Note: This is purely for defensive purposes in BGs, I only run 1 point in Deep Wounds, so it would be invalid to consider Fury a dual threat, as without max Deep Wounds he’s to slow to be used, so again defense only.
Korg seems like the obvious choice but people tend to mess up on Fury a lot, or he just plays passive. Also his sig 200 helps stall.
They’ve both won me a ton of matchups on defense so I’m just curious who’d come out on top assuming both sig 200

Also korg ensures more victory than fury
Fury will almost always have 2 full health bars, second one does tick away a little sooner
It's also important to not that we do not have news of a 7 star fury, there is already a 7 star korg
Bonus.... Fury is also useful on offense
I personally don't care that he's a 7*. It'll be a long time until an r2 7* Korg becomes as annoying and hard to fight as an r5 6* Korg, simply due to his sig ability. That's what requires counters. Without it, you can fight him with anyone. It'll just be a long slog of a fight.
Fury is annoying but doesn't need a specific counter, wheras Korg does.
So maybe counterintuitively I'd rank up Fury because Korg would get banned more
(I don't play a whole lot of BG so my opinion might be invalid)
And eventhough you've written him off for attack, he might still come in handy in a pinch
You can easily parry and use mediums against r2. R5 will take like 5-10% against an accidental medium
Thats why the 7 star argument shouldn’t be a factor on this poll
On topic, Fury is the better defender if we're talking about BGs. He has two lives, while most champs only have one
Kingpin, Kate, Valkyrie, Nick they all have very different utility. Rank for game progression then for BG play.
It's becoming significantly easier to amass R3/R4 champs, and story content isn't all that difficult anymore. Adding one more champ rarely makes a difference anymore for progression once you're in Act 8
Also one thing we need to factor in is the Dani buff as that could potentially do what Hulkling/Galan did to Peni as less and less people started drafting her in their deck
Nick fury can be more tricky, impossible sp1 to dex and also takes time. So for me it’s nick
