Wasp Pollen The Reins

Been having a lot of fun experimenting with various decks using Wasp, both in solo and with another hero. As I primarily play the former, I've gotten accustomed to playing with the Justice aspect which has fast become my favourite.

I absolutely love Wasp's suite of Hero cards. There's a couple of cards that I find situational (looking at the Upgrades there...), but her events combined with her Alter-Ego ability to shuffle resource cards back into her deck make her incredibly flexible with all aspects, and it is this idea that the deck revolves around.

Being in Justice, gotta get the Thwarting cards out of the way; it's incredibly refreshing not to play For Justice!. I've plumped for Lay Down the Law as I'm constantly shifting my form (depending on the situation) and Clear the Area, which can help provide some much needed card draw, an area that Wasp is somewhat lacking in. Other than that, there's a couple of copies of Counterintelligence to provide some protection from the inevitable drawing of at least one copy of Advance when in AE mode, and Under Surveillance which I find pretty much essential in 1-2 players.

I've also gone for a copy of Heroic Intuition; it's not essential but when combined with Wasp's Helmet in Giant mode if I don't have a Clear the Area to hand, I can take out the last one or two Threat on a side scheme without feeling like I'm wasting some big stats. There's also a couple of copies of Skilled Investigator too to help out with that resource problem I've found Wasp has (the spare copy is owing to it being 0 cost and I can give it to another player), and rounded out the Upgrades with Followed just for a little extra damage but it's also the wildcard slot so I'll swap this out for something else depending on the scenario.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing what allies Scarlet Witch's deck brings. In the meantime, it's a case of having to settle for what Justice currently has. I've had turns where I've pulled 3 side schemes out at once, and as such prefer Jessica Jones over Daredevil. Quake is a cheap ally that can help ping off weaker minions, and Agent Coulson is there to pull Counterintelligence. Lastly, Nick Fury and Ironheart are in for some much needed card draw but also have that lovely resource too.

Round out the deck with the usual suspects' Down Time, Endurance and some resource smoothing Supports. I'll be taking out Helicarrier for Sense of Justice once Quicksilver's deck hits.

Had a lot of success with this deck, taking out Expert Rhino, Klaw, Ultron, Crossbones, Taskmaster and Red Skull. Wasp has some fantastic events in Pinpoint Strike (one of THE best hero-specific events, and usually the main target of the AE ability) and Wasp Sting (so darn good when playing against Expert Ultron). Resources are something of a problem for Wasp but from my experience, a lot of the Justice cards are fairly cheap so she can focus on damage dealing where possible.

I think this is possibly her best aspect, though Protection really works for her too (I have a variant of a Death by a Thousand Stings deck). Aggression has come on leaps and bounds since the Core days but I prefer that on Ant-Man when I'm partnered with him. Leadership is still good stuff thrown in, and I toyed with a deck based around boosting Stats using Teamwork etc but I found the deck was so much about set-up and getting the right cards at the right time, that I just seemed to end up playing the likes of Pinpoint Strike anyways and went for a deck that was just about recycling allies with Make the Call and Rapid Response for various ETB benefits whilst concentrating on just hitting the Villain.

Any c&c's are always welcome!
