Widow’s Dance (Con of Heroes 2026)

I'm kicking of my Con of Heroes 2026 deck series with one of my favorites to play with. Natasha really sings in Aggression with some of the newer cards that have been released, and this might be my favorite way to play her now.

This is a deck meant to use the villains attacks against them with Toe to Toe and Attacrobatics, and engage minions to trigger preparations to advance the game state, like Lie in Wait and Aggressive Stance. Add in Firepower and you have a deck that feels really interesting and strong at all player counts!

This deck leans into being aggressive and spreading damage out to her enemies consistently.

First, the preparations:

• Lie in Wait is very underrated, allowing Black Widow to deal 3 damage when a minion comes into play, plus an additional damage from her Widowmaker hero ability.
• Aggressive Stance allows you to get an attack event from your deck when you engage a minion, which we can do plenty thanks to Angela and Spoiling for a Fight.

Next, the events:

• Toe to Toe combos really well with Black Widow's innate defense, and Synth-Suit and Attacrobatics.
• Firepower is just good value and has a number of targets with Jarnbjorn an two copies of S.H.I.E.L.D. Sidearm.
• Spoiling for a Fight pulls minions into your traps, and gives you a ready to use your basic activations.

We also brought friends:

• Angela brings out minions to kill.
• Hulk gives us some health to defend if needed.
• Deathlok is a great target for Firepower.
• Yellow Jacket digs for upgrades (many of them preparations).

When you flip down, Safe House #29 gets you preparations back to hand.

Target Spotter is also really important since Lie in Wait and Aggressive Stance only work when you engage a minion; pulling them to you is valuable. It also helps to neuter Quickstrike on minions for Widow's Bite.
