For newer MC players especially: One thing to keep in mind when deck building is that supports/upgrades are great for thinning out your deck. Once you get them on the table, your next cycle through the deck is smaller so you can draw your better cards faster. For me personally, if I need 2-3 cards to fill out a deck I prefer permanents over events, as I may only have to draw a mediocre upgrade once in a game.
That is an excellent point! Your hero events are so powerful for closing out a game, the faster you draw them the second time around the better. Thank you for sharing! 👍👍
@@GetUpandGame just trying to share some lessons learned to newer players that watch these. When we’re new, we see all these damage cards and throw a bunch of them in a deck, but then never draw our “swinging web kicks” that are the most effective ones.
I loved every single second of this. You have now given me a card pool and a method for making a deck. I will definitely watch all your Marvel Champions videos now
That’s awesome Ragnot, thank you so much for all of your support and kind words recently, and I’m very glad to hear this stuff has been good for you! 😊😊
Thanks!! That’s an awesome idea! I don’t have the time to play out that many games unfortunately, but it never occurred to me to just build the decks for fun and make those videos. Thank you thank you I might try to start doing that!
I’ve always wanted to build decks in the game but I’ve always been the type to just use marvelcbd cause I get overwhelmed with my huge collection and wealth of options. This series of video however has really got me inspired to try building my own and the way you broke down the steps of building a deck and trying to play off your hero cards really helped make the process seem a lot less overwhelming for me! This video is so helpful thank you for making it :)
As someone new to deck building like myself this is super helpful. Really pleased you build for SP/Dr. she is so fun to play. She came with cool cards too that helped Thor and Hulk.
I’m glad to hear it! These 3 videos are definitely the most work I’ve put into anything on the channel so far, and if they’re able to help people get more into the “game before the game” so to speak, I’m very pleased to have been able to help in some way! And speaking of pleased, I genuinely was thrilled when it worked out to be Peni. She’s just such an awesome hero, from the theme to the mechanisms. Definitely near the top for me. And you’re right, those 2 Basic cards are huge for bringing Hulk and Thor closer to everyone else, which is great
So great! This series of videos has completely changed how I prepare for a scenario. I used to simply pick cards I liked without planning around the hero. Now it all makes so much more sense to me. Thank you for all your efforts to share your knowledge and experience with this amazing game! I’ve watched these videos over and over again!
That’s so wonderful to hear! It means a lot to know when these have been helpful for someone so I super appreciate you taking the time to share. And it was a journey of discovery for me as well. Once it sort of clicked for me and I realized the game was built the way it was (mostly through other people pointing it out lol) my mind was blown and it took over my entire gaming world. I’m so happy to have you along with me!!
Well thank you thank you! Glad to hear it was helpful for you! And even though this was supposed to be the last one, I’m putting together a supplemental follow up with some more deck building demos and other content I didn’t have time for in this one. So there’s plenty more where this came from lol
Great sieries you'are doing. I love the break down and hearing your thoughts as you build the deck. I also am a fan of the deck building portion of the game. It's possible that I spend more time deckbuilding and scouring Redit and MCDB than I do actually playing the game 😅
I'm going to try for my first deck this week. I am so appreciative of this channel. I like the speed at which you share as well - some content creators have great ideas but go so fast that it's hard to take it in w/o hitting pause a lot. I also *really* appreciate you not editing out your thought process on these (and other videos). It's so helpful to hear the "why" and not just what you did. Thank you!
Oh awesome!! That’s so exciting! Who are you going to build up? And thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! It’s always so helpful to hear back exactly what I’m hoping people are getting from these so I really appreciate you sharing! 😃
@@GetUpandGame My favorite is Spider Woman so I'm going to work on tweaking her deck out. I'm working through Red Skull and so far, so good. Enjoying all your content!
This was fun! 👍😁 I deck build pretty much the same way. I used to take pictures of my decks before disassembling them. But I found I never went back to look at them. Because I always want to build from my current situation of what I want to play, and what cards I actually own. Plus deck building is so much fun! 🥳 But, like you said, you have to try them out. I still think cards are good, that it turns out I never actually play once I get to the game 🤣
Haha exactly! I so rarely play the same deck more than a couple times because I’m constantly thinking of new ones I want to try! And then new cards are always coming out so you’ve gotta go try those out too 😅. Lol yep. I just played a Storm deck I was all excited about, trying to bounce Nightcrawler every turn and then I never even ended up playing him once!
