Falcon - Taunting away defiantly

YES, that's a crazy name for a deck! It gets its name from Taunt, Up, Up, and Away, and Defiance, which all combo together nicely!

Playing the Deck

It's not going to work out every time, but the goal is to play Taunt when you know the boost won't matter either because it's small and your DEF is high enough, or because you have a Defiance in hand (if it has a crappy boost effect). If you ALSO have Up, Up, and Away in hand you can potentially get even more card draw, but even if you don't you'll know what the next card down is (and knowing is half the battle).

The Allies

Each of the allies are either AERIAL (as are many of the Events and some of the Upgrades) or AVENGER so that I can get a cost reduction with Team-Building Exercise. The AERIAL allies also benefit from Soaring Acrobatics.

  • Cannonball can theoretically stick around forever
  • Jocasta will dig Up, Up, and Away out of the discard pile for another use. She's the only non-AERIAL ally.
  • Starhawk will pretty much be an every-turn play so that you're never left hanging when you want to trigger Eagle-Eyed.
  • Vivian has a good Response, but mainly she's another cheap AERIAL ally.

I chose not to run Cosmo because my ally limit will usually be met with Cannonball staying in play and Redwing & Starhawk bouncing.

The Events

  • Defiance looks out of place, but it combos well with Up, Up, and Away AND Taunt! Use the Former to grab the big boost for card draw, then use Defiance to whisk it away when it would be revealed (because up until that point it had only been looked at)!
  • Ever Vigilant is one of my favorite Protection cards! Ready and remove 2 from the main? Yes please!
  • Since you know what the boost card will be (and whether or not it has a bad boost effect) Taunt is an especially handy card for Falcon, and plays right into the Up, Up, and Away / Defiance combo outlined above!
