Ajax in Marvel Snap: Cost, power, and ability

The new card of Ajax in Marvel Snap costs five Energy Points, has seven Power, and has an ongoing effect that helps the card gain +1 power for each card afflicted with negative Power.

Since this is a five-cost card, you cannot play it before turn five in most cases. The card will get its power every time a card in play gets negative powers on both sides. However, since it has an ongoing effect, Ajax in Marvel Snap will lose its power and come back to base power if the negative-powered card is destroyed. Therefore, this can be a great finishing option.
