Gwenpool was a joke character that loves comic books and can manipulate the Marvel Universe by doing things like jumping panels and such.
Thanks for sharing that, I've never been into comics/MCU, always a card nerd, but since playing snap I've found myself appreciating all of it for the first time.
@@jakethasnake3524Same brother
Gwenpool will require some unique deck building. If you can empty your hand other than Black Panther, that makes him a 5-20. Do that with Brood and now you have a 3-24. Adding 6 power to some cards could be incredible
That would be so hard to pull off
@@GodzillathekingKongbane i am thinking of zoo bounce decks, with beast cost reduction. Its propably need perfect draws, but how fun can be turn 4 you play gwen with only 1 other card in your hand (beast) buff it up with 6 power then on turn 5 you can do a gwen again for 3 energy with some other cards you beasted back to your hand.
Docty NEVER ceases to get me excited for new cards!!
my king 👑
You 2 are just like Corlys and Viserys.
The point with Ajax is to know if it counts cards afflicted by on reveals or one time effects from locations wether there's a Luke Cage or not. Because Luke Cage works meanwhile his Ongoing ability is working, but the affliction on cards doesn't dissapear, it's just there, latently blocked by the Luke Cage ability. If it counts those cards, then you can put him in the classic toxic hazmat deck, having a really impressive finisher.
I think Cassandra Nova will have yet a spotlight, no matter if she's in the Deadpool's Dinner.
Luke Cage turns off Evolved Abomination's ability. Evolved Abomination is worded exactly the same way as Ajax. Therefore, Luke Cage will turn off Ajax's ability. It's really simple, dude.
@@ydgmdlu Thanks, mate! You're a total gent
Copycat stealing Galactus card text and dropping down on turn three 😂
Sure, it’s hugely unlikely but could happen. Great fun for the chaos card enjoyers 👍
Perfect fit Mill. She basically Cable without having to play her
@@spystar18she’s a better zemo
@@jiyagixflows7119 Now that you mention it...
@@jiyagixflows7119how is she a better Zemo when Zemo gives you more stats and bodies on the board?
I feel like there's a huge gap between ajax and Bob vs copycat and cassandra. At least I know who to prioritise
Another interesting thing to think about with Copycat is that you can force a shuffle of your opponents deck. So Cable, Korg, Rockslide, Baron etc will make their deck shuffle and they may still draw the dud card. I am also guessing that Cassandra's ability forces a shuffle. So maybe there is a Surfer synergy with those 3 drops working together. Ripping power and abilities right out of the deck.
Cable and Baron Zemo don't shuffle your opponent's deck. Nothing in Cassandra's text suggests that shuffling happens. Only abilities/effects that say "shuffle" actually do, and Lockjaw does as well.
most of these cards i'll look forward to playing with when i play loki or arishem and generate them.
Love the energy with the channel 🔥Just my own opinion here with the cards from Best to worst this season:
1. Cassandra nova- counters Arishem basically. She’ll have a lot of power, Shang chi her.
2. Copy cat- pray she doesn’t copy the text of infinaut, electro, or destroyer because if so you’re screwed lmao
3. Ajax- Prepare for a lot of high evolutionary and Luke cage.
4. Gwen Pool just…. Idk lol
5. Hydra Bob (awful card) so damn pointless it’s stupid, do NOT waste 6000 tokens on Bob.
I personally wouldn’t even waste my time on this season unfortunately, not to be negative. If i were to get the cards, I’d stick with Cassandra, and ajax, and if I really wanted to, copy cat. These cards are gonna go south quick.
You are right, Casandra nova is going to be crazy against Arishem. Casandra, Darkhawk, Mystique...those cards are going to be insane(r) soon.
Gwenpool will see play in Zoo to maximise her buff, as you said... If you play her with too expensive cards because you are not able to play them maybe.
Exited for Copy Cat and Cassandra.
gwenpool seems just good, no? didnt think much deep about her but 4/12 default stats and you can still pair it up with brood and ironman
That means your playing a turn 5 brood, she costs too much for her effect to be reliable.
@@user-tn6pe3qw3g 5 or 6, plus u can have sera and drop it for 2 mana, that doesnt mean its not worth it
It’s not a guaranteed 4/12 because you still have to play out the cards. The problem is the ability is pretty niche and the cards that would really be synergistic with her are too. Surfer seems like a decent fit but those decks have to be crafted very precisely for an effect like this to get to that 4/12 default stat line. The other cards that benefit might be black panther, iron man, and nimrod of which the best deck you can probably make would be a black panther/nimrod zola deck but even that would be clunky as you could play gwen w both in hand and not be guaranteed to hit either.
