A big winner of the Wonder Man hero pack release was Angel, as a slew of new Aerial-traited cards were released to the game. Firebird, Sentry, and Everywhere All at Once (critically, an event) are all solid cards in their own right, but shine in the hands of Angel with his additional Aerial synergies.
I'll break down the deck using the method I describe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6XQ27iHKeU
Parameters
An Angel Justice deck brimming with Aerial-traited cards to maximize The Power of Flight, Avian Anatomy, and Cannonball built for multiplayer (in particular, the Con of Heroes 2026!)
Super-Staples
3x Basic Doubles
1x Show of Empathy
1x Skilled Investigator
This deck omits extra copies of Skilled Investigator and super-staple allies like Nick Fury who would dilute the density of Aerial cards.
Core Cards
3x The Power of Flight
1x Cannonball
1x Team-Building Exercise (could almost play 2 but I think this deck is resource-heavy already)
Synergies with Core
3x Everywhere All at Once
3x Yaw and Roll
5x additional Aerial allies
1x Soaring Hearts
1x Agile Flight
Second-Order Synergies/Staples/Just For Fun
Everywhere All at Once requires multiple schemes in play to reach full value, so it's good to bring some of our own.
1x Lay the Trap
1x Specialized Training:
1x Weapon X: extra draw is appreciated in a deck with so many resource cards to not end up with resource-heavy, action-light hands
Credentials: (coming soon!)
I loathe sharing a deck without stating what it has won and lost against so you can get a sense for the power level, but I want to participate in the Con of Heroes hype train. I promise to add them when I have them!
Closing thoughts
It's nothing too fancy, but I've always enjoyed playing Angel, and the 5-ish new Aerial cards from Wonder Man put the deck above a critical mass of Aerial cards that makes it really hum. Happy flying!
