TOXIN

The last two symbiotes head into the game in an interesting month of goo. The killer Toxin chimes in.
Oct. 22nd to the 29th

This is to discuss the cards themselves and I always caution 1-key and to build those keys up to a minimum of 3, 4 or more, and not to go more than 1-key if you can help it. A vital resource to maintain. You decide, no one should be telling you to use this resource. Stick to the discussing the cards and stay on topic.

TOXIN: A cute Skottie Young Variant has my little one excited, but she will have to wait. Toxin is a pure augmented Beast, which kind of kills Beast vibe, along with Falcon, for all you need is Toxin to bounce away. The reason is turn limitation. You don't want to keep bouncing to your hand, for Toxin augments, not reduces their cost. It shows you that they maybe running out of ideas as we are starting to see duplicate creations with just slight alterations. I cannot see how this stays as is. Bounce should have a field day with this card. This could explain why Beast was pushed back. However, this is not just a Bounce card. It can be used with other archetypes to cause havoc. He can be used in a bunch of archetypes too. Toxin will be all over the place. Mello and Ryan give you a new standard entry.

Subject to change, but if they stay as is.

ZABU- Has been around a long while and was a fantastic Battle Pass card they had to tame. He has settled on a new ability and to me has not much of an impact, but was a lot batter than he was. Moving up from 194, were he was practically dead, to 51. He has seen a ton of play, but at 48.7%, you truly need to draw him early or forget it as late play won't make much of difference and the stats show it. The eminence power and strong abilities at the 4-cost give him some usage. He makes War-Machine, Shang-Chi, and other double trouble, but he is not having that strong of an impact in the Meta. If you do not have Zabu, not a bad get to try new deck constructs. Zabu went from a great card to the massive list of okay or bad cards in the game that are stacking up in the game. I think he is a great candidate for 'activate', for if you are going to allow him to be the Sera of 4-costs, then let him do that. Sean Galloway gives you a fun animated variant to add to your collection.

ELSA BLOOD-STONE- Once a mighty entry into the game. They are scared to death of her Meta prevalence, for she screams for either a lower cost or ability buff, but her stats show great results operating at 58.7% when played and a solid cube share, BUT she is imply not being used for many reasons. Board space, and predictability, she gives away her intention for you must stack. Elsa was once a top five card, now at 266 and dropping. She has been lost to game. She is being slept on and she may get some love in the next OTA. A fine card to add to give many arch types a needed boost, Bounce, Force, Move, Power, and others can benefit from her inclusion in your deck constructs, but be precise, for space is limited and she is just being sacrificed for something more quick and painless. A tweak candidate for sure and a new Variant inclusion by David Nakayama.

An okay spotlight, but a terrific main new card to go for. The recently changed Zabu, and Elsa, who needs a tweak, could be fine grabs if you miss on Toxin. I will be going for the card, but YOU do YOU.

Be wise with your keys, enjoy the discussion gang and gaming. My best to you all. Cheers

Yeah Toxin has been great! stripping the opponent from cards with Yondu, preventing them from playing the card they want with ice-man, reducing their power with silver sable, growing my own power with Raccoon, then pull them back with Beast or Toxin, maybe sprinkle them with Gwenpool, and do it all again! and again! Ending up with 15 power 1 cost cards or even 0 cost at turn 6, its so much potential power on the board, on all lanes. Only party poopers are Cosmo and Killmonger.
