See, I disagree with you there--every platform should be used to moan about Gambit. You say yay more 5* rewards, and I say Boo another completely useless toon no one will ever get to use because of the white elephant in the room that makes him worthless. Are we maybe being a touch melodramatic here? There are plenty of non-Gambit teams out there to fight, and just because Goblin isn't as good as Gambit doesn't make him "useless." Sorry, I should have qualified: I am talking about PVP. And no, there are not plenty of non-Gambit teams out there to fight. I don't know what your MMR looks like, but all I see are Gambit teams. I can count on zero fingers the number of times I have seen Goblin in PVP since Gambit's release, and I expect that number to go down now...

ThaRoadWarrior said: I got a sandman from the Heroic 10-Pack the other day (3/4/1), so I'm kind of considering setting him to my BH to see what he's all about at champion. Is there any meaningful synergy between Sand Smash and Captain Falcon's Divebomb? Is it possible that these 2 magikarp can add up to a gyardos, or is that wishful thinking? My Flaptain is only 4/1/1 so it'll be awhile before I can put it to the test.
I suppose you could run the two together - you'd probably use Sam's yellow more often, but Sandman would give an emergency yellow Power for when you really need some damage.
Still, there's not much synergy there - Sandman's Purple can gather yellow AP, but Sam doesn't do a whole lot with that AP unless you also have 15 red AP. Neither one does enough for the cost to be really Worth it.
Gwenpool is an option. Rainbow coverage with Sam and she can put out some more defense tiles with her black Power.
Still, the main thing holding Sam back is that his red is just too expensive. There's too much that need to happen in order to get good use out of it.
