What is your favorite card in this new Nightcrawler pack?
All that bumf sinergy seems to make nightcrawler one of the most complex and interactive hero itself. I really excited about what hard decision you will have to make every round: spend the bumf now or keep it to another card. Great design.
My favorite is Teleport Drop. With the art and theme. It's quite good, but the art really brings it to the top for me.
@@tonynichols4948 The art is amazing!
Change of Fortune, because Ghost Spider Protection even needs more reasons to Ghost Kick as a response during the Villain phase!!!
Worth sprinting home for! (Wish I could have BAMF'd.) Nightcrawler looks amazing and just my style!
First they give me Iceman to get into the game. Now Nightcrawler. Love it.
Lets goooooo!
That little critter in the corner is called a Bamf. They're little "demons" that are associated with Nightcrawler and sort of listen to him.
Thats awesome! I want one!
@@NelsonAllOverCards hahaha me too!
Ooh thanks for the info! I wonder if we will see them then!
@@VillainTheory maybe, if we do I think it'll be 2 of them and then he'll have his cutlass for retaliate, maybe.
Pickles!!!
Spider Gwen loving “change of fortune.”
Such a great call!
That was the first thing I thought of as well.
I’m so excited for Kurt I’m listening to this a second time ❤
Kurt HYPE!! WOO! 😄
🎧let’s gooooo
This could be the hero that finally gets me into protection.
Lets gooo!
Change of Fortune is absolutely crazy in Ghost Spider perfect defense decks with Spider UK
That sounds amazing! Would it synergize with UK though? I think "you" have to defeat the enemy and I think that means UK wouldnt count
@@NelsonAllOverCards "you" has gotta be one of my biggest gripes with this game - it's way too vague! Personally at face value I'd say "you" should include allies since it doesn't specify "your hero" but at the same time "you" has been used differently in almost every possible context so I guess it'll be a case of maybe waiting for a ruling
Amazing video. I love your collab with villantheory. I have almost all the collection despite it's really hard to keep it up in Russia. Really love the game.
❤ from Russia!
Thank you! Its such a fun game!!
@@NelsonAllOverCards Yeah, do you think it will be the last wave with x-men?
New x-men 97 animated series is just a bomb, it is so good that it inflamed me to instantly buy the latest heroes and i cant wait to get jubilee.
Have your seen it?
@@SandClockMan I think so, they said there would be 3 waves due to licensing so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the end
I just started it yesterday!
@@NelsonAllOverCards uh, thank you, didn't know that about the licence. But, anyway they've already made all the iconic heroes. But in the end I would be happy if they make a Magneto hero, since he was a good person almost in half of comics and tv series. Like they did with Nebula.
Notice that "Under Control" doesn't discard after the minion attacks and/or takes damage, so if you put it on a beefier minion, they can take multiple instances of damage from it (I'm looking at you, prelates of Apocalypse!) Also, it says "After a hero defends...", so as the minion is passed with the first player, the new first player can trigger it if they defend and don't take damage, it's not just you or your hero that can trigger it. I'm envisioning a deck with this and "Containment Strategy" where you deal damage and remove threat simply by playing a perfect defense.
Love the collaboration you guys are awesome!
❤️ ❤️
Awesome video - so glad you recorded the joint reaction video! I think Under Control is very good for perfect defense heroes. Oftentimes the villain is punching too hard to reliably trigger a perfect defense, so if you have ample allies to chump block the villain but want to use your defense each round, I think this card is exceptionally strong and incentivizes defending more than just the villain - Particularly when you pair it with Change of Fortune and Unflappable (to kill the minion, draw 3 cards, maybe remove threat with hard to ignore).
Ooooh great call, yea you can keep the minions around and have them fuel your engine that’s really fun!
Worth mentioning; you can use Rapid Teleportation to fetch the Bamf! from discard if you need a Strength resource. Pretty narrow case, but it came to mind.
Oh that is cool! Makes villain attachments a bit easier to take care of!
the 2 allies are crazies : Rogue with ally Prof X, you thwart fort 8 + confuse or 13 ! With Gambit, MPV ally in a shield deck (Global logistic/Blindlofd) or Scarlet Witch (her capacity) and her crown (plus one) ! With him, more the deck is harder, more better he is
That is some insane efficiency! Gambit joining SHIELD, I want that story arc now!
I'd love if Nightcrawler's signature ally was the Bamfs from that one comic, but that seems unlikely.
