Introducing Bullseye, a timeless character in the world of comics who might seem a bit out of date, but remains a classic villain. In a universe filled with eccentric, themed villains dressed in tight costumes, Bullseye stands out as the quintessential comic book antagonist.

Well, perhaps not

Bullseye is a sadistic and murderous psychopath with a chilling sense of purpose. His true identity remains shrouded in mystery, with names like Benjamin Poindexter or Lester thrown around, but what truly defines him is his exceptional skill set. Unlike many Marvel characters, Bullseye's abilities stem from natural talent rather than superhuman genetics. Labeled as "peak human," he can turn everyday objects into lethal weapons, be it a throwing knife, a pen, a paperclip, or his signature razor-edged playing cards.

Despite his simple appearance, Bullseye is a mercenary with a deadly proficiency, known for eliminating targets across the Marvel universe. He infamously killed Elektra and took on the role of Hawkeye in the Dark Avengers. His lethal precision is driven by both business acumen and sheer talent.

However, what does he do?

Bullseye's primary skill is his unparalleled ability to throw objects with deadly accuracy. In SNAP, he utilizes your weakest cards (no more than 1-Cost!) to inflict -2 Power on your opponent's cards, showcasing his precise aim and sadistic nature. His Activate ability allows you to strategically discard your hand at the optimal moment, enhancing his impact on the game.

Bullseye seamlessly integrates with Discard synergies such as Scorn or Swarm, ensuring your hand has suitable cards to discard when activating him. While Daken provides only one target, other strategies can amplify Bullseye's effect. He serves as a controlled discard outlet, supporting cards like Morbius or Miek, and potentially doubling the impact of MODOK/Swarm plays on turn 5.

However, Bullseye's effectiveness can be countered by characters like Luke Cage, who nullifies his threat, and Red Guardian, who can disrupt meticulously planned Discard turns. Strategic planning is crucial when incorporating Bullseye into your deck.

Bullseye Decks on Day One

The classic Discard deck is the most obvious synergy for Bullseye. His ability directly complements Scorn and Swarm, enhancing an already powerful Discard engine. Focusing on Swarm, the deck includes Collector, Victoria Hand, and Moonstone to capitalize on their synergy and maximize Bullseye's Discard turns. Gambit is included not only for his thematic connection to throwing cards but also for his game-changing effects.

Daken, often a challenging card to utilize effectively, finds new potential with Bullseye. Bullseye's control and redundancy can enhance Daken's doubling effect, allowing for strategic discards of the Muramasa Shard. This approach bypasses the need for complex maneuvers with MODOK, offering more consistency to the combo.

Verdict

Bullseye may prove more challenging to integrate than initially thought. His limited use and the strategic demands of his Activate ability require careful deck-building. However, his significant effect on the Discard package, particularly with Swarm and Scorn, suggests he could become a powerful asset for those willing to master his potential.
