thanks for your help, I'm not very familiar with building decks, because most of the time i play with lend decks(because of my small card pool).

Sewer system is good but he needs all the draw he can get and the +1/+1 isn't shabby either.

I second the inclusion of an ego gem, Empire State - good if you got it, MSM - ESU Science Lab possibly but you're starting to push a lot into your row.

I might diversify my 1 drops a little more since you might need one to off-drop and it would suck if it was the same one you had in play already.

As i said, i like The Hill a lot, but i think Vader is right here with Sewer System.

ESU Science Lab is probably the price i pay to play a team-up. Or do you see any room for it?

I really want to have a Tommy, because he'll be free in (nearly) every situation. Which other characters do you think of? Electric Eve? Artie? Speedball? Maybe Electric Eve as a one of, but the others aren't strong enough in my opinion.

tommy is definatly the best one drop because of his alternate cost but speed ball is great because you can use him in a team attack then evade him and name the other attacker as the one that can't be stunned. then speedball comes back. so for one endurence you potenially can gain a board advantage. also if you have more healers i would go with at least one more of him over toxin

Well... didn't think about that tech. I like it a lot. Speedball is in!

I wanted to play 3 Healers, but i have only 2 and i really don't know why. The guy is common! [meh]

If you can, try and get the Mind Gem from MHG. That would help quite a bit.

Even if i would have Mind Gems, they aren't better than the Ego Gems. The Exhaustion is for a character, who just wants to evade afterwards, irrelevant and draw seems better than just filtering or am i just stupid right now?

no it just depend on the situation in this one i think ego is better.

and when using healer make sure you put his recover last on the chain so he recovers first the extra endurence he can generate is helpful

If you can get the Empire State University, Mind Gem becomes better.

*Recruit Black Cat
*Drop Mind Gem to draw and Discard
*Tap Black Cat to Empire State University to look at the top two cards and keep one
*Evade Black Cat to bounce the Mind Gem to hand (for next turn) and draw/discard again

Total for the turn: You've drawn 5 and pitched 2.

If you don't have Empire State University, then Ego Gem is better because Black Cat won't be exhausting to Empire State University anyway.

*Drop Black Cat
*Equip with Ego Gem
*Wait 'til the combat phase and draw one with Ego Gem
*Evade Black Cat to bounce the Ego Gem to hand (for next turn) and draw/discard again.

Total for the turn: You've drawn 4 and pitched 1.

Completely personal preference. With Mind Gem/Empire State University, you'll be going through your deck much faster, but it's a 3-card combo instead of just the 2 needed for the Ego Gem route. Some people really like that everything in the Mind Gem route can be done pre-combat phase, whereas Ego makes you wait 'til combat, which could mean you've missed a drop that you might have cycled into already with the Mind Gem route.

Did any of that make sense?

Nobody's mentioned New Baxter Building, which gives me a sad face.

I do have ESU, but i don't have Mind Gems.

"Tommy is a girl".... *looking at the picture* Wooow, you're right. :-D

@Scott
That was a pretty nice explanation. Sad but true that i don't have the choice without some Mind Gems and i fear i will never have.
