VS PREVIEW MEV-249 THE STARJAMMER.

By Joe Corbett

The Star Jammer is the base of operations for the Star Jammer’s. Some of Marvels finest to pilot the Star Jammer include Christopher Summers, Havok & even Thor. These pilots braved in epic battles across the Cosmos of the Marvel Universe. Depending on the story arc they battled everywhere from the Shi’ar empire to the great Brood home world itself. However, as exciting & spell bounding as these missions were I believe this Vs card previewed here today is one of the most intriguing & unique Vs cards I have ever seen.

 

So let us just get to the preview.

 

I was confused the first time I read this card. Initially, my thoughts gravitated towards the card DCL 199 Master Plan. Then I read the “you can build resources from any KO’d Pile” again & again annnnnnnnnnnnnnd again until it hit me. This card is ridiculous! It is one of thee most unique Vs cards ever. My next thought was how much I wanted to break this out against Galactus Giant sized. This card would be so nutty in Multiplayer. The Star Jammer simplified is a free card in your resource row every turn out of ANYONE’s KO pile & it does NOT target. Take that Galactus! Eat your heart out Garth!

 

Another high note about The Star Jammer is the fact that it has shift. This means it is probable that the Star Jammer’s do not have to go off curve to play The Star Jammer. Thus, you could use the shift ability on turn 1 or 2 paying 1 resource point so you can recruit it later at your leisure.  You may also have noticed that The Star Jammer has concealed optional giving this card a fighting chance to stay into play.*

Should a Proud Zinco Product really be able to take out a space ship?

 

For those of you who did not know the Star Jammer’s are going to have discard theme & what could be more perfect then to have free card every turn from anyone’s KO’d pile. Maybe if the Future Foes had The Star Jammer? I guess this makes it much easier to decide what to discard for Sex Muffin here:

 

 

Why is green always the sexiest color? 

After much thought about how to abuse this card one card kept coming mind & that is Mirror Image. I thought it would be great to have deck that would just mimic your opponent’s deck. While currently this idea seems rather clunky, imagine this combo:

1)      Mono Shield or Mono Marvel Knights

a.       The Star Jammer (Steal your opponents cards & put them in your row)

b.      Secret War (Team up with Star Jammer’s & possibly whatever team your opponent has)

c.       Neighborhood Watch (ditto)(for MK)

d.      Mirror Image (Steal your opponents characters on defense)

e.       Mimic (Exiles 4 drop)(Steal ability’s)

f.        Life Model Decoy (on defense)

g.       Siphon Energy

h.       Have a Blast/Death of a Dream (kill your opponents row & then put it into your own via The Star Jammer)

i.         The Captain maybe?

 

 

It does not seem like a solid idea yet however, it would be fun to see something like this in action. Considering we neither have seen all the Star Jammer’s cards nor the entire MEV set maybe there is a possibility for a mimic themed deck. I think it would be delightful to be able to out-play your opponent with his own cards. With what we have seen from MEV thus far, it will be intriguing to see if this becomes an actual deck strategy. The Star Jammer is one of those cards that not only make VS interesting but also makes me want to go out & buy a whole lot of Marvel Evolutions.

 

I hope all of you are as excited as I am about MEV. If I can get this deck strategy or any other deck to abuse The Star Jammer expect to see an article about it soon right here on the Inky Blot. Until then good night, good day & Happy Thanksgiving.
