Hero Review: Magik - Marvel Champions' New BEST Mystic? 

Don't forget Enraged for Cosmo! I struggled for a while to make Hulk work with Magik, but I hard a hard time squeezing in enough physical resources for him. It feels like a competition between Magik wanting wild resources on top for her kit, and Hulk wanting physical resources. You can usually manipulate one or the other to the top, but difficult to get both on the same turn. I started enjoying Magik a lot more once I took Hulk out, and swapped some physical card for wild cards, then focused more on Cosmo. With Enraged, Energy Spear, Sidearm, and Boot Camp, he can attack for 7 every turn indefinitely. Add in a Laser Blaster and Command Team that you can gain during the age of apocalypse campaign, and that gets even more absurd.

I've been running a fluid motion Magik deck. She can play a ton of cheap events very easily and then use stepping disk to get extra readies. I thought I would like bishop more, but Magik has revitalized a lot of my underutilized cards. Keep it up with the high quality content, dude.

I love the "Morph Smash!" reference.

I really enjoy Magik, to me she’s a blend of scarlet witch and domino in the way she works which I really like. She seems like she should be so overpowered with essentially starting with a 6 card hand size and the super strong mystic cards but yet she feels very fun to pilot and games with never feel as though it doesn’t matter what I do and I’ll come out on top such as with a doctor strange or spider ham. I definitely enjoy bishop more but Magik is one I’ll come back to frequently!! Great video as always Villain

I've only played a couple of games with Magik, just because I got so enamored with Bishop. I thought he would be kinda boring, but blasting stuff with tons of damage while tanking pretty much anything the villain can throw at you turns out to be highly enjoyable. Whoda thunk it?

Not yet taken the hit to my wallet for AoA yet, so can’t really comment. There look like there are so many good cards that I would be tempted to exceed the min 40 card deck…. Especially if you fly through the deck as quickly as it sounds you might. Great review and looking forward to the next.

I’ve found magik to be a lot of work in multiplayer for a very limited reward, she really rewards great deck construction which is probably why our mystic player is struggling with her 😂

Hulk is insane with Magik, it was the first card i added to the first Deck I made for her and i was not disappointed. She's a really fun hero, definitely Domino-esque style but in a way that I enjoy significantly more. Very strong, but works in such a way to make you feel like you always earn it yourself and it's not free.

Tangential question, what are your thoughts on Basic Spell? Have you found the flexibility worth the lowered efficiency? My guess from this review is don't play it that much with Magik based on how many other cards you want to play with her.

I think Rock, Paper, Scissors is amazing since basic cards are so good with x-men and is worth a mention.

I think she's pretty good, but I enjoy playing Scarlet Witch more just she's easier to pilot. I think Magik is my 2nd favorite Mystic behind SW. Scarlet Witch also just feels more powerful than Magik, but that may be because I still kind of suck playing Magik consistently.

I knew that mystery card had to be hulk. He's an even better sidekick to Magik than Cosmo. My favorite aspect for her is aggression mainly because of him
