Captain Thorns

Are you as tired of the green team sitting back and red having all the fun.

Captain Thorns to the rescue. This build is designed to take advantage of Captain America's Shield, Electrostatic Armor, and Nova to do a considerable amount of damage during the villain phase all while protecting all 3 other players so they don't take a scratch.

With all upgrades out, this build can easily deal 8 damage a turn simply by defending.

You can defend all 3 (sometimes 4) players by using captain America's Hero Action after your first defence. Desperate Defense or Indomitable let you sneak in that 3rd defence as needed.

Wait. Second where are those heals you ask?

Our playtesting showed the Captain never wants to leave his Hero form. Instead of traditional heals, we stuffed this deck full of +Defence so you can easily defend against 3 attacks without taking a scratch.

Use Energy Barrier to prevent any excess damage that comes through on defense to consistently activate Desperate Defense and Unflappable.

The strangest part playing Captain Thorns is during the player phase you often just pass - real heroes activate and play their cards during the Defence phase.

I built this deck when my girlfriend complained Defence doesn't do anything. Captain Thorns shows green can deal serious damage while making sure your friends have maximum up time for their heroes as well. This is now my favorite deck to play at the table.
