So that dirty zoo deck where you try to play card-count based boosts during rounds 2-5 and then plop down six 1 costs on round 6 for a surprise win, but with the flex picks optimized for the Bar Sinister event.

It works nicely since the deck cares so little about rounds 1-3; you can wait until you know the locations before needing to commit. If the Bar doesn’t come up, pivoting to the normal play is no problem.

The ideal endgame is 4x Vision on round 5, followed by 4x Blue Marvel and Squirrel Girl on round 6. That’s so much flexibility and cross-board power that it doesn’t really matter what you did in the initial rounds as long as it didn’t fill the board.

I put the Hobgoblin in to fill the same role as Vision, to get more consistent draws, but it is a lot harder to use. You really need priority on round 5 to reveal Hobgoblin before the opponent reveals in the Bar and fills it up, and the deck is set up to not have priority in the endgame.

In a reversal, I’m typing this post on a laptop rather than on mobile, so that means I don’t have access to my phone’s screenshot gallery. But dropping a note of thanks for this tweak.

I’ve been trying the Nightcrawler->Blue Marvel->Onslaught play like a lot of others, but this deck allows for more flexibility/unpredictability. Also, it’s been kinda hilarious to mess with people via Hobgoblin (though I learned the hard way that using him on Bar Sinister means leaving one copy on your side still).

The Bar Sinister Zoo is a nicely timed break from my Midnight Sons Discard, though I still run into players who are surprised when my Bar Sinister Dracula juggles Apocalypse four times.
