When I first saw Digging Deep, I knew I wanted to make an Iron Man deck with it, since Futurist and Repulsor Blast can trigger it. This isn't going to be the most world-beating Digging Deep deck out there, but Iron Man remains one of my top 3 favorite heroes.

This is also inspired by the LOTR LCG dwarf mining archetype, hence the name, which also fits in with the idea of "iron" man haha.

You still need to do your usual Iron Man setup routine. I like to play Iron Man flipping a lot, because I've always loved using Futurist. So here, you can get extra value from it thanks to Digging Deep. Also, there's White Fox, who can enter play from being discarded. You've also got three copies of Plasma Pistol, which is normally a card I never play, to help you get setup with Tech upgrades.

In hero form, you're focused on all those Energy resources. The three Plasma Pistols are in because they help set up, and they're energy resources for when you're just Repulsor Blasting. But, there are other things to do as well, like get Captain Marvel into play to discard more cards, and since you have a lot of energy resources, she's likely to hit some damage, and hopefully grab more Digging Deep.

Others have already pointed out the great Call for Aid combo with Digging Deep, especially if you don't have any Avengers in your deck, but I want to get to Captain Marvel, but also Kaluu can help grab your Repulsor Blasts. The other allies are just energy resources, but you can play the off-traited ones like Gamora and #SP//dr with Make the Call. Gamora will also help discard cards to get DD, and your Repulsor Blasts. Throw in the energy resources of Command Team to keep the actions rolling.

Here is a game of Expert Morlock Siege.

A lot of really clever ideas in here. Love Captain Marvel. Digging Deep for life.

Digging deep is probably my new favorite card, tbh.

Gotta sneak Call for Backup in there to help get Captain Marvel and Gamora in for cheap! Love this idea of Iron Man w/ Digging Deep and White Fox. He has so many ways to hit it, and you added even more! Awesome.

Love the Captain Marvel synergy! Gamora in a White Fox + Digging Deep deck is where it is at

Nice deck! I would consider putting 3 Reinforced Suit instead of plasma pistols to give survivability to the allies since they are cheaper techs. And maybe find a slot for Sunspot, I find it awesome in a deck rich of energy resources.

@Capitan Viterbo thanks! You don't want the allies to have survivability, they should be cycling in and out, and Plasma Pistol doesn't require first getting an ally in play, so it's a faster setup to get the armor on. Sunspot is a good shout though!

@Tano Games I understand your point. Always happy to sharing ideas!

I really like this deck. It was so much fun playing with it. I just finished a Mister Sinister game on Expert with 30 damage overkill. This deck currently is in my top 5 fun decks! I didnt really play SP//dr, I think I would change it for a Call for Backup next time.
