For some reason, I’ve had such a brain block trying to learn this game. I’ve read the manual and watched many videos and this is the one that finally clicked for me; mainly because you go out of your way to point out why things are and why other things can’t be. THANK YOU 🙏
So happy to see this new video! I haven't played MC in over a year and I have been thinking about pulling it out but I knew I would have to relearn--now it's no problem! Thanks for the video, I found your link in the facebook MC group.
If there are any new players reading this. Remember an "interrupt" trigger happens BEFORE the listed condition. And a "Response" trigger happens AFTER the listed condition.
Thanks for the great video. I appreciate your hard work in showing not only the turn phases summaries, but also circling very clearly where to find each symbol or keyword you were explaining. Made it very easy to follow you. Happy to like and subscribe. Hope your channel grows fast.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that :) That was a big problem for me when i started playing this game, not being able to find the symbol or keyword that was referred to so I’m really glad this helped. Welcome to the channel!!
I recognized this shuffle technique immediately when I saw you play in a 3 player match. Good video to learn the game. A game that will keep going on for the forseeable future 🥳
I have to say thank you so much for this video. This video broke down the game much better for me than any other video plus the rule book. You have to do more of these with different hero’s and villains you do an amazing job explaining things!
Thanks! The first encounter card that encounter phase was the Stampede which triggered Spider-Sense causing Spider-Man to deck out and get dealt a second encounter card which was the Charge
Great video. Very informative, and you moved through the phases at a good pace for people to follow along with. An unrelated question: Where did you get the fancy hero card? Thanks!
Great video! I just bought the core set tonight and would like to protect my cards. Could you please share what card protectors you are using and recommend? Thank you (:
Thank you both, I ended up going with gamegenic because they were a little cheaper and my local card shop had just enough to cover all the cards for play tonight. Had a blast and felt way better knowing they were all protected from the start. Thanks again! 😊
2:43 I think this is wrong. You do HAVE to put one modular encounter set. It doesn't have to be Bomb Scare, but the encounter deck still needs one set. Bomb Scare just happens to be the set the designers reccomend for the Rhino scenario. Am I wrong?
When a modular set is required it’ll say in the contents “One Modular Encounter Set (Down to Earth)” for example. Mojomania’s Magog also requires a modular set but not a specific one. It’s setup also says “One Modular Encounter Set” then specifies (a random mojo set)
Since it is an interrupt, can great responsibility prevent you from losing during step 1 of the villain phase - If there were 6 threat on the main scheme and 1 threat “would be placed”-
First off, great video! Question: At roughly 33 minutes in during the deal encounter cards step of the villain phase. Shouldn't the encounter cards be revealed in the order in which they were dealt, meaning Charge would have been attached to Rhino before Stampede was revealed and resolved (Because Charge was dealt when your deck was emptied)?
Thank you :) There’s a couple of different layers to your question-the rulings state that the player may choose to reveal encounter cards in order that they choose, though most players including myself try to reveal them in the order they are dealt. In regards to this game, Stampede was actually the first and only encounter card that was dealt during the “dealing of encounter cards.” The next step in turn villain phase is to reveal all the encounter cards that are dealt, with stampede being the only facedown card. So stampede is revealed, then Rhino initiates an attack, triggers Spider-Sense, i deck out, i deal myself another facedown card (Charge), then complete the resolution of stampede. Then, since I’m still in the step where I’m revealing encounter cards, and there happens to still have facedown encounter cards in front of me to reveal, i must keep on revealing so then i reveal the charge. I’m not sure if i did the best job of explaining that but hopefully it makes sense. If it doesn’t lmk!
@@webwarriorfanaticmy apologies I must have been sidetracked and missed the timing. I was under the impression that you decked out during his initial attack and drew the encounter card stampede after drawing the encounter card for decking out. But the rules do state that each player reveals each of their encounter cards in the order in which they were dealt. Which you obviously did
@@wkumher No worries! Totally understandable. For the order of encounter cards, this is the most updated ruling I've seen from the developers: "The order you reveal encounter cards does not matter. The one exception is if you reveal a card with surge, you must reveal the top card of the encounter deck immediately after resolving that card, even if you still have a facedown encounter card in front of you. -Caleb" I'm not 100% positive if this has been recently changed
@@webwarriorfanatic I really appreciate you getting back with me. I was referencing the 1.6 rules reference guide page 43 under villain phase step four. " the first player reveals each of their encounter cards one card at a time in the order in which they were dealt". However, I really did enjoy your video and I look forward to watching more.
I can not use my own helicarrier in the encounter phase for an interrupt etc. if i need to? 😲 I think i played this wrong alot of times :D I used the helicarrier like other ressource cards without the "action" keyword. Seems like this video is not only for beginners ;D
Yes, you can use other resource generators like Web-Shooter and Quincarrier during the encounter phase. Unfortunately “action” cards like Helicarrier and Team-Building Exercise are limited to the player phase.
No scripts or stacking! I made a note to play interrupts, didn’t get a chance to showcase Backflip though and got lucky with having enough damage for the kill that final round

