Blood Rage

You must defeat the enemy with your hero's basic attack, which is very restrictive.

Hulk can +10 with a basic attack via event and Drax can reach the same amount (yet they are both of the worst characters of all the game).

3 Base ATK heroes can somewhat try to benefit from it, as long as the deck is built around buffing basic ATKs and/or making various basic ATKs per turn.


On the brighter side, this card is permanent and will stay for future reusagement (at the cost of your life)

  • Iron Man (Hero): all his 7x upgrades are tech!

  • Black Widow (Hero): SHIELD TRAIT. her two most powerful gear are tech: Synth-Suit, 2x Black Widow's Gauntlet, and so is her powerful Treachery negation

  • Ant Man (Hero: two of his most powerful upgrades are tech: Ant-Man's Helmet, Wrist Gauntlets

Earth's Mightiest Heroes
  • To be combined with Blade, a 1-cost ally.

At the expenses of having an slot occupied by a motionless avenger, you can ready your avenger hero. Two copies will suffice.

  • Thor naturally starts at 2+1 ATK and can go 4 in aggresion or pool
  • Ant-Man can go high on ATK too
  • Captain America, specially in Justice, can thwart for 4 with Fearless Determination, ready with his ability, then ready again with this card
  • Justice Iron Man can also do similar thanks to his Arc Reactor

May initially look quite situational but since Blade is inexpensive and stays forever, this card's condition becomes online quite easily.

  • Hulk can benefit too, but he is... Hulk

SIDENOTE: Honorary Avenger donation by other player opens up for any hero's usagement.

Followed
  • Damage of 4 by doing what Justice aspect does better: defeating schemes
  • Can be triggered on Alter-Ego, which is an apreciated rarity.
  • If cleared while the intended minion is down, it can still hit the villain for some progress
  • Requires a side scheme to work with. Player side schemes are here to help if villain decl dont cooperate.

I think its not a bad card, and is on par for its cost, can be stored on the field for later; yet its requisite can be too restrictive in some situations. Would add one or up to two of these (except if playing with Cable (Hero), whom deck speaks the language of side schemes)

Jessica Jones

With a single player side scheme left aside, she reaches the standard 3/2/2 stats.

Thats a small requirement to put her back in the average, but the real fireworks starts when you (and other players) can put more player side schemes in play:

  • Cable is an absolute beast at that role, easily buffing her to +6 or more since there is no bonus limit!
  • Maria Hill (Hero) can back her up for longer/forever with Field Agent, or even Med Team. S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy isnt required if MH is in Hero form, but still worth to mention.

Another KEY for exploiting her potentially massive Thwarting is to focus her on hte Main Scheme instead of in side schemes that arent extremely problematic. Even a scheme with an acceleration token can be ignored as long as we can keep Jessica Jones alive and twharting.


Now seriously, I've had lots of fun with her with my average Justice Cable deck

+6 seems insanely difficult to do, having that many side schemes in play at the same time seems very bad for you considering you can only have a max of 1 player side scheme in play in solo player. — Jvenom23 · 21
I'd suggest you to play Cable and see how much up she can go in the blink of an eye. Starting with the professor you can fish one scheme every turn. Cable can add schemes from any aspects and many of thems are of 0 and 1 cost. Add the side schemes that can the villain natually put in play et voilĂ  — matchet · 174
Yes but once you defeat the side schemes they are no longer in play, and Jessica Jones then loses the +1. Side schemes in the victory display are not considered in play. — Jvenom23 · 21
