Power: Physical attack doing +5 power stages of damage. If
successful, your opponent discards a card from his hand.
Kogu only proves how great Black Bojack is. His ability to discard a
card from your opponent’s hand is awesome, even if it is chosen. It
gives Bojack decks amazing card advantage, and with a little more
discard ability in Black Body Destruction and Kogu’s Dual Strike,
this guy and easily control hand size and give Bojack decks the
edge.
The chosen discard does mean your opponent can take him and ditch a
pointless card, but that +5 isn’t going to be +5 very long. Tack on
Black TS, and a couple allies with Bojack’s card power and it can
easily send your opponent to zero.
Early card advantage leads to more attacks hitting in the early
game, so hence he’s a great ally to get out first. Not many decks
can take a physical for +5 that they can’t let hit them for very
long. That attack is generally around every single turn until he’s
removed, so capitalize while he’s around.
Even in villain ally decks, his card power is nothing to laugh at. A
big attack with a great secondary effect into one makes him a nice
option.
Standard: 4.5 out of 5.0 (big physical and hand manipulation via
discard is good) Tuff Enuff: 4.5 out of 5.0 (ditto)
Sealed: 4.9 out of 5.0 (not as many physical blocks in sealed; hands
very important, and he’s an ally...) ~matthewlow

Kogu Level 1
Bojack Unbound Subset
Wow, Another insane Ally for Bojack to use at his disposal. This guy
has just about everything in his allies, which takes a lot of cards
out of decks and leaves room for better combos and set-ups.
Kogu is a C through and through, which makes him a great Physical
Soak. It also gives him a great beatdown position when your opponent
is at 0. However, thats not what makes him great.
Physical Attack doing +5 Power Stages (+1 for each Unbound Ally in
play, so auto +6) of Damage. If Successful, your opponent discards a
card from his hand.
Hand advantage is awsome, and simply put, this guy gives you a
chance to discard stuff very quickly. Tied in with Bujin, other than
the fact that you now have a +7 power stage attack, you've also got
card lock down. Thats just evil. No one deserves to have that coming
at them, but, there are ways around it.
Kogu makes Bojack just mean, for now he has hand advantage almost
every turn. Give him Black Smoothness Drill and Black Weakness
Drill, and I feel sorry for your opponent every turn. This is why
Bojack Black works so well, not his power stage bonus, not his
compatabily with the TS Mastery, but because his allies work off the
fundamentals of what black does best, Manipulation.
Rating: 4.0 of 5. Darn good ally, just evil with Bojack.
