Fourth post for Freaks
Time to get freaky:
7
4
-4 opp damage, min 2
Poison 2, min 3
Okay, so to begin with, don't even entertain the thought of a Freaks full-deck (the poison bonus does NOT stack, so once one of your cards gets it through, the others have a useless bonus). That aside, a half-deck (or even less) of Freaks is very useful and is a fun clan to play.
A very underrated card is Olga Noel and she would be my first purchase. Her ability is great and early on, it's unlikely to be stopped. Once you get more Freaks, she's also the one you'll probably be using to get the poison through, due to her high power.
Next, Maamoon is a possibility, but be careful: while she is useful against Nightmare and Piranas so that the poison bonus isn't stopped, she has too much damage. How can a card have too much damage, you ask? Quite simply, it's because the Freaks' bonus is Poison 2, minimum 3. If you win with Maamoon in the first turn, you'll be doing six damage, and then in the next turn two (from poison), and in the following turn, one (from poison). However, you get the same total damage from doing three damage in the first turn, then two damage in the following three turns (from poison). Even if you don't win the first round and you get your poison through from Maamoon in the second round, you're still wasting one damage. Hence, the best Freaks cards are usually the ones with 5 damage or less (3 being the optimum). Nonetheless, damage is still useful for a premature knock-out, and for that reason, Maamoon has her uses.
Instead of Maamoon, though, I would get Esmerelda. She's a fantastic card whose ability, if unstopped, forces your opponent to pill substantially.
Next, you can choose between Soushee and Wolfgang for a damage reducer. They are both decent cards, and which one you pick depends on how many stars you need. I'd give the edge to Wolfgang for being the better beginner card.
Finally, the top four is completed with Hula, a card that has the extremely useful poison ABILITY. Hence, it takes a stop all (a card with both SOA and SOB) to block the poison if she wins.
The Freaks clans is one of my favourite clans to play and was also one of the first half-decks I made starting out. Their prices have risen a bit since then, but in terms of the punch they pack, they're great for beginners (8/10).
In the long term, the Freaks mentioned above are also very good, namely Esmerelda and Hula (I even use Olga Noel sometimes). Unfortunately, even though they keep their value well, the Freaks remain one of the riskier clans to play later on (8/10).
