Hody Jones (035)

Strategic Overview

Hody Jones (OP06-035) is the absolute crowning jewel of the New Fish-Man Pirates and a terrifying finisher in the Green meta. As a 7-cost with 8000 power and [Rush], he provides immediate, massive pressure that can end games on the turn he is played. His [On Play] ability to rest two of your opponent's characters OR DON!! cards is unparalleled for closing out games or dismantling a defensive setup.

By resting DON!! cards, Hody can effectively "silence" an opponent, preventing them from using defensive events or counters like Punk Gibson or Radical Beam. By resting characters, he clears the path through blockers. The cost of taking one life to hand is almost always a benefit at this stage of the game, as it provides that final card needed to survive the opponent's next swing or to find another finisher.