Otherwise, this is just perfect for me and since Nightcrawler is my favorite X-Man I couldn't be happier. A cheap kit with a unique and interesting mechanic, good for Protection, and a form-changing card. Let's gooo!
So glad to hear it!! I am so looking forward to it!
Hey guys, thank for the in depth review.
I printed out a proxy version of the Nightcrawler cards (using 3 copies of Bamf! in the kit...which feels right).
After playing around with him a bit, I think that Tech Crawler is going to be really strong. Here is the deck list (obviously, we are missing about three cards from Nightcrawler's kit, but those can just replace some of the cards in this list when he comes out):
Total Cards: 40
Allies: 5
1x Forge
1x Mockingbird
1x Nick Fury
1x Polaris
1x Rogue
Events: 12
1x 'Port Away (Not sure if this will be 1 or 2 copies of it, so I just went with what Villain Theory suggested.)
2x 'Port and Punch
3x Repurpose
2x Scout Ahead
2x Tally Ho!
2x Teleport Drop
Player Side Schemes: 2
1x Establish Perimeter
1x Astonishing X-Men
Resources: 5
1x Genius
1x Energy
1x Strength
2x The Power of Protection
Supports: 3
1x Deft Focus
1x X-Gene
1x The X-Jet
Upgrades: 13
1x Armored Vest
3x Bamf!
1x Deft Focus
3x Energy Barrier
1x Electro Static Armor
2x Forcefield Generator
2x Unflappable
Basically using Bamf! during the villain phase lets you defend for 3-6 (Retaliate 0-2 depending on upgrades) without exhausting. Draw 1 from Unflappable. Nightcrawler can then Basic thwart for 2. Then ready use Repurpose, which lets him basic attack for 3-4. All without playing the other cards in his hand. It's so much fun.
Always love heroes that are built heavy with protection in mind.
I love Teleport Drop. I’ve never seen nightcralwer as an offensive menace due to most of the allies/enemies he’s shown with. But dropping someone out of the sky and letting gravity do the heavy…pulling…is quite effective on many marvel villains.
Looks like that character in the corner is Beast. It’s the cover of 2013 Amazing X-Men #1. Rest of it has the X-Men team.
Loving the art choices on this one. Did our boy Kurt proud 😁 same for Rogue and Gambit allies!
In the comics there are Bamfs from hell. They are miniature elf nightcrawler clones that help him in various storylines. Wouldnt be shocked if he gets 2-4 of them. Im guessing 3 bamfs, and his sword to round out the kit or 2 bamfs and 2 swords.
That would be awesome!
ooh, imagine pulling "Dragon" (From Mojo mayhem) out for Gambit (4 boosts), and boosting Gambit and healing him. He'd like another full hero on your board if you could keep him alive. Of course, that would be super situational, and a one in a million pull. But I'd love to focus a deck on that just to try and make it happen. :)
Rogue gives you a way to actually kill deadpool, so that's funny. Love that Nightcrawler is finally announced!
A 3 player game with iceman nightcrawler and cyclops is gonna go crazy
Unadvertised cards I'm expecting for his kit:
A 2 cost rapier/ cutlass upgrade that gives him +1 attack and retaliate. Maybe this could be two 1 cost upgrades if they want to make them a pair like Drax's knives
Some sort of Chapel support card that gives him a conditional heal or helps cycle cards back into his deck
An Amanda Sefton signature ally
Azazel as his Nemesis, with a side scheme that does damage whenever a Bamf! enters the discard pile due to a card effect
31:57 that was my first thought on him. He can keep a card out of the villain deck.
Makes that side scheme upgrade from angel that removes threat when you defend and don’t take damage, much more playable now
ooooh thats a great call!!
Oh, Containment Strategy. Nice!
Very excited for this pack. Great art, and I gravitate towards perfect defense shenanigans.
I think we still shuffle for Gambit. Similar to Hawkeye’s Quiver
I think the quiver “searches” not “looks” so I think this is more in line with Falcon/Blindfold thoughts?
@@NelsonAllOverCards Ohh right right right, you’re spot on. Makes Gambit even better 😎
I cannot wait! And it releases just before my birthday!
Maybe this has been answered with other cards but Under Control brings up an interaction question with Valkyrie. Assume we are playing true solo. If Valk defeds against the minion and it has Death-Glow and Under Control attached, did Valkyrie defeat the minion for the Death-Glow trigger? Sentence 1&2 seem to contradict in this case.
