I mean per the rule of "No character with the same name out at the same time."
It already effects Taskmaster if your playing Black Widow during the Hydra Campaign. And it also makes a problem when Gamora is released as Nebula is her rival.

It just seems like having Nebula as a hero deck will be an issue for some of the rules.

Add to that, that except in Endgame she's never been a hero in comics and it just feels like a weird add.

I really dislike this rule (you can only have one version of any named card in play, for those who don't want to click the spoiler). I still haven't used Ant-Man and Wasp together because now both of your decks can't use their unique allies.

Using Black Widow against Taskmaster feels a little like cheating, even though it isn't.

There are so many easy comic book excuses to have more than one Scott Lang running around.

 

[deimosmasque]

Yeah it does cause some unfortunateness as it does the same thing with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and as I said in the SPOILER causes issues with Taskmaster as well if your doing the Hydra Campaign with Black Widow.

 

[PanzerKraken]

i like the fluffy rule like no double named characters, always hate games that ignore such things. It's not a problem with the rule, its a problem with FFG deck designers even including some of these characters as allies and such in play when they know its going to be a problem so close to each other, so they should have made some wiser choices

Seriously, it's annoying with Taskmaster because he's only in Black Widow's deck because of the movie. I'm sure they can't always predict when a character will end up as a proper villain, but characters like Loki? Of course that's going to be a problem eventually, especially since people will choose Thor more often in the inevitable Loki encounter.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

I am hoping for Quasar, Nova and Phyla-Vell, but I will also take Mantis, Cosmo, Jack Flag or Beta Ray Bill (a not-lame Thor deck would be great)

Cosmic Ghost Rider and Major Victory would be awesome but will never happen

Secret best new cosmic character choice would be Darkhawk. Also highly improbable

I do not know how into homebrew content you are, but there is a pretty sweet Darkhawk fan made deck that is pretty cool. If you have tabletop simulator, you should look for the mod.

I hate that they put Tasky as Black Widow's Nemesis when she does in fact have a rogues gallery.
They could have even tied it to the movie still and used Yelena Belova instead.

Thor I forgive because he was one of the first and they probably weren't 100% sure how long they were going to be making this game.

But if one of the rumored future hero decks is real then it's really going to mess up the Unique Character rule.

They just don't seem to mind the effects. They are doing it again right now, though Villain Nebula came out before Rival Nebula, so poor planning isn't a reasonable excuse.

Spoiler

It's much worse if the spoiler is true, too, since you just can't play as Nebula in the Nebula encounter at all. So does that mean you're not supposed to use one of the cosmic characters in the cosmic campaign?

In any other encounter, you could pair Gamora with Nebula and nerf Shadow of the Past every time. Doesn't make sense.

For this and other reasons I am skeptical of the spoiler, even though they were right with Venom

Thanks for the heads up! I will check this out. I need to find a Punisher deck too so I can make the Round Robin: The Sidekick's Revenge team. I know there is a cool Moon Knight deck out there too.

Probably this is the only way to ever get a Darkhawk deck unless Slayven buys Fantasy Flight Games

Couldn't find the Darkhawk on though.

I was actually thinking of printing the Namor and White Queen ones soon.

Edit - I do wish there was a way to print more cards like Genius, Energy and Strength to even out the decks. I really like having all the heroes having full decks so they can just pull them out with no changes.

I'd even buy a pack that was just Standard and common Aspect cards.

 

[DarthSpider]

Playing a Cap Leadership deck, throwing out ally after ally then playing Avengers Assemble for stupid damage is one of the most thematic things in this game

I love it every time

Click to shrink...

Probably my favorite Hero/Aspect combo in the game. It's strong as hell, super fun, and very thematic. I mentioned above that I'm playing Cap Protection solo for the Red Skull campaign. It does the trick, but I think Leadership is definitely where Cap shines. Not related to Leadership, but I saw a guy on Reddit post how a single Shield Toss took out all 4 members of the Wrecking Crew. That must've been a pretty great feeling. Or imagine vs Ultron, doing a Shield Toss to get rid of every drone, then going Avengers Assemble with a full board of allies against Ultron. Great stuff!

Just played against Rhino for the first time since I ran the tutorial. Had him tuned to expert and found him...pretty tough vs true solo? I was playing Justice Spider-Man and had Running Interference in Rhino's deck. Tombstone hit the table right as I was transitioning from II to IIII and was still stunned, which prevented me from eliminating Tombstone despite having a web kick in my hand. I had no choice but to switch to alter ego and bam that was it, 7 threat in a single villain turn, scheme complete.

My second game went similarly, it is so easy for him to complete that one main scheme card while you are in alter ego form. Got him on the third try though.

PS - Fuck Tombstone. 9 hp...

Click to shrink...

For sure. Rhino can be tough in solo if you get bad draws. I still lose to him every now and then even on standard difficulty. I usually play against Klaw when I want to try a new deck because of how swingy Rhino can be. I go to Rhino when I want to test a deck with the specific goal of not changing into alter-ego form. I know some people dislike how swingy the game can be at times, but I personally love it. It keeps me on my guard, and just like in the comics, things can turn bad real quick. If I could win easily every single time I think I would get bored.

