Retaliatory Action

I set this deck up for my campaign game against MODOK, where it has fared well. It should still hold up against other opponents, especially those with Retaliate.

The objective here is to set up and deal damage either when the villain attacks, or with effects that are not attacks themselves, allowing you to ignore retaliate. The first half of that involves Energy Barrier, Electrostatic Armor, Riposte and Nova. Combine these for lots of damage when attacked and trigger Change of Fortune. Meanwhile, Tac Team and The Iliad offer up regular, non-retaliatory damage.

The Pericles is, as usual, and incredible resource for avoiding taking damage, and Charlie-27, Rockslide, Victor Mancha, Energy Barrier, Riposte, and Armored Vest help avoid damage, enabling you to benefit from Unflappable.

There are a lot of expensive allies in this deck, so if you can get The Circe into play, it will save you a lot of resources to deploy them, and The Douglass can provide some much needed threat removal, as can The Iliad.

Maria clearly cast a wide recruiting net, ending up with allies from five different teams.
