KHONSHU IS CRAZY. The new way to play discard!?

so marvel snaps newest card is konshu and already love this one really really fun card love these like big six drop build arounds we don't get that many six drops these days konshu starts it as 6-5 when you discard him he comes back a little bigger as a 6-8 and then again as a 6-12 and for

each of these phases he's going to have this on reveal resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its power set to either respectively 12 8 or 5 so for instance if you push this guy up to 12 and you resurrect an iron man you get a 12 power iron man or you know that's 24 power

in its own right or if you resurrect a brood you get three 12 power broods or 36 power which can be bigger than iron man if he's alone or of course if iron man is stacked up with other stuff you know like a sword master or whatever he catches up pretty quick both of those though can be amazing results and you know that makes khonshu just this

absolutely insane power dump where he's 12 himself and he's bringing back you know like 20 30 power completely crazy you know one card output as long as you build a deck to support him and

Boy, this deck surprised me.

This is a Silver Surfer-Konshu build.

I did not dream I was going to play Silver Surfer today, but I'll tell you what happened, right?

I was like, you know, I really want to play Brood because Brood's really cool off Konshu, and I kind of want to play Absorbing Man because obviously that's a classic Brood combination if you don't hit...

the Brood Off Khonshu, and it's actually pretty good for stuff like Lady Sif as well, like Sif on three, Absorbing Man on four, that guarantees your Khonshu's already pushed up to its max state at 12 power, so it's like, you know, that is just so surfer-coded that I have to run Silver Surfer in this deck, along with so many of the good discard cards,

are also three cost cards.

You kind of naturally just coalesce into this Silver Surfer build almost by accident really.

And then it's easy to toss in like First Ghost Rider and Blade.

Surfer builds have historically had, you know, one to three early game drops before the three drops.

So these fit in really naturally.

Iron Man and Proxima kind of fill in the gaps too.

And like suddenly this just sort of built itself

And I had a really good run with this.

I went 10 and 5.

That's a 67% win rate up 11 cubes.

I know a lot of other people were playing Khonshu against us.

So the data is all cloudy on these launch days anyway, because it's like everybody's playing mirror matches.

They were playing like more traditional discard builds or kind of like good Moon Knight, like stature type stuff, you know, Silver Samurai Moon Knight stature type builds.

I think those both seems like great possibilities we'll see where the data shakes out but we were winning a lot of those matchups with this kind of silver surfer tilt on this deck because it turns out you know silver surfer is also a common hit off of your discards here because like basically your ghost rider is going to hit iron man brood and surfer those are the three targets that are the bottom power cards in this deck.

Brood Surfer and Iron Man are generally your res targets.

Silver Surfer's a good res target anyway.

It's like sometimes you just play the Brood on three, you bring back the Surfer on six, and he's still a 12 power Surfer that's like buffing the board for another eight, 10 power or something.

It's still a crazy output.

So the construction of this works pretty well to kind of like isolate the key targets.

I did notice decks that were running more like just blind discards, you know, like Corvus Glaives and just like every discard card under the sun.

maybe weren't getting as good of reliable outputs for Khonshu.

Also, do note, as I realized, somewhere in this video you're gonna see, if you discard a 12-power Khonshu, he's gone forever, right?

So you gotta be careful.

You only wanna discard this two times, and particularly today with mirror matches, other people are running cards like Moon Knight, they might discard your Khonshu for you if you get it to 12 already.

So just keep that in mind.

Too many discards.

can be a problem and kind of blanket discards might also hurt Khonshu a little bit.

I think you wanna kind of finesse his targets down as much as you can to make sure you're getting great results.

So anyway, long story short, this card seems really promising to me.

It just has such an enormous payoff when it hits.

I do think deck construction is gonna need some time and refinement, like by no means do I think this is the best version of this kind of build.

And we certainly don't know if this is the best kind of Khonshu build.

