Can’t stand Bashing Shield? Sabotage is on your planet! For those last week that guessed the Wave 5 stratagem for Autobot Gears, you’ll set it straight!
Combined with Autobot Gears’ ability to manipulate opposing Upgrades, Sabotage piles even more frustration onto your opponent’s plans. Some of the most powerful Upgrades in the game have “When you put this on a character” triggered abilities, and Sabotage nullifies those effects. Tired of watching Armed Hovercraft hit your 4-wide team? Sabotage puts a stop to that! Drill Arms won’t be drilling much with this stratagem on the board.
Upgrade denial is, in fact, the order of the day when you play the Changing Gears deck, listed in full at the bottom of the article. You may be shutting down your opponent’s Armed Hovercraft plays, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make some of your own. Durable Decepticon will help to keep your big bruiser Raider Skytread on the field, and Gears and Sabotage will help keep Sparring Gear on him… assuming your opponent doesn’t have a removal Action waiting to ruin the plan.
Next week’s character is a soldier and a scholar in Org Wave 9, firmly against the encroachment of oppression… or, more accurately, Oppression. What road warrior awaits in next week’s Card?
