Gogo is just overall way stronger and can do way more cool stuff

When Gogo becomes a copy, does it trigger any ETB abilities of creatures he copies?

u/copperhead035 2d ago

Gogo isn’t entering the battlefield when it makes a copy of another creature, so no

[[rose, cutthroat raider]] can do everything Luke cage can and waaayyy more, consider her

Why isn't LUKE CAGE! indestructible?

u/tentagil 1d ago

Yeah, he really should have indestructible instead of Trample. And not sure what about his character made them think Treasure Tokens either. Cool card but a flavor fail.

No contest gogo

Gogo is a good time. Runs into typical mono red problems but because he has haste and gives haste gogo is gas all the time

Gogo would be better for aggro

Out of these two I'd pick Gogo. I just built [[Seifer Almasy]] and he's pretty fun. Mono red feels fun to build so far.

Gogo, by far.

He is like a pseudo Isshin, but gives haste and power.

It can one hit kill a plaver with [[Twinflame Tyrant]]. When it copies the Tyrant, both become 5/5 dragons with flying that doubles the damage. With two damage doubles, you are then quadrupling your damage. If you swing at someone who doesn't have flying, 5+5 times 4, equals 40 damage.

And there are other things to do, like the og Etali, Balor can burn really hard, both Krenkos have good synergy with Gogo as well, [[Fang, Roku's Companion]] can make 24 damage in a turn, [[Goldlust Tryad]], [[Goldspan Dragon]] and if you are really rich [[Ancient Copper Dragon]], can ramp you a huge fucking lot.

I’m biased toward Luke Cage for a bunch of reasons lol

Gogo has more potential though, Luke would be decent in the 99

There’s about a million options better than Luke Cage, unless you like him for the character

Loveeeeeee me some Gogo, you can play so many fun creatures, here’s my list: https://archidekt.com/decks/24810647/mime_over_matter

He basically enables a lot of weird shenanigans with other legendary creatures and the small +2 buff is really helpful for things like Fang, Combistion Man, Ryan Sinclair. And getting two synergistic attack triggers on things like Laelia and Dragonhawk or two damage triggers on Hidetssugu and Twinflame are so much fun
