Hope Summers Deck Synergies

How to Play Hope Summers

You should use Hope Summers as a mid-game ramp card. On turn three, she hits the board, granting you a chance to farm extra Energy points. Exploit this opportunity to drop big cards like Magneto early, spreading cheap Power.

Note that you must avoid clogging Hope’s lane; otherwise, she will stop granting Energy. Go with moveable cards like Vision, Nightcrawler, Jeff, and Kitty Pryde that can trigger her effect multiple times without staying in her lane.

The Best Combo for Hope Summers:

An ideal scenario is utilizing Hope to drop Magneto on turn five after playing Shuri and then copy his doubled Power with Taskmaster on turn six—all while She-Hulk’s Cost has been discounted to one or zero, so you have two deadly win conditions for the last round.

How to Counter Hope Summers

Your main strategy for fighting Hope Summers should be clogging her lane—as soon as possible. Note that her effect is triggered every time the opponent plays to her location. So, you must block the other three spots around her so your enemy gets no extra Energy points.

The ideal counter options are Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, and Doctor Octopus. Alternatively, you can also disrupt the opponent’s plan with Spider-Man or Stegron. These two cards move the enemy’s trigger cards, stopping Hope’s effect.
