I tried him a 4 times and I got ebony maw twice. I learn after the first time not to play him by himself.

u/Skinnieguy 4h ago

Lol good point. He is still a yolo card. Maybe save him for anti polar magneto

2

u/Brinewielder 3h ago

3 out of 4 times J. Jonah Jameson. He has always been pretty sick though power wise and usually swings a lane with a downside.

Might have to run grandmaster and enchantress I guess and play this guy midlane until we get the hang of him, probs wanting to play midlane always anyway for cpt. Marvel, fantastic, claw etc

25

u/ganggreen651 4h ago

I got blue marvel, ravonna and iron man

u/Specialist_Job_2897 4h ago

That’s pretty good actually

u/Arikarin636 4h ago

Turns out, he isn't revealed in hand, but in play. Not shocking, but good to know

43

u/EnginearringProper 4h ago

I would have been shocked if it were the other way around. But yup, valuable information

-17

u/No-Throat-4694 4h ago

Makes it worse than rama imo ty for the info

16

u/misogichan 4h ago

Rama doesn't reveal in hand either, though.  How is it worse than Rama?

15

u/FeelingOk6872 3h ago

I'm also confused lol, people just say stuff without thinking.

2

u/Jackjenkins93 3h ago

That doesn't make any sense at all...

64

u/hakanaiyume621 4h ago

He's like Rama Tut then, just for ongoing? I love random bs cards like this, Sersi, Nightmare, etc. Makes it more exciting~ Rarely win, but still fun.

12

u/ganggreen651 4h ago

Correct

5

u/shadow_vinny 4h ago

I guess so, but isn't Rama tut limited to like a specific few cards? All that "released before his time" mumbo jumbo

7

u/TheHumanSpider6903 4h ago

Yeah, but that's only a year's worth of cards that's excluded, so it's not really limiting much

5

u/shadow_vinny 3h ago

Does it basically mean "cards that came out before Rama tut"? Like is that all it is?

4

u/TheHumanSpider6903 3h ago

Yeah, it's just any card that was released before it. So as time goes on, there will be more cards that Rama Tut won't pull from, but right now, that amount is pretty small

2

u/Leather_Bowl5506 1h ago

Well no, it is actually a selective list

0

u/Jackjenkins93 3h ago

That's not a specific few. That's well over 100 cards.

2

u/10SB 2h ago

A card among cards for those of us who place our faith in RNGsus. Amen.

1

u/CHUCKY_from_camp 3h ago

I got to infinity 4 times since launch. 2 of those times were Rama-Tut decks

2

u/hakanaiyume621 3h ago

Maybe I just don't have enough faith in my random bs deck

1

u/Lumpy_Young_22 2h ago

Mind dropping the list? I love that idiot card and want to have fun in the ladder

12

u/escloflowne 4h ago

First game I played against it the guy got Electro, US Agent and Ebony Maw

10

u/RIF_Was_Fun 4h ago

I’ve seen him once so far and I’ve been playing Doom 2099. It rolled Stardust and I just retreated.

1

u/Peluk_22 1h ago

Hey, i really want to build Doom 2099 and I'm waiting for it to show up on the shop rotation. Would you mind sharing your decklist? I've seen a million different builds online so I'm kind of lost on what works.

5

u/super_star_BETA 4h ago

Does the elctro also gives you +1 energy or just gives you the restriction?

22

u/ItemOk719 4h ago

Should only be the restriction, I believe the energy is On Reveal

18

u/Arikarin636 4h ago

The only reason Mystique gives the Max Energy is because of her text saying she copies the text, Red Onslaught only takes Ongoings

4

u/Specialist_Job_2897 4h ago

That’s so cheeks

1

u/Animaloffear56 2h ago

It makes Castle Zemo a very fun location at the least

4

u/Ninjalada 4h ago

I've gotten Typhoid Mary every time so far.

3

u/Brinewielder 4h ago

Mine was Cerebro, Mr. Fantastic, and J. Jonah Jameson. He pretty much always comes up on value.

4

u/Thedeadlypocketbrush Ramp 📈 3h ago

Weird, every time I've played against him today he's pulled omega red, blue marvel, gorr and iron man or some shit...😑.

I know if I spend the 6k tokens my majority pulls will be like what OP posted.

3

u/AceAnnihilator 4h ago

He doesn’t have a restricted pool like Rama tut?

4

u/No-Throat-4694 4h ago

He does for the archetype specific ones like destroy and afflict but not for the stinkers like  maw and electro. Highkey worse than rama

3

u/Animaloffear56 2h ago

I'd say Rama is worse because at least Red Onslaught is a pretty decent 4 drop in Spectrum decks while Rama doesn't really fit in anything

2

u/ZestyXtal 4h ago

I just have terrible rng, my opponent on the other hand gets 3 OP abilities. Oh well!

