Today, let’s explore the new card strengths and, of course, the best decks to try it out in.
Series 5 cards can be purchased for 6,000 Collector’s Tokens from the Token Shop as the latest Seasonal Spotlight card. They will be also be included in the Seasonal Series 5 Snap Pack for 5,000 Collector’s Tokens during their season and the following one.
Synergies
The new card is reminiscent of Omega Sentinel, except it costs 1 less energy and we can’t just click it to get the reward. Already, this is a big difference, as the Objective keyword still lacks any sort of synergy in Marvel Snap. Omega Sentinel could be repeated through Jocasta, which allowed some form of scaling. Here,
Outside this comparison,
- En Sabah Nur could switch the card we afflicted, as it is likely it will now be the lowest power. Hopefully, the opponent’s highest cost card is on our opponent’s back row.
- Shadow King and Luke Cage aren’t very popular, but also good enough to make a comeback if they would represent a counter to a popular ability.
- For most decks, Three 4-cost or higher cards will force them to be extremely rigid in the way they play, as this commands at least 12 of our last 15 energies.
Because of these restrictions, on top of the affliction synergy not being particularly good,
As a result, I expect the card to be included in already built decks, sporting enough high cost cards, rather than open any deck building avenue. For synergies, I looked at cards able to represent multiple 4+ cost cards on their own:
Decks with Doctor Doom 2099
Decks with Jubilee
Decks with White Tiger
Decks with Doctor Doom
The On Reveal synergy immediately jumps to mind, especially with Odin able to enable those cards a second time. However, nothing beats Doctor Doom 2099 when it comes to summoning 4-cost cards. If
The Verdict: Should You Get Caliban, Horseman of Pestilence ?
Until the Objective keyword gets more cards to synergize with, I will always be a little cautious on their potential. [3/11] is enough to see play, but afflicting opposing cards means a significant portion of that power can be taken away, while I’m not even certain I’ll be able to complete the objective.