But throughout the week, I think something pretty powerful is going to show up for Khonshu here, where there is a good deck that's really refined, has a tight list with good rewards, good curves, and probably becomes some kind of meta deck.

Still early to say, but it just feels like this card has that kind of potential.

Just keep an eye out as more data rolls in.

But for now, of course, we have some really fun games with Khonshu because this card can do big, silly things.

It's a little bit random too, which can introduce some fun and chaos.

So I think you're going to enjoy this video.

Alright, boy, that's a fun hand, isn't it?

Ooh, Lady Sif is already very good, but Titan is screwing me, dude.

Titan, no!

Let's let he turn that off real quick.

We need first Ghost Rider right now off the top.

Dream draw.

I'll get that Iron Man out of hand.

Uh, okay, Brood Mid is actually very good, though.

You know, it's weird.

I was built...

This is my first game.

Okay.

Glasses are getting fixed.

Also.

My audio has been causing me a ton of problems.

I uh Hopefully it doesn't cut out too much.

I don't know.

I think i need a new Microphone interface or something.

I don't know anyway I was when I was building this deck.

I was like, you know, I kind of want to run brood and I kind of want to run absorbing man

brood for the conchu and absorbing man for the sif but i was like well they go so well together of course they also go in silver surfer decks like why don't we just run both of those like what why why why not put silver surfer in the deck i had no intention to play a silver surfer deck but then i was looking like all the discards are three that i want anyway you know sword master is like kind of iffy in a surfer deck but i just wanted like a good nice sif is it's fine right like a five power conchu it's still really good

i was like well shoot dude we're just kind of like naturally condensing down into a freaking uh yeah actually absorb man's pretty cool on the like we said on the sif it's everything's just like a hair off curve is the only problem here but that's okay we'll just go uh conchu and hope that iron man covers i don't actually know does this absorb man go mid it makes an iron man there way better but um

I don't know, 8 and 8 can kind of hold on its own, because, like, 8 here is still 13, and then Iron Man's, like, 16 on his own, you know?

Just that Captain Marvel's pretty spooky as it stands.

Oh, my God.

Okay, this game's got definitely a lot different.

Okay.

Um, Winds of Watum, sure.

Oh, this could have Black Panther, too.

Oh, my God, Triskelion's screwing me, dude.

No.

No, I didn't even see.

No.

Nice.

Nice.

We are snipers right now, dude.

Absolute snipers.

If we didn't have a blade there, by the way, it would be very cool.

Well, now we have time to do like blade stuff.

Yeah, dude, sick.

Okay, so now we can go Panther probably here.

In fact, we could force an Iron Man Khonshu a little bit, right?

Like if we have a two cost card we draw, which we probably won't though, actually.

We probably can't technically force it, but maybe we'll put Khonshu here.

That way we know the Iron Man's pushing out somewhere valuable.

Rude debuff, but that's okay.

It doesn't matter.

Khonshu gone again.

And then maybe it's just Khonshu right for 12.

And then...

hope i guess i mean iron man definitely it's a 24 power iron man at a base and then you know adds either 10 or 12 to it so um i mean hopefully that's okay oh god that is very big though not big enough though is it

we're going to 22 and then iron man is a chill 12 dude nice dude captain marvel cannot make the difference dude this is crazy this is my first game this is a perfect game dude they gave me a galactus okay about dude they're they're pissed okay that's a fun little hint oh that would be a good one to win this is a great conchu hit we could play brood first though too like we don't have to

Don't have to do Moon Knight stuff right now.

Moon Knight actually double hits the Khonshu.

It'll be just done.

Assuming we don't draw an Absorbing Man or Proxima.

Boy, that's a good hit too.

If the opponent discards any of my cards, this could be bad.

We could lose our Khonshu.

But hopefully we mess up their hand a little bit too.

Did we hit anything for them?

A swarm?

