Reposting from last topic:

I've played about 20 games with this Galactus deck now and I have not played Nimrod once. He's so awkward to play on turn 4/5 when I'd much rather by playing Octopus in most situations.

It is winning a good amount and I've won some close games because of Wolverine but I'm not sure about Nimrod.

nimrod is a backup strat for when things start to go awry. he's most often the turn 5 play for me when i didn't draw wave / electro and can't cheat mana, where doc oc isn't particularly useful. 17 power (via galactus + 3 nimrod) can sometimes win by playing nimrod on 5 and galactus on 6, and is often better than hobgoblin (and is significantly more subtle)

it's also a good strat if they start messing with your side of the board with debris / viper / goblins and you can pivot to nimrod / destroyer mode which is often enough to win against those decks
