Zombie Spider-Man

Zombie Spider-Man

Does whatever a Zombie Spider can

Spins a web, never dies

Catches thieves, eats their eyes

Look out

Here comes Zombie Spider-Man!

-Animated Zombie Spider-Man Theme Tune (1967)

 

Today we review Zombie Spider-Man, who is both a Spider-Man and a Zombie. Hence he becomes a Zombie Spider-Man.

 

As a Spider-Man, he can make your opponent exhaust a character they control. As a Zombie he can come back from the dead more times than Joan Rivers.

 

Sadly however, as a special edition MAA card you can only pick up Zombie Spider-Man by paying a lot of UDE points and waiting maybe a year or two for delivery.

 

But you really shouldn’t bother, because Pathetic Attempt negates both the exhaustion and resurrection effects of Zombie Spider-Man, making this card useless.

Constructed: 2/5

Spider-Man

 

Zombies!!!!!

 

Spider-Man

Zombie

Spider-Friends/4/7/7

Range

Activate,  KO Spider-Man > Target player exhaust a ready character he controls. At the start of the recovery phase this turn, return Spider-Man from his owner’s KO’d pile to play under your control. Use only during the combat phase.

 

Am I the only one who didn’t really care for Marvel Zombies? It didn’t really make any sense to just turn everyone into zombies. Eh, oh well…

 

So, this Spider-Man exhausts a character (figures). Problem is, you don’t actually get a choice on who to exhaust. And you lose a blocker for the turn. Which kinda defeats the purpose of exhausting a character. But then again, you don’t actually lose a character, either. It’ll come back to haunt again for next turn. Still, even if I temporarily lose a character, I’d at least want a choice on who to exhaust.

 

Although, I do like his ability to bypass uniqueness. But still, he doesn’t have much going for him outside of defensive purposes.

 

Constructed:  3/5

 

Same effect, different Spider-Man

W00t!  Sorry about being away for a while, folks... if you read my WoW review for today, it should say exactly what is up (unless the powers that be removed it from the email).  Anywho, I'm back and I SHOULD be able to do cards for a while, unless life throws me another curve ball.  YAY!!!

On to the card!!!

Spider-Man, Zombie (Spider-Friends)

4 cost, 7 ATK/7 DEF, Range

Activate, KO Spider-Man >> Target player exhausts a ready character he controls.  At the start of the next recovery phase this turn, return Spider-Man from his owner's KO'd pile to play under your control.  Use the ability only during the combat phase.

Holy WOW!  Zombies rock!  This is crazy cool.  KO him, and exhaust someone.  Then bring him back.  Not shabby at all.  If your opponant has the initiative and a bigger guy than you do (or, well, ANYONE that you don't like, for that matter), exhaust him.  Joy of joys!  And Spidey here has average stats for his cost, so he can attack and/or take a hit fairly well.  I like him.  I'd run 4 in my Spider-Friends deck... if I had any.  I need some money like NOW.  :D

Sealed: 4/5  Good stats, and an pretty cool ability make him VERY playable in sealed.

Constructed: 4/5  Again, his ability is fun, and his stats are good enough to not shake a stick at.  :)