I agree she is just good and she will open up new archetype, like blackpanther with more cards that like getting buffed, good cards till 4 then blackpanther zola etc
For Ajax, I’m cooking something up with the possibility of an early Luke, then do a Hazmat and Ajax on 6? Maybe figure out some Wong, mystique, magik combo
Only going for copy cat cz idk how she would be bad stealing the text just by drawing the card meaning you don't have to build around her you can just have her in many decks and also I'm missing all three cards so I would need all four keys so I like that I don't care about both ajax and bob.
Ajax sound like he work so well with a toxic high evo deck
Was my first thought when I saw the card.
I think the hype around her is just cuz she’s a cool character, that’s why I’m excited for her and a 4/12 seems impossible to be bad
Gwenpool was introduced in a Deadpool series, so, besides her being a joke character with kind of meta powers, that's the connection between the two.
As for the ratings.... while I agree with most, I really do think that Bob is a bad card. Card that can move at the high risk of a snap that also your opponent can control? No thanks I'll just get Jeff.
It's a bit of a stretch to say that Gwenpool was "introduced" in a Deadpool series. At the time, she was not even a character, just a gag for a variant book cover. When she became an actual character in the Marvel universe, she was given her own series. That's the true introduction of the character.
Saving for September and October spiderman and then symbiote. with the new activate I want to get them all
I think Docty went too hard on Gwenpool flexibility. she should be at least 2 stars.
Flexibility means how the card can be added in different decks, and Gwenpool doesn't hurt any decks (except Cerebro) so she can be played in any deck just to have bonus powered cards on T5/T6. If not the floor is 4/6 which is decent. She can also be great in Zoo style decks, Synergizes with Mysterio, Sasquatch, Brood. If you hold the 1 drops and play T4 Wong, T5 GP, those 1 drops are gonna be huge. Psylocke+Wong+GP. I can see "buffed Zoo" style decks appear with her & Phastos.
All these cards are cracked even Ajax if u play with Cassandra cause your own Luke might keep his power maybe and all the other cards in spotlight are also so good
That's not how Luke works.
I think Gwen will find a home somewhere, because on Turn 4 if you're playing on curve, it's almost certain that something you've been keeping in your hand will be worth playing later, and lots of cards have good synergies with getting buffed. She's also just so many stats that it feels like something will want to play her. Might be a good throw in to Arishem as well.
Hydra Bob seems interesting but I dunno. Seems like a zoo card that encourages you to make risky snaps, and zoo fills locations anyway. Feels underwhelming. 1/4 that moves once just isn't that strong right now even without the additional risk.
I think Ajax would be awesome if he were something like a 3/2, or a 2/1 instead of a 4/4. Toxic decks could really use him, but they want to play Wong on turn 4, not something like ajax. I have a feeling he will eventually find a home in high evo, but not until they implement some more of their planned changes.
Copycat is going to be really good. Very confident on that.
I think Cassandra Nova will be fine. Maybe even really good. It's already the worst when someone plays scorpion against you, and I'm sure someone will abuse her with grandmaster or something.
Overall I think these cards look a little underwhelming and I'm hopeful that they get buffed a little so July isn't a boring month. However, worst case scenario is I just save a lot of keys for august, which looks amazing.
Nobody has explained why Copycat will be good. They just insist that she will be. She sounds like a more expensive Cable, and Cable is not a generically good 2-Cost card.
I am super excited for hydra bob definitely the card I’m most excited for
I'm excited about Copycat and intend to spend 4 keys that week (I don't have Thanos), but the other cards don't excite me that much. Gwenpool has handbuff synergy and there are now a solid number of cards that benefit from handbuffs. Is it enough to carry an archetype? I don't think so
Cassandra Nova will be unlockable through deadpools diner through a variant unlock and will also be in the spotlight caches
I believe base Cassandra Nova AND her variant will be unlockable through the event, no?

@@docty_snap Not sure where he got his info but I hope he's correct. However, the roadmap states "Make your way all the way up to the biggest plate and you’ll unlock a brand new card, Cassandra Nova"
@@ethanvaughan8282the developers already clarified on Discord that the base card will be unlocked at a lower point on the event ladder.
Totally agree. The first time i saw copycat ability, I just think she will spy opponent deck and hand!! Let's put her in every deck and make my opponent confuse about why I snap?
