This is a design for a high cost ally deck using cards up through "War Machine" trying to deal as much damage as fast as possible. The idea is to put a bunch of high cost allies in with "Sneak Attack" and then pop off a "Last Stand" or "Go Down Swinging". Once you get economy built up you can play some of the allies straight up your 2nd time through the deck. This is probably best as a big combo damage deck in multiplayer/two-handed, running along side another more consistent anchor deck in protection or justice (as Thor is usually played multiplayer anyway). Or press your luck in solo to just try to knockout the villain before he/she finishes off the scheme or you. There are 4 proxies I'm using as stand ins until the cards are released.
Proxies include:
-Falcon = Captain America leadership ally from the Titan's box. Cap has the same stats and traits as well as resource, just remember he gets toughness entering play and he has a printed cost of 6. His cost of 6 is reduced by 1 for every avenger you control (including Thor but not Odinson). He will always "Go Down Swinging" for 6 damage.
-Yondu = Captain Marvel leadership ally from the War-Machine pack. She has Avenger trait, 5 cost, 2 thwart, 3 attack, and takes double consequential on attacks. I use Yondu as they share sphere and an energy resource. Her ability says when she comes into play discard four cards off the top of your deck. If you discard a printed energy resource deal 3 damage to an enemy and if you discard more than 1 printed energy resource, also stun that enemy. Wilds do not count for the discard as energy because you are not spending them but rather discarding and checking for the printed icon. She's also a good candidate to "Go Down Swinging" or to have a "Last Stand" because of the double consequential. She combos with Thor's energy resources.
-3x Sneak Attack = 3x United We Stand. There are no current 1 cost leadership events with a physical icon so I used this 0 cost event as a stand in. Just remember "Sneak Attack" is 1 cost and says to put an ally in play that shares a trait with your identity and discard it at the end of the phase. You can play this on either side of your identity for Asgardians or on the Thor side for Avengers. This is why high cost Asgardians and Avengers are included in the deck. "United We Stand" heals and this deck doesn't care about healing as allies are not sticking around, so with it's physical resource it's a good proxy.
-3x Go Down Swinging = 3x Call for Aid This is the big combo card in the deck and a beefed up version of "Last Stand". The proxy is perfect as they share cost and resource icon as well as sphere and even similar "in your face" art although this card is Iron Man rather than Spider-man. This card for 0 cost has a hero action that says to discard an ally you control to deal damage to an enemy equal to it's printed cost.
Some side-boarding options include to simply run 2x "Call for Aid" as it's non-proxy self, and perhaps proxy "Go Down Swinging" with "Get Ready" and cut the actual "Get Ready" altogether. Currently "Get Ready" serves as a means to get extra attacks from allies that won't be sticking around. The Black Panther leadership ally is another very viable option as are other heroes. I use Thor to share traits with Heimdall and resource needs with Captain Marvel.
