Expert Analysis
Strategic Overview
Hammond (OP06-032) is the fundamental defensive anchor for the New Fish-Man Pirates. As a 2-cost blocker, he provides extremely efficient protection for your Leader and high-value attackers. In a deck like Hody Jones, which often trades life for powerful effects, Hammond is essential to stop the opponent from capitalizing on your lowered life total.
While 2000 power is low, his tribal tag is the real value. He is easily searchable and can be cheated onto the board through various Fish-Man effects, ensuring your defensive line stays active even after spending your DON!! on aggressive plays.
Key Strategic Synergies
- Ikaros Much (OP06-024): Ikaros can play Hammond for free from the hand, immediately providing a blocker while you establish an offensive presence.
- Hatchan (OP06-031): Hammond is the premier target to play off Hatchan's trigger, serving as an emergency defensive wall.
- Hody Jones (OP06-035): Hammond protects the character Hody Jones, allowing the high-cost finisher to stay on the board for multiple Rush swings.
Pro Strategy Tip: Don't play Hammond on Turn 1 unless you are facing a heavy aggro deck like Red Zoro. It is usually better to save him for Turn 3 or 4 alongside an attacker to protect your board state.
