Flock Defense

Assuming a predator generally will attack the closest individual, a bird can reduce its "domain of danger," the area in which it can be the closest prey to a predator, by joining a flock.

...throw himself in front of attacks to protect his flock (the other heroes at the table in multiplayer). To do so, the deck is built around Draw Their Fire. He will defend without exhausting for the entire round. Bring it back to hand with Practiced Plan in play. "I Can Do This All Day" allows a single defense without exhausting should Draw Their Fire not be available.

Falcon's defense is boosted by Armored Vest and Defensive Conditioning. Ping damage with Electrostatic Armor, Energy Barrier, Vibranium Microweave, and/or Cuts Both Ways. Reduce further incoming damage and remove threat with Ops Room. Draw a card using Unflappable.

Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons find and play tech upgrades. With several in play, Spider-Byte is free to play. Jocasta tutors a defense event, probably Cuts Both Ways, from discard. Patriot adds a buffer for minions to allow Falcon to focus on the villain attacks.
