Somer Teeth Jones 1st Ed crew box was my buy in to this crazy awesome game.
He was pretty potent back then, but in more of an oblique way. In this version he is versatile, pretty good at switching play even mid game, and also my most played Master. Plus he still amuses me greatly as the Big Hatted, Big Mouth, Belligerent "King of the Gremlins"
Little play time in the last few years means I haven't had a huge chance to run out the new crews which Ive been buying up. So for "power" of understanding your own crew I find only Somer and Ophelia are the mix. Ophelia just always seemed a little to "potent" at the one dimensional blasting of stuff compared to Somer's more entertaining antics for me. She certainly has some cool movement shenanigans, but he just does wacky so well.
I figured I'd fall in love with Ulix as the Bacon Baron to Somers King Gremlin, but even Somer still handles his Pre-processed Pork pretty well, and that lets me try new, interesting, and most importantly diverse things even in the heat of the tournament.