You’re very welcome! Marvel Champions is a tough game to get into rule wise but I’m glad to hear this video helped out! Enjoy the game :)

Awesome! I’m really happy to hear that. Happy gaming and if you have questions feel free to ask
What a great video idea for newer players I’ve seen!
Thanks Dave! I hope this video is easy to follow :)
If there are any new players reading this. Remember an "interrupt" trigger happens BEFORE the listed condition. And a "Response" trigger happens AFTER the listed condition.
Thanks for emphasizing that! All true!

Hahaha iykyk! And thank you. I was so excited to hear that FFG still has big plans for Champions :)

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you’re getting into the game, that’s what this channel is here for :)
Great gameplay thank you. I have MC coming in the post and will re-watch this video then. Thanks for making it.
Awesome! I’m so excited for you. Hope you enjoy the game :)
Great teaching video for newbies, thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad you liked this video :)
Great play through and explanations. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Mike! Glad it’s informative 😁
Great video. @ 33:07 After revealing the 1st encounter card, aren't you supposed to reveal a 2nd one?
Thanks! The first encounter card that encounter phase was the Stampede which triggered Spider-Sense causing Spider-Man to deck out and get dealt a second encounter card which was the Charge
1 small correction. You should shuffle the player and encounter decks before resolving the starting scheme as they may take from or alter those decks.
Thanks! Good point!
Great video. Very informative, and you moved through the phases at a good pace for people to follow along with.
An unrelated question: Where did you get the fancy hero card? Thanks!
Thank you :)
I got the promo card from ebay. I believe they had these when the game first launched, but used is the only way to get them now :(
Nice guide tutorial
Thank you so much! Hope it helps :)
Great video! I just bought the core set tonight and would like to protect my cards. Could you please share what card protectors you are using and recommend? Thank you (:
Thank you! Dragon Shield clear matte for Hero cards, Penny sleeves for Encounter cards
@@adzymack i use gamgenic clear matte. They are a little bit cheaper afaik and also a good choice
Thank you both, I ended up going with gamegenic because they were a little cheaper and my local card shop had just enough to cover all the cards for play tonight. Had a blast and felt way better knowing they were all protected from the start. Thanks again! 😊
@@adzymack Nice!! Glad you got a good price and have your cards protected :)
Great video! I was going to make this video too but now I'll just point others to yours!
Thanks man! And i would encourage you to make your own. It can only be more beneficial for new players to have more resources :)
@@webwarriorfanatic I might. Since you did Spider-Man I'll do Captain Marvel :)

Yes, the threat will have been prevented in that scenario and you won’t lose the game!

Technically not every card you used was in the core box... I'd recommend adding a notation that the hero card looks different because it's a promo.
Oof good point maybe i shouldn’t have used promo Pete for this 😅
That incorporated a lot of nuances that aren't readily obvious. Did you script/stack the decks? Or coincidental?
No scripts or stacking! I made a note to play interrupts, didn’t get a chance to showcase Backflip though and got lucky with having enough damage for the kill that final round
