Changing up campaigns

Hi hi

Me and my friend decided to go back and play the rise of red skull.

We really wanted to focus on flavour and have a good time rather than making it super difficult or what ever, and it has been really fun and refreshing to go back and play more of the older cards.

We decided on playing the spies vs hydra's forces, me with Black Widow and him with Jessica Drew.

here are the lists we used out of interest, they are nothing ground breaking but they were fun.

With more runs through im sure we could improve these lists but they were good enough for what we needed.

The twist we did to the campaign was simple

we used the Captain America Encounter set as an extra set that went in every scenario.

This added more minions that were not out of place and just changed the missions up enough that made it a new experience. at any moment hit squad or Zemo could deal you damage and that put some new tension into a game that otherwise seems very familiar by now.

You could of course go even further if you wanted swapping out some sets for more hydra theme encounter sets or even changing it up completely with other side sets that complement what the villain's are trying to do. you could even add victory points to some of the cards and make a credits style system, similar to the guardians campaign.

I am aware that this isn't anything ground breaking but after we finished taking down the red skull we instantly wanted to try this again, tweaking campaigns and seeing how they change it up.

our next idea has been to play the guardians campaign, adding the Ronan print and play to each mission (we wont add him vs Ronan at the end for obvious reasons but might add something else) but giving Ronan victory 3. That way we get some more extra credits and that balances the extra difficulty.

this seems like a fun way to maybe address some of the issues with the difficulty settings in the box, we will have to play around more to see, but the point is to push ideas and change things up. maybe the collector will fell very different if you swap out one of his sets, what would you recommend?

I also want to at some point try making my own campaign, solely using cards and encounter sets that I have and really see where the creative side of villain deckbuilding can take us, I know that some people have already tried some of these things to great success and its one of the most under used sides of champions in my opinion.

anyway until next time!

p.s. for the guardians campaign we are using Venom and Spiderman, here is my deck list and one I'm having a lot of fun with so far.

Hit or miss?

Hi everyone! Check out these two side schemes Is one more important to deal with than the other? What about these two minions? What factors should you consider when deciding to deal with it this turn? Should you even deal with it? A lot of people when confronted with a scheme or minion will jump to first think what’s the best way to remove that from the board. But maybe the question should be what is it doing to the game state? Check this out Once this card has done its thing, what is the difference between this card and an advance token? What about his one? Is there a difference between this and playing on heroic 1 if you left it in play? How bad is that for you? Well let’s try to thing about the factors that goes into answering these questions The first question for me would be what difficulty am I playing on? One extra threat a turn could be easy to manage if I’m on standard where I’m not expec...

OH YEAH!

Hey So my copy of galaxies most wanted came the other day and I was super excited to play it. My kid wanted to be Groot and I so was set on being this guy I thought I would share my deck building so far so maybe some people could get some insights into how I build decks in this game. Disclaimer I don't actually own all the cards so if you ever look at my list and go but why has he not added x? well now you know. ok now to the first build ok so check out version 1 Firstly I wanted so check out some of the new cards so I started with hand cannon, bug, looking for trouble and thruster boots. I found hand cannon to be good but not great, a large part of that was because in our particular set up for the games I have to do the main part of thwarting and so I found myself having a plan more often than attacking. Rocket also has great tech cards by themselves and so I found I wanted his set ups more than the big attack. this also meant that mean swing was not at its best here eithe...

Hi It's been a while since my last post but I thought you should check out this latest Spiderman build I have because I think its real fun! Let's check out the deck list first https://marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/10053/spider-man-protection-1.0 ok so what's the idea behind the deck? so the idea is being attacked is not that bad for you, and in fact a lot of the time its quite good! every time the villain attacks you you get to draw a card. this helps in a couple of ways. 1) Resources. Having an extra card means more stuff to play on your own turn and outside of the couple of 4 cost cards, most of the deck is cheap leading to more turns where you can play two things in a turn. 2) It helps get past the bad draws. every time you draw you are less likely to have the turns where you have all defensive tricks and nothing to do with them. drawing into one more card can help you set up. next is this card now its no surprise tha...
