Daredevil, Kitchen Cleaner (Marvel Knights)

5 cost, 9 ATK, 9 DEF, Range

Activate >> Remove any number of target attacks from this attack.  Lose endurance equal to the combined cost of characters removed this way.

Um... I'm not so sure about this guy.  9/9 Range for 5 cost isn't anything special (its actually quite average).  But his ability removes attackers from combat and then deals damage to you equal to what they were attacking for.  But, someone correct me if I'm wrong (PLEASE), doesn't removing them from combat Ready them and allow them to attack again?  I thought that is the way it went.  If not, someone email me how it works at:

darrishellbinde@yahoo.com

Unfortunately, my time this morning is short, so I can't look the rule up myself (I know, I should know it already).  If characters DON'T become ready Daredevil here would be downright sick.

Anyway, someone please email me how that works.  Until then, I will give him a solid 3 all the way down, because... well... I just don't know how good or bad he actually is.

Sealed: 3/5 (Just cuz it would be unfair to give him a 1 or 5 because I'M an idiot and know the rules)

Constructed: 3/5 (Same reason)

Daredevil was played by Ben Affleck in a movie. In a different movie Ben Affleck “starred” alongside Matt Damon.  The words Matt Damon are funny.

 

Also the words Ben Affleck are kind of funny.

 

And today we look at Daredevil <> Kitchen Cleanser.

 

Now I know, this card has a stupid name, but I still love it to pieces. I really do. Both artwork and ability adopt a messianic and self-sacrificial tone which fully encapsulates the character of Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil.

 

He’s doing everything he can to save you, and it’s hurting him to do so.

 

Put in game terms, by using Daredevil’s ability you can remove any number of target attackers from an attack. You’ll lose endurance equal to the total cost of those attackers. But since the attackers were removed from the attack they will not ready and will remain exhausted (i.e. they can not attack you again).

 

So you see, in the end you were saved, but not without a cost. 

 

Biblical parallels aside, Daredevil can not only stop team, but also individual attacks, and he can use his ability to protect any character you control. And you can even use him as an emergency get out clause, should you have launched an attack which has backfired badly. 

 

Daredevil is team stamped but since Marvel Knights has the best search card of any team (Wild Ride), you could easily throw him in any stall deck you like. Or simply add him to a Marvel Knights deck to help control the game.

 

I’m trying to be objective here, but as I said before, I really do love this card to pieces.

 

Constructed: 5/5
