If we could do the Forced Deployment, Visionary could Brain Burn away the stack of Minions, so the Deployment won’t put any minions out at all…
Aside from that, I’d recommend a Kraken on top…
If you put a Kraken on top we will be rid of all but one minion. However, we likely become targets the next round. If you do the Collasped Hall then Setback is taking 24 damage and he only has 6 he can redirect.
Bear in mind that I have Wrong Time and Place out, so I will either take or redirect the first damage to heroes each turn. I can save up to redirect the Brain Burn damage.
EDIT: Assuming the Crushing Hallway doesn't kill me first. I vote for the Kraken, and then we can take out at least one of the Krakens next round.
Kraken and Forced Deployment on top seem like winners now.
Edit: so when the Kraken attack they should leave Vyktor alone. That way we have no damage coming this turn and Voss won't have any minions giving him DR outside of playing on advanced.
Dark Watch Expatriette
HP: 22
Hand: Quick Draw, Arsenal Access, Reload x2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start
Play: Arsenal Access - Reveal Flak Jacket and "Pride". I put Flak Jacket into play and shuffle
Power: Tactical Shotgun - deal 3 projectile damage to Gene-Bound Shock Infantry[x]
Draw: "Pride"
End

HP: 22
Hand: Reload x2, Quick Draw, "Pride"
Play: Tactical Shotgun, Flak Jacket
Trash: Arsenal Access
Effects: If Expatriette would be dealt 3 or more damage from a single source, prevent all of it and destroy this card
The Flak Jacket should still be in play by Unity's turn who is more then welcome to turn it into a Golem.
Not sure I agree - we might want to avoid having Voss flip, which means leaving one Minion (not Vyktor) alive.
That's right. Hmm guess the firesworn should be left then. Best if we can kill him before the brainburn
Concur with general thoughts.
Villain deck - Forced Deployment on top and TGF Stalwart on bottom.
Environment - Kraken on top and Hallway Collapse and Kraken on bottom.
I take the plan for this round is that Setback will redirect Brain Burn damage (if possible) and that Brain Burn will be used to pot the minion pile back under the deck to leave nothing for Forced Deployment to bring into play.
So we'll have the two Krakens take out Vyktor and the Bionaut, leaving the Firesworn.
I think I have enough tokens in my Lucky Pool to afford redirecting its damage; I think I'll send it to a Kraken, and maybe punch the Kraken myself as well, depending on Unity's schemes for that Flak Jacket.
Well, the Flak Jacket would look mighty nice on Swift Bot. I can either get Swift out this turn or I can play Flash Forge and delay a little bit, but have a better selection. That would be entirely up to the owner of the gear.
The flak jacket is open for use on a golem.

The damage to Unity is actually redirected. Setback discards 2 tokens from his Unlucky Pool to push it to a Kraken (the more recent one).
We might want to leave the Firesworn alive to provide a target for the Kraken. Can we kill one of them, in fact? I can do at least 2 damage, Brain Burn (redirected) will provide 5, and then Ex-Patriette can do another 4. I'm going to be building up my Unlucky Pool as much as I can.
