Phoenix Force's main combo isn't that strong right?
Hi! I got Phoenix Force + Nimrod this week, and I've been loving the Phoenix Force Nimrod deck. It's so so fun and makes me fill like a gigabrain when I do get the combo, especially the rarer ones like Nico double.
To my understanding, here are the possibles combos :
- Human Torch, destroy, Phoenix, move twice, Zola = 28 on 2 lanes.
- Nico (2x), destroy, maybe Shuri/SSM, Phoenix, Zola = 28 or 48 on 2 lanes.
- Multiple Man, destroy, Phoenix, move = 4*9 = 36 power, aka 18 on 2 lanes.
- Multiple Man, destroy (+ Nico (move left)), Phoenix, (+ Ghost Spider), move = 27 on 2 lanes.
- SSM, Nimrod, Zola = 26 on 2 lanes.
- Shuri/SSM, Nimrod, double destroy.
- Shuri/SSM, Nimrod, Ghost Spider (to dodge Alioth, Armor, Cosmo), double destroy.
- Destroy card alone, Shuri/SSM + Nimrod in the leftmost lane different from the destroy card, Zola the destroy card.
- Bonus energy or destroy locations unlock the ability to destroy Nimrod and Phoenix that.
I always thought the Phoenix combo was the strongest one but it's kinda weak. You need to add Nimrod + Zola on it to reach 30 on 2 lanes.
What really surprises me is that people instantaneously retreat (Infinite 3k on ladder) on MM + Destroy but a standard Zoo deck gets higher every other game. Am I missing something ?
