Dropping The Hammer (on Loki and then leaving it there)

As I wait for Agents of Shield to be available in Canada (sad face) I thought I'd drop a deck that doesn't require any of the cool new cards I'm waiting to showcase decks for.

This is one that I had assumed had been done already, but to my surprise, the only other published deck right now that uses Thor to play Pinned Down after Face the Past is this one by gammabyte. If you have a minute, give that one a look because there's a pretty cool and convoluted combo in that one - and if you're reading a write up by teamcanadahockey2002, there's probably a chance you like fun combos.

But back to this - the idea really just speaks for itself. Use Face the Past to find Loki and ready and draw 5 cards. Then, play Pinned Down on Loki and leave him there for the rest of the game. It's incredibly thematic and satisfying.

Personally, I like to take Mjolnir and put it on top of Loki for thematic effect.

Otherwise, this deck takes advantage of a lot of good stuff to play with Thor. Ever Vigilant and What Doesn't Kill Me are excellent ways to ready, and can be powered by The Power of Protection. Come Get Me Bub! and Defender of the Nine Realms are perfect for grabbing a minion and then drawing 2 cards. Godlike Staminana throws in some healing and Limitless Stamina gives another ready.

Personally, one of my favorites to add is Nightcrawler, because on turns you aren't Tough or where you want to intentionally take some damage (for What Doesn't Kill Me or Come Get Me Bub), Nightcrawler is a pretty decent way to use one of your resources from GGod of Thunder, completely negating an attack, plus giving you 2 THW which is something that Thor really lacks.

Anyways, this is my take on a green Thor, but you can always change out cards depending on your playstyle. But start adding Face the Past and Pinned Down and you'll have a blast laughing at the God of Mischief as he lies there helplessly.

Bonus Fun - if you play Standard III and you fill up Pursued by the Past with counters, there is nothing more satisfying than having Loki activate and then do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! (Note: It doesn't even bring out the side scheme and the other minions!!! How crazy is that!)

Until next time Champions...
