Are There Any TRUE AUTO-INCLUDES In Marvel Champions?? 

Oh happy to hear it’s helpful! 😄 Thank YOU for watching!

So glad to hear someone is in the same boat. Definitely my most played game. I own all of the expansions and scenarios (minus The a wrecking Crew), but less than half the heroes. Building decks, especially from marvelcdb can be a little challenging.

Ooo yeah I definitely didn’t think of that lol. Thanks for pointing that out!

That's awesome, I never realized that this is possible 😎

😂😂😂 I have no idea why I said it that way but that’s hilarious lol

Oh good catch! Didn’t remember that 👍👍

Thanks! Those are all great picks. Downtime has been getting a lot more play from me lately with these new heroes that focus so much on health. Regarding Quincarrier someone did point out the Ingenuity serves pretty much the same purpose so that’s another way to go!

Oh nice! I hadn’t considered that 👍👍

Great call with Ingenuity. I almost never play Iron Man so I totally forgot about that lol

Oh that’s so cool to hear! I do proxy new cards and try them early from time to time but I haven’t actually given this one a shot yet. Glad to hear it was as awesome as hoped! Happy Father’s Day as well!

Oh thank you so much for the very kind words! It’s my pleasure to do so ☺️

Those are all great calls! I almost mentioned Hulk, Make the Call, and Clear the Area 👍👍

100%. Make the Call and Clear The Area would’ve been the next 2 to mention for sure

Hey that’s a nice way of looking at it! 😀 And to be clear, for the trait locked stuff at least I don’t look at auto include as a negative. As you say it’s like fun presents for those heroes! But I’m never not using them so they still count for me 😆

Haha sorry! I guess we were all thinking about it after X-23 😂

That’s incredibly kind of you to say, thank you!!

Lol yeah, it’s amazing how differently valued certain cards are between solo and multiplayer (especially 4 players). I’d like to presents a more balanced perspective between the 2 but since I know solo so much better I figure it’s best to just stay in my lane 😅. I try to mention the more obvious ones for Mp when they come to mind, but unfortunately they don’t always come to mind 😆

Nice! I took a break from the Mansion for a long time and now I feel like I’m playing it in every deck again lol You’ve been partly to blame for me wanting to bring LotR back to my channel so I hope you get to play it soon! 😁

I never really thought about it til Spider-ham and then I realized how much more it can do for you! And for Psylocke it’s a definite include. Especially since she can recycle her Psionic cards so you’ll have even more targets

I do the same thing! I’ve got a set of the doubles in with all the hero kits, except we don’t have quite enough for a few of the heroes. So poor War Machine, Groot, and Valkyrie don’t get a set in my box 😆

I really should’ve mentioned that! I was trying to stick mostly to cards that didn’t require other non-hero cards to be auto-includes, but really what Leadership decks aren’t running enough allies to make Make The Call not obvious lol

Yeah I typically do too, probably could’ve mentioned Ingenuity. Especially for multiplayer where it’s much easier to get to alter ego to get it on the table! For solo I don’t always grab it if I’m playing a hero that might not be able to flip down on demand to play it if needed which is probably why I didn’t think to include it but it’s a great one for sure!

@@GetUpandGame I almost exclusively play Solo. Spider-Man is my favorite Hero to play. I usually run Justice Spidey. Inegenuity is not just an auto-include, but I usually try to find room for a second copy just to find one that much faster. Maybe that's overkill, especially when you consider Quincarrier and Web Shooters, but I just love having all the resources possible as quickly as I can.

@@starwindm8810I often consider running 2 copies of good resource generators so I know what you mean!

Lol I know, probably a weird take, but for me at least it’s true. GfC was, as you say, a little too good, and I certainly don’t begrudge anyone for using it, but after a few times I just started leaving it out. But now I wanna play it again!

Ha well they really should be the vast majority of the time. Even if you only put cheap cards in, the vast majority of heroes have enough 2+ cost cards in their kits along to justify them. Drax probably has the lowest cost curve in the game so he can get away with it, but other than him and some rare cases they should be in there. I don’t know if you’ve ever done this, but I’ve accidentally left the doubles out of decks before and it was very noticeable lol

Oh thank you so much for the kind words!

Yeah that’d be tough unless you made the scheme “assault”, or perhaps we’re playing justice. But still then likely 4 ER + however many activations to clear for those 2, that’s a tough one. Hulks don’t care about training, Hulks smash. Haha.

Haha yep, that’s about as far from an auto-include situation as it gets!

@@CoryLovec14 indeed! 😆

@@CoryLovec14 We were both playing Basic cards only in our hulk decks and it was Expert Thanos. We eventually switch to both playing aggression. We were both using the Direct approach, but still threat was a struggle we didn't have an extra 10 threat removal to take care of a specialized training. We did manage to beat him with both playing aggression on our 1st try. We were so close to pulling it off with basics only, we just need a little better threat removal in basics and I think we might be able to do it.

@@teraxenice! I love the idea of this challenge and really need to try it sometime 👍👍

Haha hey I’m right there with you. I use it quite a bit, and I probably could’ve had it as an auto include for me with Nova. I don’t think I ever build a Nova deck without it. Or Spider-ham. Or Wolverine. The list goes on lol. You’re right that it doesn’t always work out but it’s always fun and that’s really all I care about!

