Simple Question, if the following were a real card would you play it?
There's More Where that Came From...
 
Plot Twist 3

Target Character that has been powered-up this attack gets +2/+2 this attack.

Why? And in what decks?

I would see that fitting right into the Ally decks.

In the right deck (ally based) of course; a +2/+2 on attack or defense would be well worth playing with a proper setup. I think it is just the right power level where I would consider it, but it would not necessarily be a "must play".

But for a ally-deck, I'd rather it say "power up twice target character who has been powered up this attack". More flavorful.

What about in a Legend/clone deck?

Unlikely, unless I get a thematic bonus for powering characters up. Far too situational, especially if I have to potentially discard my 5 to try to get a bounce with my 4.

Isn't this is just a better version of assorted aliases (as you don't need to discard a different version and could use something like Tamarand to trigger it if necessary)?

I think you could certainly play it in a combat legend deck, Especially on defence that would be excellent, and of course ally decks (the various characters that give free Power-Ups or Nth metal would be good).

So overall I think it's a perfectly playable card. I personally probably wouldn't run it, but that is just because I like my legend decks to have a more controlling flavour.

At least 3 copies in an Ally-based deck.

I am all about the pumps, a +2/+2 that stacks on your already powered up guy makes a +3/+3.
That is a generic Crime Syndicate of Amerika that is not team stamped or need hidden.
Sure you need to power up but decks build on that aspect would now have a new punch card !

Well, lost city would prevent you characters from being powered up so I'm not sure it would be too fun for you...

Wouldn't work wtih Lost City because its effect replaces the power up. Same as LC and ally effects.


Edit - Snap.

I think the whole point is it would see play, but not be a must-include, so it is a good card design. For flavor I'd make it power the character up twice instead of just +2/+2.

Dave wants ally abuse, don't think we don't know, it says Evil right in your name.

Plot Twist 3

Target Character that has been powered-up this attack gets +2/+2 this attack, if that character has ally power that character up two more times instead.
