“Nyet.”

Do you take enough damage from tanking attacks to make use Angel's Aerie?

Ready for a Fight is amazing with him! Good call.

@josseroo some games yes, some games no. When I take damage, it helps to heal. It’s also a cheap target for Caught Off Guard when you need it.

Interesting take on Colo, I don't usually defend much with him. I'll have to try this out

I don't know why I get so much joy out of Nerves of Steel being in a Colossus deck. This looks awesome!

@Castlefrank47 I played this throughout the con weekend and it holds up and can defend the table at 3-4p. Anticipated Attack is the MVP here and allows so much defense and card draw.

@Astrodar it’s really nice for hitting his defense events! And saving your hero cards for when you’re ready to punch on your turn.

This deck saved my life…in the game! Really cool to see Colossus do defend the table and do it so dang well!

@boomguy that's awesome! I'll have to give it a go, I wasn't doubting that it could I just haven't played Colo defending much hope it didn't come off that way!

I've been playing Ready for a Fight with a few heroes, and I oftentimes play with 2-3 copies of Practiced Plan so that I can recur the effect turn-after-turn. I'm curious to know why your deck has no copies of Practiced Plan.

Thank you. :)

@CaptnSpandex Thanks for checking out the deck! I didn’t include it because it’s more setup, and with this deck I was drawing my deck so fast that I always had either Ready for a Fight or Armor Up in hand. But you could totally make that change if you want!

Hey Boomguy! I love to see Colossus using toughs to block attacks. So often, toughs just feel like a resource counter with him. This looks like an excellent deck and I'm eager to try it. Great work! Thanks for all that you do for the community!

@MAXFightMan Aww, thank you! This was maybe my favorite deck from the Con of Heroes 2025 and reminded me why I love Colossus so much! I hope you have a great time with it.

I was curious if you ever try to run CoF and maybe Powerful Punch? I also tend to prefer Defiance over Preemptive in more difficult scenarios.

@LateNiteGames those are totally options! But this is meant to defend the table in MP so it’s pretty singularly focused in defending rather than killing minions. But you could totally go that route!

After playing this, I’m wondering how you use it to deal with threat in solo? Seemed like allies were the only threat removal basically since Colossus is exhausted from defending all the time

Bait and Switch seems like a good simple addition

@tmisp this is 100% no intended to be a solo deck! You should be defending for the table in 3-4p games with this.

Oh i saw the solo tag and thought it was at first but makes sense now!
