Bullseye's Mechanics
Bullseye is a 3-cost, 3-power card with the ability: "Activate: Discard all 1-cost or less cards from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power."
This makes him a potent addition to discard-centric decks. His activation is crucial; pre-turn 6 is ideal. Note that the "-2 Power" effect targets different enemy cards, preventing multiple debuffs on a single card.
Bullseye synergizes well with cards like X-23 and Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), though these combinations haven't gained widespread recognition. His 3-cost limits his play window, rendering him ineffective on the final turn.
Top Bullseye Decks
Bullseye's optimal use appears to be within variations of discard decks, rather than as a standalone centerpiece. Two prominent examples are highlighted below:
Discard Deck (Classic Style):
- Scorn
- X-23
- Blade
- Morbius
- Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)
- Swarm
- Colleen Wing
- Bullseye
- Dracula
- Proxima Midnight
- MODOK
- Apocalypse
This deck utilizes the standard discard archetype, enhanced by Bullseye. Key Series 5 cards include Scorn, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), and Proxima Midnight. Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) can be substituted with cards like Gambit. The strategy involves using Bullseye to debuff the opponent's board with discounted Swarms and other cards, setting up Dracula and Apocalypse for a decisive victory.
Hazmat Ajax Deck (Alternative):
- Silver Sable
- Nebula
- Hydra Bob
- Hazmat
- Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)
- U.S. Agent
- Luke Cage
- Bullseye
- Rocket Raccoon & Groot
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax
This high-cost deck incorporates Bullseye into the Hazmat Ajax strategy. Several Series 5 cards are essential: Silver Sable, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), U.S. Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. Hydra Bob is potentially replaceable with another 1-cost card. Bullseye complements Hazmat by debuffing the opponent, boosting Ajax's effectiveness. Its viability compared to Red Guardian-inclusive decks remains to be seen.
Is Bullseye Worth the Investment?
Bullseye's value is subjective. If you're not a fan of discard or affliction strategies, he might not be worth investing Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens. His niche application and reliance on specific deck archetypes make him less versatile than cards like Moonstone or Aries.
