Who says you can't drop Adam Warlock Turn 4? (Star Lord v2)

I don't have anything useful to add, but after glancing, it makes perfect sense. I like it.

Seems "PT-lite" if anything, but maybe just slightly?

Looks like it would do well most of the time.

I say definitely get a 4th Even the Odds in there, the card is too good.

Also, I would consider cutting maybe 3-4 SC cards in order to add in a few training ground (red) locations. This will give you more reliable usage of Yondu's ability as well as Starlord's space cop ability. It also would give you a better chance of not losing a SC or PT to your resource row when you use Nick Fury.

Thoughts on what to replace:

1 Dr. Strange, 1 Gamora, 1 Sabertooth....

in that order.

Decking into locations/unusable cards will always be a possibility, that just comes down to luck. Adding 3 more locations won't really change the odds of that too much, and is drawing a location really that much worse than drawing a lategame Nick Fury or Mantis?  Honestly with your deck I'd be more afraid of drawing into too many expensive characters in the initial draw, and then just getting smacked around for several turns.  Also, if I'm going to put down a resource, which you will do a lot of with this deck, I prefer it to be a location that can later maybe be used rather than a character that could have been recruited and now cannot. 

As for what to drop, I would lighten up on some of your bigger characters, like I said, I see combinations for disastrous opening draws your deck could throw at you with reasonably high odds.  Having that Thanos, Adam, and Dr. Strange ready to go with power up potential in your hand doesn't mean much when you can't keep Star-Lord alive long enough to recruit them.

Suggestion:
+ 3 Training Ground
- 1 Thanos
- 1 Dr. Strange
- 1 Magneto

Groot is kind of an awkward card, he is not really big at any stage in the game, but he is VERY cost effective lategame. If you drop him early on turn 4 he is actually weaker than most 4 drops, his natural drop on turn 5 is pretty average as well, but for only costing 4 or 5 resources, he is strong in the mid to lategame.

I think this deck in particular wants to keep a couple Groots available.  Your Groot is there to team attack with Gamora to get her lethal effect off on characters she can't handle alone (which will be all of them past turn 3), you don't have any other way to give Gamora more attack power, besides a team attack with Adam, but you definitely want to be able to use her lethality as much as possible.

I love Iron Man's ability to reuse locations.
