Small But Even Mightier

Small But Even Mightier: In her Tiny Hero form, Wasp can frequently trigger her Small But Mighty ability, but Aggression has the potential to make her even mightier.

In her Alter-Ego form she can continually recycle cards with mental resource icons printed on them, allowing her to play Moon Girl and Nick Fury, which means she can see any cards in her deck relatively frequently.

This makes Wasp ideal to set up Honed Technique with just a few powerful Aggression events to deal massive damage to finish off even very powerful villains, yet because she only needs a few of these cards, she can still manage the board with a deck with many allies, combined with her identity-specific events.

VILLAINS TESTED AGAINST to refine the deck (in both standard and expert): Klaw; Taskmaster; Red Skull, and Magneto.

NOTABLE ELEMENTS OF PLAY:

Because Ingenuity generates a mental resource, it is a natural fit with Honed Technique; plus, Wasp can recur the double-resource card Genius with her Alter-Ego ability, G.I.R.L., facilitating the play of Moon Girl, as well as most other cards in the deck.

Superpower Training is included to ensure that Wasp can gain Bio-Synthetic Wings, which grants her Aerial to play Dive Bomb.

Crew Quarters allows Wasp to take advantage of frequently going to Alter-Ego form without having to exhaust, which enables her to still attack or scheme in hero form, which facilitates the use of Rapid Growth.

The Power in All of Us facilitates playing the many basic cards, notably Avengers Mansion, Nick Fury, Moon Girl, and Professor X.

Conclusion:

It took a number of plays to refine this deck. Originally, I had a 41-card deck that included Melee, a couple of copies of The Power of Aggression, and the Player Side Scheme Keep Up the Pressure, but I found that the deck just couldn't manage the board consistently against tougher villains like Red Skull and Magneto.

After removing those 4 cards, and replacing them with 3 cards (a 2nd copy of The Power in All of Us, Vivian, and Crew Quarters, the deck played very smoothly and proved highly capable, while still maintaining the ability to finish villains with a great deal of burst damage, turning this into a control deck that packs a mighty punch!
