Storm--Mother Nature

Storm is a force of nature. She is a protective force. She is Mother Nature.

Storm is one of the hero kits that can play a "True Ronin" build. No allies at all. This deck takes full advantage of the Ronin/No Allies cards. These cards include Army of One for multiple basic actions per round. In Harm's Way, which can get up to 5-7 DEF, depending on the number of upgrades in play. Stand Alone allows for multiple basic defense actions. And, of course, there is the namesake Ronin.

To buff the DEF stat, Innate Reflexes, Armored Vest, Defensive Conditioning, and The Best Offense... all add to the stat. Of course, the Ronin upgrade and Storm's Cape also add to DEF.

As an X-man, Storm has access to Honorary X-Men, X-Gene, Moira MacTaggert, The X-Jet, and Weapon X for resources and card draw. Deft Focus also helps play many of Storm's event cards. Build Support and Superpower Training help find needed cards and get them into play. He basic thwart with the help of a Hurricane will clear any of these.

I have tested Storm against a number of Standard and medium-level expert villains. She is a lot of fun to play, and the deck is fairly easy to pilot with the exception of knowing what to do with her Weather Deck.

Please give it a try and leave a comment!

Unlike other Ronin builds this version does not have Ready for a Fight, but you could easily add it without removing any of these cards. You might switch it out with Angel's Aerie, but I didn't feel the need to include it.