• Upgrades - Unless attached to a different character,
upgrade cards are considered to be an extension
of the controlling player’s identity. Attacks, thwarts,
defenses, action abilities, and triggered abilities that
resolve on upgrades in play under a player’s control
are also considered to be resolved by that player’s
identity.
Regarding hero defense and Under Control - Couldn't you play something like Jump Flip, since you typically know how much a minion will hit you, so it makes you 'defend' the attack, reduces the damage taken, removes threat, and whacks the minion for 4 damage. It's 3ER if you include the Under Control cost for 4 damage, 2 damage reduction, and 2 threat off the main.
It's an interesting card. Something to keep an eye on as the card pool grows.
I think we might see like 4 Bamfs in the deck, that would be cool. what i like is that there is a use for them other than just attaching to enemies, so if you are playing a scenario that doesn't have many minions it still has a use.
I also really like the green cards, I love playing a retaliate/punishing the enemies for attack me deck, so they will just be more tools in my kit :D
Four would be awesome! It would pretty much always be a nice target for the alter ego ability!
Looking at the numbering, I'm betting on three copies of Bamf! in the deck. It's card 6 of the whole deck and card 5 in Nightcrawler's set. Card 7 for the whole deck is 'Port and Punch, which is card 8 in his set. So 5, 6, 7 of his set should be Bamf! I'm super excited for this pack. I've been wanting Nightcrawler since X-Men were first announced. Now they just need to give me Beast.
Rogue will be insanely powerful with someone who has a high attack. Thinking of someone like Hulk, maybe Wolverine
I'm a bit excited about the Queen keyword. If we get a Hellfire Club Scenario Pack, we'll potentially have Black, White, and Grey Queens and Kings. They could do a lot with those Key-Words. Might be fun if we get a Magneto hero pack (believe he was the Grey King when he led the X-Men).
Also, in the Crazy Gang, I think we have the Knave of Hearts along with TeedleDee and TweedleDum. I may be remembering wrong, though.
Yasssssssss
🎉 🎉
Great vidéo ! I am so excited about Diablo, I like everything I saw : love the character, protection, bamf mechanic, signature cards, new archétype with the green upgrade, allies, combine so well with Cyclop…September is so far ?!
Astonishing X-Men has to be misprinted. Having a 5 threat side scheme that players can thwart to instantly stun and confuse all enemies seems way overpowered (not to mention weird if nobody is playing with x-men). My guess is that you can’t thwart it regularly.
I'm most excited to get change of fortune on Black Panther, with a bunch of extra retaliate on him.
Super hyped for this pack! Great preview guys!
My first thought with Rogue is using her in protection X-23. The damage can ready X-23 and make Rogue a 4 thwart in protection which is huge. X-23 protection can usually handle threat fine anyway just because she’s so strong but being able to focus on attacking mostly while Rogue does huge chunks of thwart could be huge.
Rogue also is amazing with Professor X or Nick Fury, since you don’t care about pinging them with damage and they can boost her stats wildly.
Ooooh these are great thoughts! I love the idea of readying X23 with her!
She can also pong honey badger for one additional ready right ?
@@sebastienxing8372 Assuming Honey Badger isn’t defeated by the damage.
@@stephenball2108 yeah, probably in conjunction with protective training :)
IMO, Astonishing X-men is missing something: "per player icon" and/or Hinder combo even if "2: hinder3". We have these existing mechanics for a reason :(
Also, Executioner, on reveal, will "Attack" (not merely "activate") vs target even if the player is in AE!
For those going home to rest on lowHP...and may/may not have a chump-block at the time.
AND he WILL just target an ally on 1-2HP remaining (leaving a healthy ID alone) and thus you have to actively block with some other "healthy" source. He gonna be a BAD MAN! He gonna EAT allies!
So happy about this!!!! Thank you!
Bamf! makes Bait and Switch really tempting.
Ooooh and toe to toe!
@@NelsonAllOverCards Yes! I forgot about Toe to Toe!
blew my mind. Finally something new! finally lots of new ideas in cards from Kurts to the allies to the minions. This is what keeps the game alive. Need this now not september :'(
He looks so awesome! Cant wait to try him out!
I am very excited for protection to get so many new toys! Also, his name is pronounced with a V, so "Vagner".
Thank you!!
The text in the article says Rogue can get Gambit's boost, but wouldn't that contradict the "printed stat" rule?
