Chosen for CotD 4th July 2015, as the idea of a repeatable means to remove a character from a story seems very strong. But when combined with skill reduction to make the opponent skill 0 (ideally Hand of Aforgomon), it is free to remove them from the story.
The limit of the character not having an attachment isn't too bad, due to how rarely they get played, especially beneficial ones.
The only thing that puts me off is his cost 4 and no Toughness or Invulnerability, allowing him to be wounded before he can do tricks in the story.
I really like this guy. I've used him a little in the past, and I should give him more chances to play. Maybe in a voodoo-themed deck with cards from the 1000 Young.
If you use Hand of Aforgomon you definitely need to be able to adjust his skill up or else total skill is zero and you're only getting one token instead of three. Interesting combo though, and there are other ways to lower skill to experiment with too. I've never really looked at Houngan as a competitive card (partly due to cost) but if you can get around his high cost somehow...
dboeren - Whilst the Hand of Aforgomon is there, you remove all their characters for free, and then kick out the Hand, getting all of your skill back
like this one. I'm thinking of build a deck around him and Aforgomon.
Hmm, interesting. I hadn't noticed it doesn't refer to printed skill. He's rather expensive, but I can see it might be worth it as a combo piece.
