Featured Location: Tarnax IV

Our new location today is Tarnax IV! Let’s talk about what does and doesn’t synergies with this crazy effect!

Tarnax IV

After you play a character here, transform it into another one of the same Cost.

The best thing to be doing here is playing cards that can add a bunch of power elsewhere with On Reveal abilities. The strongest options here are, Tiger and Doctor Doom which then get to transform into a new expensive card.

Tarnax Negative

Here’s a sample list with some other fun options, including the Panther Zola combo, another way to take advantage of dropping Electro into Tarnax. This list is a little silly, but can pull off some INCREDIBLY powerful combos with and without Tarnax IV.

Surfer Deck

Silver Surfer

On Reveal: Give your other 3-Cost cards +2 Power.

Silver surfer also presents an interesting option today. Firstly, transformed cards in Tarnax, like Ironheart and Crystal, will still be 3-cost, so Surfer can still pump them. Surfer too can be played into the location to spread power elsewhere and then likely contribute additional power to Tarnax.

Ironheart

On Reveal: Give 2 of your other cards +3 Power.

Crystal

On Reveal: Each player draws a card.

Move Deck

Move strategies can also access Tarnax while keeping to their typical play patterns- except they won’t be able to drop a Kraven into Tarnax (at least not easily). Move isn’t typically the best strategy, but today it can allow you to stick to a consistent game plan.

Kraven

When a card moves here, this gains +2 Power.

What won’t work with Tarnax!

Don’t get tricked here! This YouTube Short also includes examples of all of these things in action!

Absorbing Man

On Reveal: If the last card you played has an On Reveal, copy its text. (if able)

Don’t play Absorbing Man after you’ve just played a card into Tarnax. Note: This can copy a transformed card’s ability!

Werewolf By Night

After you play a card, move there to gain +2 Power if it has an On Reveal.

Because the cards you play transform, I’m expecting Werewolf to NOT jump to the location, similar to how it won’t move to a Demon transformed by Nico’s spell. Note again: If the transformed card also has an On Reveal, this will move (even if the original card didn’t have an On Reveal).

Professor X

Ongoing: Moving is the only way to add or remove a character from here.

This isn’t Quantam Tunnel! Tarnax is stronger than the Professor and will transform him into something new!
