My Review

Yondu is an interesting ally. Looking at just base stats, he is overcosted: 2 THW | 1 ATK for 4 cost (5 effective resources). The ranged ability doesn’t do much for me, but zero consequential damage for attacking means Yondu can continually get in there for one damage until you decide to block an attack or thwart for two. If you’re using him, it’s most likely to take advantage of his neverending attack capabilities (upgrades + readying, perhaps?). Maybe Spider-Man Leadership and include both Black Cat and Yondu.

In the end, he has not made it into my Leadership decks many times. But there is no denying that Mary Poppins is cool.
