When this card first came out, I thought it was severely broken. Played three (3) copies in almost every Justice deck I ran. Now, I think I understand how it's balanced, at least somewhat.

After some time with it, I'm learning that the cost is a pretty decent hinderance, especially early game. It does set you back a good bit if played really early. It's made to be a persistent tick, but has no burst, which you need sometimes. Laying it down turn 1-2 is your best bet but is it always the best play on turn one? Would a better piece of your kit work better for you in the long run?

I think it sits best in a deck that can pump out a lot of resources, or a deck that can also thwart in Alter-Ego (She-Hulk). The card is still valuable in that one (1) thwart per turn is still great, and then killing a minion eventually can be game saving. It just takes 4+ turns to see value, and for some Justice decks, that may be too long.

Too slow for Solo but great at 2-4 players.

A great card that allows for threat removal even when confused or flipped down to alter-ego. There are some niche situations where you may use the minion nuking effect, but generally it just functions as consistent threat removal. Due to the high cost you’ll want to use this with Hero’s that are resource rich and enjoy flipping to alter-ego. SpiderMan (Peter), Captain Marvel, Spider-Woman (Justice/Pool), and Captain America come to mind.
