I always genuinely wonder why people include Lockjaw in their decks when they almost never ever actually end up playing him. I know he's supposed to be an always available option and safety net, but when people consider playing him, I assume it's usually too late anyway. I watched a lot of Champions videos at this point and I barely saw anyone actually playing him when they put it in their decks. I'm probably in the minority with this opinion but it seems just like a really bad card and I never actually had a feeling my deck would be better using him. I also never felt like there was a situation where I wanted to have a Lockjaw available. It wouldn't have helped me. Just an opinion, I'm not here to bash anything, so please don't get me wrong! I learned quite a few things from your videos and I'm pretty grateful. I'm looking forward to your Hulk and Rocket review!
Lockjaw is good because he gives flexibility, I think in this game we always had options, but some of the lower hand size heroes can get into trouble if they draw into all resources. Resource sinks (like lockjaw, machine man, plan b, etc) allow you to do something with that hand. He also has a 2 thw stat which is great for hulk, as well as a physical resource to help with all the kickers. Last thing I will say is that he is a cheaper option than other 4cost allies. since you can play him from the discard you only pay 4ER for him vs needing to pay the 4 resources and the card from your hand. Meaning he is one resource less cost All in all, he is flexible and can be called upon in a time of need! Probably not my first option to play on a given turn, but nice to have if we get in a tough spot!
@@NelsonAllOverCards To me it still feels like too much of a niche option, or rather, too situational, but you put all the upsides nicely together and I honestly get your points. It always kinda amazes me how well you can explain things in your videos as well, I'm pretty bad with words unfortunately. I don't think I'm going to put him in my decks still, but I see the card in a much more positive view. I just like talking about the game like this in general because I get a lot more perspective on things I never considered before, or just under- or overvalued certain options.
I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you so much for your thoughts!
Thank you!
I just found this, I liked it before I even watched it. I love you Hulk. Wish he wasn't so hard to love in this game.
Love your videos! Why not run Leading Blow here? Alos, good luck finding Mightiest Avengers 🙂
Also, haha
I did find them! They were tucked away in my she hulk deck!
Also leading blow would have been an awesome include!!

i know the pros love Lockjaw, but its only a 50/50 card for me. ..thanks for the Hulk spotlight.
Anytime! And yea, he’s flexible which can really help if in a tough spot for a lot of heroes!
Surprised you didn’t proxy Earth’s Mightiest. Also, they’re probably with She-Hulk 😂
That’s exactly where they were!
@@NelsonAllOverCards lol I had a feeling!
