Playstyle: Team attack to the max!

Card choice explanations:

Triad, Luornu Durgo > 3 Characters in one card, which helps supplement your other characters with a buddy to team-attack with. Also carries around cosmic counters.

Jazmin Cullen <> Kid Quantum
Rick Jones, A Hero's Best Friend

Free 1-drops, again to aid in team attacks. Rick can reinforce, and Jazmin can surge out cosmic counters also.

Hank Pym <> Ant Man, Dimunitive Hero > extra 1-drop

Element Lad, Jan Arrah > semi-reusable combat pump, especially with all the off-curve attacks you'll be doing. And a 2-drop with flight, never a bad thing.

Natasha Romanoff <> Black Widow, Super Spy > One of the best team-attackers in the game.

Wasp, Janet Van Dyne-Pym
Iron Fist <> Daredevil, Imposter - Secret Avenger
Spider-man, New New Avenger
Apparition, Tinya Wazzo
Sensor, Jeka Wynzorr
Matter-Eater Lad, Tenzil Kem

Plus an assortment of 2-drops with situational abilities. The Avengers were chosen mainly for stats except for Wasp, who has a great leader ability. The Legionnaires all have Cosmic-Surge, to fuel Element Lad or whoever's cosmic ability is the most useful during the game.

Captain America, Steve Rogers > Acts as pseudo-teamup 5-8, plus gives an attack pump. The stats are not bad, either.

Karate Kid, Val Armorr
XS, Jenni Ognats

These 3-drops were chosen to help swing the boardstate. Karate Kid dodges stuns, and XS attacks twice.

Carol Danvers <> Warbird, Galactic Adventurer > Again, one of the best team-attackers in the game.

Iron Man, Mighty Avenger
Connor Kent <> Superboy, Inspiration to the Legion

More team attack goodness. Connor Kent also has Substitute during those games where you draw multiple copies of Warbird.

Playroom
Legion World

What makes the deck tick, IMO. Makes those team attacks hurt!

Foiled Assassination

Best used with the free 1-drops to recover characters. Boardwipes will be a little harder to do against you.

Past, Present and Future, Team-up

Card-draw team-up.

Legendary Battles

A mass-pump and Bamf! at the same time. Fairly self-explanatory.

Call to Arms

De-facto attack pump for team-up decks.

Some tips!

If you have either one of the locations, try to get in at least one team-attack per turn. With both locations out, things start to hurt real quick.

Against most decks, you should (in theory) be able to dominate the early game with Black Widow and Warbird.

Against other off-curve decks, you can glean additional advantage via Foiled Assassinations.
