Every Hero’s BEST ASPECT And PERFECT MATCH-UP | 43 PERFECT Games YOU Can Play! PDF In Description 

Oh it’s the game for sure lol but I really appreciate the kind words! 😂☺️

Oh thank you very much! 🙏😀 That’s the next thing I’m working on! I’m very slow these days after having my second child a few months ago, but the next thing on the channel when I get to it will be a whole new set of Perfect Matchups, including the X-Force wave!

Thank you so much! Yes! I wanted to give some of the clues but I didn’t wanna give away all the fun little secrets. A big part of how fun these matchups are is when you realize how well a particular card works. So I tried to strike a balance between talking about why it worked without giving away all the goods lol I’m so glad to hear you’re gonna check it out! I hope you’ll let me know if the games are as fun as advertised! 😆

Awesome! I’m so glad to hear this will be fun for you! I knew I couldn’t be the only one who struggled to pick my games lol Thanks so much for the kind words, and I hope to hear about some fun games when you get to it! 😃

☺️🙏☺️🙏☺️🙏

Oh I’m so glad to hear you’ll be playing these! Yes those decks by Isaiah are truly incredible and I’m so grateful to him for taking it upon himself to make all those for everyone ❤. I hope you enjoy the matchups and I’d love to hear about how it’s going from time to time!

Hahaha thank you!!

Hello! Thank YOU so much for the kind words! I’m so glad to hear your enjoying the matchups! This still might be my favorite thing I’ve done since starting the channel. I’m always so happy to hear when it’s helpful or fun for someone ☺️ I haven’t had a chance to take a look at a potential round 2 of these yet, but I can definitely see revisiting it again someday after we get a good amount of new heroes and villains to matchup again!

Oh thank you for the kind words! Ha really?? How did I never notice that lol. Thank you as well for pointing that out!

That is incredibly kind of you to say Cory. That means a lot to me and I’ll try to live up to it! That’s so cool to hear! I’ve been running through more of them the last couple days, and I hope they’re as fun for you as they have been for me!

Hey buddy! Haha wow, I never actually expect anyone to watch the long ones all at once lol but it’s always cool to hear when people do! 😁

Thank you very much! 😄 That’s a good way to go, there’s no hurry. Tons of ways to play in just the core set alone 👍

Thank you! This is definitely one of my favorites ☺️

Haha right?? I guess it takes an indestructible cartoon character to get the job done 😆

Oh shoot sorry I just saw this comment! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the kind words! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed Kittie in this matchup. I agree she really gets to show off and feel so cool lol

Thank you very much for the kind words! That’s a great way to use it! Hopefully if you don’t like the hero as much or aren’t as familiar with them, by putting them against a great matchup that will give the best chance for fun/success 👍 Haha me too! Now that the bottle neck that was all the work put into this is behind me I can finally get those jokers back into business 😆

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and I hope these games are a good way for you to get to know all your stuff!

Thank you!!

So close! I can hardly believe it ☺️

Thanks! I hope they’re super fun! 😀

Haha no worries! I’ve got each round time stamped so it’s easy to watch in 10 minute or so chunks 👍

Finished! Wow, this was amazing Josh! Congratulations! 🎉❤ Whenever I buy new cards I’ll try out these combinations 😁

@@carlosfreitas6790 thanks Carlos! ☺️

That sounds awesome! I was toying with the idea of adding something like that to this but it was getting to be too much lol so I just decided to roll without it. I still might get around to that eventually. Looking forward to hearing how you go about it! 😀 Thanks for the kind words and I’d love to hear about any great games this leads to!!

Thank you so much!

Oh glad to hear it! Thanks for watching! ☺️

Hey yeah happy to do it! I’m sad we have to wait so long but hopefully this can help pass the time a little! 😀

Thank you so much Peter! That’s really really nice to hear. I truly hope everyone enjoys this and gets at least some extra fun out of the game for a little while! 😀 I’d love to hear back about any fun games you get from this!

I just played the first game with spider man vs rhino. And I built my very first deck in protection. I took a few of those ideas of yours and I whipped him. It was so fun. I even played expert (I rarely do this) and swapped out bomb scare for beasty boys for something harder. It is a smaller set (only 4 cards to Bomb scare’s 6) but created some interesting moments. I don’t think I took a single damage that entire match! This is so fun. I can’t wait to try the other heroes!