Good stuff!
I think rogue is so obviously good she's making Gambit fly under the radar in leadership recurring gambit with like to me my X-Men pixie and make the call you could see/control so many villain cards
Thinking if you could get rogue and wolverine together in a Cyclops deck. Wolverine taies just the one damage, and then heals up.
That is a super interesting combo! Cyclops is getting so insanely good!
Iceman got two snow clones so perhaps Nightcrawler will get two bamfs.
I don't think he'll have a signature ally since Rogue is his "sister" and she's already Gambit's, I can't think of anyone else, but he might have a sword or two (or three with the tail) as upgrades.
BTW, in the Asmodee store you can see Azazel is his Nemesis (DNA father), so it will be interesting how he counter the BAMF with his own BAMF
Ooooh good call on the upgrades! Other than Bamf we didnt see any, I wonder if the swords could interact with the Bamf mechanic, that could be pretty cool!
Oh fun catch! Im sure there are some really fun things you could do there!
I'd guess we'll have Nightcrawler's blade to add +1 to his ATK
Also, I would think Sig Ally for Nightcrawler would be his beer-drinking buddy, Wolverine. I can also see Shadowcat or maybe a Bamf (from Kitty's Fairytale. The Bamfs were hilarious). I'm not actually sure what's behind him. It could be one of the creatures from the realm that he travels through when he teleports. I can't remember what they're called.
Wait, I interpreted Bamf as redirecting enemies attacks to yourself without declaring a defense, meaning you don’t get to defend you just take the hit. Are you saying that. Bamf allows you to re-direct AND defend for 3 without exhausting?
My first guess is that the first three cards will be an ally, his rapier/sword, and an alter-ego Cathedral support.
Hoping the ally will be Beast and they have a Team-up card called “Blue(s) Brothers” or something like that
And they wouldn’t be able to release the Beast stuff in this post because it would give away his hero pack announcement.
I feel like otherwise they always announce the hero ally.
So, either no ally, or Beast confirmed? 👀😂
OK, so Rogue becomes a web-warrior and when she goes away triggers Web of Life and Desteny
She sure does!! That is awesome!
Change of Fortune HYPE
Im so freaking excited for that card!
Looks like the first hero that makes me want to play protection! re: Gambit, what villains/mod/encounters have the most cards with 3-4 boost icons on them?
Nice! Protection is the best!
Dragon from fantasy has 4, Frost Giants has a good number, Sinister Assault is pretty loaded with boost icons!
There are some interesting ones for sure!
Let's GOOOO FUZZY!!!
Lets Gooooooo!!!!
Let's goooooo
Woooooo!!!!!
Nelson - which Villains do you think have the best decks to test a new charachter on pls? Great channel ☺️
What do you guys think are going to be the remaining Nightcrawler cards? Bamf started at card number 5, so what are cards 1-4? His sword? An ally? Any other predictions?
Weird thought... Running a 40 card deck with a bunch of weak allys, intentionally recur executioner to thin out your deck so that you get your hero cards much more often? Nightcrawler getting bamf and his events much more often?
I love this idea! Haha get down to just the cards you need!
bamf bamf bamf 💥
💥💥💥
Rogue in a Hulk deck?
Ooooh that could be a really fun build!!
Ikr? And you can do that every turn for a good while! Just keep Rogue alive!
Is bamf permanent upgrade?
Nope!
No audio!
Sorry... Didn't mean that to sound rude, just making it visible... :) excited to hear your thoughts.
@@tonynichols4948 I think the problem is on your end! It's playing fine for me
Working now... Maybe I loaded it up too close to posting
@@tonynichols4948 Glad it started to work!!
Mine did the same thing! I had to reboot my Nvidia Shield for it to play the sound.
So... "WAG-ner"?
I think we pronounced it incorrectly?
Maybe I'm just being that guy, but it's "Vawg-ner," he's German, so it's pronounced like the composer.
@@urloony Haha thank you! I would prefer to be corrected than continue to go on saying it incorrectly!
I should have also added that you both have the best content along with d20 for MC.
@@urloony thank you!! 😁
The hero I'm most excited for and i cant hear a damn thing.
Oh no! I just checked and it looks like everything is okay on my end, try to reload maybe it just hadnt processed all the way when you clicked on it! 🙂
UA-cam must have had an issue since I had to reboot my device to hear UA-cam after this posted.
@@NelsonAllOverCards all good now. Thanks for the great content!
