Saving Private Simon

This fall...Simon Williams is an Army of One...trapped behind enemy lines.

"You're probably wondering how I got here..."

But no man gets left behind...

"This operation is Cloak and Dagger! That Sentry won’t know what hit ‘em! Now...let's Ride!"

Johnny Blaze! Tyrone Johnson! Tandy Bowen! Robert Reynolds! And... Simon Williams in... Saving Private Simon!

“ …it’s a wonder how you made it out.”

“Say that again…”

New set released, which means new cards to splash for Wonder Man! Wait...card? Luckily, this card is a fantastic one.

Army of One gives Wonder Man a (mostly) unconditional ready in every aspect. I found Leading Blow a bit inconsistent as you would need to be ready and it was just for attacks. It is still a great way to reset Ionic Physiology, though. I also found EMH a bit to set up, same with "You Got This!" (although a mention on ygt at the end). Army of One over the three offers much more flexibility.

So, Simon got one more card to splash currently, but he also got a card that pairs incredibly well with his gameplan in Stealth Training. He has 3(!) different cards that he can ensure he perfect thwarts off a side scheme, with Active Altruism, Aerial Agility, and Everywhere All at Once. My favorite of the 3 is Aerial Agility, as it's an amazing tool that all but guarantees you trigger the stun.

On top of that…new fun allies! Ghost Rider and Cloak want ? Perfect for Wonder Man.

Army of One might look a little weird with Cloak, who really wants to hang around all game. Even at 2 cost, Army of One is worth it when you have Ionic strength stats. It's pretty bonkers at 1 cost though, so Cloak can always teleport away from defending an attack and show up again in the next go. The allies can always do a quick extraction to set up Army. The allies are all interchangeable as you like, though. Firebird, Quasar, Dazzler, ect. are all great subs if you prefer.

This is tuned for lower player counts currently, but does very well in larger MP. I would sideboard out One by One for Even the Odds to really handle threat, though.

There is a pretty cool (albeit expensive) combo Simon can do thanks to Cloak. I don't use it in this list but it's an option! Cloak can recur Dagger, which combos really well with needing a target for "You Got This!". Bring her in, use her activation, send her out. Repeat as much as you like.
