OMG, you killed Pope Timmy! You Bastards! | Forums

Pope + MBP was a pain in the ***. That combo along with Pope + Call Girl was the main reason for the nerf.

If you didn’t run a cancel spell/player then Pope + MBP was incredibly difficult to deal with, and an easy win that required little skill to pull off.

I am personally happy that that combo is no longer around, but I agree the nerf went way too far. They could have simply reduced his resurrection to max cost 5, or made it so he couldn’t resurrect legendary cards; or made it so he resurrected (well technically summoned) a random card from your hand (like Call Girls warcry) with no max energy cost. With the last example you could still resurrect both Call Girl & MBP but it wouldn’t be guaranteed and therefore not so OP.

RIP: Pope Timmy

Oh, but Pope Timmy still lives! By arranging a deck with him, ManBearPig/Scuzzlebutt, and 2-cost units, Pope Timmy’s summoning of expensive units is guaranteed! (The rest of the slots are to be filled with Spells, Traps, and Totems.)

Superheroes works best with this kind of deck. Captain Diabetes and Chaos Hamsters are 2-cost, both Trap cards and Super Fart are cheap, and Mysterion never has to be drawn again (as long as he isn’t transformed). The fast card cycling is amazing.

Yup, I've been running into this build more and more (around the 7500 Elo arena) lately. Let's see: MBP, maybe GWC (or something equivalent), Pope Timmy, bunch of 2 cost spam units (especially those that boost energy gain), Energy Staff (why not, really go for it), spells/traps/totems. As Jeavany (another message) said - and something I advocated for all along - just leave Pope's stats unaltered and just make it so that he could not resurrect Legendary cards. Instead we get this mess.

Well everyone was crying that Pope and Corner Girl was to OP and that Scuzzlebutt would be worth it if he was five cost... all I see is two dead birds and one stone..