Eh, they're not mad about that.

probably anyway it might mess up some positioning for like a blade or something i guess swarm again i bet what do you want to bet is it swarm again it is great news and we did maybe fill their hand too much dakin their hand is full they do lose a draw here and they lose one shard as well actually oh okay kind of nice maybe maybe we're geniuses after all huh huh

So first Ghost Rider is really good on turn five with stuff, but only if...

I need to discard Iron Man instead of Surfer, or you could play a Brood, but I kind of want the Surfer in some ways.

So like, do you ever go Swordmaster and just toss it up to Fate?

I don't know.

You could also guarantee both, right?

But I don't know if I want to guarantee both either.

Also Surfer mid is just like really good.

So if we could try to force a Surfer mid, that would also be cool.

I mean, Swordmaster is definitely the way to try to do that, right?

Bro, they have a million swarms, always.

um so like sword master right oh that's another

confusing roll though because now i might hit well i mean sort yeah i'd say let's just toss it up to fade here because playing the sword master is still really good either way so in other words i'm saying also we do have conchu mid as well i guess which is another angle like discarding two here is pretty good so like if sword master hits iron man ghost rider hits surfer that's great if sword master hits blade we're sad but ghost rider still hits iron man we're probably

we're not happy but we're okay but we really want iron man and surfer out of this so we really want like sword master needs to hit either surfer or iron man basically this part doesn't matter too much right now i mean we're losing some surfer upside so maybe that makes this a little bit less uh demanding okay we unfortunately hit the one out of three it's really sad but iron man is still nuts um

so right now we're getting a a 12 power blade and a 12 power iron man as i see it but i kind of need them to spread because we're not really winning mid at least not seriously don't think surfer here's ever better anymore of course this is just a billion power uh bonnet has a lot of power though man like i none of mine is going mid which is a limiter i kind of need i kind of need these to split you know

Like Iron Man left and Blade right would be the dream.

Okay, that's backwards.

I mean, Blade left still wins, but it goes left.

Ah, nice, dude.

Let's go.

Beautiful.

We almost held mid too, to be honest.

these i would have been more comfortable if these were swapped this looks a little too close it's a little too harrowing but uh it's all we needed imagine if this were surfer though too if i guess we were never really gonna get surfer commortage because we were always gonna play right like there was no world where this ever went to commortage realistically okay good little surfer backup plan here iron man becomes the sif target which uh is fine honestly like like um

You know, I don't want to undersell the value of a just base Khonshu.

Like, if you discard Iron Man and that's your only discard, a base Khonshu is still an insane play.

Like, let's be clear about that, you know?

It's a really, really good play because it's a 5-power card that brings back a 5-power Iron Man.

That is 10 power total.

But you know, that Ironman is doubling that to 15 at a base.

That's a Dr. Doom already, but then that's also scaling with other cards on board, you know?

The only part is like the unpredictability kind of sucks.

Here's a hit on a Khonshu already making Ironman insane.

Oh, actually we can do Absorbing Man on curve, probably preferable.

Because Moon Knight can hit the Absorbing Man, right?

So let's just do that.

I think you generally want to like fill out a spot in this deck as much as you can.

You know, so you can kind of control your Khonshu deposit a little better like where that where that lands He never picks his own location, right?

It's always Discarded to another location so you can kind of finesse it a little more, you know Unfortunately, we're kind of wasting

some Khonshu cycles, which means I don't actually want to blade here because I know I want Khonshu to bring back specifically Iron Man.

And if I blade, I risk Khonshu bringing back a different target, which is why I avoided a discard deck in general for this, by the way, like a more, I mean, this obviously is kind of a discard deck.

Do you get what I mean?

Like a full on discard deck?

Because you realize like you don't actually want to discard that many things.

Ooh, so this makes Khonshu very interesting because

If he goes right, like, okay, sure, we've got a billion power.

If he goes mid, that's fine.

We'll contest the Iron Man with a 12-power Iron Man, right?

We'll go toe-to-toe.

And then, you know, left, I want to get some power down because we're a deck that plays all threes, basically.