This was one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen - but then, I build decks in much the same way. Even as a an experienced deck builder, I enjoyed this as you articulated your thought process very well. I always enjoy hearing others’ thoughts on deck synergies. In the spirit of conversation, I’ll offer a counterpoint to including multiple copies of cards you can only play one of. In general, I agree with you but the nature of Champions makes these duplicates “less bad” than in other games. Some portion of every hand will be spent as resources they aren’t dead cards. I would argue that there are cases where the benefit of seeing the card earlier outweighs the risk that the duplicate will be truly unusable or that it could be replaced by a better card. For example: if Drax could run a second copy of Dwi Theet Mastery (but only have one in play), would you?
Oh my gosh I’d run 3 Dwi Theet’s if I could! 🤣And you’re right to say you will always use some cards as resources, though it’s nice to have as many playable options as possible. I definitely think there are a few cards in the general pool that might be worth running extra’s of if they’re crucial to your strategy. Boot Camp and Honed Technique come to mind. Those could easily be one-of’s just to be generally helpful, or you could build the whole deck around them and need to see them as soon as possible to make everything else worthwhile. It could also depend on your card pool. Maybe a second Combat Training is better than putting in some junk red event you aren’t going to play anyways lol So I definitely think there are some situations where it’s worthwhile. That’s a really good point and I’m glad you brought it up!
That’s true! Upgrades like that are a nice way to thin your deck out for the late game to help get the right cards when you need them. Thanks for watching and for the excellent comment! 🙂
Great video! I think you should give the Spider-Man (Pavitr Prabhakar) ally another chance in a Web-Warrior build. He can remove a good chunk of threat when he enters play, block, and draw a card off Web of Life and Destiny. He usually removes 4-5 threat for me when he enters play between his ability and basic activation. He’s not too expensive either. I’ve been a big fan of him, personally.
Thanks! And thanks for the tip, I’ll be sure to give him a try! I don’t think I’ve tried him at all so whatever I said about him was based purely on my impressions of him. Glad to hear he’s better than I expected! I actually rarely seem to play Justice web warriors much at all so that might be a good excuse to build one up!
@@GetUpandGame Sounds like a good reason to build a One Way or Another deck. 😉 I greatly appreciate all your videos. No rush and no pressure from me though. You do what you need to do.
Awesome video. I'M bot great ar deck building; this way of doing it makes a lot of sense. Im currently running SP/Dr through the Sinister Motive villains with the Protection build right now(On Mysterio), but will try your Justice build at some point, maybe on the Sinister Six or VG.
Thanks! Nice! Love Sinister Motives so much! If you do give it a go, for Sinister 6 I might suggest -1 One Way or Another, -1 Clear the Area for + 1 For Justice and +1 Followed. And for Venom Goblin I would probably switch the Clear the Areas for Multitasking
For Justice never gets played at my table now. I used to use it in all justice decks, but there's now so many great 1 cost thwart cards that give you access to the same level of thwarting
Same! Between Clear the Area, Multitasking, Yaw and Roll, and Lay Down the Law, For Justice is kinda boring lol. I hope to see some thwart events in the future with more interesting effects attached to them
@@GetUpandGame I would say I'm a pretty competent deck builder, but I still really enjoyed watching your process and hearing your opinions on some cards. Your process is not too dissimilar to mine, which is nice to see. It felt really nostalgic watching your core and cycle 2 deck builds! Simple times, when one storage box was enough!
I don't have the game yet, probably will be getting it for Christmas and I must say, one of the things that had me nervous was deck building.. I've never played games like these before and while I've seen vids of people playing the precon and doing well (that's a plus for a new player, cause I just want to play it first) I do know that having a better understanding of deck building will make the game more enjoyable overall, especially if I play mostly solo and I don't need to have cards for multi... I don't really have anyone to play with so two handed is a little daunting but I imagine you don't want cards that work well for that, in your solo deck. The first part was really helpful.. I didn't think of helping your character by covering weaknesses... Anyway, thank you and also, unreleated but what sleeves do you prefer? I've looked at the Gamegenic ones on the site and they don't seem cost effective.. looked at the clear matte gamegenic and that's more in line I think... but I've also looked at Titanshield (read its durable but tricky shuffling) Dragonshield and Sleevekings... (the cheapest) If you don't want to answer in comment, maybe you could make a video on sleeves and storage specifically for the game (like the box you have but I've also thought of using binders) Sorry for the ramble, I'm a bit excited to get the game eventually... videos like yours and in the community help alot to grow the game I feel..
