Gunnhilde

Designed as a multiplayer aggression deck with any other teammates being the primary thwarters.

One of the biggest issues with Valkyrie is her 1 defense before getting the Valkyrie's Spear. Even if she does have 12 HP. So, we have a lot of cheap/tough allies to help with this defense. Additionally, we have included The Bifrost to allow us to get allies into play even if they aren't in our hands (reducing the effective resource cost).

Speaking of the Valkyrie's Spear, it's a weapon that doesn't doesn't need to be exhausted to be effective. Beyond the spear, Dragonfang is another weapon that is effective that doesn't exhaust. So, the new Firepower card seems to be made for Valkyrie. To help facilitate Firepower, we have included an additional 4 weapons. None of the added weapons are restricted. We also have a copy of Locked and Loaded to help us find a weapon. Finally, we also have one copy of Warrior Skill to help with Firepower. When we have 3 weapons out, one counter of Warrior Skill will add 3 damage to it for a single counter. You can effectively get 9 damage for 2 resources over time.

Let's go over weapon/ally choices. The two copies of Pulse Grenade are two weapons that can just sit on the board and enable Firepower. We also have two copies of Sidearm. These can sit on some allies and be exhausted for Firepower. I would recommend adding it to Bug and Tigra as they can stay out indefinitely and enjoy the enhanced damage. Throg can usually get tough and Thor starts with a tough. If you just use Hulk for blocking, he can usually block 2 villain hits or 3 minion hits. Angela is just there for you to summon a minion which can help with Flight of the Valkyrior, Throg, and Blood Rage. Since we have 12 in-deck upgrades and all 6 of our weapons are upgrades, we have Yellow Jacket to hopefully help us find a weapon.

Finally, we have Blood Rage to help us draw cards when we kill minions. This is great because of Aragorn giving us an extra 4 HP. We also have added the new Aggressive Conditioning for 3 more HP and more attack.

Hope you try the deck (with a thwarting partner) and have some fun with Valkyrie.