Oh, God, is this Tribunal, though?

Oh, my God, dude.

Okay, so we'll go Gambit.

Actually, we'll go Blade Gambit.

Blade hits the Proxima, which goes mid.

Gambit hits whatever...

uh and then i guess we surfer and we try to hit either onslaught or iron man with this gambit we have priority so it's a two out of three man it's actually really good odds i'm gonna be a little bit crushed is is surfer really worth it it's worth four mid it's worth four right that's eight total is like sword master just better

Can't really get brood value.

I think this is fine.

Oh, opponent retreated.

They just didn't hit a tribunal, I guess.

Okay, I think we had a really good gambit out here anyway.

You know, two out of three.

Either of these targets is probably enough to win this game, right?

Okay.

Blade into Gambit's not it right now.

I mean, Gambit's a pretty cool card to pull back off Khonshu, to be honest, but not late in the game.

His targets usually kind of suck.

No good hits here right now.

Do we just maybe tempo this for a 2-5 then?

You can kind of hide away bad discard cards right now, like hide a Gambit in here sort of thing, you know.

Wait till later.

Ooh.

This currently hits a lot of bad stuff.

Yeah, let's just tuck the Gambit away for now.

is kind of funny how we're oh dude everybody is playing magic today it's crazy somebody put out like a magic country list i i have seen like so many magics already man moon knight has a 50 50 to hit uh proxima right now so if we play the absorbing man i guess we can kind of moon knight next turn to hit proxima force it right which is pretty good

uh blade might also be a reasonable target at that stage too if you draw like iron man or conchu or frankly even brood like or surfer honestly only sif would probably not be a good a good card for the blade to hit pretty much everything else has outs oh conchu certainly has outs yeah nice so you go blade conchu oh moon knight might hit conchu too instead of proxima now which i guess is still pretty okay we're not mad about that actually if it does

It still allows us to get to Sanctorum, usually, because it's a seven-turn game.

We know we can play a card here and then Khonshu to finish and push that power right.

Currently, that power is nothing, though, actually.

I need to hit, like, an Iron Man or a Brood or something.

Currently don't have... Oh, my God!

Bro, I got a bonus Khonshu roll off the Silver Samurai.

That's crazy.

So he's already maxed out.

Now we definitely want Moon Knight and Proxima.

kind of a midnight deck moon night midnight conchu is clearly got some moony stuff going on what did i discard from the opponent there mr sinister which was a big consideration for me in this deck so sword mastered bro wait bro if you discard conchu too many times he goes away i never thought about this oh

of course his text no longer says return him to hand that's dirty in these mirror matches you especially have to be careful about that oh my god dude that's so dirty dude it's really gonna get one actually we're gonna get no gambits because ghost rider whiffs here dude that is so dirty

bro so they're winning right for sure but i think they're just not winning mid there's just no numbers here right there's no numbers left bro i never even thought about it of course it's obvious in hindsight now you just you hope that you don't have that problem but um since we missed proxima they totally cooked us man we're obviously winning so it's all good sadly the surfer didn't really do much was i actually better off with the uh no no it was like brood i think that's right

yeah opponent just uh ended up a little too focused right i like the white tiger by the way i was really considering white tiger a lot um i'm nervous about the magic choices though dude i don't know i i tend to think magic is mostly for combos i mean this is kind of a combo not really i think you can get it done in six that is a that is the dream trio right there dude dream trio this is not a dream though how in the heck do we play around mindscape maybe we just hope the opponent also has

it's that simple they also have kachu they don't because they're running stupid stupid sam without their kachu deck yeah they're kind of like a zoo deck uh i mean maybe the goal then is just to like empty the hand right like screw kachu or whatever just empty the hand uh actually yeah this is guaranteed to hit proxima right now which is pretty cool

Shame we didn't get a Titan instead of a Utopia.

I mean, they're both good, I guess, but, you know.

I don't want to give them a big buffed Khonshu.

