Strategy
Synergies
* Zombies: The Mild-Mannered Citizen can be brought out of the graveyard by Zombie minions and actions.
* Killer Plants: The Mild-Mannered Citizen can fetch the Venus Man Trap, who can fetch even more Mild-Mannered Citizens.
* Werewolves: Werewolves like having high power, and the Superheroes certainly provide plenty.
* Princesses: The Mild-Mannered Citizen can fetch the powerful power-5 Princesses and the Princesses' actions make it easier to move Superheroes and Princesses around.
* Sharks: Sharks trigger off minions being destroyed, and wouldn't you know, the Mild-Mannered Citizens destroy themselves as part of their ongoing ability.
* Magical Girls: Lunar Captain is a fantastic target for Mild-Mannered Citizen, as she can easily retrieve the Citizen, letting you play the same Citizen over and over again. Both factions have lots of actions that either place minions from your discard pile into your deck or return them to your hand, making it easy to play them again and again.
* The Lion King: Mufasa can be fetched using Mild-Mannered Citizen, and you can use Wildebeest Stampede to fetch the power-5 Superheroes.
