Having a lot of fun with tricksy ways of Darkhawking all these Arishem decks (literally over 90% of my matchups now).

Obviously Cosmo/Darkhawk/Mystique (or Taskmaster) works but it's so boring.

Add a little Supergiant or Invisible Woman to hide your Mystique/Taskmaster so you can drop Darkhawk on 6 and avoid the counters.

Arnim Zola on Darkhawk to dodge Shang Chi and obliterate the opponent is fun.

But so far my favorite play is the ol' Turn 6 Small Card/Blink to whip out the Surprise Darkhawk.

Preferably after playing Red Hulk onto Hope on 5.

They never see it coming.

Well now I know to look out for it

 

[Cole]

I'm having decent success with mine.

I have a deck for Arishem that adds extra energy (Hope, Psylocke, X23) and a lot of 10+ cost cards with Skaar. it's been working well.

 

[shortkut]

I was thinking of making a lockjaw arishem deck for maximum randomness, but haven’t decided who I want in it yet

 

[canadaguy]

you guys are getting great top draws in this conversation

The good lord arishem is a loving and supporting god

 

[VashTheStampede]

gg 2nd key

 

[canadaguy]

Welcome to the faith my brother

TIL that because Blob has that Ongoing ability to not move, Mystique will copy his On Reveal ability since she copies the text of any Ongoing card.

I found that out recently.

Blob + mystique + absorbing man or
Blob + taskmaster + absorbing man is fun

So is some hot blob on Wong action

Blob Zola

 

[shortkut]

Blob Zola

That gives you 2 big blobs, the combos I mentioned give 3 regular blobs

 

[canadaguy]

Bigger is better baby

 

[VashTheStampede]

I know Alioth isn't exactly beloved in these parts, but using the purple fart to negate a double Shang Chi when the guy boomer snapped?

 

[canadaguy]

If Arishem giveth, then Alioth is fineth

 

[Crazy Jamie]

It’s just like I’m playing a completely different game. I feel like you can have the top 10 regular decks per week and then the top 5 Arishem decks.

 

[VashTheStampede]

It's like they released the Draft mode early

 

[Cole]

should we start sharing our Arishem decks now that we've all played with him a little?

 

[Cole]

I'll go first. open to suggestions, I'm getting moderate success.

ew. Oxford comma. gross.

The Oxford comma is the best comma

 

[canadaguy]

Praise him

 

[canadaguy]

Hopefully it's just a bug that arishem generates the cards with no border/effects. AFAIK cards from all other generators match the "parent" card effects so can't see why he should be different

 

[Benzine]

why aren't arishems queueing into my darkhawk zola deck

 

[VashTheStampede]

why aren't arishems queueing into my darkhawk zola deck

Good question. He has something like a 70% usage rate right now which is INSANE

 

[Benzine]

i'm playing the rest

i haven't been playing heaps so don't have a glut of keys so i missed arishem. i can probs get by end of week though.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Guy boomer snapped after I galactus'd the board. I assume it was a gag because Rickety Bridge would guarantee a draw. He fistbumped after I snapped back, then he played Blob.

Arishem giveth 8 cubes.

Almost felt a little bad

 

[canadaguy]

Praise him!

 

[Benzine]

3 keys no arishem but i'm glad i could take the luck hit for the team. i'll get him later in the week, i did have like 10k credits

 

[Benzine]

and i finally got the Hipp multiple man so i had a card to spend the credits on too

hipp deathlok is my most desired variant atm, followed by hipp phoenix, and hipp shuri. i don't actually know if these variants exist but they're what i want to get.

 

[shortkut]

Lol

I don't want to be a downer on all the Arishem fun, but it does feel like they've broken the game with him. I can't help but feel that the nature of Arishem decks is starting to wear a little thin on me now. Not so much playing them, but just playing against them so much as well. Whether you play him or not, the meta is dominated by it, whereas I thought the meta before he released was genuinely the best in a good while.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Yeah, I was just issuing the same concerns to the wife yesterday.

He's a tough card to nerf without completely destroying him.

That said, I'd been looking forward to a draft mode for ages so the All Arishem Meta is super fun for me. I can see people who are more into crafting an intricate, fun deck being very put off. But I thrive in chaos, so it's been good for me.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Also more fun tech:

Opponent played a Blob. I copy him with Rogue and then copy her with Mystique.

 

[shortkut]

I don’t think Arishem is broken because you don’t know what you’re going to get

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ok maybe the Arishem dr. doom and gloom was a little early. His play rate has dropped to a much more reasonable 35% or so, last I checked.

So he's basically just New Thanos.

Yeah I think the sweats all switched to Darkhawk/mystique/taskmaster

I have yet to face one of those decks

 

[VashTheStampede]

I run them in my Arishem

Same

Also, just got this guy for reaching season level 69

 

[shortkut]

lol, darkhawk on krakoa for turn 2 added +41 to enchantress

 

[VashTheStampede]

Just goofing off and stumbled into a last day infinite again

 

[canadaguy]

Hydra Bob hype train go!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Worst Series 5 card ever lol

 

[canadaguy]

They could release him at series 3 and he'd still be disappointing

 

[Cole]

it is becoming increasingly clear that I don't understand how Shadowking works.

can someone give me tldr?

 

[canadaguy]

He resets the card to the base power.

So like if you shadow King blank panther, he goes back to 4

It does not affect power from on going effects.

Someone tried to use shadow king on by darkhawk then retreated when it didn’t work

I mean, it worked

It just didn't do change his ongoing power

am I wrong for feeling like it's misleading then? I know it's not a new card, but I've only really begun to use him recently.

I knew it didn't change like, cerebro, or blue marv, and wouldn't break those, but I guess I thought individual ongoings, like darkhawk, ronan etc.

in writing this, I guess I PROBABLY should have made the connection? but I didn't, and its cost me a couple games.