It's not necessarily likely that they would have a way to activate unless I play Moon Knight or something, but, you know, it's...

This is just four power, which is fine.

Play this Gambit.

I'm probably buffing their Khonshu, man.

That's the thing.

It's like, I don't want to do that.

I don't want to do that.

Even if it's just, you know, a six eight, it's still a six eight, you know, it's something.

Maybe it doesn't matter.

Maybe they just give me a big guy and we're fine.

Oh, Luke Cage mid's really good, dude.

Now I wanna gambit that Luke Cage.

Very, very unlikely to be done, but not impossible.

Oh my God, dude, like, do I just give him a 612, dude?

Like, that's so, like, dude, this game would be insane if it wasn't for Mindscape, by the way.

Look at how insane this game would be without Mindscape right now, dude.

It would be the craziest game.

I would have, like, the perfect curve.

And instead, we're gonna get wrecked by Minescape, man.

I'm so annoyed, dude.

Hopefully they turn it off somehow.

I don't know.

Just turn it off for me, bro.

They're not going to.

They know I've got a big six drop, I'm sure.

I need to hit like Captain America or I don't know, Luke Cage maybe, but I don't even think that's gonna matter.

Oh, armor.

That just cut us in half on Gambit.

We're not gonna have a Spectrum, I guess, but is it gonna matter?

Because Spectrum's not gonna be big enough for me to win.

They can just play 12 left, I guess.

They can move the shield too, so they can play 12 right as well.

They did not turn off Mindscape, obviously.

Can we hit Luke?

Luke and Cap are both pretty good mid.

Okay, Cap instead.

He's big.

Now they can play the 12 mid.

Probably mid, right?

Ronin?

Ronin's not big enough.

Tiny!

Oh, man.

No, we lose.

They just always play the guy, uh, the guy, right?

Always play the guy and don't do anything.

dude this would have been the coolest sickest game if only it wasn't for mindscape dude like like literally everything went perfectly we could even have you know pseudo targeted the iron man i guess not really but iron man was good anywhere at 12 like he would have held anywhere so you can see the numbers just weren't there we also know they didn't have at least a spectrum in hand they might have drawn one all right you guys saw it here first black vortex into conchu it's happening

it's totally happening i can sense it i can feel it okay gambit just got a lot worse huh brood's honestly a pretty good target here just you know still fill it out but get get your check on your six gambit uh boy gambit is pretty cool 50 50 right now sif is solid into a conchu line but not really that interesting otherwise do you take this 50 50 man oh my god dude

uh yeah let's just see let's also just see what vortex turns into gambit's a fine target we don't know if we're gonna brood or not oh it's not a 50 50 priority uh it's a two out of three now iron man gone okay sort of similar build to us but running morbius i didn't think morbius oh my god dude one out of three secure iron man though kind of holds that down by itself dude can i win with just like

see how to win because I can't even really win throne room right now it's really doubling down though I mean like Khonshu technically wins throne room right now

It's like, you could go for, like, you know, Swordmaster, hope it hits the Iron Man, pull the Iron Man back, but there's just too many ifs about that.

I mean, I love that they're committing here.

Ooh, okay, Silver Surfer's a little better for us than...

I really wish that had been a Moon Knight that hit a Khonshu, though.

That would have been the dream, I guess.

I mean, there's just no world where Khonshu holds down right here.

Just zero worlds.

I don't believe it at all.

Like, I don't think there's any chance because that's where the opponent's playing big stuff.

Oh, my God.

Hold up.

Maybe there's a chance.

Take it all back.

Don't score right.

Don't score right.

Don't hit MODOK.

Okay, good.

Can I hold it?

Like, actually, Surfer's going to win this game, isn't it, dude?

Surfer actually wins right for me.

Oh, my God, dude.

Don't hit right.

Did that hit Morbius, or was that just Morbius going off?

Oh, my God, dude.

We held.

Oh, my God, dude.

This server.

If we got Blade, we would have tied.

