Here's a fun fact: enemies with 0 attack still activate against you. They just don't deal any damage. Say, doesn't that mean Stand Alone with a Pinned Down enemy will always be a free ready after the villain attacks since you can just ready up and let the attack through? Yup.

That's right, folks, minion farm Tigra is now even stronger thanks to exhaust-free defenses against the villain. But wait! There's more! What if I told you that the Symbiote Suit plus Mitigated Threat combo could be yours for just one resource every turn? It kinda' feels like Tigra can spare it, right?

Contingency Planning really shines here, holding Mitigated Threat, Pinned Down, or even Hunted until we want to use them. We're super rich, so we can play Symbiote Suit early and reap the benefits. We're also packing all the Ronin nonsense (you can cap at 8 DEF) you could want. Also, Ready for a Fight, obviously, along with Hidden Base to make sure we never face any risks at all.

You can still play Moon Knight for his absolutely bananas value, but maybe chump block with him early just to get the Ronin shenanigans back online.

You've got every ready you could ever want, so put that Symbiote Suit to work with a passable thwart and a decent attack, especially with your Sharp Claws.

I mean, do you really have to say anything else? Tigra was already incredible, and now she's a war crime. Enjoy!

Makes me want to play her in Protection once again! :p
Cool use of Stand Alone!

Will be playing Tigra in this Protection deck when I finally get round to it!

You could throw in Specialised Training to get DEF to 9 plus free card draw from defending in the Villain phase. And no The Best Offense? I'm shocked seeing as you have In Harm's Way

@Game Design Raccoon Protection Tigra is always a good time!

@MisterAnderson71 Specialized Training could definitely work if you want to absolutely min-max, but Tigra doesn't really need more draw or defense. But you can do it, for sure. I opted not to go The Best Offense... because it makes her Sharp Claws worse and it's a card you have to play instead of an upgrade that stays on the board. And, for some reason, I just love In Harm's Way. You could easily swap things in and out to make room for however you like to do the DEF-maxing archetype.

On a related note, I've considered dropping Ronin just so I don't eat my farm, but it hasn't been a deal-breaker yet. I can always turn it off by letting Moon Knight stick around.

is this a solo deck then because of Mitigated Threat? it costs 1 per player to keep it around I believe

Aug 28, 2026 hyperion · 323

@CANAS1AN Yeah, good point. I would drop the Symbiote Suit, the Mitigated Threat, and at least 1 Contingency Planning for multiplayer. You could sub in some of the previously discussed options or whatever else you like.

Oh how does it make her claws worse? Obviously you aren't getting the extra +1 atk (higher damage with your DEF stat though) but you'd still get either overkill or piercing though wouldn't you? And on rounds you weren't playing TBO your claws are still in effect.

@MisterAnderson71Yeah, it’s just losing value off the attack boost. They’re still good for keywords. I think it’s just a preference thing. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with going the The Best Offense... direction. It might even be stronger. I’m just personally less excited about it when a hero has +ATK cards because it feels like wasted value to me.

Yeah absolutely fair enough. Different strokes for different folks

Love finding new combos like with Symbiote Suit and Mitigated Threat. Absolutely broken
