When the new protection cards were first announced immediately I was thinking of which heroes would benefit from them especially since dealing damage in the villain phase is one of my favorite playstyles. X-23 works so well with these cards for a multitude of reasons.
-She has in kit readies from taking damage in either phase allowing her to defend multiple times if you choose.
-The new Stand Alone allows her to ready again even if she perfect defends. You can defend for another player and still ready or ready when a minion attacks you.
-She already has in kit retaliate with Adamantium Lacing so Ronin just pushes the damage up more.
-Since X-23 is so versatile she can play with no allies and benefit meaning Army of One is a low cost extra ready. Use it on turns where you have Claw Mastery to push serious damage or thwart multiple times if need be.
-Taunt allows us to use Cuts Both Ways even in the player phase, draw some cards, deal damage to the villain and ready if we took damage from the attack. Taunt also let's us easily pay for In Harm's Way which does not get up to the crazy highs other decks may but dealing 5 damage alongside 5 threat being taken away feels pretty good.
The goal is not perfect defending, it is to let yourself be hit repeatedly and punish the bad guys for it. With all the upgrades out we can deal out up to 5 damage back to an enemy, more with cuts both ways in hand.
You may be asking why Change of Fortune when we don't have any minion summoning. This is mainly for MP purposes as you can defend a minion engaged with another player to finish them off or use Excelsior to push damage at them to finish them off.
Angel's Aerie allows us to build counters extremely quickly and flip down for massive heals. Ready for a Fight lets us flip right back to start it all over again.
Enhanced Reflexes provides us a reliable way to pay for Excelsiors requirement as well as our multitude of energy resource cards.
This deck has been a ton of fun and has been really reliable. I'd love to hear any experiences or feedback on it!
Looks fun! With all those ways to draw in attacks, you're bound to be able to take damage and ready up, while dishing out just as much. Very cool!
