How to Play Blue Marvel
When playing Blue Marvel, players shouldprioritize getting as many cards on the board as possible. That is because Blue Marvel’sOngoing effectworks across the board, targeting all played cards up until that point. Additionally, players must try to duplicate Blue Marvel’s ability (when possible) using cards like Onslaught.
In the current lineup, the goal is todrop one-Cost cards(Ant-Man, Forge, Squirrel Girl, Sunspot, and Nightcrawler), buff them with Ka-Zar, and maximize their Power with an ultimateBlue Marvel and Onslaught combo.
She-Hulk and Sunspot are passive Power-gainers. Sunspot will use unspent Energy points to get extra Power, whileShe-Hulk will utilize them to reduce her Cost. (Since there are five one-Cost characters in the deck, players are likely to save a few Energy points each round.)
How to Counter Blue Marvel
Countering Blue Marvel is possible by playinganti-Ongoing cards like Enchantress.She can stop all Ongoing effects in her locations, effectively debuffing cards that have been boosted by Blue Marvel. However, players can also use Shadow King andShag-Chi against most Blue Marvel decks.
