Card | Series | Variant |
---|---|---|
Supergiant | 4 | In-Hyuk Lee |
Darkhawk | 4 | Tribute |
Zabu | 4 | Kai Lun Qu |
Starting off this month’s Spotlight cache is Supergiant, who looks like a meta warping card in her current state. Her ability to prevent cards from being revealed can attack specific decks like Sera, Bounce, and Destroy, preventing them from activating key cards. Initial datamines showed this card at a 1-Cost card, and it has since changed to a 4-Cost, which leads me to believe this card will have a strong effect on the meta and developers were making sure it doesn’t launch too strong.
The classic combo Zabu and Darkhawk also join this week! After Blob’s launch, Darkhawk all but vanished. After his latest nerf, could Darkhawk see a comeback? With ole reliable Zabu to back him up, this looks like a very powerful cache! It is a low value cache though with each card being from Series 4.

Card | Series | Variant |
---|---|---|
Cull Obsidian | 5 | In-Hyuk Lee |
Nimrod | 5 | Eduardo Francisco |
Thanos | 5 | Infinity Gauntlet |
Cull Obsidian leads the charge in this week’s cache. This card looked a lot better in the datamines, when he was a 4/10 with “cannot be destroyed”, but had to be played on an Infinity Stone. While it’s understandable the developers didn’t want one card to only be viable in a Thanos deck, at a 4/9, he is a very basic card and not that exciting to me. The fact he launches at Series 5 while Super Giant launches at Series 4 baffles me. It’s not a bad card, just not an exciting one.
What is exciting is Thanos! With his inevitable return this week, players can get their hands on this unique deck style, or this incredible comic variant. Nimrod also joins this week, though his play is pretty strictly seen only in Phoenix Force or Shuri Destroyer. Thanos easily carries the weight of this week’s cache, but is he enough to warrant your caches? Stay tuned!

Card | Series | Variant |
---|---|---|
Corvus Glaive | 5 | In-Hyuk Lee |
Gladiator | 4 | Inkpulp |
X-23 | 5 | Peach Momoko |
For the next iteration of “Second Dinner is addicted to energy manipulation cards”, Corvus Glaive launches this week. His ability is basically Hellcow with an energy buff. The question I have is what deck wants random discard, but also wants extra energy? This is definitely a card I’m excited to see the cooks get their hands on.
X-23 also joins this week’s cache! Though is rarely seen as a discard card, her usefulness in Destroy decks has helped put those decks to the top of the meta. Gladiator ends this week’s cache with a bang! Gladiator is a card that gets better or worse depending on the meta. If players are playing big cards, he’s worse. If players are playing smaller combo cards, he is incredibly powerful. This is definitely an interesting spotlight week!

Card | Series | Variant |
---|---|---|
Proxima Midnight | 5 | In-Hyuk Lee |
MODOK | 4 | Munching |
Daken | 5 | Fantasy |
Closing out this month’s cache is Proxima Midnight, MODOK, and Daken! Each of these discard-centric cards could he used in a deck together if you wanted. Proxima Midnight looks like a card your excited to get as a free 6 power card when you discard her, but bad when you have to play her from hand with no effect.
This card might perform well in a MODOK / Morbius deck that just wants to discard things for power. This gives you extra power for your discard, clear your hand for Swarms or Helicarrier, and doesn’t require Hela or Ghost Rider to get value back. This is a very synergistic week and I’m excited to see more flexibility for discard decks.
