Pre Ordered this set yesterday along with kingpin. Really looking forward to both painting and playing with these guys. Great review as always and these characters are better than I expected
Pre-Ordered!!!! I did not even think of Doomed Prophecy as a card combo. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to look for a Loki box at my FLGS. Can't wait for your Kingpin video review.
Enjoy the shenanigans. Doomed prophecy is fantastic on characters like punisher as well as Valkyrie or Corvus Glaive with their flurry abilities. But there is a big downside to the card so pros and cons.
I don’t see any way the mnemonic technique isn’t way overpowered - especially on a 3 point character. And his counterattack means you simply won’t be able to kill him within range 3.
Haha yeah, the game is thankfully open enough that both can exist pretty easily. And the occasional brainwashing or villain teaming up with heroes happens every now and again. Personally I love having Loki and in Avengers with Thor for the get help tactic card.
Thank you for the review. We ran into this problem during game play. Punisher V. Black Widow... how does her Counter-Strike work against his Hip Fire/Rapid Fire? Does it occur after the first attack?
Great question. Since both the Counterstrike and Rapid Fire rules occur after the attack has been resolved you start with all of the attackers abilities and then the defenders. So punisher gets both attacks, then if she survives Widow would get to counterstrike twice. Once in response to the first attack and then once for the second attack.
@@TheGamersGuild Thank you for that. My boys and I are still new to the game. I downloaded the advanced rules and saw the "timing " for attacks... step 14 addresses this exact issue & your answer confirms it! Great work on your channel we are learning a lot. You might appreciate the builds I'm doing on my channel for MCP. :)
I pre-ordered this expansion and Daredevil/Bullseye. Does anyone know the confirmed release date? Or maybe better a reliable source for release dates? AMG's website lists month but not exact dates.
Not really, they aren’t bad together, but to get “The Fallen” to trigger it has to be an enemy effect. An easier synergy is to pair him with an ally that creates grunt since they are often and easily killed off.
Seeing this card in retail but everywere "Photographic Reflexes" is showing as an Active superpower, but everyone calls it Reactive superpower. *confused*

Woooohoooo taskmaster looks perfect for everything

Taskmaster seems perfect for my sin-lead cabal activation spam list.
Can see a combo of Punisher and Carnage with Blood red and personal

You can kill him within 3, he’ll just make sure you regret it if your dice miss
I'm so glad my lgs plays this game super thematically. some of the combos I hear about online make me cringe from a comic book standpoint lol.

It’s typically been the second Friday of the month. In the US at least
Would Bob be a good combo for Punisher since could potentially be dazed every turn?

@nathanieljarrard3350 excellent suggestion. Ultron drones, here we go!
Love taskmaster. Still haven’t bought into this game though
Waiting on a certain character or something else keeping you from it?

I should have mentioned this in the video but I asked AMG and it should be on their next errata update that they do
