Information

I asked a few nights ago in @Marivn_the_Imp's stream what cards handle Crownwatch Press-Gang and co. effectively. While we couldn't come up with an answer other than Nothing Remains, the question was still on my mind this week so I decided to look into it. Pressgang/Zido is a tough nut to crack but I think I've found something that is effective at both handling void recursion AND still has the potential to deal with the other Expedition mainstays like Furious Magniventris, Huntsmaster Vikrum, Helena, Skyguide, Dinosaur Nest and Stormhalt Plating.

Statuary Maiden is and has always been a very good card. She also has the added effect of shutting void units down completely while adding some buffs to our own units.
This is the list I came up with in an attempt to put those decks on the back foot. Give it a go! Let me know what you guys think!
Feedback is very much welcome.

I'm surprised that, when you asked what beats Press-Gang, no one said Steyer's Eyes.

It's a Gavel on a stick.

Very good suggestion, honestly. Being able to break the gavel is easy enough, but landing one at the right time could be very good.
Good call, man.

That is true, relic removal is a dime-a-dozen right now. But I think the decks playing Press-Gang would struggle with it.

They're usually in JTS, and since Gavel has an odd cost, Waystone Ignitor can't hit it. I don't think those factions play anything else that could hit this card, unless they're using Disjunction to get back their Nests.
