This deck quickly builds itself to 3 or 4 sites, then abuses interactions with Ejector Seat Malfunction.

Most of the time you'll use it on your own hitters to dodge removal, or to generate a strong combo. 

You want to discard aggressively at the start of the game to achieve a consistent opening. There are multiple ways to have 3 or 4 power gen on turn 3.

The biggest combo you can hit is Melissa Aguelera + CB Radio + Sidekick + ESM+ Secret Warrior Training Camp. Gives all of your guys tactics, +4 fighting, +2 damage when they (re)enter play and +1 fighting.
