Strategy and General Tips

On the surface, it may appear the plan here is to swarm the location and gain the advantage. In practice though, you are always better off playing the bigger cards here and supporting them on other locations. +3 power is a surprising amount and swinging Baxter Building late game can lead to a lot of +4 and +8 Cube games.

Variants

Sunspot

At the end of each turn, gain +1 Power for each unspent Energy.

Variants

Nebula

Each turn your opponent doesn’t play a card here, +2 Power. (except the turn you play this)

Series 5 Ultra Rare – Collection Level 486+ (Pool 5)

Cards like Sunspot and Nebula are good early cards to play in your deck and gain advantages from the potential scaling. These cards will demand an answer from your opponent and you can transition to dropping some big cards on the location later in the game such as Devil Dinosaur to win the lane.

Variants

Rocket Raccoon

On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +2 Power.

As a location we can reasonably expect plays into later in the game, we can also play the Guardians of the Galaxy cards (such as Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord) later in the game to flood the location and try to win with efficient additional power.

Variants

Storm

On Reveal: Flood this location. Next turn is the last turn cards can be played here.

Variants

Scarlet Witch

On Reveal: Replace this location with a random new one.

Collection Level 18-214 (Pool 1)

This is a location which is great into location interaction such as Storm and Scarlet Witch. This is also due to the surprise factor as your opponent may be relying on the +3 power on the other lanes. Carrying one of these cards for this location can surprise your opponent who may believe they have the win due to extra power.

This list aims to use one of the popular and ‘easier’ to access Destroyer builds along side more scaling one drops and the ability to lock a lane with Storm and Professor X. This gives us lots of tools to maximise Nebula and Sunspot whilst locking down lanes whilst having some big power cards to drop on 6 to try and win the Baxter Building.

Leader should be a good Turn 6 play for this location if Baxter Building is being contested. What is a good flexible deck which can complete with the location and destroy the opposing 1 drops which can scale on the location. DeathWave! Nothing super innovative here, just a strong suggestion to play during the location.

Last up in the recommended decks if the king of overpowering locations, Shuri. This deck can easily aim to win Baxter Buiding then divert enough power to another lane to win the game. This location feels like we are doing a reminder tour of archetypes which are consistent and can do consistent things but here we are. Armor and Cosmo defend what we are trying to do and disrupt opposing gameplans and we set up big power we copy with Taskmaster.

This looks to incorporate some of the Guardians to challenge Baxter Building and Storm lanes. Gamora can be a more consistent 5/12 due to the Baxter Building expectations also, allowing for more flexibility on 6 than playing for big 6 cost plays.

Control decks can benefit from known locations, here we sacrifice a little in the raw power stakes too go all in on being annoying. Using cards like Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Juggernaut to lock out the Storm lane or Baxter Building lane as well as Spiderman and Professor X. The entire deck is built to frustrate the opposing plays and win where we want to win the locations. If you want a slightly harder deck to play with potentially higher upside, look no further.
