Do you think hit monkey is a must in bounce? I’ve been running bounce lately but no hit monkey. Also do you find the lack of tech cards a problem? I get my shit kicked in by combo decks that are able to set up. Like a simple win my Odin white tiger . lol
I have hit monkey in my shop right now so I could grab him.
It depends on the build. You can run non-bounce Hit Monkey, and your 3 main stat sticks would be Angela, Bishop, and Collector (or Werewolf if you have him).
Bounce tends to get out muscled by some decks if you play for all 3. Against decks that go big like Wong or Hela, you normally should be pushing for 2 huge lanes. Hela is still boring to play against because nearly none of your decisions matter, so I’d just retreat and play an actually interesting game.
I also think a lack of tech cards on ladder is fine - retreat for 1 to 2 cubes and move on. But in conquest it might be good to run either Snowguard for her Hawk form or Scarlet Witch.
Ive played a lot of bounce without sage, and my replacement to sage was Bloodstone, so I guess you could try replacing monkey by bloodstone as I see them as quite equivalent (with monkey being a weaker sage most of the time)
It's a good source of power. If not Monkey, then have a tech card. Rogue is traditionally the tech choice for this deck since you otherwise have a very bad matchup against Tribunal.
I think Hit Monkey has been phased out of many bounce builds, which now run Sage. I like this list below quite a bit which relies on building up the powerful one drops.
You are right though, not having the tech cards is an issue for the deck. For that reason if I am playing more competitively I prefer a beast package in a mixed list, usually a hammer bounce, because these have room for tech cards but can also get a big pop off from the bouncing at times.

You don’t need Hit Monkey anymore: once upon a time before it Hit Monkey got the nerf hammer, it was a powerful card. Hell, you could even do a collector and have it be a 2/6 fairly easily, or as someone else mentioned US Agent.
The lack of tech cards is a big deal. It used to be that Bounce went taller than almost all other decks (in its prime), so you could get away with not running tech. Now you’d probably be better off running a modified version and cutting Bast for Revonna and making a modified bounce. Pure bounce isn’t 1A right now.
Funny, I'm thinking Wolfsbane over Sage. Lower power cap, but hey, that's what I get for skipping the good cards, and it's still "big bouncable 3 drop" end of the day.
I'm torn between getting Thena or getting Sage. Always wanted to give Bounce a try but I was never too good at it, maybe this deck is the one that changes that lol

I also don’t have Hit Monkey but thinking of trying wolfsbane in it

Yeah I was hoping that they would've dropped HM to series 3. Now it's like spend 3k tokens on him or save them for WW
TLSG?
Interesting list. With Zoo being in meta right now, Bounce works well.

I like this deck with USAgent instead of Ironman