I tried colossus against Magog and won twice but I need to work on that hero more. It was rough. It didn’t help that my random modular was crime. Yikes. That got out of hand fast and I just had to steamroll into Magog. The venom and Drang was sick. I actually tried Expert Drang for the first time and beat him twice in a row. What a great matchup.

I got up to Hulk and man he just is not good. It too me forever to beat him in just standard. I honestly think I would have to build justice or something as aggression was just rough and all those darn boosts kept flipping him back. Even when I had a target acquired out it just couldn’t keep up. Yuck. He is so poorly designed. They really did a poor job playtesting him. He needs something more.

@@psovitzky yeeeeeeep. I played that matchup a few times, and I was very happy with it because it accomplished what I wanted it to do. It made Risky Business a much more interesting and difficult scenario, and it requires you to play Hulk in a way that isn’t just hoping to draw Hulk smash twice and win. But he could be so much better 😕

Thanks! And I forgot to mention the most important part of their match-up: they’re both blue wearing purple! Truly a perfect match-up 😆

Nice! 2 of my absolute favorites. Aggression and Justice Ms Marvel is some of the most fun you can have imo, and protection is surprisingly good for her as well! And Spiderham is my number 2 favorite, so that says it all about him!

😁😁😁

Awesome! I hope to hear about some great games! Hopefully it should be very soon. Shortly after the announcement I came down with something that seemed to hold on for a very long time and I just wasn’t feeling up to filming playthroughs. And then this video right here took up a huge amount of my time. But now that all that’s behind me, as well as a few other videos I wanted to knock out, my plan is to focus in hard on the Saga and Finer Points. If all goes according to plan Pain-Josh will be filming his Valkyrie play this week!

@@GetUpandGame sounds excellent. I can’t wait

Thank you so much!! I’ve been thinking about it and I think Black Panther makes a great substitute for Rocket in this matchup. His Vibranium cards will be very helpful in removing the Experimental Weapons from Crossbones, it’s still a weapon vs weapon theme, and Panther plays very well in Justice and should be able to manage the low threat threshold main schemes 👍 I hope that’s fun for you and feel free to ask about any others! I really enjoy coming up with these lol

Oh thank you so much!! And thank you for joining along! ☺️

@@GetUpandGame I’m about 40 minutes into the video and I’m so impressed by how much thought you put into these match ups. They all look so fun!

@@Aoshi312 haha yeah I’ve kind of been obsessing about this for a little while now lol. And I played as many of them as I had time for so that helped too!

@@GetUpandGame as someone who’s been playing the game since the beginning, some I was like: woah that’s perfect! Others I was like huh? And then you explained it and I was like woah that’s perfect!

Right?? Has to be intentional lol. He also came with a great precon (a ton of reprints to be sure, but the deck works very well). It’s like they knew people might not be drawn to him so they did everything they could to boost him up Thanks Chris! 😊

Oh that’s so great to hear! I’m always happy to know that I’ve been helpful lol so I appreciate you sharing! I don’t have a deck list for every one of these, but thankfully someone else in the community took the time to play through every one of these matchups and recorded the deck they used to beat them 🤯. You can find a list in this thread he posted on BoardGameGeek boardgamegeek.com/thread/3102511/page/1 I hope you have fun with the matchups! 😀 And thank you very much for the kind words, they are appreciated! ☺️

Well this just might be my favorite comment I’ve ever gotten! That’s so amazing to hear I was able to help you find the fun in this my favorite game! Yeah it’s definitely a different beast from Arkham. They’re going for a more arcade style approach with this one and I can see how that might not be as much to everyone’s tastes. Glad this gave you the spark of continuity you were looking for! And I’m happy to report the second round of matchups including the newest wave is on the way!

⁠@@GetUpandGameWow, thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I’ll be really looking forward to that new video of yours. I just picked Uncanny Avengers back up from hearing about the Fall of X storyline in the comics, and so I started wanting to purchase the newer heroes in Champions like Psylocke, who’s in that team, but not yet in this match-up list. And here you are with the news! Best day of 2024 so far!

@@voltarbear for sure! I really appreciate the comments so I always reply to every one ☺️ I don’t actively follow comics these days but I’ve seen a little of the stuff from Fall of X and it just looks nuts lol

It is! Also I am a solo Champions player as well, and I enjoy two-handing sometimes. Is that something you’d consider making a video of?

@@voltarbear I’ve done a couple two handed playthrough videos, but it’s not something I do very often. But every now and then I get an idea for a deck that just won’t work in solo so I’ll put in the extra work in those cases lol. I’m sure I’ll do a few more here and there!

