For A) Early board advantage
B) Swarm decks (ouch!)

very good card...

screws up combat math while trying to team attack...
wipes board clean of little pesky peeps...(alfred,wild sentinel)
the low def can be a problem though but good when you have init.
when defending you can use the ability anyway...
GOOD card...

I agree with the others. Very versatile and he's a reservist to boot. So he can be used to fuel other effects and recruited from the resource row!

hes got a nice attack for a 4 drop and the effect stops those annoying vomit decks.

He's way down the list as far as avenger four drops. In Team attack Avengers you're going to have Iron Man and Carol Danvers. In beat Avengers you're going to want Thor and Iron Man. Either way, this guy is third string. Maybe in all out reservist... he might be able to sneak in with Carol... but he's sort of a third stringer. His five drop will be dropped in alot more Avengers deck than the guy who's actually an avenger.

He's good to have in play when you don't have initiative on turn 4. Nice stats for a 4 drop If I might add and he has a built in Flame Trap ability to boot.

It says TOTAL cost of 2 or less, meaning either a 2 drop, or 2 1 drops, correct?

good for a reservest deck, but not real good for a team attack...

and yes I believe the total sum can be two 1 drops or one 2 drop...

Since when is Hawkeye a Reservist? For decades it's been "Well, we need a new team of Avengers. Let's go get Hawkeye."

I think he's a reservist because he's always leaving getting kicked off the team

this guy is great for reservist and team attack better than iron man for team attack, all around one of the best characters for the team
