Overview

You know what is better than using an ability once? Using it twice! The intention of this deck is to be a love letter to Gamora’s ability to be a jack-of-all-trade. If you plan ahead a bit, you can get some really big turns with things triggering off each other.

Misc Tips and tricks

  • While you could easily clear out all of the side scheme, you want to be strategic about when you clear side schemes (i.e. using 100% of your brain power!). For example only defeating one side scheme per round so that you can maximize skilled investigator. Acceleration Token side schemes are the easiest ones to keep around as you will have plenty of threat removal
  • I would mulligan for Skilled Investigator / Keen Instincts. Cards to consider keeping include Build Support, Nebula, or Chance Encounter
  • You can use Basic Defense + True grit + Turn the Tide Combo on the villain phase. Now that is using 100% of her ability!
  • Finesse / Precision are not considered Attacks / Thwarts. This means that you don't get hit with retaliate, but it also doesn't trigger Turn the Tide
  • Set the Pace and Acrobatic Move. Try not to use them as resource cards unless you have already used your Finesse / Precision abilities
  • Specialized Training for either DEF / THW upgrade. I would probably lean more towards the DEF upgrade. DEF Upgrade allows you to basic defense each turn and ensure you can use True Grit each turn.
  • Superpower Training to get Sword / Keen Instincts if you need it. If you have all 3 of them, you can keep around Superpower Training as a safety for Masterplan or Caught Off Guard
  • If you draw Turn the Tide via Skilled Investigator & True Grit via Defense Specialist, you can still play those two cards as the timing window is still open
  • If you need a resource card from Nebula’s response, consider picking Forward Momentum or Momentum Shift
  • Quincarrier gets played via Build Support. Quincarrier is particularly useful in paying for costs associated with getting rid of Villain attachments

Don't play gamora much but this looks pretty interesting, good stuff!

@SDx I love descriptions that are easy to read, clear, and give a quick roadmap for the deck. I think for new players that’s ideal! I know sometimes I get lost in the sauce and make mine a bit over the top!!

Thanks @andyr and @Castlefrank47!

Even though I've played this deck a couple dozen times, even I still get nervous playing a deck without any allies!
