The Ultimate Vibranium Suit

RIP all villains. This deck is murda

Since you don't want to normally defend, is really good to have Electrostatic Armor in the deck? Also, what about Get Behind Me!? It is a card I always consider for defense heavy decks, but, for me, it never makes the cut.

@wehehe I like electrostatic armor because it gives you more options because it boosts your retaliate to two which is nice for chipping away damage on 3 HP minions. It means you can kill them in one shot with Panther Claws and still use Vibranium Suit as the final stage to heal back 2 HP as the final stage of Wakanda Forever. In regards to Get Behind Me - in testing I found they slotted in nicely once you have energy barriers set up (mid-late game) to negate nasty Treachery cards, while dealing damage out on the defensive end without defending. Try it out and let me know what you think.

@wehehe @JRise33 I had the same question about electrostatic armor, but for the armored vest. Why is it being included? Even when you do defend, you always want to take a little bit of damage (ideally, 2) so that you can actually use the Vibranium Suit on your turn.

I would have thought Dauntless would be more effective, especially because you don't need to defend to trigger it, and you have Endurance and Barriers down to keep your HP up. If you're including Electrostatic Armor for the occasional retaliate, then Dauntless would be worth a consideration too?

Different discussion topic, so I started a new post... Personally, I've found that as much as I want to include Get Behind Me, I find they just aren't worth it. Maybe it's just me, but I find that many of the Treachery cards involve an attack anyways (Mob Mentality, Total Annihilation, Gang Up, Assault) and the new Expert II cards are Peril so they can't be used to help teammates. I find it makes more sense to play the Black Widow ally at that point as she can skip past the worst cards, and of any type.

Maybe its just because everytime I have Get Behind Me in my hand, I always seem to draw an Assault, so there's no point in paying to cancel it at that point anyways. Curious how everyone else has found it to be useful, especially with Standard/Expert II?

@teamcanadahockey2002 good question. I did try a few rounds with dauntless but didn't feel like it was triggering enough for it to be worth it as I found my health would usually hover around ~9 HP most games in solo. Could definitely see it being super valuable in a multiplayer game though when you have more opportunity to flip down and heal up. Great suggestion and worth experimenting with in the future. In regards to armored vest - I was testing mostly in solo play and liked having the extra defense buffer as I died too many times on unlucky draws before I was setup (Villain attacks with 2-3 boosts + draws into Villain attacks again with 2-3 boosts) and didn't want to chump block with StarHawk or Nova because keeping them in the game was too valuable. What major changes would you make for a multiplayer game as it was tested mainly solo, but was tested A LOT?

@JRise33 Personally, I think that sometimes the deck list is less important than the strategy behind it. I have a deck that's nearly the same as this, with just a few cosmetic changes, but I use a different strategy here than what I think you're proposing. If it were me, I think my strategy here would be to always defend with the 2 so it triggers the Electrostatic Armour. Most villains will attack at around 2, which means that the only damage you'll take is the boost card. (If you play a villain with an attack of 3, then bring the Vest). Even with a big boost card of 3, then if you have your Endurance down, you'll still have enough HP to trigger Dauntless which means you're now retaliating at 3. If something wonky happens, you have Energy Barriers to make sure you don't take too much damage from the villain attack.

Add that to the 2 you're getting from Nova and you've now hit the villain for 5 on their turn and haven't use a single card (other than the Quincarrier exhaust). Then you use Vibranium Armor and/or Momentum Shift to heal back up to 14 again for the next round. It also gives your Indomitables some use too.

@teamcanadahockey2002 great points here. I'm going to do more tinkering here based on your suggestions to see how it plays. Thanks for the feedback :)

Hi! Me again. I've been following the thread. If you don't intend to defend, maybe the armors or indomitables aren't too useful.

I played such a deck a while back and had included Defensive Stance. Now, I know that card is generally considered bad for its cost, but BP can easily afford it with its Vibranium. Or maybe Nerves of Steel with Side Step for some damage too?

@neothechosen I think that's where the miscommunication in this thread is coming from. There were definitely turns I was defending when I didn't pull the cards I needed but had an indomitable in play with electrostatic to still do some damage and not let my health drain too hard. Agreed on Nerves of Steel - I just wanted to shift away from being a deck that was super dependent on defending. From playing it, I find it's a nice middle ground with lots of options.

Being playing this deck and loving it! You definitely need to defend in some situations but the recovery suite in this deck means you're not down for long. In the games I've played with it so for, I've only had to flip alter ego once to heal. A most excellent build

Wow thanks for sharing @Zanhammer! So happy to hear the build is working for you and you're enjoying it. I absolutely cruised through all the campaigns but still got stumped by Ronan.

BP is my main. This deck looks dope!

I beat Zola with this! Thank you, thank you, thank you....

Any advice going up against Ronan with this deck in the GMW campaign?

This deck is nuts. I tried it with Mutagen Formula and never felt out of control, even with some unlucky amount of Goblin minions on the board. I made two changes since I'm not fan of Get Behind me. Swapped them into one Unflappable which worked awesome, and Hard to Ignore to sometimes lower additional threat.

Insanely fun deck, nice job.