How does Copycat "spy" on your opponent's hand?
@@ydgmdluin conquest mode, if you know what the bottom of opponent's deck so that you would know what card on their hand at turn 6. In high level play, that information is such insane bro
@@ItsJustNguyenno, you don't understand how it works at all. "Bottom card" does NOT mean the card that is drawn on turn six. It means the card that is never drawn in a typical game. In a six-turn game, there will be three cards left in deck by the end; in a seven-turn game, there will be two cards left. How did you not know this? Did you just start playing? The only cards that let you "spy" on your opponent's hand are Mirage, White Queen, and Spider-Ham.
@@ydgmdlu you do not mean what I say bro🤣. Just make it simple, she is snap condition alright? Bless you
Respectfully I have never opposed somebody's opinions so much. Literally ever card I have the opposite view on its so crazy
That's the fun of trying to predict new cards! 😀
What are your thoughts on Copycat (my highest prediction) and Ajax (my lowest predi)?
@@docty_snap I believe copycat will be a very plug and play card but might be hard for her to find success out of maybe mill and Loki. And ajax I think is going to be a nice puzzle piece that myself as a affliction deck lover thinks is very exciting to build around. I think he's going to fall closer in line with Gilgamesh then you think but like the opposite version.
Its going to be zabu or psylocke into wong into gwenpool for +12 power... Even without zabu or psylocke playing wong on 4 and gwenpool on 5 is still a really strong play.
Couldn't you just play bigger combos on Wong? Namora, Ironheart, Surfer, Hazmat, etc.
Wong has so many huge potential combos - why is Gwenpool worth it for Wong?
I mean if you can pull off the scorpion into Cassandra, Ajax should be juiced. Unless they play Luke.
i doubt the thanos and cull obsidian happens as they were packaged together last time
Cassandra is clearly a response (counter) to Arishem.
And yeah i also see the copycat nerf incoming, way to strong like this imo.
How is Copycat too strong? The ability seems mediocre. The stealing is really not as good as you think it is, and the card has no synergies with any existing archetype except Silver Surfer and maybe mill. It doesn't create a new archetype either. It's not generically useful like Nocturne or Red Guardian, and it is not a tech card. It pretty much is just a more expensive Cable, and Cable is not good outside of Loki and mill.
Copycat seems pretty good but the 3 drop spot for a lot of decks is soooo tight. I'll be interested to see of shes better than nocturne or red guardian in most decks
I guarantee you that she won't be. She's not disruptive like Red Guardian or provide move and location control like Nocturne. Most of the time, you'll just play her purely for stats as a 3/5 with the upside of information (though your opponent will see what they aren't going to draw), and sometimes she'll just be unplayable.
Ajax going into scorpion, man thing, us agent and spider woman BOOM!
Ajax is a 5-cost now, so that game plan won't work
Is Bob good
@Docty Two questions I have:
(1) Does Hydra Bob move after every turn if there was a snap before but not in that current turn? If I snap turn 1 does he keep moving around like Silk until the end of the game?
(2) Luke Cage's ability is "Ongoing: Your cards can't have their power reduced." So is there a possibility that your Typhoid Mary/Ajax combo could work if Luke is played turn 6? Which Ongoing ability takes priority? Ajax's or Luke's?
I can answer these questions.
1) Bob will move a maximum of twice per game because the game only recognizes the first time that a player snaps.
2) Luke Cage always takes priority. He doesn't prevent Warpath/Namor/Orca from being turned off, so he won't help Ajax.
@@ydgmdlu Awesome! Thanks for the info!
I'm thinking Grandmaster/Phastos/Gwenpool/Shaw can actually become an engine in the game once she releases what do you guys think?
Sounds terrible. Grand Master is still not good. Phastos is not good. You have no time to play everything that you listed, and Shaw becomes subject to a ton of RNG unlike the current Silver Surfer decks.
Im excited for Copycat. Obviously you could get some terrible RNG and steal the Destroyer text lol. But, most of the time, even if the ability you steal is a dud, you still played a 3-5 that got you some valuable information
She grabs the ability on draw. So if you get Destroyer's text, you don't even have to play her. While the opponent may now have a safe 6/16 to play, they likely built a deck around Destroyer to begin with, so its still a valuable steal.
@@ryugami yeah I agree. But now you probably have an unplayable card in hand 😂. So, the card looks fantastic, but it isn't always gonna be a banger
Ajax shouldn’t lose his buffs with luke cage. The cards are still inflicted. It’s just that their stats aren’t lowered, so Ajax will still work. At least this is how I believe it will work based on how mechanics in the game function.
