Angelic Annihilation

ANGELIC ANNIHILATION

Death from above.

OVERVIEW

This Angel deck revolves around the strongest combo that we have in Aggression: Honed Technique plus Dive Bomb which will hit one enemy for 11 damage and each other enemy on the table for 5 damage. This combo gives us unmatched minion control in multiplayer.

While there are several aerial heroes who can make use of this combo, Angel is probably the best hero for this because of the synergies with aerial in his hero cards, such as Avian Anatomy and Worthington Industries.

STRATEGY

Mulligan everything to find Honed Technique as this card is the keystone of our deck. Dive Bomb and Melee both benefit from Honed Technique to easily remove any minions from the table.

Plan of Attack can find Dive Bomb from our deck. Avian Anatomy, Worthington Industries, and Assault Training will recur Dive Bomb so we can play it back to back on multiple turns if necessary.

Pitchback and Surprise Attack are both very efficient at 1 cost for 4 damage to add some villain damage. Martial Prowess is there to make sure we can pay for Surprise Attack consistently, which is easy to trigger because of Angel's dual hero form.

Tough allies like Colossus and War Machine provide a bit of blocking across multiple turns. Cannonball can stay in play for quite a while if you want him to, with all the aerial cards you will have in hand.

CONCLUSION

When Honed Technique is available, this deck will easily clear the table, even in a 4 player game, making it one of the absolute strongest decks for minion control in the game. It won't do much else though, and I wouldn't expect this deck to perform well solo with its lack of thwarting. Another weakness is the double mental resources required for Hone Technique, and mental to boost your events. This can sometimes be tricky, but fortunately Avian Anatomy works very well to provide that mental resource needed. Overall, there are other decks that can do better damage to the villain, but you won't find many multiplayer Aggression decks that can pump out more area damage than this.
