Full Version: Stop Gorilla Grodd

Gorilla Grodd, Simian Mastermind is the only reason GLOCK beats my deck. I need a way to stop him taking my 4 drop on turn 6. A card that exhausts their 5 drop before the combat phase or negates a payment power or anything that will stop Gorilla Grodd from activating his effect. A card that can be splashed would be great. Tell me there is a card out there that can help me. I thought I hated Titians, but GLOCK is twice as annoying.

Entangle.
But you need the init for it to work
Failing that, play titans and Roy the 5 Drop
Rogue
He doesn't need the inititive for Entangle. He just needs the 6 drop and a card to discard. Entangle works perfectly (unless you want to stop him stealing your 6 on turn 7, cause Entangle won't help there).

Utility belt, Fatality, Mystic Paralysis, Banished to the anti-matter universe. the list is pretty endless.

- Anything that negates a payment power
- Anything that forces a player to change there formation
- Anything that allows you to exaughst a character
Bobby
Nick, are you talking about SS or X men lol?
Lord Phoenix
Thanks for the suggestions, not much which is splashable. Entangle is the best, or if I run Gorilla Grodd then I can steal my 4 drop back. Its more important then the 5 drop.

Bobby: I'm not releasing the info on this deck until it beats GLOCK a few times.

Banished to the anti-matter universe

banished is unprotected so it is dodgeable (was tripping on dodgeball).

I love this determination - see you in the T8.
Bobby
Lol, Nick obv knows Melbourne Meta.

gorilla grodd makes baby jesus cry.

if you manage to tape their 5 drop, they can still take your 3-drop.

Bobby
Come on Nick, you know you can tell me your deck wink.gif
Lord Phoenix
What is GLOCK's main defencive plot twist? Something they when you atk them?
Bobby
Entangle, Cover Fire ect.
Lord Phoenix
Name a character card that stops Covering fire. Hint it has the affiliation of one of the teams you named earlier.
Unearthed Name
huh? is there any character that can make you lose range? polaris make you lose flight
techno
And range...

Polaris 4-drop (X-Men team) makes your opponent's characters lose flight and range at the start of your attack step, effectively hosing Cover Fire.
Unearthed Name
ah ok
Lord Phoenix
WOOT ! Go Polaris, I knew one day she would do more than just combo with Archangel. That's why I gotto find a way around Gorilla Grodd, he can steal her before her effect kicks in. I could always use Rogue 6 drop to KO Gorilla, but by this point I have lost Polaris.
Unearthed Name
steal her back using piper
Like
Unearthed Name is right. Except you'd have to splash Chomin (or team-up with Arkham and use Blackgate Prison) to get Polaris stunned first to "piper-uppercut" back.

Alternatives.

1. Team-up with Avengers, when they go to Grodd your Polaris use Chaos Magic to make them steal Hank Pym <> Yellowjacket instead. Or use Walk Through Walls.
2. Project Liberator.
3. Leech, Inhibitor.
4. Team-up with JLA, when they go to Grodd your Polaris use Ray Palmer <> The Atom to negate the effect.
5. Turn 6, when they go to Grodd your Polaris crack a Genosha and then use Fatality, Emerald Assassin's ability to negate the effect.
6. Team-up with Spider-Friends, when they go to Grodd your Polaris negate it with Nice Try!
7. KO all your other characters and flip Star of the Show.
8. Team-up with Squadron Supreme and use AIDA.
9. Team-up with Marvel Knights, play a piece of equipment, KO the equipment with Quentin Carnival to negate the Grodd effect.
DarkJason
In addition to 9:

Team-up with Marvel Knights, flip Quentin Carnival to attach an equipment, flip up another Quentin Carnival to negate the effect. Everyone's a winner!

KO'ing your opponents 5-drop on turn 5 is another way of stopping Grodd from wrecking Polaris 4.

Alternatively, you could team up X-men with Brotherhood and League of Assassins and on turn 5 recruit Post, stunning himself, then "Dual Nature" it another Polaris 4-drop into play. No way your GLOCK playing opponent could possibly deal with 2 Lorna Danes! (This also works with a 5-drop with Evasion, either Spider-Friends or Morlocks with League of Assassins)

Null Time Zone The Cover Fire !

Geez Bobby, that's a little... unnecessarily complicated, don't you think.
Bobby
Nick may just find that a little hard to understand tongue.gif
Unearthed Name
i still think that we're talking about how to stop gorilla grodd, not the cover fire
