Thwarting For Days

Relentless Investigator

On the face of it, built-out well, JJ looks to be a thwarting machine. I've seen a few decks with plenty of player side schemes; I understand why, especially given some of her own cards, but I’ve tweaked that premise slightly to allow for more focus on villain and encounter side schemes.

I suspect this may work slightly better in Multiplayer, but happy enough this would be fine in Solo too.

Never tired

Have we ever had a hero who can flip-flop like this? Nope! That makes Ready to Rumble feel like a bargain. Drop down and recover if you need to, then pop back up to thwart; or hell, double thwart if you want. You do you, boo.

Given we'll try and buff her up to 7 Thwart basic with Innate Perception, Heroic Intuition, Heroic Conditioning and the one from Specialized Training gives 14 threat removal for 1 cost. That's the kind of efficiency my bank manager will be very happy to see.

Selected Side Schemes

I've not gone too overboard here. We do want some, so hopefully I've picked the ones that look most useful. Build Support back doors Quincarrier - this satisfies Lay Down the Law and our constant flipping.

Second Chance and Specialized Training speak for themselves.

How many Upgrades is too many?

Hey look, the first iteration of this deck had over 20! Apart from those aforementioned, Skilled Investigator makes huge sense and Grapnel Launcher turns us to a potential 3 cost for 21 threat removal. Hot damn. Whack a 3rd copy in if you want...tempting.

Events and Friends

Sentry and One Way or Another let's us dig for side schemes to bump up end game Alias Investigations shenanigans and Turn the Tide for some minion-bashing and newbie Squirrel Girl Mark II in yellow is a useful addition.

Endgame

So with all that, hopefully you'll rack up plenty of counters, control the board and all being well, your friends won't despise you too much for nerfing a multiplayer game...