I guess we actually would have won a tiebreaker the way this rolled with the Scorns.

I feel like the Draculas are misplaced in some of these lists.

Like, you got, you know, like, the Khonshu package.

I don't know if it wants...

dracula in it necessarily i i'm nobody knows i'm just speculating and we'll see data right okay man oh my god nice dude sokovia's a brother let's go thank you sokovia absolute bro oh also helping the opponent sad days okay ghost rider's insane though ghost rider iron man here's perfect

although there is a part of me that's like man is brood just better i don't know i can't decide like they're both so good like this is 36 power this is 24 power but of course can scale on board so you just need effectively another six power in that spot to make it better um so it just depends a little bit but certainly certainly not unhappy with our hand did i not fist bump you or if i didn't fist bump you sometimes i forget for sure

uh we can get to that with conchu let's just stack up a spot so we can force conchu mid or whatever this is a good iron man hit sword master actually hits brood if we want to just take a 50 50 on it like i actually really don't mind it's it's one of those where like they're both so good like it doesn't really matter to me and maybe that just plays the sword master out for free that way like you don't want to lose six power so

think that's okay we also said like we said we like filling spots i mean we could we could just go ahead and play the brood to literally already fill this spot and go for it that way a little bit but um let's just see what we draw number one that can change things with extra energy here gambit instead um gambit's also kind of a cool conch you hit i would say a bit worse maybe

I don't know if I really trust the Broods here, man, because we're not going to have Surfer necessarily.

I think we got to do this and hope to hit the Brood here.

Leave the Gambit maybe for a better... Yeah, Gambit on six is just so unlikely to be good, man.

There's like usually too many cards, you know?

Five already here.

Sif is actually a pretty great hit.

We can play Khonshu next turn, but I want to play Khonshu right with a card filling left for sure.

So I need to wait till six still for the Khonshu, we think.

Hopefully the opponent doesn't discard my Khonshu with like a Moon Knight.

Because it'll go away.

It'll be gone.

Absolutely something you have to manage in mirror matches, I think.

Go Moon Knight.

This wave's okay.

apoc in their deck okay it's a more traditional discard i don't know what the right path is gonna be for this card by the way guys there's no telling i really have no idea do we maybe just go like oh we definitely just do this

Well, that's such overkill mid though, right?

Like that's, maybe it's actually this and just Khonshu left, right?

Yeah, I think that's better.

Because Khonshu left is still pretty big.

That gives you a Gambit or Iron Man.

Because like maybe Brood just holds Ultra of Death anyway.

Like you don't really care.

Yeah, I think that's better.

I actually literally just didn't even think about Brood just literally winning Ultra of Death on its own and then using your Khonshu to win the other spots, you know?

This feels better to me for sure.

And the super flow really helped the energy flow on this too.

So now you really want Khonshu to go, of course, right.

Yes.

Because left is like a little exposed against Dracula, you know.

And left does have a big lead, though.

So I wonder if you ever just do Khonshu right and hope it doesn't go mid.

Hope it goes left.

Oh, Gambit actually is going to push power mid here.

Would really overkill mid, man.

It's 12...

Like 12 is the number you're going to get here anyway.

But of course, if it's Iron Man, you get like a billion.

Also, pretty great gambit for the record.

Three targets, all pretty solid.

I think Dracula is the number one hit, but...

I guess this is fine.

I'm just really worried about wasting too much power left.

If I hit Modok and do this, Proxima does go here, which is still nine, which is pretty good, but it doesn't be like a rip to Khonshu.

It's really hard to say, because I want this card to go left.

If it goes mid, we're super sad.

I don't think it's worth it here, of course.

That doesn't really make sense to me, but...

This does force the Proxima mid, though, man.

I guess we're going to do this to force Proxima right and hope maybe we snipe the MODOK.

I don't know.

This is really tough.

Don't go mid.

Oh, no, dude.

No.

Hit Dracula.

Hit Dracula.

