Humandrill

Strategic Overview

Humandrill (OP14-032) is a highly efficient utility character that excels in board manipulation. His value is two-fold: he possesses a top-tier 2000 counter stat, and he acts as a repeatable "Rest" engine. Every time he becomes rested (via attacking or effects), he freezes an opponent's 4-cost or less character. This makes him a surgical tool for removing blockers or disabling utility searchers during your combat phase.

As a 3-cost unit, he arrives early enough to contest the board and stays relevant throughout the game. In decks that can rest their own characters for benefits, Humandrill provides passive control that forces the opponent to play a very restricted game. He is a cornerstone for midrange Green decks that win through attrition and board superiority.

Key Strategic Synergies

• Dracule Mihawk (OP14-020): Humandrill is the ideal target for Mihawk to rest; he triggers his own board-rest effect while enabling Mihawk's resource reset.
• Ryuma (OP06-036): Humandrill rests the target, and Ryuma K.O.s it. This combo is a board-clearing nightmare for midrange decks.
• Perona (OP06-021): Combined with Perona's Leader effect, you can lock down an entire row of 4-cost characters in a single turn.
