Today we look
at the common Banker character Moneychanger.
It’s not your regular ATM…
For a cost of 3 with a threshold of 2, this 2/2/3
isn’t going to win you any battles. But that’s not
what it’s there for anyway. With its ability, and
the possibility of making it a card drawing engine,
it’ll more than make up for its lack of battle
prowess.
By paying nothing and putting a token on him causing
-1/-1, draw a card.
Lets see how many ways we can abuse this engine:
Secret Handshake once every 4 turns or so, which
also nets you a draw, will keep things moving along
nicely..
Ectological Hazard Suit counters the tokens by
giving +1/+1 while the Moneychanger gives it -1/-1.
Furtive Investor allows you to remove a token from a
non-resource card at the start of your turn.
Market Oracle will remove a token with naught but a
deplete.
Viodal Poisoning will be happy to remove all the
tokens built up on it and maybe give you a draw or
two.
Every gear card that increases life!
In a game of options, the more cards you have in
hand equals more options. When you have more options
than your opponent, you have the advantage if not
the game.
In limited, just getting 2 draws out of this card is
great for a cost of 3. In constructed, this card is
begging to be abused.
Limited: 4/5
Constructed: 4/5

Moneychanger
This is just one more Banker character that makes me
want to use Voidal Poisoning. In Constructed it
needs heavy support, but a draw a turn can be worth
it if you can manage it.
In Limited, it's nothing to write home about.
However, it is a wonderful chump blocker. If its
going to die anyhow, deplete it and add a token to
draw a card. Heck, if you know you're going to be
using it as a chump blocker before hand, use the
ability once at the end of your opponent's turn, and
then the next turn while blocking, after their
character has assigned damage.
Constructed: 2.5/5
Limited: 3/5 |
