The Meat Grinder

Deck title "The Meat Grinder" is courtesy of Autumn, who called it that during our game at Con of Heroes 2025. Thanks Autumn!

This deck does exactly that -- grind up your enemies! Here's how:

STEP ONE
Get your attack really high. Like, REALLY high. Your base is 1, +2 X-23's Claws, +2 Claw Mastery, +1 Combat Training, +1 Symbiote Suit, +2 Hand Cannon, +2 Godslayer, +2 Skilled Strike, +2 Directed Force = 15 damage

STEP TWO
Ready up. Either Grim Resolve or Honey Badger will do the trick.

STEP THREE
Repeat.

Minions will draw you cards with Blood Rage, Bug will heal every turn, and although Honey Badger won't last long, Sisterhood will get her back soon enough.

This deck counters anything the villain might do to slow you down. Avoid retaliate with overkill from Hand Cannon or use the damage to ready yourself. Pierce through tough statuses with Adamantium Lacing. Take attacks with your HUGE health pool from Symbiote Suit and heal up consistently with Pain Tolerance, Regenerative Healing, Suppressing Fire, and Moment of Triumph. Even a stun won't slow you down for long.

In multiplayer, you can handle any minion that hits the table, plus chunk down the villain's huge health pool. If your teammates want to ready/heal Honey Badger, you can grind again and again. In solo, you can rush to a win, or use Animal Instinct, Bug, and Honey Badger to control the threat as needed.

Mulligan Priorities: Pain Tolerance, Grim Resolve, and Honey Badger or Sisterhood
