Gotta say I think you missed a trick. Steve and cable are brutally hard to take down, cables incinerate can help Steve do damage and 1 power each to bodyguard+tele shield (or double shield if Steve attacked is awesome
We did speak about putting Cable in, but there are some huge downsides with him. Firstly at 5 threat, there are quite a number of better options out there. Yes he has incinerate, but its only on a wild and with a 5 dice builder, its by no means a certain you'll get it off. Yes the 1 cost +2 defense dice are nice, but I would argue Doctor Strange (at the same threat cost) does this significantly better, plus much, much more. These lists will always be a personal choice, and if Cable has worked for you then that is awesome - its one of the things I love about this game.
It's the sad truth that Cable at 5 threat just isn't quite good enough compared to Strange, who is probably the best cross faction character whose is also a leader(there are loads of non leader 5 threats I'dtake over Cable). An honorable mention to Magneto(who would happily use Steve's leadership)as he might be on par but he's 6 threat ofc and then you up strange to 6 with a soul stone and well dear god strange might have too much power with steve's discount 🤣 But to be clear i love X-force and cable and am playing him as much as i can but X-force is in a weird place, needs more roster choices, feels like half the list and a good 2nd leader(maybe a better wolverine) is missing.
I see what you saying. Cable is in affiliation though. Not sure on strange off top of my head. The range 5 is nice though and sitting near Steve makes for a huge anvil
Good point totally forgot about Cable being inaffliation, strangely 😉 Strange is not in affiliation(curious if Supreme Strange will be?) always felt it was a bit odd they haven't added Strange to the Avengers but guess it's for some form of balance? So yeah in affiliation personally 5 wise Wanda would my go to.
True, just wanted to point it out. As you said before in other videos, alot of it is so close it won't make too much difference. Did have a game and cap took an iron fist and laughed it off (injured side with shield and tele shield) that was aimed at cable holding skrull It also leans more into the out lasting your opposition tactic more. Normally take widow(2) the 2 3 threat chars
Thanks for the video. As someone just one the cusp of getting into MCP, it’s really accessible and informative. And thanks for starting with the core set factions.
Great review, thanks. I've always wanted to run my Steve Avengers but my main focus is WW/Syndicate. Would be great to get a few minutes extra now that new Steve and Hulk have been teased!
Hey guys, thank you for the amazing content. I got into the hobby because of your videos and love the game so much! As a second army I want to go with the avangers now (Brotherhood were my first). Since this video is around one year old and there were many updated data cards and new charakters came out, are there any changes you would make to your roster concerning Battle tactics and Characters? Thanky you very much :)
Really good videos Rich is there any updates yourself and Quinn would make to the Avengers and the Cabal rosters you made now we have the errata’s and updates to the first 50 characters?
Can Steve’s leadership affect himself? It states “an allied character”. Does that count himself? Baron Zemo’s Strategic Genius is phrased “this character or an allied character”, it makes a distinction to include “this character” for Baron Zemo.
2 Cost Black Widow.... Pffff Bob says Hi! 1 cost plcae and 7 cost reload..... Plus you get the comical value of having an Agent of Hydra in Avengers! 😂
really interesting as a new player to see the different options for an affiliation in detail. keep up the great work with these awesome vids!
Glad you like them buddy, more to come!
These videos are great. Keep them coming for the other affiliations.
They are coming my friend!

Glad to see these. Nice for new and old players to get to grips with the options.
Glad you like them!

They were the OG’s and the two affiliations that everyone has, so it made sense to start with them!
Really liking this format, makes for interesting viewing.
thanks Ross, glad your finding it interesting!
I'm enjoying these. Especially because I live in a town where I'm one of the only players. Gives me an idea of what to expect from these lists.
These videos are great! Keep them coming
More to come!
Great content 👏 thanks for your insights.
My pleasure!
Top notch content as always!
Cheers Leon - much appreciated!
Great as always, I'd like to see your views on the Defenders and how you would run them.
Great review, thanks. I've always wanted to run my Steve Avengers but my main focus is WW/Syndicate. Would be great to get a few minutes extra now that new Steve and Hulk have been teased!
Yeah overall i am happy with cap and hulk's changes
Love these videos, can't wait for you to do defenders ;)!! this is great for finding new affiliations you wanna play
We've decided on affiliation release order, so they will be coming, you may just have to wait a wee while!
@@RichMidGaming happy to wait :)
Hoping for a web warriors, criminals and spider foes reviews in this format. Great job!!
Every affiliation will be covered mate!

Really enjoyed this. Would be good to hear guardians list giving advice to make them good
GOTG was one of my first loves in MCP - hopefully we can do them justice!
Not bad for a core box character!
Really good videos Rich is there any updates yourself and Quinn would make to the Avengers and the Cabal rosters you made now we have the errata’s and updates to the first 50 characters?
Hulk Smash!!

It does effect himself yes, as Steve is Allied.

Yeah…. But we want to win games remember John 😂🤣🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@RichMidGaming as I said before.... "power gamer" 🤣
Hi. Does the advice still stand after 1.5?
Is Hulk now a must take in Avengers in your opinion? Or is he situational?
With the updated card, he feels like an auto include on a Steve Avengers list, not so sure about Sam or Hulkbuster though
