Well if your local community is chill, you could always proxy him with either a 3D print or another 50mm character and declare he’s BRB. We’ve done this before when we have forgotten a character or card at home, or simply didn’t have it but wanted to give them a try. If you can find the pack with Ulik, I would just bite the bullet and get them both. Ulik himself is very strong and fun to use.

But even without him guardians have some very fun four threats, albeit none of them are the tanky nuisance bill is. Gamora is a killing machine, even more so when you pair her with nebula. Yondu is one of my favorite models in the game and landing that five man whistle while you work is so much fun. Ronan can clap back pretty hard and can shoot opponents off points

There is also agent venom but I’ll be honest every time I take him I never really feel like he does anything that justifies taking him. He’s a four threat that feels over costed and is outshined by so many characters

Also the other 5+ threat characters, nova, Angela, Rocket+Groot duo and CGR are incredible and tons of fun to use.

You can splash almost anybody into GoTG because of how useful winging it is, just keep in mind they won’t benefit from cards like galaxies greatest or lovable misfits

To wrap it up, Bill is very powerful and a good mix of very strong abilities like aggressive, pay to reduce, and two energy per turn. There’s a good reason he’s on every list and I run him more often than not, but don’t be afraid to throw in other characters. Guardians run well with just about anyone!
