Not My Responsibility enhances gameplay strategy with its interrupt feature.

Limiting Not My Responsibility to one copy per deck presents both challenges and strategic opportunities.
Deep dives
Improved Card Design
Not My Responsibility is a well-designed card that improves upon the original version of Great Responsibility. The aspect of making it an interrupt rather than a hero interrupt adds versatility, and the ability to choose an ally to take the damage enhances strategic gameplay.
Artistic Aesthetics
The art of Deadpool eating popcorn out of his own mask fits the playful and meta nature of the pool aspect. The use of tape over the card text and the stylistic choice of the text box for max one per deck adds to the unique aesthetic and humor of the card.
Limitation of One Per Deck
The limitation of only including one copy of Not My Responsibility in a deck poses a challenge for deck building. While it adds the element of Singleton deck building style, it may limit the impact of the card within the overall strategy of a deck.
Middle Ground Rating
Overall, Not My Responsibility receives a mixed rating from reviewers. While it offers improvements over the original card design and ties well with the pool aspect's theme, the limitation of one per deck affects its overall usability, leading to a middle-ground rating.
Possibility of Future Pool Cards
Reviewers express hopes for more pool aspect cards in the future, potentially featuring additional heroes like Gwenpool or Daredevil with unique pool aspects. The concern over future releases is that requiring the Dead Pool pack may limit accessibility to new pool cards for players who don't own that pack.
Today we finally take the big step to wade into (see what I did there?) the 'Pool aspect, and we go right into the deep end (get it?). This new 5th aspect is a source of division among players, but we take a balanced view of the card pool (we aren't done with the puns). Will we be excited for this pool party, or or is pink so last year? Find out in episode 31!
