Freakshow

Freakshow is a leam mean fighting machine. With Rush Attack, he can pay 2 CP to get +1 ADMG. With Mad Rush, he does it for for free but he has to be raging. Those Tainted Yangs are starting to look better huh? With Show Stopper, not only does he deal +1 ADMG, he also has a chance of setting the defender.
On 2nd Level, he can make attacks negative by paying 1 life and 1 CP using his Show Stealer ability. Very good if you want to conserve your cheer but still make your opponent's actions negative.
A good strategy with Freakshow would be to have him protect enough attacks to start the 2nd wave raging. Promote him during the breather (remember he heals 1 wound). If he is not raging, no problem, you can use Show Stealer to pay life just to get him raging. Just be careful so that he doesn't die because you were so eager to deal that extra DMG. Once he is raging, use cards and abilities to keep him alive by healing him (but not so much that he is not raging).