2

u/shadow_vinny 4h ago

Oh god I'm so sorry

2

u/Helpful_Painting_912 2h ago

Him and ramma tut are an unstoppable combo!!

2

u/Levintry 2h ago

Does he do anything special with Goliath since he is technically multiple ongoing cards?

2

u/9spaceking 2h ago

Just like the memes. Red onslaught when I play: your left lane is broken also you can’t play anything

Red onslaught when your enemy play: I gain 300 power and I win the game

2

u/Swordum 2h ago

Does it show the ongoing before playing or you need to play and see what you get? I don’t get why Electro would be in that pool

1

u/alexkayownsabus 22m ago

You don’t see what it is until you play it. And electro is in the pool because iron man, blue marvel, captain carter etc are in the pool.

1

u/GmePlyer 4h ago

Quin Jet, Stardust and US Agent against a toxic deck after playing new magneto👍

1

u/AdagioDesperate 3h ago

I think RO should be played alongside Mystique on 7.

2

u/Arikarin636 2h ago

Either that or play it turn six with Sera, but it's still too expensive IMO, maybe I'm still salty though, IDK

1

u/Rollingpumpkin69 3h ago

Lol it was a blast

1

u/Captain_Wrecks 3h ago

I played against someone who got, Typhoid Mary, Red Skull and Omega Red. I was like....ok!

1

u/ImpressiveSide1324 3h ago

What happens if you pair him with onslaught? Does he get 6 abilities?

1

u/psymunn 3h ago

My alliance mate got the amazing synergy of sera and electro... Us agent is pretty funny though 

1

u/mikeydangerous 2h ago

It took like 4 games to draw him, and my first time got me Ebony Maw, Blue Marvel and Cosmo. Fun stuff

1

u/Pilgrimzero 2h ago

Maw, Tribunal, Sera. Actually worked out well thanks to Iron Man boosted into the 100s

1

u/IronRagnarStark 2h ago

That's unfortunate

1

u/Confident_Ice_9567 2h ago

had a godroll today, iron man, goliath and wong. Perfect for the spectrum.

1

u/lejyndery_sniper 2h ago

omg I got so close from predicting this

I legit asked "so who was going to get the first maw, eletro starbrand. red onslaught

1

u/iKrisses 1h ago

My opponent just got this against me and i felt bad for him, the right one is Ebony Maw btw

1

u/alexkayownsabus 23m ago

Talk about value! All those words for only 4 energy.

1

u/ZendashB 17m ago

My opponent in draft got a mobius when i was running a death with clone augment🦧

0

u/NiggityNiggityNuts 3h ago

I love the wackiness…. Ongoing actually feels fun now

0

u/Chrisj1616 4h ago

Red Onslaught is honestly a much worse card than Ramatut...its kind of shocking this got released at 4 4. Ramatut has much fewer scamming rolls that can cost you the game as opposed to red onslaught which has a lot of ongoings thag can actively cost you the game

0

u/vsmack 3h ago

Hard agree. Either it needs a stat line buff or you let us see what he rolled while still in-hand.

They won't, but my preference would be:

Activate: Replace these with 3 other Ongoing effects.

Being able to reroll would mitigate the ass rolls and make it more fun

0

u/meloxs 4h ago

Lmao thanks for affirming my decision to not waste tokens on that card!

1

u/Jackjenkins93 2h ago

Definitely not a waste

0

u/leonprimrose 3h ago

It's such a dumb BS card lol but I love it and I'm strongly considering it just to do dumb BS things. I also love random bullshit decks on occasion. So this, OG Thanos, Arishem, Agamotto, Ramatut, and Red Onslaught would be a lot of fun for my stupid bullshit deck

0

u/AsuraKaizer 3h ago

I jus got popped 3 matches in a row in conquest because of him fuck that card. (He seemed good)

-6

u/Loop_Within_A_Loop 4h ago

isn’t this part of the card

when it’s good, you play him

when he’s bad, it’s just a dead card which isnt great but just don’t play him 4Head

9

u/Arikarin636 4h ago

It doesn't tell you his ongoing effects before you play him

1

u/Barredbob 2h ago

Unless you’re running kang (the fuck is wrong with you) you’d not know what his abilities are till you slap him on the board

1

u/Jackjenkins93 2h ago

Do you know tuts abilities before you play him? No, you don't. Same principle here.

-3

u/boogledavid 4h ago

Damn straight. He’s usually 5th or 6th turn play depending on the situation but never ever play him immediately.

1

u/Jackjenkins93 2h ago

... what would be the point of that?
