How Plunder Castle Works
Plunder Castle is an interesting location,restricting the player’s ability to use many of the cards in their deck on this location.Plunder Castle only allows cards with a Cost of 6 to be played on it. While this can be circumvented using cards with Move Effects, it can make it difficult to build up field presence at this location before the final turn.
6-Cost Cards that Work Well on Plunder Castle
The first and most obviousoption for securing this location is by playing a 6-cost card on it, meaning players will have to make their move on the final turn. One strategy here would be simply playing a strong card with no effect, like the Hulk (in lower series) or Orca, in hopes of overpowering anything the opponent plays on the location. Players looking to overpower their opponent could also play the Destroyer here to try and win through overwhelming force, though the destruction effect makes it a riskier play. The Infinaut could also work for this strategy if players avoid playing anything on turn 5.
Alternatively, making use of 6-cost cards with effects that could tip the odds in the player’s favor,like using Leader to copy the opponent’s cards on the locationand win through strength of numbers, could bring players victory here. Agatha Harkness might work here if she decides to play herself on the final turn, and Apocalypse could single-handedly win the location quite effectively if players are running a discard deck and made good use of his effect.
Galactus is a risky but potentially effective choice here too, if the opponent is winning at the other locations and chooses to strengthen their positions there rather than play a card on Plunder Castle. Lady Deathstrike can also be very useful here, since an opponent relying on their turn 6 play to take this location will have their big 6-cost card wiped out and leave Plunder Castle in her hands.
Cards that can indirectly Play Cards on Plunder Castle
Another strategy that can work well when Plunder Castle shows up is utilizing cards that move cards between locations or create cards on a location. This can allow players to evade Plunder Castle’s restriction and get lower-cost cards onto the location.Doctor Doom and White Tiger spring to mind here, along with cards like Iron Fist and Heimdall, allowing players to create and/or move cards to Plunder Castle and build up an advantage.
As a side note, cards that reduce the cost of the opponent’s cards,like Wave for example, can prevent them from playing any cards on Plunder Castle during the last turn and ruin their strategy for dealing with the location. If the Elysium location turns up this could also cripple player’s abilities to play cards directly to this location.
