The Bestest Defense

I suspect there's going to be a lot of decks built around In Harm's Way. It might be the best Protection card we've seen in a long time. It's similar to "Stop Hitting Yourself", except it's way better, because you don't have to make a successful defense for it to deal damage PLUS it removes threat too. The biggest difference is you use it during your phase instead of during the enemy phase.

Many heroes can build this card around it. I've already seen a few. I chose Hulkling because he is built with defense in mind with Armored Shape and Armored Defense.

This isn't just a deck that defends endlessly, pinging the villain one or two points a turn. Once you everything set up, you can get your Defense between 7-8 points easily, and if you get super lucky you can easily get to 10 with three The Best Offense.... Then use any of your five damage cards to ruin the Villain's day while he can't deal damage to you in return.

Plus, you can use all of that defense to either attack for a huge amount or remove a bunch of threat with The Best Offense....

Everything else is just for extra juice while you defend, like any other defend forever decks. Ops Room could be really good at the beginning while you're setting everything up, helping you keep yourself healed up and removing the threat you slowly accumulate early.

Note: Playing Wiccan isn't worth it unless you desperately need a card. All of the new cards want you to have no allies.