Okay, maybe this holds.

Just go mid.

Go mid.

Nice.

Okay.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Not what we planned, but it works.

Dude, these gores are so big.

I didn't think there was space for gore in here because I wanted Sif to work, you know, but man, they get so big, it's crazy.

Dracula hit an Iron Man.

I don't know if you can have Dracula and Iron Man in your deck together.

I don't know.

Okay.

Yeah, I mean, Brute Absorbing Man is a play.

It's like classically one of the strongest plays in Marvel Snap over the last two years.

It's been out of vogue for a while, I guess.

We don't see much Surfer these days, but don't sleep on the classic Brood Absorbing Man lines, dude.

That has been strong stuff.

Very, very strong lineage.

If we got a Khonshu, would we pivot it all to Lady Sif Absorbing Man?

i don't know i don't we don't have surfer yet so it would be tempting oh okay never mind stiff is out no longer the plan it is now a brood plan again um yeah morbius is hard to beat we also don't really want to play wide into sewer system do you go absorbing man mid you get a free card from grand central probably not an issue for us realistically

Really need to hit Surfer here to feel good about these plays though, right?

It's not that much power just yet.

Silver Samurai hitting Blade, okay.

It's at least something for our Khonshu.

Iron Man for them, sure.

They got Icebox, they're pretty pumped.

That's a good Icebox target.

I guess it could have screwed him up a little bit though, maybe.

So we can actually discard Iron Man and something gets pulled for free here.

Like, do you really want to discard Iron Man?

Because playing Iron Man mid is kind of just cool.

Like, does this just hold if you draw Surfer?

Next turn would be like Swordmaster, Surfer.

Also a world where Sif actually pulls out Proxima, but I don't know if that's any good.

Khonshu is pretty bad at this stage.

I'm not really excited about Khonshu at all.

We're really looking for Surfer hits.

I think although losing the free power here technically, like up to five free power, it does have downsides and risks.

Khonshu for eight.

Uh, and Blade hitting Khonshu to 12.

Dang, dude.

That's a good guy.

That's a big, strong boy.

Khonshu's gone!

He's deleted!

And so is Ghost Rider!

Oh, that Corvus Glaive, dude.

We've seen that burn people a lot today, haven't we?

Oh, bro, this Moon Knight actually has a decent chance of summoning Proxima.

five and two seven proxima would go right uh it's only a 50 50 though i don't know it's one of three sif is also four power i mean i don't know dude it's worth a shot maybe like in some worlds you know just taking the guaranteed ghost rider power is a little better but we're not that good so i kind of like the proxima here oh my god no we're fine dude just playing hard playing gore doesn't even matter we just hold left very nice unless we hit a proxima for them i guess that would be a disaster wouldn't it uh hand empty for them okay

yeah dude cool i um i don't know man we i i my experience is of course incredibly limited super small sample size anytime you're playing as one person but i have to say the the more like all-in discard packages have been whiffing a little bit sometimes on the conscious stuff i don't know like i don't know we're just getting lucky

Khonshu and Sif.

Sif absorbing Khonshu is actually a nutty hit.

Yeah, we just need... Oh, as long as we don't draw Iron Man.

Well, I mean, even if we do draw Iron Man, I guess it's still kind of fine.

We'll still be getting an Iron Man, which is nice.

Blade, no good right now.

Blade's got to chill.

not sure how i feel about the blade in this deck still to be honest like it's nice to have some curve fill like you know three and a two on five three and a one on four can both be like good little curve fill cards so go draw iron man nice i don't really want that getting destroyed do we need nor dimension i feel like it might mess me up somehow i don't know how it doesn't have hand size problems or anything i don't know it might be free currently no hand size problem so it might be kind of

like this dude it's like we don't want to destroy the the wolverine we do want to destroy the iron patriot so we're like porn you know it's it's this tough debate um so jin into absorbing man looks good we might even be able to go for a um this always oh oh hold up that's a gin now hold up wrong order wrong

might be able to go for a uh single turn hit on the conchu since he's cheaper like you know if you if you pop deck like blade or whatever um this doesn't really matter on holo right truly we win this don't we we're at nine they have here basically oh no they don't it's silenced oh no absorbing man

No, I lied.

