Strategy and General Tips

This location clearly supports movement scaling cards. The way it is worded, this is a one time effect, so only our very first card at the location gets the buff. As we should be aware of the location by Turn 3, the location should always be available for cards like Dagger and Vulture.

Variants

Dagger

When this moves to a location, +2 Power for each card your opponent has there.

Collection Level 486+ (Pool 3)

Variants

Vulture

When this card moves, +5 Power.

It is not without it’s downsides, but these are more likely to be an issue outside of the Featured Location period. Once the effect is used, its done – we can’t hold too long in any deck looking to play on curve as you may fill other locations and not get enough power onto this location by the end of the game.

Additionally, if you leave the effect for too long it may be active on Turn 6, causing more problems for yourself than your opponent. This problem is similar to when Vormir not activated. If you’re relying on playing a 6 drop to the location without the activation, your card will move away from the location.

Variants

Professor X

Ongoing: Lock down this location. (Cards can’t be added, removed, etc.)

Collection Level 18-214 (Pool 1)

Countering the location highlights one of the strongest decks right now, with High Evolutionary Lockdown being the strategy most likely to frustrate. Also running some decks with Miles Morales may be better than usual as we have another consistent way to activate Miles Morales.

Variants

Miles Morales

If a card moved last turn, this costs 1.

Basic movement decks get the buff from being able to send Vulture or Dagger moving multiple times with the location. The location allows for the more all in strategy to have the chance to shine more than usual and for the true fans this is the only direction to consider. Based on this, we can expect much more move decks than usual so Lockdown Control decks may be the stronger direction.

The quickly becoming standard approach to High Evolutionary Lockdown will be even stronger with the location. This is because you can lockdown lanes and potentially turn of Aunt May's. You might worry about not getting value from the location, playing any card on Turn 3 into Aunt May's should be value enough for this version.

For those without High Evolutionary, we can still build complete control decks without the package. This one relies on playing Kitty Pryde early and often to create a valuable 1 drop you can play on 6 with Gamora. Professor X and Spider-Man lock for Turn 5 lane win on top. Aim to lock where you can guarantee a play on a weak lane that Gamora and Kitty Pryde can win.

This deck looks to take advantage of the newly adjusted Dazzler alongside the 3 cost Move Package. We can aim to fill two lanes making Dazzler 3 energy for 6 power we can develop on turn 3. We also can take advantage of Miles Morales as potentially our 1 drop on turn 4 alongside another 3 drop due to the increased consistency from the location.

This Sera version is trying to pick up counterable cards before Turn 6 and replay them to win. Buffed Vulture and Human Torch replayed on 6 with move effects can reach high numbers normally. Beast and Sera enable this. We can activate the cards, pick them back up with Beast and play Sera, reducing these to either 0 or 1 to be replayed. If you can move them into a lane where we also pick up the Ghost-Spider or Iron Fist, we can then activate the effects again on the final turn. This is going for pure power and aiming to have as many cards as possible cost 1 on turn 6.

For series 2, it has to be Multiple Man movement. This decks get a boost from the location and can be strong with lesser collections. Nothing special to note here. Try to hit Multiple Man on the location and if you can follow up with Hulkbuster shenanigans.
