Nova-Prot All-Arounder

Mr. L is back from his deck lab and been tinkering with this Nova Prot deck. Home runs for IH and Nova by the way. Loads of fun! I got about 15 plays with this deck solo and 2P games with my 11-year-old son. I think its ok but definitely can be tweaked a bit to your play style. However, the main focus is this deck to help mitigate dmg, remove some threat with green cards, have some readies, allies to attack/thwt/chump block, and resource economy. This is my all-around Nova Protection deck and having a blast with it. Also, my 11-year-old son enjoys this deck as well :).

Allies:

Moongirl- It a must Champion ally for me. With Nova its easy to hit that resource cost to net back 3 bards.

Pinpoint- I like using Pinpoint to recur Energy Barrier and Height Advantage. I don't use EB off the bat and using it at the right moment to ping that dmg back. PP can recur HA more frequently since HA has to be discarded when your turn begins. (Yes, I know HA is meh to the general public but when used with other supporting cards mentioned down below it can be ok. :p )

Snow Guard- Love the flexibility with this ally.

Spiderman Miles- Can use to burst thwart or attack when played from hand. Awesome card.

Vivian-Just a great cheap ally card. (Can replace her with Iron heart basic ally if no one is using IH hero. )

Events:

Ever Vigilant- I think staple card for me since Nova can go Aerial pretty easily. Also, that threat removal is clutch as well.

Go For Champions- I like this card especially when im low on health, help preserve my champion allies, helping my champion traited hero player not take dmg, and mid -late game when the villain is hitting harder. Nicely paid with TPIAOU.

Jump Flip- I like that its only 1 cost to prevent 2 dmg and if paid with an energy resource it can remove 2 threat as well. Easy to get the kicker with nova's helmet. Also, height advantage helps dmg reduction by 1. Which equates two 3 dmg prevented.

Side Step- Prevent 3 dmg and ping one dmg back if paid with energy resource. Easy to get the kicker. Also, as mentioned with jump flip can combo off with Height Advantage. Can help with increased spikes of dmg mid-late game.

What doesn't Kill Me- That ready w/ heal 2 is clutch when you're getting sudden dmg spikes from the villain and to get that physical requirement is easy with his helmet. That ready is awesome for nova to get more juice out of his helmet. I think one is sufficient.

Resources:

Everday hero-Just added one so I can time it when I flip down to AE to spend to get that one extra heal and to recover. (If you don't want this you can add one double basic resource. Probably physical or energy for the kickers on protection cards.)

Power in All of us- A must for me to help pay for basic allies, Go for Champions, basic supports.

Power of Protection-Just wanted another wild resource specifically to help pay for Energy barrier, WDKM, PP, EV. Can be used to tight pinches to pay for kickers on aspect prot cards.

Support:

Champions Mobile Bunker- A favorite of mine for deck cycling. Definitely for Champions traited heroes.

TBE- Helps pay for champion traited allies and Aerial card.

Night Nurse- Helps with status conditions on Nova.

Upgrades-

Endurance- I like having double digit HP.

Energy Barrier- Prevent dmg and help ping back dmg to enemies. Can recur with Pinpoint.

Height Advantage: In my play testing I think it's a decent card when combo'd off JF, FP, SS. Also, can recur more frequently with Pinpoint and goes back into your deck. I only added one since it meh by itself but super handy with the cards I mentioned. I think mid-late game its where its at for me. Still needs more testing but so far its ok and having PP to recur it back is not bad. ;p)

Well, there is my deck. I think has a bit of everything. I love this cycle of the heroes. At first, I was kinda meh at the heroes, but I am a believer now lol. I can't for Spider-Ham and SP//DR. Also, X-men can't come soon enough. Best time to be a Marvel Champions Enthusiast IMO! Until next time Champions!
