This is a multiplayer-focused deck that can slay minions and dish out damage with the best of 'em! It uses some unusual cards like Coup de Grâce to handle problems on the board and hold its own at the table.

This is a deck that I have been playing a lot and really loving!
The key to making this deck work is defeating minions, allowing Valkyrie to trigger her Death-Glow response to ready, Valhalla to heal and draw cards, and Flight of the Valkyrior to remove threat.
Setup
In order to help her do that we have cards to get minions, including the card for this episode (Angela) and the best minion-summoning card in the entire game (Chooser of the Slain). This card lets you choose exactly the minion you want, and then draw two cards.
Once we have minions in play, add Death-Glow to one of them and defeat it with a basic attack, boosted by Dragonfang or Hand Cannon, or with your other big damage events.
We have specific cards to help us find what we need:
- Aggressive Stance (which finds an Attack event from your deck when you engage a minion)
- Yellow Jacket (who can help dig for key setup pieces like Dragonfang, Blood Rage, and Aggressive Conditioning; he also helps find recurring upgrades like Aggressive Stance, Flight of the Valkyrior, and Hand Cannon later in the game).
Avengers Mansion, Quincarrier, and Hall of Heroes are just great value and help smooth out her economy and card draw for the game.
Events
We have ways to take advantage of her weapons that do not require exhausting to use them. Dragonfang and Valkyrie's Spear both are excellent targets for Firepower and Fusillade, allowing more damage to be sent toward the villain.
Have at Thee! is another great source of damage that is baked into her kit, and can help give overkill when you need it.
Coup de Grâce is a card that is much maligned, but it really works well here. It is not hard to get the triggering condition (a minion with an upgrade) since we want minions, and we have an upgrade we want to attach to them. Since Chooser of the Slain lets you choose whatever minion you want, and Aggressive Stance can grab you an Attack event when you engage it, Coup de Grâce can help defeat minions that have nasty "When Defeated" effects, or Toughness, or just a lot of HP.
I hope you enjoy this one!
