Nasty Surprise

Ahhh, Nasty Surprise…how we love thee. Ok maybe that is a little hokey but I can’t help it. This card is one that can make a huge difference in many games and can fit in any deck. After all, it gives your defending character a +5 attack. If you are running any sort of deck that relies on getting small characters on the field (i.e. TNB, TT, etc.) then this card should be in your deck. After all on turns when you don’t have initiative it is nice to be able to still stun your opponent’s characters.

Bottom Line: Just because Overload is banned doesn’t mean this card should be kicked to the curve.

Ratings:

MMA constructed – n/a

GA constructed – 4.5/5.0 ….There will hardly ever be a time when this card won’t be handy.

Limited – 5.0/5.0 …This card is just sick in this format.

Nasty Surprise MOR-202
Target defender gets +5 attack

Today's card is an oldy but goody. The text is pretty simple; However id say this card, were it a movie, would be DVD bonus materiel (Good enough to make the bonus disk but not the actual movie.) MOre often than not I start with this card as im making a deck but by the time I am done it gets removed for lack of space.
The best decks to run this in are decks where your characters have above average def and below avg attacks. Your opponent will attack thinking they can get you without being stunned back and then you spring this on them.
Most decks that have avg/ to above average attacks wont need to run this card as they will counter stun most of the time. The decks this card will benefit the most against are lost city brotherhood decks and sentinel decks.
All said, its an average card. if you have room its a good filler, but often times you will run out of room first.

"Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"

Nasty Suprise

"GOTCHA!"

Nasty Suprise
Number: MOR-202
Rarity: Common
Card Type: Plot Twist
Cost: 1
Ongoing: No
Target defender gets +5 ATK for
this attack.


Cost: 1
Usable form the start. Woo-Hoo!

Ongoing: No
Oh well, with a boost like this, once is usually enough.

Effect:
Make your oppoent suffer for attacking by boosting your character's ATK by 5, which is the highest ATK boost generally available.

Team Affiliation: None
Usable in any deck. 'Nuff said.

Overall:
I'll be blunt, this is one of my favorite cards, and you can see why.
For those unable to get any copies of Savage Beatdown, this is a good, if backwards in use, substitute. With Overload banned, this card's a real killer!
5.0/5.0

Modern Age:
Fantastic in any deck.
5.0/5.0

Golden Age:
Marvelous here as well.
5.0/5.0

Limited:
This is one of the best Plot Twists in the game, so grab it if you see it.
5.0/5.0
