My "Ideal" Marvel War of Heroes Deck


THIS is the deck I personally aspire to use, eventually. Fully maxed and mastered properly for maximum hit, as well as AT LEAST level 5 abilities for each. As you can see, its mainly a Bruiser deck, with Nick Fury tossed into the mix mainly for his ability, and his high Attack when properly boosted and mastered.

I personally love the ability of the new invitation reward card, Jean Grey. Remarkably degrading ATK and DEF of ALL opponents cards? Plus, when fully boosted and mastered (and I mean at each tier) she packs a mean punch. I'm currently building mine up, and trust me, its takes ALOT of time to fully master each and every card. Just think, you are technically maxing and mastering 7 cards, as you have to master and max each of the 4 Rare cards, then fuse to make your SR, which you then have to fully max and master, then fuse that with a Rare, making your SSR, which you have to fully max and master, and then finally one last fusion, making your UR card, which you once again must fully max and master. Like I said, ALOT of time. But worth it, in the end. 

Thor and Cyclops are in there because of their abilities and high ATK. Both boost the ATK of Bruiser cards, which works well seeing as this deck runs 4 of them. 

And that bring us to the villian of the deck, Ultron. While the other 4 cards were easy to pick out, this one I had to debate. I ran thru a few other Bruiser cards, but the majority of the ones whose ATK stacked up with the rest of the deck have abilities that only help themselves, or ones that target DEF of certain types of cards. With Ultron, you have the ability to Remarkably degrade the ATK and DEF of all opponents cards, just like Jean Grey. With a high enough ability level on both cards, they would decimate the DEF of a deck. 

All in all, for a Bruiser fan like me, this is THE deck, well in my opinion at least. And since this is my blog, I suppose thats the important opinion, right? ;)

UPDATE 12/25

I was asked what my ideal DEF deck would be.... so here it is:


I wont go thru the details as to WHY this is my ideal DEF deck. I figure thats rather obvious. lol.

Also, to update the ATK deck, Fury would be replaced by Juggernaut, and Jean, much as I love her and her ability, would be replaced by [Adamantium Claws] Wolverine+ because his maxed out ATK, plus the bonus his ability gives him packs more of a punch than Jean, even with her ability. Plus seeing as I already have Ultron, theres no need for 2 cards that degrade defense.

Marvel: War of Heroes All Heroes Wishlist

I told you it would more than likely be sooner rather than later before I came with an all heroes wishlist. This time around, I've focused mainly on female characters, with a few males thrown in just because I realized they have been omitted by me thus far:

Beta-Ray Bill

Diamondback

Aurora

Banshee

Blink

Dazzler

Jubilee

Longshot

Pixie


Marvel: War of Heroes All Villian Wishlist

I keep looking around the Marvel universe, and keep coming up with new characters that could be utilized in the game rather than the same ol sames. Add that to the utter boredom of my weekends, and you get yet ANOTHER wishlist installment.

This time around, I've focused solely on villians, cuz you can never have enough of those.

Carnage

Tombstone

Chameleon

Scorpion

Electro

Hobgoblin

Mr Sinister

Mysterio

Deathlok

Next time around, and that will probably be soon, I'll do an all Heroes list.

More wish list cards for Marvel: War of Heroes

I had a few suggestions for some other characters that would be cool to see in game, so here they are, by request:

Warpath

Shatterstar

Cable
And also, I took an idea I saw in another TGC, Deity Wars, and created these 2 cards:

Cloak

Dagger

And make them unique in the game, least for now, and allow the 2 cards to fuse with one another to create a 1st time Dual Card:

Cloak and Dagger
Again, I wont speculate on attack or defense or abilities. Just a few ideas I had.

UPDATE 12/15: 

A few more ideas I had:

Multiple Man

Sasquatch

Strong Guy

Guardian

Northstar

Captain Britain

Wolfsbane

UPDATE 12/18

Here are a few more requested cards:

Adam Warlock

Bishop

Rachel Summers

Rictor

Typhoid Mary

My thoughts on the new X-Men Event in WoH



Ok, so Marvel: War of Heroes started a new event, X-Men. Basic overview, you do new side quests, and randomly (and by randomly I mean 3 outta 5 times) a "boss" will show up, either Juggernaut or Magneto, at varying levels, which you have to battle. You can call for support from team members. You win varying amounts of Iso-8 shards, green and/or red, that can be traded in for various prizes like silver, rally points, energy packs, and even a few new cards.

1st, I'll talk about the quests themselves. Same base principle as normal quests. You start off level 1, costing 1 energy, giving 1 xp, and 20-30 silver. Nothing overly exciting. You tend to run into bosses nearly every time you do a mission, which is fine in the early stages, seeing as you recieve alot of the personal packs to restore your Atk via beating bosses and trading in green iso-8 shards, plus by reaching various raid ranks. All in all, in the beginning, its fairly decent, and simple goings. Once you finish with the raid ranking rewards though, it tends to get alot harder. Unless you already have loads of personal power packs saved up, you'll be hard pressed to keep up with the number of bosses that will pop up, not to mention the support requests from your team mates. You may find yourself failing more than a few of these boss battles due to a lack of attack power to fight with. Especially when you get to the level 200+ Magneto, who you'll need to attack, even with a deck filled full of maxed raider cards like mine, at least 5 or 6 times in the 1 hour time limit. Without help, or loads of personal power packs, this proves to be impossible.

On to the iso-8 shard trade in. In the last event, you were able to trade in 3 shards for cards, and I personally won my [Optics Captain] Cyclops that I now use in my Attack deck, as well as a few other Rare cards that I've either put to use or been able to trade off for cards I needed/wanted. This time around, they've gone back to the 10 shard per trade in that we had during the Avengers event. But this time, they have changed it so that you no longer receive random cards, instead its a random assortment of other things. For green iso-8 shards, you can get silver, power kits (gives you half your att/def power back), rally points, [Level Up] Iso-8 cards, and Vibrainium cards. For Red, the same, plus Power Packs and Energy Packs. The only real cards you have a shot at winning come from the red iso-8 shards, and those are the [Wind-Rider] Storm and the [Psychic Katana] Psylocke.



Now, I've personally traded in THOUSANDS of red shards, and to date, have pulled only 1 Storm card. Now, on the flip side, I have also gotten thousands upon thousands of rally points, and have in turn traded those in for rally packs and pulled quite a few decent rares (some that I have, but know I can trade).
Ive also made hundreds of thousands worth of coin via pulling coin from the isos, selling Vibrainium, and selling off the commons that I got from rally packs, which I have been able to use to max out a few of my cards where I was unable to up til now due to a lack of silver. So while I may not be gaining new cards to improve my deck, I HAVE improved my deck via boosting/fusing, so I'm rather 50/50 on my thoughts on the whole iso trade in.

As a whole, I will say this event FAR outshines the previous event, by leaps and bounds. But personally I think it may not live up to the Avengers event status, though I do like the prizes this time around (the ranking awards that will be given out after the event ends) Im really hoping to keep on the pace Im on and end up with 2 of the Juggernauts.
