How to Play Alioth
Ideally, Aliothshould be played in turn five or six withreveal priority. Since he can destroy unrevealed cards, it’s best to drop him before the enemy reveals counters like Cosmo or Armor.
Before the nerf, Alioth was both a tech card and a win condition. However, his current three-Power status hindersgetting one-card wins. Players are, therefore, advised to have him work with powerhouse cards such asGalactus, Odin, and Doctor Doom.
How to Counter Alioth
With the reveal priority in hand, players cancounter Alioth with Cosmo and Armor. Otherwise, he will destroy all cards played to his lane before they are even revealed. A riskier counter for Alioth is Galactus,A Big Bad cardthat could destroy other locations for good.
