The aim of this deck is being able to get Informant on your nemesis minion every turn; stay in AE form and be able to nuke threat by having a boat load of upgrades in play to boost Taskmaster.

This is 100% a multiplayer deck - your job is to get Face the Past as soon as possible, put Taskmaster in play then get upgrades out - the only things not to mulligan first turn are informant and Safe House. You'll use Safe House to put informant back in your deck every turn too once it's in play. You won't be doing a huge amount of damage; if any.

Agent Coulson, OWOA and practiced plan will also help you find informant. Worst case scenario and you don't manage to get informant on a turn; flip to hero and let an ally eat the hit before flipping down again.

You should have taskmaster easily thwarting for more than 10 threat every turn no worries at all.

Remember Covert Ops is an action not a hero action; still usable in AE.

Deck 100% inspired by my buddy Odin.

Super fun idea! Black Widow is one of my favorites, but I know her damage output is lacking when the team needs to push through minion swarms or close out the game. Do you find that other players can push through those swarms & closeouts without you needing to flip up?

@CanadaDry Having played an alter-ego Widow deck myself, they can, but if it gets sticky, flipping up, playing a Dance of Death and letting some Attacrobatics, Grappling Hook and Widow's Bite preparations actually get used can make a contribution without using up all of your preparations.
