Best fit Patriot / High Evolutionary How to use it Use The Thing as a stat or payoff piece in decks that specifically reward no-ability cards or raw rate, rather than as a generic include. Common mistake The common mistake is treating The Thing like a normal flexible card; it usually needs Patriot, High Evolutionary, or another clear reason to be in the deck. Token advice Consider tokens only if you already play the archetype and the card is still performing well in the current meta. Source: 20 linked ItsGuestGaming article mention(s) found.