Thank you for the very nice comment! That’s so exciting you’ll be jumping into the game soon!! I know you what you mean about deck building being daunting. It certainly can seem intimidating. I’m so thankful this game has done such a good job of making the prebuilt decks perfectly playable to enjoy the game without the added necessity of building from the ground up. And even then, if you just switch out one card at a time with a prebuilt deck that’s a nice way to get your feet wet and make the decks a lot better! So you can really move at your own pace which is so nice :) As for sleeves here at Get Up and Game I’m on a shoestring budget lol so I stick to the cheaper side of things. I like the KMC Perfect Fit sleeves because they’re inexpensive but still get the job done nicely. My friends who don’t mind spending a little more on that kind of stuff love the Dragon Shield Matte sleeves. It would be pretty pricey to sleeve a whole collection that way, so some people just have enough for the decks they are currently playing. And binders is another way to go as well! If you haven’t seen him, my friend Nelson runs a great channel and he did a video about storage you can check out! ua-cam.com/video/WG2T6DlyhGw/v-deo.html Thanks again for watching and I’d be happy to help answer any more questions for you!
@@sedlak87 oh good call. That definitely a way to go with him! I don’t always lean into black cat so I wasn’t thinking of that at the time but certainly you can always add more weight to the mental card with him 👍
Thank you! I just use the KMC Perfect Fit sleeves. They’re actually meant to be used as the inside of a double sleeve, but I’ve found them to be perfectly serviceable by themselves. I’ve been using them for years. They’re not nearly as nice as the Dragon Shields of the world, but they’re way cheaper and feel nicer than penny sleeves
Thank you ❤ You helped me build a great deck for doctor strange. But ther are some heros harder to build around them like scarlet witch. Can you do a video on how to build a deck with them ?
Hey glad to hear it! Well you’re in luck! I have a few more examples that I filmed, but cut out due to trying to keep the video from getting too long. some people have asked me to put those out as well, and one of them happened to be Scarlet Witch! So I’m going to release a sort of “extended version” sometime in the relatively near future so hopefully that’ll help you out with Wanda! In the meantime I’m happy to offer any advice or suggestions if you want to ask anything about building for her 🙂
That would’ve been much smarter! Very good call 👍. I don’t remember how exactly I built the deck at this point but yeah even taking an extra copy of Mansion for the potential card draw would’ve been better than a random Emergency lol
Hahaha I don’t know if it’ll be 2 hours now since I used some of the footage for the video I released, but I am going to do a supplemental release with the rest of the demos as well as a couple other topics I didn’t have time for!
I just get anxiety over breaking up the precon decks. Once you've done that, how do you keep track of your cards and in which hero deck you last left them? Or do you only keep them together as a deck for that one instance of playing the game? But if that's the case, then you have to spend so much time creating decks every time you play and that just draws out the time it takes to set everything up.
I can totally see that. My way of doing things isn’t necessarily for everyone cause yeah I do pretty much build a new deck for each play session. But that usually follows a few days of day dreaming at work lol so I already know what the deck is going to be. Plus, once you do it a lot you start to get better and faster at it. I play it 3 or 4 times and then I’m usually ready to try something new. But to start out with deck building I would just focus on one hero you really like and try to build a deck for them. Start with their precon but make some changes to improve it. Remove the extra copies of cards you don’t need like the 1 Per Player cards and find other cards that might work better for that hero. Play it a fair number of times, maybe through a campaign or just a series of villains, tweaking it along the way. I think that’s a good way to get your feet wet!
@@Saugerdees I really like the Tesseract Games dividers. I have all my cards organized by aspect and then type so it’s pretty fast to find what I’m looking for. But if you don’t want to pay for sleeves there are also lots of files on BoardGameGeek where you can print your own! And then I use the white BCW boxes you can find on Amazon to store all my cards
wait did you just said when you run out of cards on your hero deck you have to give an extra encounter card? I thought you don't have penalties for that. I know that running out of cards on the encounter decks adds a permanent acceleration token on the main scheme. God i have been playing this game wrong :c
@@GetUpandGame Thanks for the video mate! was really helpful as a newcomer to this game. As a general rule of thumb then you only add to your deck "the power of aspect" only if you have eight or more 2+ cost ascpect cards in your deck and never add more than 8 allies in one deck. Is that right? i'm going to write the tips on a text note.
