Play Misty For Me

Overview

Misty Knight has an interesting combo with Righteous Purpose and Defensive Formation. A tough Misty with one hit point remaining has 5 ATK and 5 THW. This deck is a fun attempt to keep her in play with tough and lots of readies. Jessica Jones in Leadership has some tools to find and play Misty early and keep her in play.

Theme

Unfortunately, in the comics, Jess and Misty don’t really like each other. Usually because of Luke. Or because the police often clash with PI's. In any case, they’ll have to work together here to defeat the scenario. This comic excerpt has Jess trying hard to ask Misty for a favor:

Play Misty For Me

Jess can find Misty through her Calling in Favors support, Suit Up, finishing the Call for Backup side scheme, or even Make the Call if Misty is in the discard pile.

Misty Knight enters play with tough, and she has boosted stats when tough. If she has one hit point remaining, then Righteous Purpose boosts her stats even more. So let’s keep her in play with tough and one damage, exhaust to ATK or THW, ready her with Get Ready or Command Team, make her tough again with Defensive Formation or Ready for Action, then activate again. Rinse and repeat with +4 ATK or +4 THW per activation. Add another +1 by attaching Inspired to her. If Stick is around, he can help too, since Misty is a Martial Artist.

It's easy enough to make her take that one damage so she can get the full stat boost from Righteous Purpose. (Attacking an enemy with Retaliate 1 while Tough makes it faster.) It may take a few turns to set this all up, but it’s satisfying when it works.

If Misty ever gets defeated by consequential damage, keep her in Med Lab until the next turn.

Use the signature ally Luke Cage to take some of the hits from the villain. Give him toughness as necessary through his ally action. He can also get toughs and readies from the same cards used for Misty.

Alternate Cards

• Teamwork or Unified Strike to add Jessica and Misty’s stats together. Misty can keep her toughness with Teamwork.
• Moxie to boost Jessica’s stats with her free hero card flip.
• Hellcat can be played for free if Jessica is in hero form. Patsy can use some readies if there are extras before she leaves.
• Valkyrie can keep Misty in play with one hit point remaining. Misty will then need a new tough status card.
• Add Basic resources for currency, instead of The Power of Leadership
• Rapid Response instead of Med Lab, but the one damage gets rid of Tough.

Notes

• Tested for solo and multiplayer with some expert Fear No Evil scenarios. Nothing too difficult, but it's been fun.
• Adding more allies can make the deck stronger, but the focus is on Misty.

TLDR

Voltron Misty Knight is tough and hits hard.
