There’s been a lot of talk about the Teen Titans Go! plot twist, since readying characters is a very powerful effect. But the card isn’t truly abusable just within the scope of the Titans team. Other teams have some ways of making a Go! turn really go. The Titans can do pretty well with it on their own, but it becomes ever better when they team up with some other groups.
The key to making Teen Titans Go! work for a deck is to make it as reusable as possible. Sure, Garth ◊ Tempest can get it back for you once or twice depending on how long the game goes, but there’s no reason to wait around that long to get some recursion out of a plot twist.
The Spider-Friends team has just the ticket. Daily Bugle has the ability to reset a resource face down when a Spider-Friends character stuns a named character. To get the Daily Bugle/Teen Titans Go! combo online, both of them need to be in your resource row. This isn’t the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, so the deck has ways to dig fairly deep to find the components. USS Argus gets you to the cards you need, but get Go! into your resource row first. The Bugle can come along next turn to reset it.
More important than the plot twists and locations are the characters. Spider-Man, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the key character of the deck: While Spider-Man is team attacking, attackers you control cannot be stunned. What would be better than sending your whole team into a worry-free team attack? Doing it twice in one turn of course! That is, if you even need to send the whole team for both attacks. Use 'em all for the first team attack against your opponent’s biggest guy, play Go!, then use Spidey and maybe one other pal to take down the next biggest dude. Now pick off the rest of the team in solo attacks.
After the first big team attack and Go!, you might not even need to make more attacks. Activated abilities come back online when your characters ready. Punisher can KO your opponent’s big dude that you just stunned with the big team attack. Since the deck is team attacking all over the place, your opponent will usually have some untouched characters, so Terra becomes quite useful to get rid of your opponent's last character, and she can get rid of USS Argus when you’re ready to start filling your hand again.
Tim Drake ◊ Robin, Young Detective is a great pinch hitter if you don’t have Spidey. When you team attack, at least you won’t lose your best guy. Speaking of not losing your best guy, once your opponent sees this combo in action, he or she will be looking to take down the key characters. Heroic Sacrifice to the rescue! Chances are good that you won’t have had the chance to put it into your resource row, but don’t be afraid to play it out of your hand, as it will save your combo. Also saving your combo is Garth ◊ Tempest, with his ability to dive for sunken treasure in your KO’d pile. However, Dick Grayson ◊ Nightwing, Titan Leader is your better 5-drop if you have the initiative. The deck sports several low cost characters to help get the team online. Mirage is a one-woman team-up enabler, while Prowler can get you to the cards you need. Hawk and Dove are great when combined in a worry-free team attack.

The other team-up deck that can get some good use out of Teen Titans Go! is a Gotham Knights team-up with the Teens. Instead of using the 3-drop Spidey to make the team attackers unstunnable, the deck utilizes the reusable Dynamic Duo.
