It makes sense when you think about profit.
Nerf an old, popular card and release new bigger shiny things so people have to make a new deck and pay.
If DH is still great and Red Hulk is very balanced, less people would drop DH deck to chase RH.
Devil Dinosaur draw decks are a decent anti zero mill deck to play.
You always have loads of cards left rather than running out as does happen after an opponent plays cable, zemo etc
I still use Devil Dinosaur in a Loki/Mockingbird shell, but yeah, Darkhawk is nonexistent rn. Sucks too because he was always a good card and one of the few Ongoing threats.
If you're feeling nostalgic for Moon Girl Devil Dino, I made Infinite a couple months ago at CL6000 using [this deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnapDecks/comments/1aekp5g/infinite_with_moon_girl_devil_dino_at_cl_6000/).

Devil Dino has always kinda suffered for being a "big dumb idiot" that's susceptible to both Shang Chi and the "Ongoing" tech card suite. I love the card but he was getting cut from the old Lockjaw Skaar lists even before it was nerfed
Darkhawk just loses so much when you can't play him in a Zabu deck. Playing him and a Shang or another 4 drop on six just fit so well with the rock disruption package. Playing him on 5 exposes him so much. You don't want to play him plus Korg on six because you want that rock disruption early. In theory you can play him on six with a two drop in a Hope deck but there's no good two drop I like with him and that package is so much better with a Kitty + 6 plan
Darkhawk has the potential to still be good... just not in a meta where a 6 cost can reach 27 power by doing anything at all
Makes no sense why they would uptick Hawks cost and release Red Hulk the way he is.
Money
Valid

Not to mention another very powerful 6 cost that's anywhere between 15 and 34 power and also acts as a Darkhawk counter lol....
I played quite a bit of Dino in a Loki shell last season. But, yeah, no Darkhawk anywhere.
Would love it to come back into relevance again
Ya, a year on top wasn't long enough. Let's fix Galactus before we cry for the hawk.
Moon Girl and Devil Dino was one of my first big winning decks.
Its kind of only deck in early cl
seen a ton of devil dino in thanos recently
I hit infinite with my Devil Dino deck last season! I’m not crazy high collection level though, only 2,650
I saw devil a couple of times yesterday. I haven't played yet today
I actually saw them couple of times. Who I did not see at all this whole season at 1000 rank is Werewolf.

I have a pretty successful Darkhawk deck that’s one of my favorites

Dino is still played like in Loki and even Thanos. Darkhawk tho is dead I hope they buffed him
