Ready for a Fight: Part V: Ready for a Giant Stomp!

Part of my Ready for a Fight series of heroes, which is the best way to reframe old heroes.

This deck mitigates the 4 card hand size of Giant-Man, allowing you to drop down to Alter-Ego more often, using Ready for a Fight, to minimize scheming, and use Ant-Man's Helmet more consistently for healing on the way up and doing damage before you defend and counter-Punch.

The goal is to go into hero mode and back down to Alter-Ego. You won't have to switch from Giant form to Tiny form after your hero turn.

You want to set up minions at 1-2-3 HP so on the villains' turn, you can trigger Change of Fortune for more card draw.

Here are the key cards.

• Ant-Man's Helmet: Hopefully, you can get this out early to trigger Ant-Man's powers.

Almost everything else can be added as you see fit. You should be able to control the board and rinse/repeat using Ready for a Fight to hero up, then power down at the end of the turn. If you get Resize you get your Giant/Tiny bonuses.

As you are building your hero kit, you will get at least 2 techs out so you can play Spider-Byte for free or 1 resource.

If you use Ready for a Fight, you can then use Desperate Defense and Counter-Punch, to punch for 5.

Because you are (Trying to) start in Alter-Ego each turn, you can set up your turn much better than having already been in hero mode.

Here are the other cards and what they do.

• Quincarrier, useful for physical resources.

• Armored Vest, ensuring you don't take any damage to trigger Electrostatic Armor, Unflappable and Dauntless.

• Change of Fortune Key component of this protection deck, setting up to get the largest card draw.

• Dauntless, once you are fully set-up you should be able to (with Endurance to be at full health when you hero up to Giant form.

• Electrostatic Armor retaliate when you defend.

• Giant Strength not used that much since it goes away.

• Indomitable ensuring that you can get back on your feet and don't waste your hero turn.

• Practiced Plan keep your Ready for a Fight back in your hand.

• Ready to Rumble when you have to start in alter-ego mode and can't use Ready for a Fight and need to heal.

• Unflappable combo to get more cards.

• Wrist Gauntlets helpful to set up an actual alter-ego turn.

Good luck and have fun.
