I don't think this is a very good combo at all, since the additional attacks you are getting out of him from the Medical Team don't get the +1 DMG or the stun.
Dr. Strange is here!
Yeah Iron Fist needs to remove a token from his card to Stun (and he only gets two of those). He works like Hawkeye. So right now we have no way to add more tokens to an ally. You need to kill him off and then play him again to reset him, which in protection is not their strength. If Iron Fist was in Leadership he'd be bonkers.
I'm guessing he gets two tokens because he has two fists
Still a really great ally IMO, and I'm glad since I always was an Iron Fist fan in the comics. I'm excited for future Protection deck builds.

Maybe it's already been stated but I love that Iron Fist and Power Man
::oops!:: I mean, Luke Cage are both Protection. Heroes for Hire without the trait!
I hope we get Misty Knight and Colleen Wing in Protection as well. I'd be all in on Protection if that was the case.
Iron Fist makes stun lock Captain America protection bonkers!

Yup. Just recently made a Captain America protection deck myself. Heroic Strike’s and Tackle’s made it difficult for the villain to attack. Iron Fist will be an auto include. That’s 8 stuns with 3 or 6 damage included.

Whoops, I skimmed too hard. Thanks

Plus mocking bird 🥳
That's a really strong deck. It was the second deck I tried to make after experimenting with his stock Leadership/Avengers deck. I have a hard time moving away from it now when playing Captain America. It's fun to play. Iron Fist is gonna be crazy in that deck.
Edited by phillosStun and Confuse are pretty powerful and even more so in true solo. I hope the devs recognise this (along with keeping a close eye on Allies in general). I think Stun and Confuse effects need to be very sparse and/or come with greater set up or cost.

Good thing you can Make The Call from friends’ discard piles.

Yup! Makes me want to try a Leadership deck that doesn’t actually spam Leadership allies, but rather focuses on pulling and buffing friends’ Allies. Would obviously work best in 4-player, and will be more interesting the more Aspect Allies we get. Probably best with Black Panther or Captain Marvel, but I’ll likely try Iron Man since he’s got Pepper and Stark Tower to help pay for things (the main issue with this deck being that you don’t get to combo Power of Leadership with Make the Call as well).

Cap's alter ego reduction once per turn plus his super soldier serums could come in pretty handy if you ran him instead.
Edited by MajushiI paired Spider-Man Justice with Cap protection, so much stun and confusion!
Did anybody else notice the wording on the Master of the Mystic Arts event?
"Pay the printed cost of the top card of the Invocation deck."
What I'm taking from this is that you don't have to exhaust Dr. Strange to trigger the Invocation the first time, making it possible for you to trigger it again immediately afterward.
I am so excited for this deck.

Yes, that’s the purpose of this card - pay 1 extra to use the top Invocation without using his ability.
Bingobango!!

2 extra, if you count the card itself.

1 if you already have Enhanced Reflexes or Enhance Awareness out since they already covered their own cost.
His 15 cards have been fully spoiled - he looks busted. He basically has
a better Arc Reactor, a better Enhanced Spider Senses and a better attack card.
But to be fair, I think we've seen a lot of FFG games start out like this, whereby the initial core/releases are lower in power than some subsequent releases; they're sometimes a bit conservative with their early designs.
It happened with X-Wing and Imperial Assault.
So there's a difference between 'power creep' - i.e power levels of releases regularly surpassing predecessors and 'power that has crept' - i.e power levels of later releases settling onto the intended power level and stabilising

I don't have a link. There's a PDF floating around on the Facebook group and Discord.
