After watching SoloMarvelChampion playing a super fun Dora Milaje-based Wasp deck, I decided I wanted to try building one for another non-Wakandan hero. Once I realized the Dora Milaje support has a wild resource, I decided to go with Nova.

Piloting the deck is simple: use Infiltration to clear schemes easily and bring out minions. Great for Unleash the Nova Force rounds! Clear Specialized training easily and boost his basic attack (Heroic Intuition will get his thwarting up). Another option, one that might be appealing if you plan to keep all 3 of the Dora Milaje out, is to bump his defense. Either way, clearing specialized training is a priority for the card draw.

The Dora Milaje can soften up side schemes and minions during an Unleash round, or they can cover Nova's needs from round to round.

Nick and Moon Girl are great for providing card draw to get the Milaje set up, but once all three are in play, I just use them as resources. Of course, this means defending a bit during play, although in Unleash rounds, you can often ready up. Another option is to keep 2 of the Dora Milaje out and rotate your third slot for card draw/chump blocking. Also, Sonic Rifle can confuse the villain so you can flip down safely for some needed healing.

I decided not to put the standard double resources in play to maximize wild resources. Since many of Nova's cards have a discount with wild resources, I haven't found any difficulty in playing the cards I wanted to play from round to round.

I've tested this deck in solo, but it would likely do great in 2 (and possibly 3) player.

@Castlefrank47 thank you! It's a very fun deck. I do think I will add Down time to it, because healing is definitely a think to keep the allies alive. Also, I'm finding keeping Okoye and one other of the Dora out works a little better than trying to keep them all out. That let's me rotate the third ally slot for the card draw and chump blocking from Nick and Moon Girl.
