==Strategy==
Maw Jaw has a huge attack stat, which is especially threathening because whenever they're hit, be it by your attacks or by an item, they will attack.  
Maw Jaw has a respectable {{Stat|attack}} stat that becomes much more threatening due to its {{Stat|Reaction}}, causing it to trigger whenever hit by anything (an attack or an [[Items|Item]]). This ability differs from {{Keyword|Smackback}} in a few critical ways. Maw Jaw will not trigger specifically against a card on the field that attacks it (instead attacking normally and hitting the front card in its row), but it also triggers when hit by Items, which Smackback does not. Like all Reactions, Maw Jaw's Reaction can be negated by inflicting {{Stat|Snow}} or {{Stat|Ink}}, allowing these decks to mostly trivialize the fight. If there isn't a lot of Snow or Ink available, time it carefully to get the most attacks on Maw Jaw possible. Maw Jaw also still has a normal {{Stat|Counter}} and attacks as time passes, even if not hit. Snow prevents its Counter from counting down, but Ink does not.


Maw Jaw's ability is comparable to smackback. Where it differs is unlike smackback you can place a clunker or high health unit to endure the attack, but you cannot simply use items to bypass the ability.
==Trivia==
 
Maw Jaw is one of only two cards that naturally have both a Counter and a Reaction, the other being [[Warthog]]. Certain [[Leaders]] also may have a Counter and Reaction, but they are rare.
Maw Jaw's ability can be nullified by applying any amount of snow. while snowed, Maw Jaw will not be able to react to being hit. If you have a lot of snow handy, this trivializes the fight. If you don't, time it carefully to make the most out of your attacks.