I believe afflicted is looking at current visible stats - if you hit your opponents cards with negative power and then they play Luke Cage, your High Evo evolved Abomination won't get discounted?
That is my understanding. But if I'm wrong then Ajax does seem a lot better with that interaction.
@@docty_snap If that's the case, then I agree with point that it's a one-star card. Because otherwise, why not just play Cull obsidian or even crossbones? You'll likely have the same amount of stats.
Agreed. I'm hoping you're right and he could still get powered up with Luke Cage on board; if not he seems useless.
I just want to play Selene turn 1, Scorpion turn 2, and Cassandra turn 3. I'm not claiming it's meta, I'm claiming that's my kind of fun lol. Maybe Iron Lad into an Odin hahaha 🤣.
Now eat these Goblins 😂
Just my opinion, but I think if Copycat’s stats is lower than 3/5, she will be a bad card.
She looks good now cause that stats makes her floor decent, if she loses the stats she will usually end up been an unplayable card cause you can’t control what text she will steal.
Normally, there are just few cards serves as a “key winning condition” in one deck, so the chance to steal exactly that card is not high.
For the current stats, I think Copycat is just a fine card. I don’t think she is good enough to compete with Nocturne or Red Gradient, but yes, she will be a good cube stealing card.
Gwenpool with a deadpool and panther zola package? 😅 idk
Gwenpool and Copycat other than that it time to pass for September/October seasons
Gwenpool is a jacked version of Iron Heart. She will be ridiculous in Wong decks.
Ironheart and Gwenpool both give +2 Power 3 times, but Ironheart hits cards already on the board so you always see the power come down.
What if you Wong+Gwenpool but then can't play all the cards she buffed?
@@docty_snap It could prompt using Zabu and Psylocke to cheat out Gwen or Wong on turn 3. Similar to the Wong/Surfer decks with Mr. Negative.
Run Sera and Magik to extend the game so you can dump out 3 cards on turn 7. The potential is there, much like Phastos it's all dependent on getting it out on curve.
Maybe, but if we are going for full exodia combo stuff then Wong > Surfer/Hazmat > Odin just seems more consistently powerful to me.
I saw someone like this video!
Thanos should kill half of your opponents team when you snap
Copycat seems like she can’t possibly be bad 😊
She's Cable without having to play her. But you can decide if you need to. Drawing her has an effect on its own
Yeah, I hear the arguments people are making against Copycat, but I just can't see this card being bad. I'm pulling her day 1.
It could be bad against Arishem
It's funny how many people also said that Phastos "can't possibly be bad."
@@ydgmdlu he’s not bad, just solid. They can’t all be meta definers
If you play Ajax on 5, and Hazmat on turn 6 with a full board on both sides, wouldn’t Ajax have the potential to be a 5 cost 28 power card? Isn’t that good?
But you're stealing power away from your other cards. That's removing 11 power from your board to give Ajax 11 power - net zero power.
The only real benefit is Aiax gaining power from hitting your opponent's cards and however many they play will vary.
@@docty_snapzoo wee mama, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking of it as more of a shift in power
@@Crisis_Avertdstealing Power from your own cards is why Typhoid Mary is bad outside of Sauron decks. So if Typhoid Mary is bad, then Hazmat + Ajax is also bad, though a little better than Mary because he gets powered up by your opponent's board.
Thanks for the info Docty. There's no way we are getting a free card. The amount of farming you would need to do 😂
The max reward is for the variant. You get the free card much earlier - it's genuinely free and their are event floors to prevent losing points in the event🙂
This video explains Deadpool's Diner well and rewards system:
ua-cam.com/video/2e5E332AIY4/v-deo.htmlsi=zMeTii59u_42F8B_
Luke cage prevents your cards from having their power lowered. If you raise ajax's power with typhoid Mary, it shouldn't be reduced when you push Luke Cage.
That's not how Luke Cage works with Ongoing effects. If a card gains Power due to an Ongoing ability, Luke Cage will NOT prevent that gained Power from being lost if the Ongoing ability is turned off. Play Luke with Warpath and Namor and see what happens.
Hope they keep giving a free series 5 card each season...
The acquire system is awful, ive been playing since day one and i dont even have galactus yet xd
The last time they gave out a free card was Kitty Pryde last year - I don't think they keep giving out free cards each season.