@@hugocruz2439 yep pretty much! If a hero has other built in resource cards like Limitless Strength or Vibranium I might be less inclined to include the Power Of’s. But otherwise 7 2+ cost cards gets one or maybe 2 Power Ofs, and 9 or more definitely gets 2. As you say, just a rule of thumb. Still might adjust a bit here and there And yeah allies are usually 4-6, maybe a little more in leadership or a little less in protection 👍
That’s a term that refers to building up one or maybe a couple of allies with a bunch of upgrades like Inspired and Reinforced Suit. Basically you make an ally super strong and then you use cards to ready it and heal it. Works for very well on allies that have good special abilities like Vision or the Captain Marvel ally from Spider-woman’s hero deck
I misspoke when speaking of Everyday Hero with Peni. She is in fact a civilian, I meant to say it’s less interesting for solo play.
For newer MC players especially: One thing to keep in mind when deck building is that supports/upgrades are great for thinning out your deck. Once you get them on the table, your next cycle through the deck is smaller so you can draw your better cards faster. For me personally, if I need 2-3 cards to fill out a deck I prefer permanents over events, as I may only have to draw a mediocre upgrade once in a game.

Instead of "Emergency" you could take a card with the necessary resource for Black cat, right?
That would’ve been much smarter! Very good call 👍. I don’t remember how exactly I built the deck at this point but yeah even taking an extra copy of Mansion for the potential card draw would’ve been better than a random Emergency lol
So, can we see the 2 hour video anywhere? :)
Hahaha I don’t know if it’ll be 2 hours now since I used some of the footage for the video I released, but I am going to do a supplemental release with the rest of the demos as well as a couple other topics I didn’t have time for!
I just get anxiety over breaking up the precon decks.
Once you've done that, how do you keep track of your cards and in which hero deck you last left them? Or do you only keep them together as a deck for that one instance of playing the game? But if that's the case, then you have to spend so much time creating decks every time you play and that just draws out the time it takes to set everything up.
I can totally see that. My way of doing things isn’t necessarily for everyone cause yeah I do pretty much build a new deck for each play session. But that usually follows a few days of day dreaming at work lol so I already know what the deck is going to be. Plus, once you do it a lot you start to get better and faster at it. I play it 3 or 4 times and then I’m usually ready to try something new.
But to start out with deck building I would just focus on one hero you really like and try to build a deck for them. Start with their precon but make some changes to improve it. Remove the extra copies of cards you don’t need like the 1 Per Player cards and find other cards that might work better for that hero.
Play it a fair number of times, maybe through a campaign or just a series of villains, tweaking it along the way. I think that’s a good way to get your feet wet!
@@GetUpandGame ok, I'm sure I'll get brave enough to try it sometime soon.
What do you use to organise your cards?
@@Saugerdees I really like the Tesseract Games dividers. I have all my cards organized by aspect and then type so it’s pretty fast to find what I’m looking for.
But if you don’t want to pay for sleeves there are also lots of files on BoardGameGeek where you can print your own! And then I use the white BCW boxes you can find on Amazon to store all my cards

Here the dividers I use
@@GetUpandGame I'll look into that, thanks!
45:15 Where did you get those dividers?
Right here! www.tesseractgames.co.uk/card-game-dividers
wait did you just said when you run out of cards on your hero deck you have to give an extra encounter card? I thought you don't have penalties for that. I know that running out of cards on the encounter decks adds a permanent acceleration token on the main scheme. God i have been playing this game wrong :c
Haha yep, every time you have to reshuffle your hero deck you need to deal yourself an extra encounter card for later in the villain phase 😖
@@GetUpandGame oh but then is just once! i thought it was every turn
@@hugocruz2439 oh thankfully not lol. Just once each time you run out 😊
@@GetUpandGame Thanks for the video mate! was really helpful as a newcomer to this game. As a general rule of thumb then you only add to your deck "the power of aspect" only if you have eight or more 2+ cost ascpect cards in your deck and never add more than 8 allies in one deck. Is that right? i'm going to write the tips on a text note.
@@hugocruz2439 yep pretty much! If a hero has other built in resource cards like Limitless Strength or Vibranium I might be less inclined to include the Power Of’s. But otherwise 7 2+ cost cards gets one or maybe 2 Power Ofs, and 9 or more definitely gets 2. As you say, just a rule of thumb. Still might adjust a bit here and there
And yeah allies are usually 4-6, maybe a little more in leadership or a little less in protection 👍
Voltron deck?
What is a Voltron deck?
That’s a term that refers to building up one or maybe a couple of allies with a bunch of upgrades like Inspired and Reinforced Suit. Basically you make an ally super strong and then you use cards to ready it and heal it. Works for very well on allies that have good special abilities like Vision or the Captain Marvel ally from Spider-woman’s hero deck
@@GetUpandGame oh! Thank you I understand now. This is what everyone does with Yondu
@@ragnotgreymane yep! He’s a great target, and Cosmo too
