Haven't used Mayhem very much in either T1 or T2. Looking for some thoughts and opinions on its inclusion in different types of decks. (T1, T2, 2P, MP)

I can certifiably vouch that I have lost with my previously undefeated deck because of this sole reason:  a well-timed Mayhem.

The card is both awesome and annoying at the same time.*

*depends on the point of view...if you have played it or your opponent.

Mayhem is probably my third or fourth least favorite card in the set On account of its brokenness when played right. Dumping your entire hand, then dropping it after an opponents draw essentially makes it the best speed card in the game. Additionally I just don't like it because it never seems to work for me, nearly as well as for my opponents I can't count the times I've had it dropped on my turn one, after they go first and empty thier hand. Its basically a 12 card swing in thier favor, which is huge in a card game.

It also works well to gain an 11 to 6 card advantage 1st turn in t1.

The card's chances to be game-changing here in the NW are between slim and none, and slim just jumped out of an airplane.


 

I use it when i her my oppoent say YES after they draw a card lol, boy do they hate that.i have also used to to reset my had if i didnt draw anything good. When i do this though it doesnt always give me a better one.

If only there was a way to get Mayhem back to I could used it over and over...

Mayhem has literally saved me the game on a few occasions. Someone was coming for their last LS in a 4-4 game. I had no D, but I played Mayhem and drew the 2-liner. Gave them half, and atttacked ftw on my next turn.

I say yes regardless of my draw. Its fun.
