InDOMINOble - A Perfect Defense/Super Offense Hybrid

Everybody is making Domino decks, I’m not special, and I definitely don’t have the talent for making flashy and exciting write ups. But I wanted to share my deck that has just been shredding enemies. Turns out a lot of people are interested in Domino decks because she’s not only massively powerful, but also super fun and interesting to play, and can be played with top tier decks in any aspect. I do think Protection is her strongest aspect, even in true solo, because I think it’s good to get use out of her best stat (defense) and also be able to ready her up when you have Probability Field, possibly one of the strongest hero cards in the game.

The beginning of this was a true perfect defense deck, but Domino likes flipping to alter ego often to make use of amazing cards for her like Pip the Pug and Weapon X. A perfect defense hero the doesn’t want to always be in hero mode seems counter intuitive, and it is. I scaled back on some of the cards, and started making a bit of a hybrid.

One of peoples few complaints about Domino is that what she does worst is thwart, until she has Probability Field. Another problem was not being able to trigger Unflappable or Hard to Ignore on turns you want to flip down. Bait and Switch ended up being the solution to both of those problems. With all of the readying, you’re happy to flip back up, play Bait and Switch and defend to trigger your perfect defense cards you missed from the previous turn. Sometimes you’re happy to tank an attack just to take damage so you can play What Doesn’t Kill Me.

This is where we come to another fun combo, which is interactions with Lucky and Good. Because Lucky and Good is a permanent upgrade that’s activation makes you “defend”, you can not defend with a tough token from Perseverance and still trigger your Unflappable and Hard to Ignore. You can even attack or thwart, then play Bait and Switch while exhausted, use Lucky and Good and ready with Indomitable in the hero turn to get another basic activation. With Probability Field this is even more potent. Indomitable honestly is one of the best cards in the deck, a cheap card that allows you to do what you want most every turn while also doing so much more that’s powerful.

Yes there’s 41 cards, but I didn’t know what to cut, and I don’t think 41 is a big deal. Domino has so much card selection and filtering, and just straight card velocity at times. It’s underrated how well she can use situational cards like Perseverance, if you know you’re going to be flipping down to alter ego at the end of the turn, just throw your Perseverance on top of your deck so you’ll draw it in alter ego. Even better with Painted Lady in play, you can mill Perseverance and get it back right before flipping back up to use it.

My closing statement is that you can make any Domino deck by throwing darts at a board and it’ll probably be very good. But this deck is EXCELLENT, and plays on so many of her synergies. I hope you enjoy it, because I’ve had some of the most fun I’ve had in Champions playing this deck. Let me know what you think!
