How to Play Rocket & Groot Effectively
Here are key notes to keep in mind when playing Rocket & Groot decks:
How to Counter Rocket & Groot
A movement punisher deck with Scream and Kingpin could be considered anti-Rocket & Groot. But this is only a reliable counter if your enemy is leaning into the duo’s movement ability. If you’re looking for a solid response that can snipe Rocket & Groot,Red Guardian would be a better choice.
Some other counter options are Luke Cage, who protects your cards’ Powers, Shadow King, who can restore the lost Power, and Ajax, who can scale off the afflicted negative Power.
Is Rocket Raccoon & Groot Worth It?
Sometimes, a card can seem bad because it’s too niche. But Rocket Raccoon & Groot shows that the opposite can also be true: a card can feel bad because it fits no niches. The issue with Rocket & Groot is that its potential decks are all over the place, with none offering substantial value.
If you enjoy playing toxic, junk, move, or control decks, Rocket & Groot could be a nice addition to your collection. However, if you prefer to stay on top of the meta and invest only in cards with a clear return on investment, then you should skip Rocket & Groot.
