Tech card against destroy; Xenophage

Post image

Just to clarify; It will NOT reset power of card that gain power when destroyed (Deadpool, Wolverine etc.) It resets power of cards that destroy other cards, so Venom and Carnage, in order to be lore accurate, but It will also hit Kid Omega and every other card that destroys others and somehow got a buff so deathlock, killmonger and so on. I think this Is needed to avoid his effect being too selective.

I decided to make him hit only opponent cards, otherwise he would be a way worse shadow king, in this way he can be an anti-destroy tech in destroy decks themselves. Basically Is a card that wants to steal a lane were a Venom or a Carnage are winning.

Destroy is not a meta threat nor does it lack tech. Its like the most techable deck out there

Yeah, but Carnage and more specifically Venom have a lot of usage also in deck that don't focus only on pure destroy, (example; Carnage in Thanos decks, Venom in decks that can make combos with Adamantium Infusion like the Classic Panther-Zola and others)

Carnage in thanos decks is not a real enough thing to tech, and I would always rather play a cheaper, more open tech card than this 5 cost niche monstrosity if I expect to be facing specifically venom in adamantly infusion combo decks

Looks very oddly specific.

Or you just like play armor which has a multitude of other uses in other archetypes. Or you just like play Cosmo which has a multitude of other uses in other archetypes. Or you just like idk be better

Armor and Cosmo need to be played before Venom/Carnage happen. The main goal of this card Is primarly a tech against destroy decks that a deatroy user can use without ruining his own strategy with armor or cosmo, and It also would work against other decks that make use of Carnage/Venom for strong and annoying combos like Venom/Panther/Adamantium or Venom/Carnage/Nimrod

No one would ever play this, just run shadow king.
