With two wins under my belt I was feeling pretty darn cocky. I was a little worried since my opponent has Corvus Glaive + Reality Gem & Proxima Midnight who sound super scary.
My opponent Von streamed the game 
if you prefer to watch.
Preparation
- I won priority

- Proxima Midnight uses Rocket Boots + Drop Off with Corvus (and Reality Gem) on my right side.
- Nebula moves last and does 1 damage to Proxima
- Corvus does 1 damage to Loki and grabs a citizen
- Note that Corvus went last because he didn’t have / didn’t want to spent the power on Proxima Midnight to activate Corvus due to Loki’s ability

What I Learned
- I had a feeling Corvus & Proxima would be a problem and boy were they.
- Try to play objectives that are far apart against them. If you can force an opponent to leave Proxima sitting on a point that’s hugely helpful
- Loki can be helpful to make their chain activations harder to pull off
- Any counters to Proxima & Corvus need to have some hit points. Otherwise, they’re going down fast.
- I predict 50% of the top tables at the end of this tournament will use Corvus & Proxima.
- Wakanda Forever is great. In one turn I had 3 characters dazed.
- I can use my Asgardian leadership better by activating a healthy character and using the leadership ability on a different character.
- Valkyrie did great against Shuri & Okoye.
- Using Thor to put strategic Shocks on key characters is amazing
- Origin Bombs is great for Asgard. A few times my opponent couldn’t flip the origin bomb back.
