This is a project I’ve been tinkering with for a while now, a way to play nova that isn’t solitaire! I do love me some red nova and I love killing minions all the live long day, but I also like trying fun new combos so here we are! The basic plan is to defend for other people as much as we can, and use our defense cards that do damage to kill minions, to trigger Unleash Nova Force in the villain phase. Powerful punch is great for this as it can kill a minion, triggering Change of Fortune and UNF, as well as readying us. Once you can figure out how to use the helmet most efficiently in the villain phase it can really start to cook. and you always have "Come Get Me, Bub!" to keep those minions flowing and keep yourself healthy.

A+ deck name, 100% factually correct.

No added allies, no double resource... Seems fun, I have to try it!

Took this up against Enchantress whose attack is on the low side, and it played really smoothly (even without Change of Fortune).

Thwarting is a tad low, not sure what would be a good sub since the list works great as is (Soaring Acrobatics? Ever Vigilant?).

Another fantastic deck by the Red King! (bowing down) I just played this 2 handed with Wonder Man leadership against Risky Business expert with Reavers (been quite a while). The game took a while, but was victorious in the end. After turn 4 I had Nova built up, and about half of my defense turns was able to manage the board with only Unleash Nova Force in play once. I initially thought protection wasn't going to be good for Risky Business, but it worked out quite well. I'll be using this deck again.

Looking forward to the next Winning Hand podcast!
