Worst: Superlaser Siege Cannon

Hot Garbage! That’s right Brian. This card is a money pit and the worst part about it is that its simply one die that your opponent needs to remove and then it does nothing. I’d rather play Fist, Mega Blasters, Entourage, Hailfire tank, Planetary Bombardment, the list goes on. This is one support I probably wouldn’t even waste a Desperate Measures on since the die is so easy to control.

Best: Desperate Measures

Speak of the devil, this card is meta warping. If you run supports you now need to be able to protect them from this card. In practice, this card needs to be used during the first half of the game when your health pool is larger. Even with that stipulation the effects of this card will be felt throughout the meta. Big supports aren’t the only target though. Let’s say your’e playing against an upgrade deck and your opponent plays IBAT with their first action. You know the value for DM is low in this match so why not take out the support that will generate them resources the entire game? You’ve now stifled their turn one ramp and are probably ahead in the ramp race.

Worst: Moving Rocks

I don’t like spending 3 on most events but definitely not one that has this low of an impact. If you play this card and steal, say 9 shields my question would be, what the hell were you doing the rest of the game? The only application I can imagine is in a mill deck where you are playing on your battle field and you’ve played pacify twice or if you’re playing into Ewoks and they trigger a Diplomatic Protection to gain a dozen shields.

Wildcards:

Best: Dead or Alive

This is the bounty that changes everything. Since the debut of downgrades many people in the community have criticized their effectiveness and rightfully so. They had next to no impact on the previous meta. This is the first bounty that immediately gives you something in return. It can act as an IBAT or Tech Team and at the same time enable all of your effects that rely on having a bounty. I see this card finding its way into many decks this meta
