The name of the game in this deck is to be versatile (duh, it’s Gamora) but also to use cards I never use. I’ve never run Brute Force because any aggression deck I run is gonna want to basic attack at some point and that feels like a waste. There has probably been some room for The Direct Approach in some of my previous decks, but I’ve always cut it to make room for things there seemed better suited for the deck. Smash the Problem and Quick Strike have been in a similar boat. Any decks it feels like they would be useful in ended up with them cut to do stuff that fit better. But since I must play Gamora at some point, it felt like these could work pretty well with her.

She can pretty easily get 6 Attack which works so well with a handful of cards and just save your basic actions for defending, thwarting or recovering when an event doesn’t make you exhaust as part of using it. In theory this feels like it will work moderately well.

As is, it feels like a simple deck to play, just never basic attack to keep Brute Force in play while filling in for your team and what they need. There was a version of this deck with Go All Out instead of Counter-Punch but I thought it might be more useful to have some other Villain Phase stuff to do. Might still end up switching that up some or cutting some stuff to make room for it. But that will take some testing and input, so please let me know what you think.

I’ve never seen this build! Cool idea, maybe I’ll try gamora again!

Thanks, I wasn’t sure if this was a unique idea or not. Gamora has been a blind spot for me in the years I’ve been playing. I’ve only looked at decks for her once or twice over the past couple years so I wasn’t even really sure how other people built her.

That might be the build that could make me enjoy playing her. I will definitely give this a try!

Nice build. Someone did this with Drax and got attack up to 9 or 10, but Drax can't use the other aspect cards Gamora can use. Great idea.

@underthewronghat Yeah, I think that’s Squee’s deck.

That partially inspired me to try this one. I haven’t played with that Drax deck yet tho I have been meaning to try it out. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it since I’m so used to drawing a ton of cards with DWI Theet Mastery and readying up a lot. Felt kinda counter intuitive to me, but it probably works great.

Thanks, I’m glad you liked this one.
