Doctor Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique ability: "After each turn, add a DoomBot 2099 to a random location if you played (exactly) 1 card."

DoomBot 2099 (also 4-cost, 2-power) boasts the ability: "Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power." Crucially, this buff applies to both DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom, synergizing effectively.

The strategy revolves around playing exactly one card per turn after summoning Doom 2099. Early placement maximizes DoomBot 2099 deployment, potentially generating significant power. Combining with cards like Magik further amplifies this potential.

However, two weaknesses exist: random DoomBot 2099 placement can hinder strategic location control, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.

Best Initial Doctor Doom 2099 Decks

The one-card-per-turn requirement revives Spectrum-based Ongoing decks. Consider this budget-friendly option:

Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught. [Untapped List Link]

This deck offers flexibility. Early Doom 2099 placement, facilitated by Psylocke or Electro, maximizes power spread. Alternatively, focus on Doctor Doom placement or Spectrum buffs if early Doom 2099 deployment fails. Cosmo counters Enchantress, protecting key cards.

Alternatively, explore Patriot-style decks incorporating Doom 2099:

Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum. [Untapped List Link]

This budget-friendly deck leverages Patriot's synergy. Early game focuses on Mister Sinister and Brood, transitioning to Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, or Spectrum. Zabu mitigates the cost of 4-cost cards. Flexibility allows for strategic deviations from the one-card-per-turn rule if advantageous. Super Skrull counters opposing Doom 2099 decks. Enchantress remains a significant threat.

Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are comparatively weak, Doom 2099's power and deck-building affordability make him a worthwhile acquisition. Prioritize Collector's Tokens if available, but securing Doom 2099 this month is highly recommended; his impact on the meta is predicted to be substantial, barring nerfs.
