Blind Rage

Daredevil is one of my favorite characters: he dishes out a beating, takes plenty of hits in return, and—as a lawyer—constantly thwarts the plans of criminals. What more could you ask for?

Since his Hero cards allow for a great deal of thwarting, I’ve chosen the Aggression aspect to truly capture the essence of the character.

First and foremost, we want to get The Man Without Fear into play. To help with this, I’ve included Superpower Training, which is easy to trigger using Living Lie Detector, Deposition, or Foggy Nelson. If we can then attach "Enhanced Olfaction" to that "Superpower Training," we can play "The Man Without Fear" for free. We can use these same combinations to play "Karen Page," "Sister Meggie," or "Foggy Nelson" at no cost by pairing "Build Support" with "Enhanced Olfaction."

The Man Without Fear gives us the flexibility to switch between attacking and thwarting as needed. With that in mind, I’ve focused on boosting Daredevil basic attack using Combat Training and Aggressive Conditioning—the latter also provides a nice bump to our hit points.

To handle minions, I’ve added Hand Cannon, which grants Overkill to our attacks. Combined with Skilled Strike, this allows us to take out minions and potentially land a hit on the villain in the same strike. Using Surprise Move alongside Suppressing Fire offers additional benefits, such as readying or healing our hero. Suppressing Fire can also be highly effective when paired with Raising Hell or Cross-Examination. Meanwhile, Surprise Move pairs perfectly with the "Senses" cards. As an added bonus, Blood Rage lets us draw a card. Coup de Grâce allows us to negate the "When Defeated" abilities of minions, rendering them completely harmless.

To further boost our basic attack, I’ve included Mean Swing—ideally used by exhausting Daredevil’s Billy Club.

To ensure Hand Cannon makes it into play, I’ve added Lock and Load. Naturally, we can always play Hand Cannon for free thanks to "Enhanced Olfaction."

To wrap up, I’ve included: Endurance to increase our hit points needed for The Men Without Fear and Elektra; Deft Focus to Senses" deck at no cost.
