Johnny

Strategic Overview

Johnny (OP14-028) is a low-cost surgical removal tool for East Blue decks. His value is found in his ability to K.O. rested 2-cost characters simply by becoming rested. This makes him an excellent counter to the ubiquitous 1 and 2-cost searchers and blockers that define the early game of almost every competitive deck.

As a 2-cost unit, Johnny is easily woven into turns where you are also developing a larger threat. He essentially acts as a "clearance" unit, ensuring that your opponent's small utility units don't stay on the board to provide long-term value. He is a fundamental piece for Green decks that prioritize board control through combat interaction.
