Introduction
After playing a few games with Doctor Strange (I am still a newbie) I felt like something is missing.
Leadership Strange was ok, but it was not my kind of play style.
So I tried silver Strange with The Power in All of Us. The idea was to setup a lot of supports/upgrades. I could definetely setup, but than I was missing raw power to close the game. Furthermore I noticed how bad Strange can handle minions, because occacional Magic Blast can be used to clear minions, but i would rather use it on the viallain instead. Same goes for Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.
So I thought it would be nice to add cards like Relentless Assault and Melee to help keep the boardstate under control.
This is how Aggression Strange was born.
Sidenote: I played MC only solo. I don't have any MP experience.
Deck-xplaining
If we look at the list, we can notice how it still is ally centered (9 allies). This is because, pretty much all my decks use this basic allies: Mockingbird, Nick Fury, Ironheart and Spider-Man. I think they add a lot of value to any deck.
The main reason for Aggression Strange was board control. For this mean I really like Tigra and Valkyrie.
Hulk right now is a filler. You can use him to close a game (since we have a lot of mental resources he has a high chance of getting discarded), I use him more as a cheap blocker.
Lockjaw is here for thwarting/blocking and because he can be used from the discard pile. He also is neat with another card in the deck. Later more on that.
Relentless Assault and Melee were the spark for the idea of this deck. Right now I use 2/2. Since I can cycle through the deck pretty quickly I never felt the need for more.
The Power of Aggression is here to help pay the other 7 red cards, or be used to pay for pesky villain attachments.
Helicarrier and Quincarrier need no explanation. I did not add Avengers Mansion because it is another 4 cost. The card is really good, but most of the time, I discarded it, because I had other cards to prioritize and we use The Sorcerer Supreme (I rellay like this card!).
Finishing of the basic lineup with Down Time and Endurance. I noticed that these cards are really helpful in solo, so I try to implement it in pretty much every deck i make.
Last but not least: Spiritual Meditation. Since it is only for Mistics I wanted to add this card no matter what. I really like it. It essencially makes the deck a 37 cards deck. This combos nice with Lockjaw as a discard (!) and is recyclable with Sanctum Sanctorum, if you have no better targets. It helps finding the cards you need.
Important cards
I find Cloak of Levitation is my MVP all the time. To be able to use Stranges Spell Mastery two times a row is incredible helpful, since Strange Invocation Deck adds a really good toolbox for any given situation. I want to find this card as fast as possible with Mystical Studies or Spiritual Meditation.
After that, I try to play Wong for Invocation cycling and/or The Sorcerer Supreme for a 6-card hand hero turn.
After this three cards I just play the game and react to the given situation.
You need to thwart? Try finding Astral Projection or Magical Enhancements (with Cloak of Levitation you could thwart for 6! and defend for 3 in the villain turn, if you need to) or if there are no other possibilities, play Lockjaw from the discard pile. Obvisouly you would play Images of Ikonn if on top of the Evocation Deck.
You need to answer the board? Try to find the aggression cards to bring the board under control.
Is all under control? Prepare the big hits with Magic Blast and Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.
You need to recover? Try to have Down Time and Endurance on the board and maybe the villain confused to prevent it from scheming.
Conclusion
At the moment I really like the deck, but since I am a new player, I only defeated Rhino Normal/Expert (First tries) and Klaw Normal/Expert (Normal second try and Expert first try).
For me it certainly felt more comfortable than Leadership Strange. But this is just personal taste :)
If you try this deck out, please leave a feedback.

Thanks for reading and stay safe!
I recommend Boot Camp with so many allies, especially Tigra.