Lol yep. That’s my plan for when I get to that campaign in the multiverse saga. I feel like he gives Bro Josh his best chance of getting through it

@@GetUpandGame Bro Josh, lol. I hear that guy has mad skillz.

@@mattr.9825 here’s hoping 😅

Hello! Yeah Isaiah is doing a great job of loading decks up for the matchups! I don’t think he’s to this one yet though so here’s something I just put together that would be my first pass at a deck for it: marvelcdb.com/deck/view/503854?deck_name=Wolverine Pretty straightforward, the main thing is hopefully you can flip down at least once in a deck pass (Professor x should help with that) and use the Cabin and/or Mutant Education to get the Lunging Strikes back in the deck. You might lose the main scheme at least once, but I would use Wolvie’s basic activation to thwart more often than not. Use Allies to block whenever possible. Should be fun!

Thanks! Glad to hear it’s been fun for you! Yes I’d be happy to come up with some alternatives for you. Let me think about it and I’ll get back to you! 😀

Ok how about these: Valkyrie: Tower Defense. Lots of minions for her to beat up on. She doesn’t have to worry about losing to threat. Plus it’s on the easy side and she needs easy for solo aggression. Spectrum: this was the hardest one for me to come up with the first time around. Spectrum just doesn’t have any kind of hook. So I latched on to theme for her matchup with the Sentinels and made it an aerial battle. But I’ll solve one problem with another and say that I think she would be really fun against Mutagen. Gobby throws a little bit of everything against you and she’s good at everything. Plus the original Cyke Vs Goblin fight was meant to be army vs army, and Spectrum also wants to build a good army in blue so it should play out fairly similarly. Gambit: for Spiral’s replacement you could always try what Spiral herself is meant to replace: Risky Business. The whole idea for this matchup revolves around the idea that Gambit can store up damage to unleash at the right time, and Spiral hides the same way Norman does. So Gambit can build his board state while Norman is in meetings, but when Gobby comes out to play you can blast him with Charge Counters Quicksilver would make an excellent stand-in for the Klaw battle in place of Kitty. Klaw is always trying to exhaust you with boost and encounter card effects, and he also like to stun you when he hits you. None of that should really bother Pietro too much, especially in Protection Sp//dr: I could have spiral replaced again by Risky Business as I sicced SP//DR on her for the same reason as Gambit: the ability to quickly do massive burst damage. However no one should have to play Risky 3 times so instead I think Collector 2 (Escape the Museum) could be a really good matchup for Peni. She’s a monster thwarter in Justice, and she gets access to so many readies that his many stuns and confuses shouldn’t slow her down much. She can also use Unshakeable to help in that department as well Vision: I think Hela should provide a similar experience to what I had in mind for Vision. You can hang out in Intangible and laugh in Garm’s face while you get Vivian and the house up and running. And with Hela’s high threat threshold you should be able to get back to alter ego whenever necessary to get Viv back Hope those are fun!

@@GetUpandGame Wow, thank you so much! Sounds like very good (if not perfect) replacements indeed! 😁

@@erikalnemo4066 no problem! Haha now I wanna try some of them myself!

Oh very cool! I hope they are very fun for you! I hope you’ll let me know how it’s going from time to time ☺️

@@GetUpandGame Round one over, had a lot of fun, ended up facing drang in standard, expert and standard 2 in one go, and i ended up barely flipping to hero on wasp in her game

@@MarkBrook2 that’s awesome! Haha yeah I knew that Drang matchup might lead to needing to jack up the difficulty lol. Some of these matchups favor the heroes even more than others and Venom is so strong 💪🏽 So glad you’re enjoying it! 😄

Finished round 2, had to face Hela twice, she got me good first time, the big suprise for me was i beat master mold first time, mean swing and fusillade came in so helpful, i think i finally understand how valkeryie is supposed to work

@@MarkBrook2 nice! A good game with Valkyrie is a VERY good game lol

Thanks! I would like to revisit and update this in the future for sure, but I can’t say for sure when it’ll be🙂

Hey thanks! Haha I’m sorry to hear you don’t enjoy the game but I hope this helps some! 😀

@@GetUpandGame so far it has helped... had fun in the first match-up.. dew up will be War Machine vs Ultron... that should be interesting

Hey you won’t get much argument from me! I think Rocket has a great build in every aspect, I just happen to prefer Justice both for solo in general and this matchup in particular. But protection is definitely great for him!

