This deck is an aerial thwarting powerhouse. Cloud-9 boosts all aerial characters, and aside from Ms. Marvel, all characters will be aerial. With Command Team, and Falcon, you can ready Cloud-9 multiple times to pump up thwart levels on other characters, such as Nova and Snowguard. Vivian can be a great thwart asset when you play Go for Champions! or you have Team Building Exercise in play (so thwarting doesn't immediately discard her).

He's no damage slouch either. With Triskelion, Nova can have three aerial allies, plus himself to trigger Air Supremacy against four targets. On an Unleash Novaforce turn, that can be a good way to weaken a bunch of tough enemies so that Nova can then exhaust to punch them down with his low basic attack. R&D facility can help shore up that basic attack, bringing it as high as four if all three are in play at once. If he needs to Go All Out to take down a foe, all the buffs from Cloud-9 also help give him a powerful punch.

On a perfect turn, you could punch for 21 (4 [base stats] + 5 [Cloud-9 readied four times with 3x Command Team and Falcon] + 6 [3x R&D Facility] + 6 [other players playing Heroic Intuition, Combat Training and Armored Vest and you took Symbiote Suit]). You won't get that to happen almost ever, but you can still reach 8 damage fairly easily, which is great for two cost. I considered including Push Ahead as well for an all out thwart, and it would be cool if you could go all out like this. But for the more regular use, you're only increasing his thwart by about 4 for the cost of three resources. Might be worth throwing in a single copy if you do have some friends willing to toss you some upgrades.

Symbiote Suit could be an excellent addition to this list, as giving him more health to burn when triggering Clarity of Purpose is handy as well as the stat bonuses. It is risky due to his nemesis side scheme, which would force him to discard symbiote suit. If you do take it, consider adding one copy of Resourceful to your deck, with the goal being to play it and leave it there as a Symbiote Suit safety buffer.
