Detective
Chimp
So, I know nobody missed me, but I thought I’d
come back and stop being lazy. I read over the
new banned list. Some made sense, some didn’t.
So I guess I’ll give my two cents. Oh, and never
go to college. It’s bad for you…
Detective Chimp
Bobo T. Chimpanzee
Shadowpact/1/1/1
Loyalty – Reveal, Concealed
Pay 1 endurance > Choos a team affiliation.
Affiliated characters you control and affiliated
characters you own in all zones gain the chosen
team affiliation. Use this power only once per
turn.
When this card came out, I immediately knew it
was broken, even before the banned list. Though
I never succeeded in creating the deck I wanted
with this card, I know why it was banned. Think
of Midnight Suns, but instead, characters you
own in all zones have all team affiliations ever
printed (or not printed, for that matter. More
on that later…). Put it simply, team stamps mean
absolutely nothing in a deck with Detective
Chimp. Teen Titans Go? Done. Bamf? Done. Other
Earth? Done. I know he has loyalty, so just
reveal another Detective Chimp or some other
crappy Shadopact character like Captain Marvel
and you’ll be fine.
If you threw in the best plot twists, locations,
and characters from any team into your deck and
throw in Detective Chimp, you got a winner.
DC Modern: All the good stuff is in Silver Age
1/5
Silver Age: Ah, much better 4/5
Golden Age: Broken 5/5
Overall: 3/5
Thank you, and good night.
