So, I know nobody missed me, but I thought I’d come back and stop being lazy. I read over the new banned list. Some made sense, some didn’t. So I guess I’ll give my two cents. Oh, and never go to college. It’s bad for you…

Loyalty – Reveal, Concealed
Pay 1 endurance > Choos a team affiliation. Affiliated characters you control and affiliated characters you own in all zones gain the chosen team affiliation. Use this power only once per turn.

When this card came out, I immediately knew it was broken, even before the banned list. Though I never succeeded in creating the deck I wanted with this card, I know why it was banned. Think of Midnight Suns, but instead, characters you own in all zones have all team affiliations ever printed (or not printed, for that matter. More on that later…). Put it simply, team stamps mean absolutely nothing in a deck with Detective Chimp. Teen Titans Go? Done. Bamf? Done. Other Earth? Done. I know he has loyalty, so just reveal another Detective Chimp or some other crappy Shadopact character like Captain Marvel and you’ll be fine.

If you threw in the best plot twists, locations, and characters from any team into your deck and throw in Detective Chimp, you got a winner.

DC Modern: All the good stuff is in Silver Age 1/5
Silver Age: Ah, much better 4/5
Golden Age: Broken 5/5
Overall: 3/5

Thank you, and good night.
