With this deck, you aim to disrupt the enemy’s hand with Elektra, Iceman, Yondu, and Scorpion. But simultaneously, you want to buff these cards—along with other one-Costs—using the Ka-Zar, Blue Marvel, and Onslaught combo.
How to Play Elektra
Elektra is a risk-free disruptive card. She works best against one-Cost buff decks, such as those that rely on Kitty Pryde. You must play her when the opponent is too reliant on cheap cards in one lane because this guarantees her effect to trigger.
Before dropping Elektra, keep these in mind:
- The initiative can ruin her effect. If your Elektra is revealed before the opponent’s one-Cost—and there are no other targets in the lane—her destruction won’t happen.
- Elektra can be bounced. Using Falcon or Beast, you can return her to the hand and aim for multiple attacks.
- She can backfire. Targeting destroy-benefiting cards like Nova or Deadpool with Elektra will boost the enemy’s Power.
How to Counter Elektra
Being an On Reveal, Elektra can be stopped with Cosmo. However, she’s a one-Cost drop that often hits the board early. So, the best counterstrategy against her is either predicting and skipping her lane or starting the deck with destroy-benefiting cards like Nova. Also, if your opponent plans to bounce her back, Killmonger is an excellent option to eliminate her in advance.
