This champion, named for Mike "The Ogre" Heubbe, is very strong, especially with lots of players and a very combat oriented deck.

His power, preventing any spells (wizard or cleric) from being cast at him or his pool, is very strong, and is one of the few ways to protect yourself from Wish (384/4th), because Gib Ergo doesn't use immunity.

It should be noted that if Gib Ergo goes into combat, his power no longer protects the pool because he is not "currently" occupying it. Gib Ergo also has the unique property that he requires you to attack each turn, but allows you to attack with any champion of your choosing.

While the attacker from Gib Ergo's pool may not be grants Ergo's immunity (since it is not in the pool), there are many ways to satisfy Ergo's condition with little to no harm.

Good attacking champions include Jamlin (38/NS), Ochimo (95/FR) or Seveia Shadowmaster (14/PO), as their loss would result in no loss of champion, and therefore, no granting of spoils.

The best ways to negate Ergo's advantage is killing him in the pool, using The Scarlet Brotherhood (135/3rd) or Death Field (81/DU), just remember that events and spells won't do the job.

While Gib Ergo's high level makes him difficult to fit into a deck, particularly in he is meant only to sit in the pool, he will be worth it if you find the room.
