I just posted the newest version of the All Cards' Errata and Clarifications document, where you can find a detailed explanation of how EVERY card in the game works and their weird interactions! This document contains the official rulings used in major events.
You can find it in the files section of BoardGameGeek
https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/245522/unofficial-disney-villainous-all-cards-errata-and
Here are the changes:
-Added all Success At Any Cost and Come, We Fly! cards.
-Added clarifications to all cards that ask you to choose or find cards in a deck or discard pile that you should show them to the other player.
-Fixed Beetle Maui, its clarification was completely wrong.
-Improved the wordings on lots of cards.
As always, if you find any mistakes, let me know and I'll fix them.

Join AVeryNervous1, Jarek, Loki, LordInfinity, LordofthePlains, MetaCross, Pizzazleness and The Absent Friend as we discuss the inconsistent wordings, weird rulings and misprints of the game that have made it harder and harder to play correctly without looking up clarifications and erratas.
Playtester Lordoftheplains got a direct message from Mike Mulvihill finally confirming Family Blessings is discarded when the Hero it is attached to is found and replayed, like every other card in the game. We can lay this topic to rest now...
User AVeryNervous1 e-mailed Mike Mulvihill and asked again about the clarifications on Family Blessing and Seize Your Moment, saying again that because Family Blessings makes it so you must defeat the Hero it's attached to then you can't use Seize Your Moment, since that card discards Heroes, it does not defeat them.
HOWEVER, she also asked Mike whether you discard Family Blessings when you have to find and play the Hero it's attached to (like Miguel or Mamá Imelda, who can be replayed by I Have A Great Grandson, Dante and Pepita, respectively), normally when you find a hero already in play, you first discard all of their attached Items and Tokens, but apparently Family Blessings is an exception:
When you play I Have A Great Grandson, for example, if Miguel is already in play, you move him to any other location along with Family Blessings (if it was attached to him), same thing with Dante and Pepita, if the Hero they find is already in play then you must move that Hero along with Family Blessings (if they had it already attached).
This makes it more difficult to get rid of Family Blessings but is also an interaction that does not appear anywhere in the cards.
This just in (not really, it was a couple of days ago haha) users Lordoftheplains and darthjoker asked Mike Mulvihill at gencon some questions about Ernesto and Sanderson Sisters and it turns out Ernesto is not as good and the Sisters are sligthly better!
-Seize Your Moment CANNOT be used to discard a Hero with Family Blessings attached, as Family Blessings makes it so that Hero HAS to be defeated, not just discarded (so only when you vanquish that Hero, both that Hero and Family Blessings are discarded afterwards). You can still use Seize Your Moment to discard Heroes, but you MUST flip cards faceup (as Family Blessings only stops you from flipping cards facedown).
-You can complete both Bringeth To A Full Rousing Boil and Then Add Two Drops Oil Of Boil can be completed in the same turn because the Witches' Cauldron does not count as an ingredient so it doesn't count for the one ingredient per turn limit, so you can plan your first turns so you play a Witch to the Cottage to get the Cauldron and then play any other card immediately after to have spent 5 Power and get Oil Of Boil the same turn! (Note that it had been confirmed before that The Life Potion is also completed the same turn as Add A Piece Of Thine Own Tongue since the Life Potion is not an ingredient either).
What do you guys, think about these? This makes Ernesto struggle much more when Family Blessings is in play and let's the Sanderson Sisters win one turn faster!
Check out these matches of the Sanderson Sisters and Prince Hans, turns out they're the first ones uploaded to YouTube! We also made intro screens for them where Hans roasts Gaston lol
The newest Battle Royale tournament is about to begin... and this year we're joined by DAVY JONES, TAMATOA, ERNESTO DE LA CRUZ, PRINCE HANS and THE SANDERSON SISTERS in their competitive debut!
Each player will pilot one villain for the whole tournament and by the end we'll know who really is the KING or QUEEN of Villainous!
As always, matches will be uploaded to the Battle Royales YouTube channel:

Who are you cheering on?
>Ernesto goes second, he starts with 1 Power
>Go to Marigold Bridge and gain 2 Power
>Play Forgetting Me for 3 Power, flipping the three Photo Cards adjacent to the middle left Photo
>Play Poco Loco for 0 Power and either get Miguel or Dante (since he plays Miguel anyways), Miguel flips a Photo Card and Poco Loco flips the last one
>Ernesto can beat Mim before she even vanquished one Transformation
In Introduction To Evil rules it's worse since he already starts with 2 Power and on the portrait, meaning he can go to the Rivera Family Ofrenda or Marigold Bridge and have enough Power to win before the other villain has their first turn.
There's a 7.5% chance of getting the right hand and another 28% chance of getting Miguel/Dante so there's a 2% chance of being able to win first turn if you go second or play with I2E rules.
Edit: Fixed the probabilities, shoutout to PetBearCub
Now that they're all out and we've got a bunch of rules clarifications, here's an updated version of the Clarifications for Ernesto de la Cruz, Prince Hans and the Sanderson Sisters. This will be the last update I post before the latest version of the "All Cards' Errata and Clarifications" document is posted including every single villain in the game.
The Sanderson Sisters have A LOT of clarifications, partly because of some important ommissions in the guide and the cards about how their gameplay works.
THE CLARIFICATIONS ARE NOT CONFIRMED
Sneak peak of the next version of the Errata document that will include the new Villains, the clarifications are based on previous sets, we won't know for sure how some cards are played until the set is released but let me know if you think anything is wrong.
I didn't make sketches for weeks 1 and 2 so here are the ones I made.
In case the first one isn't obvious it's the Luigi stare haha.
More sketches I made for the Wicked League, Gaston using Hunter's instinct on Belle is my favorite.
A bunch of sketches I made for the Wicked League based on funny interactions from the game and some crossovers.