Hmm won't let me access

If you want to test your mind strength and go all in on speed, try to play with aggression Scarlet Witch against expert Klaw. Between the low thresold of thread in the main schemes, the small Klaw's encounter deck and the quick that Scarlet Witch burns it... With the amount of acceleration tokens on the table, I won in the last turn possible.

 

[echoshifting]

I think there should be a new difficulty level for when you are playing as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch

With the right cards, Quicksilver can do 20 damage in one turn. And you have serval industries to make sure you get there once or twice

That pair needs harder villains, please.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

You should try that out with Expert Collector...

Got Galaxy's Most Wanted last night. Sleeved it, looked through all the cards, and promptly decided to wait until the rest of the Guardians are released before trying to tackle the campaign. Looks pretty hard, which is what I'm hearing from Reddit and BGG as well.

It isnt that hard depending on how you've built up your deck. Are you playing solo or MP? If you're playing MP, make sure somebody is doing Justice. Scenario 2 & 3 aren't that bad if you can manage threat.

I pretty much only play true solo.

I just received my copy (thanks again DarthSpider for tipping me off to that store). I really appreciate the options to increase difficulty in this set. Some of the modular sets look very challenging. I love how they handled the Milano too.

But my favorite card by far is the power stone. That looks like it can add a fun and challenging aspect to any fight. I'm excited to get it on the table and to see what the rest of the stones do.

The Drax ability feels like it should have been Hulk's ability. Gain strength with damage or something. I feel like we just need a new Hulk, but I don't think they'd do that.

Caleb (one of the designers) said in several interviews that they don't consider that Hulk needs a revision, so don't espect new hero cards to "fix" Hulk.

Yeah, some of the new cards of the "second wave" (Ant-Man to Scarlet Witch) give Thor new wings.

Power-wise Thor and Hulk are fine, they are just boring to play

I might give Thor another try to team up with Rocket.

Any opinions on the best fitting/feeling sleeves? I'm currently looking at the Gamegenic Matte, the Gamegenic Marvel themed (orange, purple, blue), or trying to find some Ultimate Guard Supremes. I'm planning to sleeve everything rather than just sleeve for decks being played.

I currently have an entire collection of Arkham Horror LCG sleeved in Mayday Premiums but honestly I'm not crazy about their fit/consistency.

Any opinions on the Gamegenics or suggestions for other sleeves?

 

[DarthSpider]

I've heard that the Sleeve Kings line is good if you're looking for a replacement for FFG sleeves. I also see a lot of people who swear by Dragon Shield Cleat Matte type. I'm not gonna be much help because I use penny sleeves.

 

[PopQuiz]

Yeah, I use Dragon Shield matte sleeves on everything. I just put all the hero cards in one color and villain cards in another. Makes it easy for me, but I'm not a huge sleeve snob.

Starlord and Gamora this Friday for me at my FLGS. I love their subscription service I don't even need to pay attention to release dates. They just call me.

On an aside. On a trip to Sci-Fi City in Orlando I got my hands on those awesome art sleeves for Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Captain America and Spider-Man.

It's a shame they didn't make any for the other heroes.

Yeah, their old space used to be huge. They had a lot of area dedicated to tabletop war gaming, and I remember just looking at the amazing dioramas and battlefields they had set up in there for hours, despite not being into Warhammer or tabletop gaming at the time. I remember they had a life-sized Predator statue too, and I just thought that was the coolest thing in the world as a kid. I used to hunt down Amazing Spider-Man comics there, as well as Magic cards. Good to know they're still around, even if it's in a different location. Isn't there also a Cool Stuff Inc megastore in Orlando too? I haven't lived in Florida for 15 years or so, which means it was actually more like 25-30 years ago that I used to visit Sci Fi City.

Yeah that's there as well but we didn't get to go to it, we had a lot of other places to hit.

Sci-fi City still has the Predator statue. They don't have the old 20 war table setup anymore, just the 6. But they are all really detailed and multifaceted (some are multi leveled too) it was cool seeing about 6 people playing on them (masks on)

It was a nice piece of Nostalgia for me as I haven't been there in almost 15 years myself. It was nice to talk to the owner for a bit as well.

It made me so Nostalgic I almost checked to see if UCF still had thier live action Vampire game going.

Does anyone play this on Tabletop Simulator? I just bought TTS yesterday but I'm not really sure how it works. I found like 700 mods for the game, but I guess I should just get the ones that have stars? Can you combine the mods, or just generally play one at a time? I'm gonna need to watch a bunch of YouTube videos on this I think. And just as a disclaimer, I do own everything that's been released so far.

FFG has revealed the expansion that will follow Venom Hero Deck, The Mad Titan's Shadow, a new campaign expansion featuring Adam Warlock and Spectrum against Thanos and the Black Order.

They confirmed 5 scenarios, but only revealed three of them, Thanos, Ebony Maw, and a dual fight against Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive -Supergiant and Black Dwarf appear in the box, but maybe they are minions or modular sets-. The other two scenarios are an unknown, but the US Asmodee site spoiled

Pretty cool that you can use the Infinity Stones as a modular set with any other villain. Thanos looks like he's gonna be super hard, especially if that "balance the scales" scheme comes into play.