There's a beautiful play, dude.

I don't even think they were expecting that.

Probably just a beautiful play.

Absolute legendary plays.

That gets rid of Blade or currently actually Swordmaster.

Just thinking, like, I can actually... Can I isolate down to a Khonshu here, right?

Like, if this hits...

Proxima always.

This hits Khonshu always, right?

This hits Swordmaster.

This hits Proxima.

This hits Khonshu.

Proxima goes mid.

And then you play Khonshu mid, I think, right?

Like, this is actually kind of an insane hand.

It's doing stupid Ereshim stuff, like always.

Now, unfortunately, no, we don't have the best target.

It's just Swordmaster, but it's a 12-power Swordmaster.

Like, that's pretty good, like, in the scheme of things, you know?

Got rid of a Mr.

Negative for them, of course.

uh so i mean it's always conch here then it's just like conchu left probably right and you just try to win maybe it's conchu mid just to guarantee this flip i suppose you're kind of sad if you lose left i guess i forgot ghost rider is going like giga negative power but that's yeah it's the only way to get the conchu isolated right i'm the opponent here i just play big mid and hope that it holds though right that's the thing is like but i rather try to win left

Seven energy for them.

I just don't know what they're gonna do.

Yeah, I don't know if we have a lot of, it doesn't really matter too much.

Dude, the Khonshu just always forces retreats, dude.

People are already scared of him.

You just get people to retreat like crazy.

All right, pretty interesting start here.

Ghost Rider, anything good?

No, not quite yet.

Ghost Rider definitely not the target just yet.

You know, it's not that crazy in this deck for Ghost Rider to discard Khonshu if you look.

Like, you know, well, I guess we'd have to, no, no, it is actually kind of crazy.

You'd have to draw a pretty crazy perfect sequence.

It'd have to be like Sif and Proxima, and Sif would still be a 50-50, wouldn't it?

No, I don't think that's true.

Yeah, let's just... You want to play Ghost Rider here because you want Moon Knight to hit Khonshu.

I guess you're okay with this.

It's only a two-power Ghost Rider, though.

It's kind of tough.

This Ghost Rider, if you don't have the Brood Surfer or Iron Man, does feel pretty stuck sometimes.

I don't know.

Let's greet it a little bit.

Opponent has Gore.

again i talked about i don't know if i mentioned this earlier but gore it was debating gore because it's like well it makes your conchu discards less reliable but it's a great ghost rider target so it's like relying on brood and surfer as the backups basically and trusting that that's worth it who knows if that's right or true

Okay, that's a better actual target there.

Surfer we can live with, I think, and we'll just go Ghost Rider Blade.

That gets Khonshu to 12.

Surfer, admittedly, doesn't have a lot of bodies right now, but that's okay.

All we got, we'd like to see maybe a Proxima, although no, Proxima's now risky 50-50 because you don't want that Khonshu getting discarded again.

Swordmaster's kind of safe, can only put good cards in the pool probably.

Shang-Chi, dude, nice!

Yeah, I don't think you take the 50-50, right?

I think you just play this.

I think that's fine.

It's weird that we only have one card getting buffed by Surfer right now.

It's not that great.

Sif hits their Khonshu, he's at eight.

I mean, if this is a Khonshu battle, their Gore is definitely gonna outpace.

No!

wait is theirs is going to 12 though no dude my kanji's gone dude no we lose no this never holds right no it never holds oh it can't it has to have a discard no it never holds if gore goes right do we ever win no they got silver samurai back it's only eight we win we win

The Moon Knight screwed me, but it also screwed them.

The gore was going to be too big.

The Silver Samurai is not too big.

Oh my God, dude.