It would’ve looked something like this! marvelcdb.com/deck/view/520386?deck_name=Ghost-Spider Classic perfect protection strategy, trying to weather all of his big attacks. Then getting bonuses for avoiding damage. Night nurse to counter the constant infinity stone status effects. Cheap allies to help with extra attacks. Hopefully this works for you!

@@GetUpandGame man! Knowing how much you have on your plate and yet you take the time to share a deck!!?! You are the man! Thanks Josh! I hope you and the fam have a good vacation. Take it easy, bud!

@@psovitzky No problem! If only videos were so quick to throw together 😆 Yeah we leave on Sunday for Gatlinburg! Super excited!

Ugh. I give up. I don’t know if I will play Thanos true solo. It just isn’t fun. The only times I ever win are in leadership and ally spam decks. I tried your deck like 3 times. Could never keep up with him. I would LOVE to see a playthrough and see what I am doing wrong. Thanks again for the deck to try!

@@psovitzky yeah he’s not one of my favorites. Sorry to hear it’s giving you so much trouble! I’m starting to think I just got really lucky in my game against him lol. I’ll try to make a video for it when I get a chance!

Hey there!! Yes it’s definitely a priority to update this when I get a chance, but unfortunately I can’t really say for sure when that’ll be. But I’ll get to it as quickly as I’m able! 😀

Thanks bro The new 5 villans (lets admit it we have more due to maruders) means we can exact those match ups even more We can do 7 differnt on the run with more 7 heroes!! Thats crazy cant wait to see those

@@mabos555 hey that’s a really good point! Maybe we won’t need so many duplicates next time around 🤔. Well, technically On The Run would still be a duplicate I suppose but you know what I mean lol

​@@GetUpandGameyeah that's why I wait for your update Same scenario different main villain for me it is still OK Imagine the battle between greycrow who just hates upgrades and a hero who love it a tons like rocket for example Or maybe even full nemesis battle between harpoon and Angel (especially when the nemesis comes out all the shit against him comes as well)

Yep! marvelcdb.com/user/profile/9477/JWalton77+

I think that link will work. If not it’s JWalton77

This is amazing! For the last 2-3 years, I tended to just play 2-3 quick games with each Champion in their pre-Con as I tried to keep up with new releases. Or one might get picked to play through a campaign box. Self-isolating with Covid this past week, I got to spend a bit more time with the X-Men (my favourite team) and your channel. Both have helped me rediscover the joys of a constructed deck. All this is to say, Thank you for putting so the time and effort into these videos. I’m going to print out this list and enjoy experiencing the heroes and encounter sets in a whole new way.

@@rorydoconnor I’m very sorry to hear you’ve got Covid 😞. But I am happy to know my stuff has got you more interested in the game at least! I’m loving the X-men myself! I played the colossus matchup and the cyclops matchup today and they were so great. So excited to see which ones we get next! Thank you for the kind words and I hope you feel better soon!

Yeah I know that one sounds weird lol, but I’ve really enjoyed it. Sometimes the matchups heavily favor the hero, and sometimes it’s more about giving the villain a chance to show off what they like to do. And both whenever possible. For this one it’s good for Wasp in that she has the opportunity to go back and forth to alter ego without losing the scheme since it goes so high. Plus since I have her in Leadership she should easily be able to obtain the free allies and be able to interact with them in interesting ways. And it’s good for Tasky because he gets to do his flipping damage more often, making him more of a challenge than he usually is. Especially when facing leadership which takes such great advantage of his free allies. That’s what I was thinking anyways! 😊

@@GetUpandGame I guess you did say perfect matchup, not easiest matchup… otherwise everyone’s easiest matchup would be Absorbing Man/Wrecking crew type villain.

@@TheVlad1616 haha yeah that’s true. And realistically there are a lot of different ways you could go really. Like Nova or Rocket could be perfect for Ultron, but I needed somewhere for War Machine and nothing else was really jumping out at me for him.

That is a really great question that I don’t know the answer to lol. But I should be able to find out and I’ll get back to you!

I didn’t forget about you,I could’ve sworn the previous owners had some paint cans in the shed or basement but I haven’t been able to find them. So I can’t confirm if it is antique green, but looking at images online it sure is close!

@@GetUpandGame That’s awesome thanks for looking! I’m back painting (yet again) all weekend. 🥹

Lol when you’re talking about 43 matchups you gotta come up with some fun intros/segue’s 🤣
