Got the large size box in anticipation of filling it up

As someone who isn't affiliated or paid at all, just making you aware of the restock on Kingdomcomecards.com Great small business and great customer service!

They have a lot of OoP products RIGHT NOW and at decent prices (marked up, but not ebay extortion)

X-Men, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Sinister Motives encounter only cards, Miles Morales, Ghost Spider, Storm, Wolverine, and MORE!

Enemy Side

The previous turn Barrage & Gauntlet were revealed as my encounter cards.

Apocalypse was “No Longer Worthy”, but still had full HP (11), a tough status, and retaliate thanks to the Molecular Control attachment.

Sugar Man was at full hp (5) with a tough status.
Infinite Soldier with “Guard” had The Fittest attachment and 8 hp remaining.

The Dark Riders side scheme was in play with 3 threat.

Hero side

I was in Alter-Ego with 1hp remaining.

Allies were Bling & Gambit (but he had 0 atk/thw thanks to the encounter card attached to him having 0 boost icons).

My upgrades and supports were; Heroic Conditioning, Skilled Investigator, IPAC, X-Jet, Children of the Atom, Plasma Blast, Graymalkin, & Professor.

There were 6 side schemes in the victory display.

My hand

I had one Telekinetic Blast, Followed, and 4 other cards of no use.

I exhausted Professor to draw another card, but it wasn't a damage one either.

I had no choice, but to go for it.

My turn

I flipped to hero form & attached Followed to Dark Riders.

I exhausted Cable to defeat it, applied Followed’s damage to Infinite Soldier reducing him to 4hp, then readied Cable, and exhausted Skilled Investigator to draw a card. I used Graymalkin to pay for Plasma Rifle which took out Infinite Soldier.

In a last ditch effort I exhausted IPAC, dealt myself an encounter card, and was able to draw 2 cards…and the odds were in my favor. I picked up another Telekinetic Blast!

Now I just needed to get the tough off of Apocalypse & Sugar Man. With only 1hp I couldn’t knock it off Apocalypse because of his retaliate, so Bling! Sacrificed herself to do it. Then exhausted Cable to knock the tough off of Sugar Man.

Next thing…using both TK Blast’s thanks to X-Jet and the abundance of cards I had. Was it a clean board? No. But did I have one of the most unforgettable games of Champions I’ve ever had? Yes. 

So I converted my old mod set ranking video into a spreadsheet and updated it with the last two years of Marvel Champions content. So that's 130+ modulars (the interchangeable sets you add to villains), ranked by difficulty with notes on what each does, average boost icons, and other info etc. Oh, also there are three versions (three tabs in the spreadsheet) for different player counts (1-player, 2-player, and 3-4 player).

Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nmrzdk9KpIvOWY8eRy5okYFDOmWaxK7UPdkHS_Hlx7k/edit?usp=sharing

I've also released a video about this which also talks about the modern design philosophy FFG appears to be applying to modular sets, so check it out if it sounds interesting. And if not, just enjoy the spreadsheet. I hope it helps you all customize scenarios whether you're looking to change the difficulty, tell your own story or switch up the mechanics to make things fresh.

Thanks guys

Welcome to my 22nd Custom Hero for Marvel Champions! As I'm known to do, I've created another character from the fringes of the Marvel Universe, specifically the X-Men Universe: Stacy X.

Debuting back in 2001 (Uncanny X-Men #399), Stacy was introduced as a mutant sex worker at a brothel in Las Vegas known as the X-Ranch. What? Really? Stacy inexplicably joined up with the X-Men and had a pretty short-lived career with the team (roughly 20 issues) before disappearing. She has popped up a few times over the years but it still seen as a fairly obscure character.

Stacy X's mutant power is her pheromone control, using it on others to enhance their lust and adrenaline, and can even use it to make them sick. In Marvel Champions, Stacy X can play these Pheromone upgrades on enemies and allies when she uses basic powers (THW, ATK, & DEF) or by using cards like Pleasure Centers and Critical Illness.

The X-Ranch itself can take care of minions who have fallen victim to Stacy X's mutant pheromones, and clever timing with it (and her Snake Skin event) can help clear the board.

Her Obligation (Depowered) plays into the time when much of the mutant population were wiped of their powers, and she somehow ended up joining an incarnation of the New Warriors fighting crime with a battlesuit that used technology of other Marvel characters. Honestly, it's a pretty terrible story but it was a fun aspect to include in this custom design.

Like Agent Venom, Stacy X's nemesis set includes multiple nemesis minions, so when 1 comes out, all 3 do. And the Church of Humanity is determined to destroy the sinful X-Ranch, so you'll need to deal with them quickly when they show up!

I don't yet have a pre-con deck, but I'm excited to share this one and look forward to any comments and/or suggestions. Thanks!

I was watching some tierlist videos on Youtube and got the itch to make one myself. What do you all think?

Today we have a Marvel Champions playthrough of Magneto Basic Vs. Dark Beast!

So, I made this Gambit deck where you just want to get Nightcrawler going and then you save up charge counters to end the Villain with big attacks.

Gambit's big defense stat and team of allies help him survive while you set up your board, always taking advantage of Creole Charmer and Professor X to flip to Alter-Ego and chill.

With Gambit's strong economy, I went a little greedy with big cards like Avengers Mansion, Helicarrier and X-Jet, as it is essencial to have a lot of resources to keep replaying Nightcrawler. Nick Fury and Ironheart, as usual, help find the cards you need to get your engine going.

I found Counter-punch really useful with this build, which is cool because I never used the card before. 😁

Kind of tricky to navigate, something I do enjoy, so I had a lot of fun with this one. 🙃

Do you guys like Gambit as a Hero?

Edit: Forge is the 40th card, he is MIA in the picture. 😅 Oh, and I'm only playing with cards up to Wave 6. 🙃

Can someone explain to me why Electrostatic Armor is 1 cost and Flow Like Water is 2 cost? If I’m understanding the rules correctly, Electrostatic Armor will trigger every time you play a defense card and make a basic defense whereas Flow Like Water only triggers when you play a defense card.
