Say he throws XF Wolvie, you have 30% chance to use Surgical Strike with a good chunk of bonus damage. Against someone like Daken or Punisher who's strongest color is black, you could toss XF again the very next turn.

Toss XF, he's safe for a couple turns, lands, does 6K+ damage, then you could follow that right up with XF and do another 3-4K damage. Anywho, I'm leaning toward 4/5/4. I'm not sure if another turn of Immovable object is that crucial when it's only 8 AP to use.

Okay, so I guess in the situation where the enemy is about to cast a big spell, and you have 13 black AP to cast fastball, and casting surgical strike doesn't outright kill the character threatening to kill your guy, and fastball actually gets the 66% of casting XF or surgical.... Do you see where I'm going with this? It just seems incredibly unlikely (under 5%?) to come up with a situation where you would ever want to cast fastball over surgical strike. The fact that it costs 13AP and is an ability that is probably like 4th on your priority list in any given team means that you're just never going to cast it, which means that 5/5/3 is almost assuredly better just because you'll cast his yellow far more than you cast fastball.
