The Eye of the Tigra (MC//DC 2025)

This is another deck I played extensively during my first MC//DC 2025 tournament. I would like to note that the song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor has been playing in my head while working on this write-up. Additionally, "Rocky IV" the album features an exceptional musical soundtrack that is highly motivating—if you doubt me, give it a listen and feel free to call me a liar.

So, Tigra—what does she like to do? Hunt and kill her opponents... I mean, knock out enemies. I am experimenting more outside of her standard protection strategy and exploring different approaches. I really enjoyed how her pre-constructed deck performed, so I built upon that by swapping in a few cards. Tigra's ability to draw a large number of cards provides ample resources, giving you the advantage in setting up your board and quickly bursting down minions and villains.

A few things to note: she benefits from having minions, which makes her kit very inexpensive or even free. With her Cats' Head Amulet, she can generate a maximum of two physical resources on any turn—enabling her to pay for key cards like Savage Strike for free!

Key cards I added include Throg, as he's excellent for soaking up heavy attacks with his Tough ability. Hercules gets into play affordably because of the engaged minions. If there are more than four minions engaged, our Tooth and Claws cards are essentially free. Hunting the right minions with Guard can remove their Guard abilities, leaving just you and the villain for some serious direct damage.

I also like to activate all my Tooth and Claw cards after completing Keep Up the Pressure. This often results in an additional damage boost—each Tooth and Claw can deal around 30 damage combined, especially when paired with a basic attack and two Savage Strikes.

Overall, I really enjoy how this deck performed—it made a noticeable impact in my games. For example, in a three-player Kang game, I dealt a final hit of 52 damage, and in a four-player Enchantress game, I landed a final blow for 50 damage. This deck was also involved early on in the Trickster Epic multiplayer event, where I managed to defeat Doom twice in a single turn and then hunted the Mangog as the first target.

Anyway, I recommend trying this deck out. Let me know if you enjoy it.
