Drax is a simple man. He wants to do one thing and one thing only: build up his vengeance counters and attack for a lot.

And get healed by Mantis. Two things, two things only. Attack for a lot, and get healed by Mantis as often as possible using Rapid Recovery, Command Team, and Make the Call. Ready for Action can also give her an extra use, or save a blocker.

Well, he would also like to ready whenever possible. Ok, three things, and three things only. Attack for a lot, get healed by Mantis, and ready using Major Victory along with all the aforementioned cards, as well as CITT.

While he’s at it, Drax would really like to draw some more cards if you don’t mind. So how about some card drawing allies and Assess the Situation to smooth out those 4 card hero hands? Aaaaaaaaand if said allies removed some threat every now and then that wouldn’t be so bad too.

So five things, and five things only. Build up his vengeance counters and attack for a lot, get healed by Mantis as often as possible, ready over and over and over, draw some cards, and remove some threat.

Drax is a simple man.

update: ManvsDeck helpfully pointed out that the original version’s Inspiring Presence is an Avengers only card. He suggested Ready for Action in its place and I concur. Thanks again!

Your write up made me think of that SNL Steve Martin skit where he is listing his wishes LOL. Also, I like this deck. I'm gonna have to give it a try! Cheers!

@LordVader13awesome! I hope it treats you well! I’ve been playing it a lot this week and I gotta say if you can find Mantis reasonably early Drax just feels invincible. That sounds like a really fun combo and I’d love to hear how it goes!

Drax, Major Victory and Rapid Response lead to such insane turns! Have you tried including a couple of Blaze of Glory? With Drax attacking for 6 and MV for 3, one BoG and one Rapid Response lets you do 24 damage (6+3+6+3+6), which is nuts.

@svendj wow I hadn’t considered that! Blaze of Glory is a card I haven’t really used much for some reason but it could definitely find a home here for a more aggressive version of the deck. Thank you so much for pointing that out!
