Captain Marvel, Shooting Star

Captain Marvel, Shooting Star is a flying threat that doubles as a political engine—when she enters or attacks, you exile an opponent's creature and they gain life equal to its power, softening the blow of losing their own threat. The real magic happens when you pair her with other exile outlets: every creature exiled (whether by Cap or her teammates) triggers her second ability, letting you gain life equal to its power. This creates a powerful lifegain and creature removal package rolled into one.

Your deck wants to load up on exile-based removal and protection. Cards like Swords to Plowshares, Journey to Exile, and newer Marvel sets' exile mechanics (The Mind Stone from the new set is perfect) turn your removal into repeatable lifegain. You'll also want creatures and effects that benefit from exiling—connive effects, graveyard recursion that ignores exile, and cards that care about life gain. With vigilance on Captain Marvel and the lifegain cushion you build, you can swing aggressively while your opponents scramble to rebuild their board.

The win condition is a mix of commander damage and general value. You'll outpace the table in life total while steadily attacking with a 6/6 flyer, turning every removal spell into a drain effect. This is a fairplay control deck that rewards political play and removal efficiency.
