So. Since they announced the Illuminati I have been dying to try a Black Bolt deck, legend or no.

The Enemy Within is without a doubt my favourite Black Bolt.

I have been looking at him today, and have tried to build a deck. Though I am not sure how it will work … yet.

My plan is to play the Superhuman Registration Act and as many one drops as I can. Though my plans were somewhat thwarted when I re-read ‘I Got ‘Em All’ all the way through the planning stages I was planning on using this to ready him.

Now, I could adjust my deck to run plenty of 2’s as well. But that would make him smaller, as I wouldnt be able to play as many characters as I wanted.

Or i could go with sleeper cells. I have only built the rough list for the Sleeper Cells variant. It is a few cards over, and at the moment I am drawing a blank as to where the 3 extra cards are.

Black Bolt, The Enemy Within:

4x Black Bolt, The Enemy Within 1x Professor X, Mutant Benefactor 1x Klaw, Sonic Construct 1x Wild Child, Age of Apocalypse 1x Shadowcat, Phase Shifter 1x Elongated Man, Stretchable Sleuth 1x Doppelganger, Killer Clone 1x Winslow Schott <> Toyman, Child’s Play 1x White Lotus, Supermen of America 1x Toad, Court Jester 1x Mad Hatter, Mad as a Hatter 1x Lockjaw, Inhuman’s Best Friend 1x Jazmin Cullen <> Kid Quantum, Hero of Xanthu 1x Jacob Lee, Knight 1x Iron Fist, Secret Avenger 1x Howard the Duck, Master of Quack-Fu 1x Dum-Dum Dugan, Howling Commando 1x Duela Dent <> Harlequin, The Joker’s Daughter 1x Dream Girl, Nura Nal 1x Domino, Neena Thurman 1x Doctor Faustus, Johann Fennhoff * RAID 1x Crippler, Carl Striklan 1x Count Vertigo, Werner Vertigo 1x Cheetah, Feral Feline 1x The Penguin, Gentleman of Crime 1x Terry Sloane <> Mr. Terrific, Golden Age Gold Medalist 1x Mary Marvel, World’s Mightiest Girl 1x Harvey Bullock, Bishop 1x Hank Pym <> Yellowjacket, Initiative Instructor 1x Surveillance Pawn, Army 1x Speedball <> Penance, Painmonger 1x Slyde, Jalome Beacher 4x Superhuman Registration Act, Team-Up 1x Battleworld 4x Great Refuge 3x Birthing Chamber 4x Blind Sided / Savage Beatdown 4x Sleeper Cells 4x Invasion Plans 4x Quantum Bands, Unique

So, mulligan hard for the team-up.

I know there are two very important cards, in the team-up and the quantum bands. But before testing, the way I see it is that with Birthing Chamber/Invasion Plans drawing, I should get the Bands, and with the Superhuman Registration Act helping me to thin my deck as well, I see no reason that I shouldn’t be able to get them.

Now of course, i don’t have all of these cards as of yet. And until I can get the monies together to purchase the remaining cards this will be a casual (heavily proxied) deck only sadly.
