Ikaros Much

Strategic Overview

Ikaros Much is the primary swarm engine for the New Fish-Man Pirates. He enables explosive tempo plays by allowing you to play another 4-cost or less Fish-Man from your hand for free. While taking 1 life card to hand seems like a downside, it is actually a core mechanic of the Hody Jones deck, as it provides hand advantage and triggers lower-life benefits.

With Ikaros, you can establish a wide board in a single turn, playing threats like Daruma or Dosun without slowing down your curve. As a 6000 power body himself, he is a serious threat that the opponent cannot easily ignore.

Key Strategic Synergies

• Daruma (OP06-029): Cheat Daruma out with Ikaros to immediately apply pressure with Daruma's restand ability.
• Camie (OP06-025): Use Camie to find Ikaros, then use Ikaros to flood the board with the Fish-Men Camie searched.
• Hody Jones (OP06-035): Ikaros clears the way for the late-game character Hody, ensuring you have enough bodies on the board to capitalize on Hody's blocker-rest ability.
