What you can't hit

One of my greatest frustrations with this game is how difficult it is to build a competent solo Protection aspect deck. Since many of my Protection cards can only be played during the villain phase, I decided Venom's Symbiotic Bond would be my best bet of paying for these cards. A lot of interesting interactions occur within this deck:

• Symbiotic Bond makes it very easy to pay for Black Widow's ability, Shake it Off, and Powerful Punch
• Symbiotic Bond + Defensive Energy make Powerful Punch and Grasping Tendrils nigh indistinguishable from free
• Bait and Switch triggers Spider-Sense and allows you to play defensive events during the player phase
• Grasping Tendrils, Behind Enemy Lines, and Shake if Off make it very hard for the villain to activate meaningfully.

This deck was able to beat the Mutant Genesis pretty easily if not for a bad draw on the last turn of Magneto. Overall, this was a fun deck for trying out a bunch of cards and combos!
