Rules explanations/clarifications/mistakes: 1. At 5:55, Angela "Puts" minions into play, so revealed effects do not trigger. 2. At 13:50, Time of "the first" card does count previous cards revealed during the turn, so the trigger has already passed and you get to pass the surge in that case. Works like Steve Rogers ally ability.
I’m watching with the headcannon that Starlord is making all the problems happen (e.g. two side schemes in one turn) and Gamora having to play clean up.
Great game. These two look to have a lot of potential. Gamora's ability to pick attack and thwart cards from other aspects is amazing. You know me I will play Star Lord Solo (my copies of both should be here tomorrow) so as you said in this video that could make him very hard to use but I will try. Its going to be interesting to see how Drax works too. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming
Enjoyed both characters a lot, played each solo vs Rhino and Drang so far. I hate encounter cards so I didn't think I would like Star Lord very much but I was wrong. The three resource reduction was almost always worth the extra card, especially when you customize your deck, and made both his and the villain turn more eventful. Gamora I knew would be among my favorites as spider woman is also a favorite and I love the variety of choosing cards from multiple aspects. I was a big MtG player from back in the day so I love deck building. You made the same mistake I and I'm sure many of us did with her where you're doing multiple attacks and thwarts and we miss her ping damage on occasion. Minor mistake that I'm certain will get cleaned up as we all play her more. They continue to do a wonderful job with the way every hero plays making each very thematic, unique and fun.
@Jason Sceifers With my limited time to play games, I still need more time with Star-Lord before I join the "give me that extra encounter card" camp, and like it. ;) Gamora is more my speed at this point, but time will tell. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Great heroes, I want them a lot! I'm playing the campaign with a friend (he plays rocket lead and I play Groot justice) certainly I would like to have some of those cards hahaha is standard campaign but the first Collector and Nebula gave us hell, now we only have to play Ronan, but I'm scared hahaha. So as per usual here I come to bother with rulings hahaha, but I hope it can help you in the future, I think Star-Lord needs the help :P when you revealed Mister Knife the next encounter card was treachery and you gave it surge, I think you shouldn't, because the text in Mister Knife reads "The first treachery...each villain phase gains surge" and you already revealed at least Shadows of the Past this phase, so it's not the first treachery, I cannot say I'm 100% sure on this one, but I'm sure that's how Cap America's ability works "Living Legend - Reduce the cost of the first ally played each round by 1." if someone played an ally while you were in hero mode and then you change to alter-ego the ability won't trigger because is not the first ally played in the round, so I assume it's follows the same ruling. Sorry, I owe you a potato for the long post :P
Good point and I agree, it would work like Captain America's ability and if the "first" had already happened, it wouldn't take effect. Thanks for helping with rules clarifications! :) And I like my potatoes with extra butter. ;)
hey good run through... wish I was this quick at playing. And I don't care what anyone says.. solo against basic Rhino is tough... just played where Thor was in alter ego and Rhino had 1 threat on the scheme.. so he got to place 1 threat on scheme (up to 2 scheme) then encounter card where Rhino place placed 2 threat on the scheme (up to 4) and gained surge... the next encounter card was villain schemes.. and he got 2 pips on draw card for a total of 3 (and when to 7) and just like that I lost... playing with two heroes is nice since it kind of prevents this from happening but its alot more work trying to keep track of everything... thanks for sharing.. I just ordered a big bunch of characters I haven't gotten yet so looking forward to them coming soon... take care.
Great vid, Dale. My fav hero is Gamora. I like her abilities for deck building and play style. Unfortunately i dont have Starlords hero pack yet. However, I think i will like him as well. The new heroes are fun to play. I am really excited what new stuff and abilites FFG will bring with the next heroes.
Once he’s wound up he does incredible damage I just can help feeling on the verge of out of control while he builds. She’s just a font of wonderfulness. Toss that lady some alternate aspect cards. Great play through.
13:50. No Surge from the minion. Only the first treachery gets surge (not first after he enters play). The first Treachery was already revealed when he comes to play-similar wording as Steve Roger's ability.
Blaze of Glory affects ALL Guardians, not just those under your control. Nebula and Gamora would have been hit too. Thankfully it looks like you had this in the bag already.
I think we have been conditioned against encounter cards and SL has numerous cards that benefit from them so hard to unlearn. Clearly it's a timing thing with him as his burst damage is really good it doesn't matter how many encounter cards you have to face if the Villain is defeated before they are activated. Only had time for a quick go true solo and thought SL was great fun to setup for the burst take down in Villain Stage II. Basically a really fun addition to the roster forcing a different approach. Still I'm expecting a fair few losses as the control & setup looks to be a difficult to balance but I'd suggest this will be mitigated at higher player counts?

Gamora seems like she is going to be a beast in solo. Those abilities in hero mode are just insane. Another great video!
I’m a fan of a hero that can deal with thwart and damage at the same time. :)
Great playthrough! Gamora has quickly become one of my favorites, especially when saturated with Justice events and all 6 Aggression attacks.
Thanks! I really like the ability to bring in cards from other aspects with her too!

That’s how I saw it too! lol

Thanks for watching and good luck with the new heroes!! Gamora does fit my preferred playstyle ... Star-Lord, well, he scares me. ;)
Great game play! Keep up the real good games. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

@idjester That 7 threat on just one scheme can get you turn 1 if the encounter cards come out right ... or wrong. ;)
Thanks for watching!

Thanks ... and yes, getting him built up with all the extra encounter cards can get out of control! :)

@RocketMagnetUK Agreed, and that conditioning to not want additional encounter cards is going to be a tough one for me to break! ;)
At 19:33. Confused? “Makes sense for him.” ROTFL. Hey Now. He was distracted by his music! 😂
And with his mix tape, that is acceptable. ;)
Cracking (this means great in 🇬🇧) video to see his these two work - thanks
@Daniel Tremain Thanks for watching, and teaching me some GB slang! :D
Did you see the leaks for The Titans Shadow?
@Master thief I've seen some "pop ups" showing Thanos on the cover of a big expansion box ... but I'm still working on the Guardians. :)
Adam warlock and Spectrum are the heros coming in it, and Adam uses all 4 aspects.
@@masterthief4219 That will be interesting trying to figure which are the best cards to put in a deck of 4 aspects! :)
5:55 Angela does not reveal a minion :)
"Put in Play" Good catch, thanks! :)
I think you once said so but i forget. Which card sleeves do you use?
I use Dragon Shield clear matte for Marvel Champions.
@@DaletheCasualGamer Do they hold up pretty well? The ones im using stick and and are pretty flimsy.
@@RJLNetwork I consider them top tier, but they are a bit more expensive than the other "premium sleeves" like GameGenic, UltraPro, FFG, etc.
@@DaletheCasualGamer Ty sir. I love your replays. I already ordred some to replace the ones i have. Expensive yes, you are right, but you get what you pay for.
@@RJLNetwork if money is not an issue. dragon shield matte is the best. If you have even more money go for Ultimate Guard Katana :D
Why Rhino against guardians ? He didn't do anything wrong 😭😭🤣
Haha, well there was all that breaking and taking, which I’m fairly sure is illegal
He stole something they wanted. ;)