@@GetUpandGame oh yeah or quicksilver, spider woman, or hulk/she hulk/ drax with some limitless staminas, what doesn’t kill me/ earths mightiest heroes. If I can find a way to ready a hero, they’re being venomized 😂😂

@@NiceShot318 😂😂😂😂

Greetings! I like the way you think! Sounds like we have similar play styles! 😁

Hahaha true! I tend to think it’s always Father’s Day for Vision though 😆

Haha sorry about that. It’s a funny meme to call spiders “nopes” these days (as in Nope, don’t want anything to do with that!) so when I wanted to use the word “nope” that’s what came to mind. Someone else pointed out that’s a very common phobia for folks, and I just wasn’t thinking about that. Sorry if it caused any distress 😞

Thanks Isaac! If you haven’t seen it, I went through many of the deck styles when I talked about the aspects during the Change Your Game series: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2EPcofVZENw.html And I’ll also point you to Nelson All Over who has talked about this as well!

@@GetUpandGame oh wow i mustve missed the video, i think it came out right before i started playing so i must've never gotten around to watching.

@@ira_zinha there’s a lot at this point so it’s easy to miss! I’m sure there are newer archetypes these days that aren’t included in there so I probably should revisit it at some point anyways 🤔

For sure! Somehow I totally blanked on Logan there 👍🤪

Thanks! Yeah I’m the same way, even though some cards are so good I just choose not to run things like Ironheart and Nick just for the sake of variety I really need to play Spiderwoman Shield, still haven’t tried it and it sounds so fun!

@@GetUpandGame thanks for the reply. Routine, expecially when winning is addictive. After more than 275 plays, I start focusing on my least played heroes like Nebula, Thor, Hulk, Nova... That I haven't understood well or they performed suboptimal in true solo.

@@OresteGambasorry I missed this comment! That’s very true. When you strike on a formula that’s working it feels right to stick to it. That’s a good idea to try to shift your focus to your lesser played heroes!

@@GetUpandGame no problems. With tons of comments, sign that your channel has awesome feedback. I upgraded my MC spreadsheet with an automated graph that shows me least played heroes and win / lose ratio.

@@OresteGamba that’s so cool. I’ve long been kicking myself for not keeping track of what I’ve played so I’m always jealous when I hear other people were smart enough to do that lol

Yeah those two came really close to making it into the video!

Thank you so much!!! 🙏

Thank you kindly as always good sir! That’s a really good question. I think for me I try to have a sense of if I have enough of everything to cover all my bases, and if there’s anything I feel like I have too much of then I start cutting there. Like if I’m playing a hero that’s already good at minion control, then those cards might get cut first. Also I don’t always run 3 of everything. If I want a variety of different events then I’ll often just run 2 of each. That helps cut it down as well. And sometimes things are a little redundant. If I have a lot of effects that are doing very similar things then I pare those down. I lay out all the cards that definitely need to be in the deck, and then just slowly start peeling away a card here and a card there til I get down to 40. And if I get stuck at 41 or 42 then it’s not the end of the world lol

Ooo that’s a good one. I do really like Assess with Nova, and that’s a great idea with Cyclops!

Ha right? It’s interesting that they decided to wait so very long to include one of Marvel’s most popular characters. I guess they wanted to make sure they still had some heavy hitters for later in the game’s life maybe?

@@GetUpandGame Yea I just hope Defender's is up next after these X cycles.

@@Bumbum_Inspector I really hope so too, but for some reason I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll be Fantastic 4 first 😕

@@GetUpandGame Yeah, it's a toss up. Daredevil: Born Again comes out in 2024 though... and Fantastic Four isn't until 2025. So if they go for synergy with the MCU, us Daredevil fans might finally be lucky.

@@canadianmustash here’s hoping! They always insist that doesn’t factor in but I dunno lol. Seems silly not to take advantage

For any card that you’re allowed to use 3 of the pack should come with all 3. The only time (I can think of anyway) they only give you 1 is if it’s Unique!

@@GetUpandGame Thanks for the reply! The cards I'm thinking aren't so much "autoinclude in every deck", more "autoinclude 3 in certain decks". Not sure about The Rise of Red Skull; don't know if it gives 3 x Clear the Area, but I think the character packs only give 1 of each of the cards mentioned. Also, there's other cards that could run 3 of; following list is just sample of what I'm thinking. Captain America: Strength in Numbers Dr. Strange: Desperate Defense Wasp: Into the Fray The Rise of Red Skull: Clear the Area

@@aardvarkpepper7660 yep! You’ll get 3 copies of all of those cards in those packs! 😀

@@GetUpandGame I checked and yes, you're right! 🤔 I remembered wrong.

Oh my gosh I didn’t even think of that, I’m so sorry. When I think of the word “nope” i think spiders because of the meme which is why I did that, but I hadn’t thought of it being a trigger for some. Apologies 😞

​@@GetUpandGame I wouldn't have thought of that either 😬
