Bud Buster (STASH 1 / NUTRIENT)
Let’s get it Potheads! Oh, the removal card. Is there anything sweeter than being able to say “Hey, why don’t ya throw your Zushi in the ashtray for me bud?” There’s a reason you’re limited to only 1 Bud Buster in any given stash. You may have to discard a card from your hand to do so, but in a pinch and against a Beast you just can’t get off your opponent’s side of the field almost any sacrifice would do. Why have something be a hinderance when you can make it benefit you?
The key with Bud Buster is to have a few cards in your stash you wouldn’t mind tossing in the ashtray. Even better if they have an extra little kick. Making an appearance as a previous Card of the Day, the Cotton Candy Kush shines in this aspect. What better way to cap off your removal card than being able to draw an extra card for doing so?
Bud Buster can be a very strategic card if you let it. One of my favorite strategies, that’s admittedly tough to pull off, requires you to have Bud Buster, Relighting Roach, and any CannaBeast above 19% THC (the higher the better).
Ideal Scenario: Player 1 has no CannaBeasts on the field. / Player 2 has 2 Zushi’s in play
Player 1 plays a Bud Buster, discarding a Skywalker OG to destroy 1 of Player 2’s Zushi’s.
Player 1 plays a Relighting Roach to bring Skywalker OG out of the ashtray and onto their side of the field.
Player 1 essentially gets a 2 tribute CannaBeast in play for no tributes that also can’t be destroyed with a Reverse Roll.
Bud Buster: Pairs well with
Any CannaBeast over 19% THC
Candy Cane - When this card is destroyed gain 100 pounds. (Stash 3, Indica CB)
Cotton Candy Kush - When this card is sent to the ashtray draw a card. (Stash 3, Hybrid CB)
Relighting Roach - When this card is used, you may revive one CannaBeast from your ashtray either on to the battlefield or back into your hand. (Stash 1, Nutrient)
Sour Zombie OG - When this card is sent to the ashtray deal 50 damage to your opponent’s pounds. (Stash 3, Indica CB)
Thanks, Cannafam! Stay Stoney!
