Card Shark 64: Chicken Costume

Happy Hump Day, everycreature! Welcome back to Card Shark! Apologies that today’s entry is a day late - I’ve been doing a lot of home renovations and had to go to work and the dentist yesterday and today. But I do have a new Canterlot Nights Card Shark ready for you! This is a Resource that is no Staff of Sacanas, but... you’ll see. Let’s take a look at “Chicken Costume!”

Bawk bawk, it’s almost spoopy season! This is a rather cheap Resource, costing only 1 AT and 2 Pink req to play on a Friend. Strategically, this is probably not something you’d play on one of your own Friends, as when the Friend wearing the Chicken Costume is exhausted, it is subsequently dismissed! At first glance, this is not a good Resource. It’s obviously not something you’d play on one of your own Friends. In today’s metagame, however? It may just have a little weight. Let’s say you play a Chicken Costume on your opponent’s Applejack, Factory Organizer or Starlight Glimmer, Guidance Counselor. When your opponent goes to exhaust them to get that extra AT, they’re getting the money but their Friend is going bye-bye. This effectively shuts down a bunch of Friends one would exhaust to activate their effects. That’s also not to mention the amount of cards in recent sets that exhaust opposing characters. One Bale Out or Sponge Cake Break can suddenly start looking like a Rolling Tones or Belly Flop while this card is on the field! And that’s far from sucky... especially if you have something like Magical Misfire or Somnambula’s Blindfold to block your opponent from getting those cards back. Never underestimate the power of an ornery avian accessory.

There’s gotta be a reason Pinkie switched from this costume to her roller derby costume the next Nightmare Night, right? Other than costume variety, let’s see: Like practically every Resource in the CCG, this Resource is a moving target for Resource removal cards like Brian, One Swell Guy, Bewitched Beavers, or Hyper Beam. If you stick this thing on a Friend that your opponent really wants to keep, chances are they’ll quickly be searching for either a way to vanquish the Chicken Costume or a second copy of the Friend in preparation for the dismissal. That’s pretty much the biggest issue at play. Getting rid of the Resource stops anything and everything tricksy you could do with this card. And... that’s it. In all seriousness, guys, I started writing this Shark thinking this would be another of those Premiere block Resources that doesn’t compare to Core Resources like the Staff of Sacanas. And this is in no way another Staff of Sacanas. But I actually really like the novelty of this Resource! Besides the Resource removal, this is an easy card to play and manage. It’s nothing to build a deck around, but if you have room in that (at least) partially-Pink Harmony deck for a couple of these, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Besides cards previously discussed, here’s a few other cards that give Nightmare Night quite the fright:

*Apple Bloom, Cutie Mark Crusader. While there’s a fair share of Manes that exhaust themselves to activate effects, there’s not too many that exhaust opposing characters. While I considered Grubber, Royal Announcer, I ended up choosing this one since you don’t have to pay anything to exhaust characters. You can also use her consistently turn after turn without the need to flip her back to her Start Side. Now that Applejack, Ambassador of Honesty has been banned, perhaps this is another Orange Mane that can rise to the top?

*Sweetie Belle, Cutie Mark Crusader. On the flip side, maybe you have enough exhaustion methods but want to milk the most out of your Chicken Costumes. Sweetie Belle here can freely retrieve any of your used Chicken Costumes should they end up being dismissed. Just keep in mind that Sweetie can’t save Resources from banishment, so if your opponent sicks a Hyper Beam or Special Beam Cannon on that thing, you’re out of luck.

*Grubber, Baked Bads. This Friend is one of the banes of my MLP:CCG existence. This one can also repeatedly and consistently exhaust opposing characters, both when it enters play and at the start of your turn. The really scary thing about this is that it isn’t Unique, meaning that hypothetically you could exhaust three characters at once without spending anything. Yeah... if you’re building an exhaustion deck, this should NOT be a card you pass up.

*Fume, Breathtaking. This suggestion is less about its ability to exhaust and more about how it can only ready one exhausted character at a time. Yes, as long as this thing is in play, opponents can’t ready more than one exhausted character during their Ready Step. So now your opponent not only has to deal with an exhausted Friend getting dismissed, but should other characters of theirs get exhausted, they have to plan around you incapacitating them all! Fume also exhausts a character for every Dragon you have in play when you play it, but TBH there aren’t too many Dragon cards you could really use well alongside a Chicken Costume, so I’d focus more on the first ability.

*Popping Corn. Jut when your opponent thinks they’ve evaded all your exhaustion methods, PSYCH you throw popcorn at them. This exhausts every character at a Problem with 2 or less power if your opponent’s Mane is on their Start Side and every character with 3 or less power if your opponent’s Mane is Boosted. This is also handy right before a Faceoff and can be sicked at the start of either player’s Score Phase. Considering the deck is already Harmony format if you’re using the Chicken Costume, this one can whip up a nice homemade meal if you use these two cards together.

Thanks for reading another installment of Card Shark! Next week I’m returning to the Crystal Games to look at a weird little Troublemaker! Hope you’ll return then to see which Troublemaker it is! Diamond out!
