Goal to build a deck that features the current spotlit card: Sneak Attack

Sneak Attack is heavily explored, so finding hidden gems is tough. Rather than build a good deck I wanted to build a meme asking the question: How many times can we Sneak Attack in a turn?

Ms. Marvel + "Go for Champions!" + Readies allows to play Sneak Attack as many as 6 times.

GAME PLAN:

Build

We want EVERY upgrade and support we have on the board. We also want to have Ms. Marvel + Falcon on the board.

Set-up Turn

The turn before, we want to flip down to Alter-Ego play as many Assess the Situation as we can and prepare for the big turn.

Ideal Hand

Alter-Ego starts us with 6 cards + 1 from Jesse Alexander + 1 to 2 Connection to the Worldminds + 1 to 3 Assess the Situation + Champions Mobile Bunker letting us filter.

At the end of all of that we need "Go for Champions!" + 1 Sneak Attack + 6 Allies + 3 resources (no more than 1 double).

SNEAK ATTACK

At the start of this turn we should have 7 resources on board (including Helmet ready) and 3 resources in hand for a total of 10 resources

• "Go for Champions!" 7 resources remaining
• Sneak Attack 6 resources remaining + 5 allies remaining
• Ms. Marvel returns Sneak Attack
• Falcon to ready Ms. Marvel 5 resources remaining
• Sneak Attack 4 resources remaining + 4 allies remaining
• Ms. Marvel returns Sneak Attack
• Command Team to ready Ms. Marvel
• Sneak Attack 3 resources remaining + 3 allies remaining
• Ms. Marvel returns Sneak Attack
• Command Team to ready Ms. Marvel
• Sneak Attack 2 resources remaining + 2 allies remaining
• Ms. Marvel returns Sneak Attack
• Command Team to ready Ms. Marvel
• Sneak Attack 1 resources remaining + 1 allies remaining
• Ms. Marvel returns Sneak Attack
• Sneak Attack 0 resources remaining + 0 allies remaining

What did we actually accomplish?

FUN. All of the allies have an ability. The Damage and Thwart Potential can swing wildly based on whether you are Thwarting or Attacking with allies.

• Cloud 9, if all Aerial characters Thwart, is good for up to 6 THW in value.
• Captain Marvel has a good chance to do 3 damage and a decent chance to stun.
• Falcon let us look at the top 3 of the encounter deck and potentially remove up to 3 threat.
• Patriot gave Nova +1 to all stats.
• Vivian blanked a card.
• Thwart removal up to 23 (including Nova).
• Damage up to 18 (including Nova).

Side Notes

• Resourceful is a sleeper card for Nova. It being a resource in hand and on board should not be overlooked.
• 2 Sneak Attack is only there to help guarantee a Sneak Attack on the key turn. It can save you the need for a Ms. Marvel ready and instead be used on one of the allies you Snuck into the deck.
• Rapid Response would have a place in this deck if we weren't using the readies for Ms. Marvel. As built, none of our allies will actually be defeated to trigger Rapid Response. On that note: Patriot + Rapid Response is pretty sweet to get Nova stats high on a big Unleash Nova Force turn.
• This deck would have to be played Multi-Player, its not surviving solo.
