God of Lightning and Ever Vigilant Defender

"Are you Thor, God of Hammers?"

Hell no, he's not. He's Thor, God of Thunder. Which both the movie and I mean to be God of Lots and Lots of Lightning. All the ! In Ratatouille, this deck would be known as lightningy!

Why the ? Because Nova and Lightning Strike want as many as possible. Because Thor just looks cooler surrounded by all the electricity. Because Nova and Thor is a combination I've wanted to make since getting Marvel Champions.

19 cards in all, and two God of Thunder and two Enhanced Reflexes to add more. With Quincarrier, that could get you to 5 damage to each enemy with Lightning Strike. Enough to take out the lesser Kree Militants in Ronan the Accuser.

Setup and Priority

Mulligan hard to get Asgard. For Asgard! will get you there. Remember that equipping Mjolnir gets you not only +1 ATK, but also the aerial trait.

With Aerial, Thor has three AAA traits in total: Aerial, Asgard and Avengers. Triple A makes #Team-Building Exercise work with 12 cards total. TBE is definitely your next priority.

Now, setup God of Thunder, Quincarrier and Enhanced Reflexes for your Lightning Strike and Nova damage. Remember that Nova can do two damage multiple times if you have the resources (and you do!).

Next, use some Ever Vigilant with Team-Building Exercise for a 1 cost card that will ready Thor and remove 2 threat.

After that, let's defend as well as possible. He is the Defender of the Nine Realms after all, right? So, give him an Armored Vest. Give him Electrostatic Armor. Give him Energy Barrier. Let him use that get an extra card from Unflappable.

Put out Lady Sif, Desperate Defense, Indomitable, and Ever Vigilant to ready yourself after you defend each round.

Then you can dish out the damage with Hammer Throw, Lightning Strike, and Thor's basic attack.

Endgame

When you add in, Avengers Mansion and Thor's Helmet, you should have enough cards and hit points to outlast most villains.

Use Defender of the Nine Realms as much as you can. In GMW, that becomes harder with each villain because the minions have more and more hit points. Still, Thor would never back down from a challenge, and neither should you!
