Absorbing Man

Absorbing Man is a shape-shifting engine that becomes a new artifact, enchantment, or land every turn cycle. Your gameplan centers on copying the *best* permanent on the battlefield—whether that's a mana rock, a utility land, or an opponent's bomb—and gaining its abilities while staying a 4/4 vigilant attacker. This gives you flexibility and card advantage simply by reading the board. You win by turning these copied effects into incremental advantage: ramp into bigger plays, copy an opponent's combo piece to turn it against them, or just bash in for 4 repeatable damage while generating value from whatever you're copying.

The deck thrives in midrange, playing interaction and artifact-/enchantment-focused synergies that reward you for having a changing board state. Include cards that synergize with artifacts and enchantments you control, lands that provide utility, and ways to protect or blink Absorbing Man so you can copy another target. With the Marvel set's rich artifact and Villain support, you can lean into Villain synergies (Loki's Scepter, Doom Reigns Supreme) or Hero/equipment themes to maximize his flexibility. Avoid pure combo reliance—this is a "best permanent wins" deck that grows stronger as the game goes longer.
