It's amazing and frustrating to me that two+ years into the game's life, the developers still understand their own game so poorly, they continue to toss out awful suggestions like these.

That's only true if you actually think they believe this advice. I think it's far more likely that someone was tasked with hyping the latest new character and and whipped up a quick script for this "interview" that just listed some other 4*s that produce countdown tiles.

But anyone tasked with whipping up a quick script, who actually knew the game, wouldn't have had a problem giving better suggestions.

Provided that we also collect 7 yellow before hand, and keep the countdown tile alive. This is a bit off-topic, but star-lord's yellow just isn't ever worth it. collecting the 7 ap to cast it will almost always negate the utility of cheaper abilities. Especially considering the opportunity cost of wasting 1/3 of your team on star-lord. Just bring IM40, collect 6 yellow ap, wait two turns, and win! Sure, there are a few edge cases where it's fun to turn 5ap powers into 1-match powers, and devil dino's purple is a blast. But those are just fun science experiments. There is basically always better option if you really want to win a given match.
