Valkyrie Turbo-Minion-Draw

Why is Val at the bottom of everyone's tier list? I agree with D20 Woodworking, Val is the greatest! Some people lament that Val doesn't have many resources. As long as there are minions, she gets cards like candy.

Basic Deck:

Angela, 3x "Bring It!", 3x Looking for Trouble, Hall of Heroes, The Bifrost

Real Play Example: Last game, Val drew 14 cards on the 2nd round:

1st round: Hall of Heroes + Valhalla

2nd round: She had 1 minion already in play. She started with 5 cards.

Chooser of the Slain = 7

Angela

"Bring It!" = 10

Death-Glow + Attacks to kill all 3 minions

triggered Valhalla = 11

triggered Hall of Heroes = 14.

You should be able to trigger Valhalla every round. In a 4-player game, you can trigger Hall of Heroes almost every round. I'd say every round, Val will easily draw more than 8 cards.

Chooser of the Slain is such a good card, because you can pick the minion ==> pick an easy target, then bring Chooser back, then pick the same easy target... She normally has big turns because you can get Chooser back with Visit Valhalla. 3x "Bring It!" makes big hands easy. Annabelle Riggs can also get you an extra card, if you're flipping. As long as you're flipping, may as well throw Death-Glow on the Villain and smack him before you flip to detach it... Racing through your deck gets you all those cards back real fast. It’s too easy.

The allies are no-brainer.
You should be able to keep Bug up indefinitely. Add Energy Spear and Boot Camp, and Bug hits for 4 every round. I leave Annabelle Riggs out forever as well ==> more cards. You could add Shatterstar if you have X-23.

Options

Dive Bomb is a no-brainer, but you could add a second or third if you like... You probably don't need Boot Camp or Energy Spear; I just like them. Lots of room to fiddle with this basic deck. Soaring Acrobatics is optional: it just adds 1 damage/round. It can help take down a harder minion, or you can use it with Shieldmaiden to block a big hit.
