"No, you move".

Armored Vest: A must play once pulled, given the amount of time you'll be defending, another +1 goes a long way.

Energy Barrier: Can help block any excess damage that defending doesn't cover.

Indomitable: Prevents you from discarding a card from your newly drawn hand after defending, and will more likely come up again based on the way this deck works.

Black Widow: Use her thwart once and never again, keep her out for the chance to cancel a possible game ending encounter card (and hope you don't get a worse one).

Luke Cage: Block a huge attack with him to remove his tough status, don't let it be wasted on a measly one damage. Continuously use his 2 attack and when your deck is about to be empty, have him defend and die so that he is in the discard pile to be reshuffled.

Med Team: 6 healing over the course of 3 turns should give you more time in hero form.

Counter-Punch: A card that generates a physical resource or can give a free 2 damage to the villain when defending? Yes please.

Expert Defense: While Shield Block is better, as in it blocks all damage, this is a good alternative. When paired with Captain America's Shield and Armored Vest, you have a DEF of 7 for a single attack, which will most likely stop the damage. And if not, have Energy Barrier block one more.

Preemptive Strike: This is a ok card, only use it when you don't have a strong board state, or when a 3 boost card shows up.

Tackle: Alongside Heroic Strike and Mockingbird, there are 7 cards that can stun the enemy in this deck. Save your physical resources for Heroic Strike though, 3 damage won't change much.

Thanks for reading this far! Let me know any changes you think I should make.

I just played this deck and wow! It was great! It really let's you use Cap's cards well. Honestly, this was the first time I enjoyed playing Protection deck since I got the game so well done!

However, I did add 4 cards; 1 Endurance and 3 Honorary Avengers. Personally, I just like having endurance because often it ends up being a cheap heal, and honorary avengers just keeps your allies in longer. I used it on Agent 13 this game and got a whole extra thwart out of her which was great!

Great deck! I finally defeated Mutagen Formula expert with it after a great game - I was down to 1 hp after villain turn 1, but somehow turned it around. Black Widow + Med Team, of all things, carried me mid-game.
