Deck Style and Goal:
A curve-swarm KO deck.

Oxymoron?  I think not.  Secret Six and Masters of Evil both can cheat characters into play.  Keep your curve while cheating in below curve characters to build an overwhelming board presence.  Selectively team attack their board and KO their highest drops, while keeping your board mostly, if not completely, intact each turn.  Don’t be surprised to find yourself with 8 and in some cases 10+ characters on your board on turn 6.

 Playstyle:
 Like many Master of Evils decks, this deck likes to swarm your pponent with lots of low cost characters. The addition of Secret
Six, though, allows you to hit your curve every turn while cheating in lots of low cost characters and then keeping them around.

 Mad Hatter, Deadshot, Parademon, and the host of the 14 1 and 2 drops the deck boasts can all be cheated into play.  Be sure to fill your KO’d pile with the low cost drops to be brought out with Hard Sound Construct and fuel Ultron’s return to the field.

 The deck prefers evens and ideally you should be able to stun out your opponent’s board against a standard curve deck each turn via team attacks.  A selective KO of their high drop forces them to recover a lower cost character.  Drop a Cover Fire on your opponent’s initiative and watch their best laid plans crash and burn as their largest drop struggles to stun everything except your smallest characters as most of the mass of characters your board presence boasts are ranged.  Steal the initiative and stun out as much of their board as you can and KO the larger drops.  Rinse and repeat until you can attack them directly for the win.
