RELENTLESS SOLDIER !! [Expert] [Ronan/Magneto/VenomGB]

For Team Bro.

@Nawamin080For Team Bro!!

I've played this deck with friends, and it's honestly one of the best Aggression decks I've used. It's an incredibly flexible build centered around Bucky, who absolutely excels at clearing minions. Better yet, every minion you defeat also helps remove Threat, effectively covering Aggression's biggest weakness.

my friend taken this deck against some of the toughest Expert villains in the game—including Ronan, Loki, Magneto, and Venom Goblin—and it's beaten all of them.

With this deck, you rarely have to worry about minions piling up or the Main Scheme suddenly getting flooded with Threat. At key moments, it can also help with threat management, taking a lot of pressure off the Justice player. That allows Leadership and Protection to focus on what they do best instead of constantly covering for the team. As a result, every Aspect gets to shine and the whole table runs much more smoothly.

Against the game's top-tier villains, this deck dramatically reduces the pressure on your team and lets everyone play their decks to their full potential. Sure, you can still lose to bad draws—that's just card games. RNG happens, and I don't think that's something that should count against this hero.

I really hope more people give this deck a shot. A lot of players think this hero only works well in 3–4 player games because of the teamwork involved, but I don't agree. This deck performs surprisingly well in true solo too. Bucky has excellent survivability, and constantly clearing minions keeps Threat under control before the Main Scheme ever becomes a problem.

I genuinely recommend giving this deck a try. It's an extremely well-rounded list that you can confidently bring into any campaign.

@Beruka Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredibly thoughtful comment. Honestly, reading this made me extremely happy and genuinely touched.

I'm really glad to hear that you and your friends have been enjoying the deck, and it means a lot to me that you’ve taken it against some of the toughest Expert villains in the game and had success with it. Hearing that it helped your whole team play more smoothly is especially rewarding, because that was exactly the kind of experience I wanted this deck to provide.

I also really appreciate you sharing your experience with True Solo. I’ve always believed that this hero is capable of much more than people give him credit for, so seeing someone else have the same experience honestly means a lot to me.

Thank you again for your kind words and for giving my deck a chance. Comments like this genuinely make all the time I’ve spent building, testing, and refining the deck feel worthwhile. I’m incredibly grateful that you enjoyed it. ❤️

For rearm bro

This is the best Winter Soldier list I’ve ever played. Thank you so much for sharing it!

@Joe555xxx1234 Oh, thank you so much! I’m really glad you like it and are having fun with it!

When Firepower came out, I made a deck built around Winter Soldier, because it's so strong against him. But focusing on that combo only, while super powerful for him, isn't enough to win. I like how this deck has other options to deal with stuff while you build up for the Firepower big turns.

@phtephen Exactly! Firepower can deal a huge amount of damage and have a major impact on the game, but early on, it’s difficult to use it to its full potential. On top of that, when facing a troublesome villain like Magneto, getting “Exhaust each upgrade and support” on the turn you draw Firepower can make it essentially useless. That’s why I intentionally designed this deck to have a variety of ways to attack and deal with different situations, rather than relying solely on Firepower.

I forgot to mention one more thing: this deck is even more fun when you take it through a campaign or fight the villains from the Fear No Evil box. You really get to roleplay as the Punisher while playing it! And I really hope that someday FFG will make Punisher as an actual playable hero.

I feel like this deck is not doing anything special. It's just Focus on Bucky strength and sometimes that's all you need. I love the call out of Relentless Assault, that card should see more play.

@Champion Mel Thanks for the feedback! I think Relentless Assault is a really good card, and it actually gets a lot of use in this deck, especially when playing Multiplayer with 3–4 players.

It’s useful for clearing Minions with Overkill, but another important benefit is that it provides an Energy resource, which makes it very easy to use it to pay for Electrical Discharge or Sunfire.

Hmm... Personally, I think Relentless Assault is a card that a lot of people overlook, but it actually has a lot of utility, especially in Multiplayer. When I tested this list with my friends, there were many situations where this card made dealing with Minions incredibly easy, while also allowing Bucky to remove 2 Threat with his ability.

I also think Aggression decks don’t necessarily need to be overly complicated. Especially with an Aggression deck like this that can handle Expert Solo, I feel that when you’re up against the top Villains, being able to play aggressively, clear problems quickly, and finish the game as fast as possible is a very good approach.

@Joe555xxx1234 Oh, I’m glad to hear that Relentless Assault has been useful for you! But don’t forget that this list has plenty of other ways to deal damage as well. And I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the deck!

Ultimate destructive power

@EastWest When I built and played this list, I didn’t have the new Luke Cage cards yet. If you want to update the deck now that you have the pack, I’d recommend replacing Spoiling for a Fight with Size Advantage.