From a business standpoint, spending time & money on creating new cards that are given out for free doesn't seem like something you want to do often.
wasnt Ajax just datamined as a 5/5?
Yeah it was changed in the datamines this last patch, seems like Docty didn't see it

@@babonhijau1665 TY
Ajax is a 5/5
Honestly the OTAS are a double edged sword. They kill cards you've dropped 6k and they're like SORRY NOT SORRY , and then when a card is under/OP they're like "we were incompetent in the balancing department and we want more money" BUFF 😂 pretty scummy imo. They're always safe and they have no accountability. It's such a cheap safe net but then again on the flip side some cards that need love do get it like vulture or Herc
Your argument makes no sense. So they nerf the strong cards because they want your money, but they buff weak cards (some of which are newer) as well as old Series 1/2/3 cards even though it doesn't make them more money? And what accountability do you want? If you feel entitled to refunds for nerfs, then what should be done with buffs to make everything fair? Should they charge you money or in-game resources when they buff cards? You don't know how to formulate a coherent thought. You only know how to complain.
@ydgmdlu @ydgmdlu accountability meaning they can release unbalanced cards and then simply say oops! Well fix that. It's more incompetence in the balancing department. I wasnt actually expecting a refund I'm saying they don't care if they make a card strong/weak cause they can simple tweak it as opposed to physical card games that require a bit more thought and foresight.
That's why I said double-edged sword because they do buff weaker/older cards. Gilgamesh was just an example of a buff for money and Blob/RH can be seen as big miss in initial balancing. Even Zabu was a season pass they got their money and now he's dead. You don't think anything is wrong with that? Shows me no foresight especially knowing he was -2 before lmao
Ajax is now a 5/5 for everyone that didn’t know.
They made him worse? There must be some reason in testing but it has even slightly good everyone just tecks in Luke Cage or Rogue.
I'm probably skipping that week even though I also don't own Bill. Too many other great cards to get.
Is it possible that cards are still technically inflicted even when Luke cage is out? Only way Ajax makes sense.
That is possible and I may have been misunderstanding how he powers up🤔
@@docty_snaponly reason I think this might be possible is because if you were to enchant Luke the game would revert those cards back,right? So the game still has memory of their negative power. It will be interesting to see!
Yes, how that interaction works with Ajax will be a huge factor for how good he is or not.
This isn’t the case with Evo Abom when your opponent drops Luke Cage (he loses his cost discount) so I don’t think it could possibly be different for Ajax.
@@nilliam.mycelium good point. Didn’t realize it said inflicted in its text. Well I got nothing then 😂
Rip nakia
bob > snap > miles , 2 mana 10 power lfgggggggggggg!!!
Gwenpool was much better when dhe was the lower cost but i guess there's ways around it like zabu and psylocke to get her out sooner. With that said ill get her because she has potential. Hydra bob looks unplayable besides maybe in zoo decks. He was better st 2/5 with that other ability. I think ajax should be great for toxic decks or high evo. Copy cat is interesting and might be my favorite card in the boxes next season. But I'm not sure if she's as great as you think.
Ajax as he is right now is possibly the worst card of the year.
she was a 3 3 so she could have been played early and was a 3 9
hear me out: gwenpool moon girl zoo. she turns mysterio into a 2/6 and two 2/2s. you build it to have a low curve with lots of tokens. something like
(1) hood
(1) nico minoru
(1) iceman
(1) squirrel girl
(2) dazzler
(2) goose
(2) armor
(2) mysterio
(3) shanna
(4) moon girl
(4) gwenpool
(5) mockingbird
fill up the board a little on turns 1-3, and set up your hand with cheap stuff to duplicate (mysterio, mockingbird, dazzler, demon are all good targets). squirrel girl and shanna to discount mockingbird. gwenpool on 4, moon girl on 5 is ideal, but it’s also ok to do them in the other order, or if you just get one and not the other.
i play similar lists (i’ve gotten to infinite multiple times with a deck that swaps out this gwenpool package for sunspot + she-hulk) and i think this will be a serious upgrade. the best part about the strategy is that you hide a huge amount of stats in your hand to make a huge board swing on turn 6. seems fun at least.
i can see a nerf to luke cage again soon that will make ajax / scorpion / casandra nova / hazmat a deck
Ajax is just garbage, honestly. Luke Cage is everywhere now, and at least present enough on ladder that decks that revolve around sapping power are pretty useless when you match into him. He gains zero benefit from sapping your own cards (essentially having zero effect besides consolidating that power to one card, which is terrible) and your opponent plays Cage and he’s just a 4/4. Wildly awful. He will absolutely be buffed
It’s going to be less than every 10 games where he can even get to 10 power, which is pretty much the relevant benchmark for 4 costs now that don’t have alternate strong effects. Beyond trash
New gwenpool and hydrabob look like trash. Many of these cards this season are just bad, 4 cost card tend to not work out very well.
