Mighty Thor Aggression "Pain Bringer" Deck

Welcome to Mr. Lee's Deck lab!

When I think of a guy wielding a axe and a hammer I think of a berserker rage monster slashing and bashing fools to death. Thor brings the pain! Also with 4 opportunities to ready, Thor is a beast. But enough of the mental imagery, on to the notes!

First I tried making a drop kick focused aggression deck but for me it wasn't synergizing. (Love drop kick and toe to toe by the way) Personally, I was forcing drop kick to work on a 4 hand size and try to pull a 100% physical resource hand wasn't feasible without some generators. My goal is try to have a minimal board state setup and just go rock the villain. Personally, I like making the impossible work but with 2 energy resource generators is working against the grain for drop kick. So I decided to focus on making Thor Unstoppable and making him Ready 4 times a deck turn.

Strategy:

Get an Avenger out on the table ( I tried with only 2 avengers and my deck cycling during test cycling to bring an avengers out took to long. So I upped to to 3 and seems like the 3 is a good number to bring them out more often) You also have Lady Sif so you can ready Thor a 4rd time (Hell get tenacity in you can stand up even more). Set up Combat Training w Mean Swing, Skilled Strike swing away and use EMH to ready, dish out dmg again. The goal is to minimize flipping to alter ego and just blitz the villain. Also once you get the GoT, MP, and Asgard everything will start flowing.

Ally:

Spider Girl- Low cost too good.

Valkyrie- Easy to pay that response trigger with GoT. Also an Avenger for triggering EMH.

Personally, the aggression ally is your personal preference. Their all great and I pick my allies on what what villain I am facing.

Aggression Cards:

I think 2 MP is necessary. When you put into play Jarnbjorn, you will always be allocating 1 physical resource to fuel it. Also the other MP can fuel RA or cut the cost on Hammer throw/Melee/Relentless Assault, Piercing Strike.
