Targeted removal is the cleanest answer. Blue tempo lists race under the card before it comes online.

Loupmoon depends on the surrounding shell more than on its own stat line. Remove the enabler and the card becomes a vanilla body.

Remember the strike count: 2 strikes at 500 base Power. Blocking with a body that survives is usually better than trading down.

There is no official sideboard in the current format, so counters must be maindeckable. Prefer flexible removal over narrow hate cards.

Favoured into slow structure decks, even against Blue tempo, and unfavoured against dedicated removal builds.
