Toe to Talon

I find Toe to Toe a fascinating card. One of the most efficient damage cards in the game, coupled with a risk mechanic of taking damage. Well…if you know how much damage you’re about to take, the risk/reward is not a problem at all.

Option 1: Minimal Risk

Stack the encounter deck to get 1 or 0 boost then go Toe to Toe. Coupled with Vibranium Microweave Falcon just flies over the enemy and laughs. Alternatively, Hulk and Blade can hold the line and block it and probably another attack in the villain phase.

Option 2: Let it Rip

Stack the deck for the most boosts that won’t kill you. Up, Up, and Away after Toe to Toe into drawing a ton of cards. Then, Counterattack which will already be close to a OTK in solo. Afterwards, enjoy some soup at Soup Kitchen and flip down. After you also stack the deck in your favor, course.

The rest is pretty standard aerial aggression shenanigans. Falcon is a really solid user of One by One with all the bird bouncing with Redwing. One by One gives another outlet to attack to make sure you can Pitchback. More Team-Building Exercise means more birds to bird.

Last thoughts. I didn’t include Combat Training as a lot of activations go to defending/recovering. It’s solid though. Soaring Acrobatics is more versatile and can usually just pump up Cannonball. Practiced Plan was considered but I didn’t lean into the big damage with Counterattack often enough.

Now go and fly high!
