Blow Hard -
Windbag
Ok so eventually, when building a new deck with
a new expansion set, it usually comes down to
"what is the best team from the set". In my
opinion, the order for this set is as follows:
1.) Morlocks
2.) Brotherhood
3.) X-men
4.) Hellfire Club
Oh yeah, Morlocks definitely came out on top.
Sure brotherhood is a great team and has
certainly deserved much of the press it has been
given, but the Morlocks just bring more to the
table. When it comes to Brotherhood you really
only have two ways to go - Acolyte or Freedom
Force. (Not to mention the fact that Brotherhood
cards are over-inflated and hard to get right
now.) However, Morlocks have at least 3
different themes - the non-reinforcement deck,
the evasion deck, and the screw with your
opponent's formation deck. Cheaper cards and
more variation (and support for those
variations) just equals out to a better team,
period.
Today's card fits into the the "screw with your
opponent's formation deck". Blow Hard is your
standard 6-drop with stats of 12/12. He has
range, which is nice, but his effect is why you
play him. Whenever this guy attack, you get to
move all of your opponent's characters to the
support row. This is great for two reasons - 1.)
He totally shuts down decks (like Brotherhood)
that seriously lack range and 2.) If you play
you game right your opponent will have a hard
time reinforcing your attacks. The key here is
that if you are going to run a "screw" deck you
need to take the even initiative.
Ratings:
MMA constructed deck - 3.5/5.0 ...This card will
screw with a lot of the new decks from the X-men
set, but will have less of an impact against
Squadron and Avengers because they have more
range.
GA constructed - 2.5/5.0 ...Most tier 1 decks
don't rely on their formations - hence the
reason they are tier 1.
Limited - 3.5/5.0 ...This card is great in this
format!

Blow Hard,
Windbag
Morlocks
6 drop
12/12
ranged
Trait: energy
Whenever Blow Hard attacks a character, that
character's controller moves all characters he
controls to his support row.
This week we look at the new Morlocks team and
everythign you can do with them. Today's six
drop is an average 12/12 with range, wich
anymore is becoming smaller and smaller with the
more characters coming out with 13's, it is
still good. The effect is what's really going to
mess with your opponent's formation. Having to
move everyone of your characters to your support
row can mess up the way you are tryingf to
reinforce your characters, and can force a big
drop that lacks range into a position where it
cannot attack back that turn unless your
opponent can give it range.
This may not be the best of the Morlock six
drops, but is still very solid six drop.
