Wasp - Though to hurt

Wasp doesn't need to stand still and defend. This deck keeps Nadia moving, changing size and staying incredibly difficult to hurt.

Protection provides multiple ways to gain Tough without relying on basic defenses. Come Get Me, Bub! pulls a minion from the encounter deck, heals 3 damage and gives Nadia a tough status card, turning an enemy into an opportunity rather than a problem.

Establish Perimeter provides another source of Tough while enabling Anticipated Attack, allowing Nadia to gain Tough as an enemy initiates an attack. Toughen Up adds another option after recovering, while Perseverance rewards her natural form-changing game plan.

Deflection gives the deck strong multiplayer utility, preventing up to 5 damage from any identity. Nadia is particularly comfortable with its discard cost thanks to her alter-ego ability, which can recycle Mental-resource cards back into her deck.

But this is still Wasp, not a traditional Protection tank. Rapid Growth lets Nadia change to Giant form during a basic activation and gain +2 to that power, while Pinpoint Strike, Giant Help and Wasp Sting allow her to keep attacking and controlling the board.

Her Genius trait also gives her access to Moon Girl, providing another source of card draw alongside a group of efficient allies that keeps this event-heavy deck moving.

The goal isn't to make Wasp invincible. It's to give her just enough protection to keep doing what she does best:

Change size. Stay mobile. And make the enemy try to hit you again.
