Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with the ability: “End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here.” Created cards, like those generated by White Queen or Arishem, are the target. Cards not initially in your deck are unaffected.

Eson's high cost necessitates ramp cards such as Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow for optimal early deployment. The primary counter isn't Gorgon, but rather flooding your opponent's hand with undesirable cards like rocks or Master Mold's Sentinels.

Eson synergizes well with Arishem; using one without the other is generally suboptimal. Arishem allows for a turn 5 Eson play with two additional card draws. Consider this deck:

Series 5 cards (Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, Arishem) are present, but only Doom 2099 and Arishem are crucial. Replacements like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob are viable.

Eson provides an alternative win condition if Mockingbird or high-power cards aren't drawn. Arishem-generated cards can be played after Eson's turn 5 placement. If draws are poor, substitute Doctor Doom for Eson. Avoid playing Eson beyond 3 turns; a turn 5 play is ideal. Note the anti-synergy with Doom 2099—choose your game plan carefully.

Adapting Eson into other decks is challenging, but hand-generation decks (similar to older Devil Dinosaur lists, but without Devil Dinosaur) might work:

Series 5 cards (Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, Mockingbird) are included. Wiccan is essential; others are replaceable (Sentinel, Psylocke, Wave).

The strategy focuses on a turn 4 Wiccan play, using Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards and playing cheaper cards before Eson draws expensive ones. Mockingbird offers a power boost; Peni Parker and Luna Snow facilitate early Eson deployment. Playlines are highly variable due to card generation, leading to inconsistency but also engaging gameplay.

Unless you're a dedicated Arishem player, acquiring Eson might be unwise given limited resources and the upcoming release of promising cards like Starbrand and Khonshu. However, for consistent Arishem users, Eson is a worthwhile addition.
