Cable Marvel Champions Review - Hero Spotlight 

What are your thoughts on our new Player Side Scheme Slayer?

Nice detailed review! However, you need to stop being so passionate about this game. Every time I watch one of your reviews, I just want to drop everything and play some Marvel Champions. Darn you, Nelson! LOL!

The community ranking part had me rolling 🤣

Excellent breakdown! Thank you so much! 😊

I agree with how you've ranked the aspects! Something about Protection seems like it should work so well, and I can see on mcdb people are trying to get it to work, but I think - in solo specifically - it's rough. I think it works better in multiplayer, and I think it will work best after Angel releases and we get new tools.

We play company as domino abd cable >cable complete call for backup >we both draw a card >we both play nick fury It was so fan

Tvp can have threat removed by supports that other players have played. Supports do not count as the players identity, nor are they characters. In multiplayer, anyone running beat cop, or surveillance team could help. She hulks law firm can also assist

I found I lost most games where I start with TVP in play. If you don’t draw a event, it’s hard to clear and makes setup a real pain. I tend to start with a 2 or 3 threat scheme to start the buildup quicker. Have had much better results that way

Thanks for yet another thoughtful and enthusiastic review! I agree: solo he needs some tlc while in multiplayer he unleashes the team. Something that I noticed that not too many have commented on are his card types and how card types work in his kit. What I mean is this: he might be the first to have a support resource generator as opposed to an upgrade. It means that there really is a difference between Build Support and Superpower Training for him. If he does Build Support, he can get his signature resource generator but others need to pull a Helicarrier or Blackbird or Quinjet - or - he can forgo Greymalkin to pull his weapon to allow others to pull their clutch upgrade with Superpower Training. Colossus and Cable are so good because Cable can guarantee a first turn Iron Will every single game, on top of the Body Slide shenanigans! Cool Justice points, too, are that upgrades like Overwatch count as Cable thwarting thanks to the "you" rules, which also apply to the efficient Justice events, so I can see why that aspect is his best for solo.

Having played a bunch of Cable in multiplayer, if I have a Mind Scan or other 3+ threat removal card in my opening hand, I go for TVP right off the bat because I can clear it turn 1 and get the free ready to thwart or attack something else. If not, I grab something else (usually Build Support).

Great review! I’m loving Cable and he’s slid into my second favourite hero slot behind his dad Cyclops (at least until we get Punisher haha). But honestly so fun being able to break the deck-building rules and there are a few times where I have cleared 2 or more side schemes in a player phase powering him up quick. Late game is exceptional often double digits thwart and attack with his events. His nemesis is super hard though but very thematic as it’s basically Cable in a way. Love your content and subscribed!

so first off, loved the video. Cable is my most anticipated hero yet and somehow i have held off on getting this box til october so my wife could get me an actual bday present that i really wanted, its been tough. quick question, this is my first venture into the channel, and now i am definitely going back to the later ones, is your hero tier ranking just on ones you have already reviewed?

I'm really enjoying Cable, been undefeated in solo Justice so far. Knock on wood! He builds up so strong. 💪

Hey again! I'm now up to some 35 games with Cable and still having a blast solo and in 2 player. I've found him super powerful, and still agree to disagree with your tier placement (just watched your domino review though so appreciate a pinch of salt on comparing to others.) Strangely, and I'd Love your thoughts here. I had a 3 player game yesterday and yea...opposite of expectations. Playing with two attack heavy team mates meant clearing his side schemes for 9 nearly solo. It was a real slog...granted the other two players are very new. Forgive me if already done but a video on player aspect synergy would be amazing. In two player/two handed it's kind of easy to work out. But 3-4 I think you need to really know who's doing what.

I played with 3 heroes with Cable and I'd say for such large team leadership>justice, the way I played was to get Side Scheme that gets you ally, as first one have Uncanny Xfoce out asap and just create this engine that can remove 9 threat from a scheme every round to the end of the game (Fantomex, Deathlok and Deadpool, all with Inspired. although usually I'd finish my game just with first 2 in play) - what I want to say if you are in large group and want to remove a lot of threat in consistent manner I suggest go leadership

Been enjoying him so far! With Temporal Leap I’m guessing you add the four threat to the base threat of the scheme you pull from the victory display?

I agree with how you play TVP. I thought TVP was a turn one but I much prefer build support. I try to get an ally and med team out turn one

Great review! I’m interested to see how Cable’s power level grows as more player side schemes get added. He strikes me as the type of hero where deck building for the scenario will be a huge help.

I noticed some chracters are missing in the tier list

Cable? Sorry i am not interested i am streaming everything already. :)