Cassandra Nova in mill decks? 🤔 Will Luke Cage counter her effect? 🤔
This season cards are kinda meh for me, even the art is not amazing but that’s just my thoughts.
Luke might undo all the -1’s, but would need shadow king to undo her buff.
Hydra bob sounds like the worst card of the season. Your giving your opponents control to manipulate cards. This card gonna lose people a lot of matches. Bob is almost as bad as Agatha tbh
That Gwenpool variant is awesome. PANDART always putting out nice variants.
💯
what u mean, Cable may steal the buttom card? Cable says "The top card"
He may have remembered the old text of the card lol
Good catch! Yes, Cable always draws the top card now. I was thinking old ability.
Dude Gwenpool is a 4/12 that you can choose the targets, so in reality she's even better than that. She seems crazy strong to me.
You don’t choose the targets. It’s random.
@@TheLaughinginthedark oh.. lol.
Wait it says "pick" doesn't that mean you get to choose ?
@@rafayetrasti6191 pick a random card. It’s worded very poorly. It does give the impression that you can randomly pick a card. There isn’t a mechanic in the game that allows you to pick a card. I think the devs have stated in the past that the game can’t support that type of coding.
@@rafayetrasti6191you can "choose" the targets by playing a deck filled with low-cost cards and then keeping your hand size small so that when you play Gwenpool, the only cards left in your hand are the ones that you want her to hit.
Bob is rly good with the other move cards that were datamined like Madam web and others
Doubt it cz you need to snap which isn't just something casual you do every game.
how?
Well u can get a really big kraven. Maybe some prof x shenanigans too especially that noone plays him but u can move cards into him. Or storm
First!
😎🐙
Git to be the worst season yet
Really showing the lack of imagination with the Gwenpool take. Theres so many busted combos you can do. Cost redux and copy abilities, not to mention Wong work crazy good with this ability.
There are plenty of "busted combos" that involve Wong - but they aren't consistent. You're probably better off doing toxic surfer Wong>Ironheart>Surfer still.
Gwenpool might have a high ceiling with perfect draws and hits, but I'm not evaluating her on the perfect exodia draws combo.
What deck do you think is a realistic home for her?
Holy crap. I already wanted Copy Cat as I love cards that add some randomness and unpredictably, and also don't own Cull yet.
But wow I didn't understand that she gets the ability in hand, AND denied the text to your opponent. And she's 3/5!? Wild
Copycat steals the text from the BOTTOM card of their deck, so it's not going affect your opponent unless something happens that shuffles their deck. Very likely the stolen ability is not going to synergize with your deck, so it could make Copycat unplayable or just a 3/5 that you play purely for stats. The downside is that if you play it before the final turn, you will tell your opponent what they're not going to draw, so if it really matters to them, then they will just retreat.
@@ydgmdlu I don't build a lot of complex combo decks, so I don't think it will be "very likely" it won't synergize. I also still face a lot Tribunal and Hela decks that try to dig for the last card with Jubilee and Iron Lad, plus a lot of decks with Magik, so the last cards are often important.
I think she'll be at least strong.
@@notgeoff799combo decks are not the only ones that use synergies. If you face a destroy deck (which I believe are currently more common than Tribunal and Hela), then Copycat is likely to steal a destroy card, many of which will not work with whatever you have going on in your deck.
@@ydgmdlu Hmm let's say you have Copy Cat in hand by turn 3. Likely, your board isn't clogged at all yet. She copies Venom: no downside except possibly giving them a destroy trigger. That's Fine I'm probably running Mobius too.
Carnage: fine. Deathlok: fine. Death: amazing! Knull: amazing! Killmonger: probably bad, but could save till turn 6 to off their Deadpool. Zola: potentially great, maybe bad, usually neutral. Bucky: neutral. X-23: usually neutral, sometimes a lane winner. Nico: great. Hulk Buster: hilarious.
The later you draw her, in this scenario, the worse she becomes with a random destroy card, but also most of my games I don't play my entire hand out. She's got way more upside than downside.
