Marvel Champions Buyers Guide - 2024 Edition! (For New Players!) 

Have everything, and still watched cause of VT

You immediately went into the content when the video started. I love this. You got yourself a subscriber!

Great work as always. This is a great guide.

Great content as always. I have full collection already but still interesting to watch to get ideas on what to play out of my top heroes/villains.

WOW. Love your channel! I'm a new MC player. Came to this channel after looking at your insane video of ranking aspects for each hero. Randomly searched if there is someone crazy enough to do it. Wish I saw this a year ago. Subscribed

You create very high quality content and presentation, great job man.

Got everything!! I recommend some hero packs u buy 2 of. I hate having to search for that one card when they only give u 1.

Great guide!

I'm new and i didn't know what to buy after the core set. I used your guide to buy Red skull, Cap, Wasp, Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch, SP//dr and Next Evolution as the heros there seems fun to play. Thanks a lot !

How dare you place Valkyrie in the word of Caution I'm definitely Telling D20 on you haha, don't you know she's the GOAT?! just kidding! Great Video all around :)

Nice Guide man

Awesome video as always! As someone who started playing only about 2 years ago a couple of observations: 1. Captain America was the hero where the game really clicked for me. Something around the design of his shield and how this combines theming with satisfying interactions. And he’s so well rounded with a bit of everything. So worth buying very early for the hero alone, let alone the cards he adds into your card pool. 2. I was surprised that Next Evolution was so high, mainly for the reasons you suggest - the heroes are much more difficult to navigate. I hear what you’re saying about the player side schemes but I think it’s fun to discover side schemes a little later in the journey. Although I maybe underestimating the value this would’ve provided me early in my journey. 3. This is probably a terrible suggestion but I centred my route to investment primarily through tribal synergies. My first box - rightly or wrongly - after the core was Sinister Motives. I love the Spiderverse so went in on that then focused investing on Web Warrior heroes, enabling me to build a strong set of cards in one area. And as I got to learn the wider card pool, I bought specific hero packs that had the cards I need to round out the decks I wanted to build. And once I was satisfied with that, I focused on another tribal aspect (in my case Guardians 🤪). Not sure if that helped or hindered my progression but maybe tribal archetypes is a potential alternative to aspect archetypes depending on how you like to deck build. 4. Oh and my last tip for newbies… subscribe to Villain Theory because his Marvel Champions content is top notch! Anyway, just thought I’d chuck in my two pence. PS - any news on when that mega hero guide is dropping that you said you were working on? Been keeping my eye out for it ever since you mentioned it a week or so ago! 😁

Working toward getting everything, but will definitely recommend this guide for newer players

When you said "Welcome to the Avengers...." I just thought, "Or the Champions, or the Gotg, or the Web-Warriors, or the X-men, or the X-Force" 😄 (Yes, I am that much of a nerd XD) In all seriousness, I think after I get a few more heroes, I'm gonna hard focus getting the campaign boxes. Even if GMW is too hard for example, I still get Groot and Rocket, as well as the deckbuilding cards. So it seems like a good deal to me.

Great guide, especially since I started getting into this game while not trying to break the bank.

Subscribed - I have everything already but wanted to support the creator of my built decks lol

Awesome video ! Wish I found it before spending my money 😢

Just found out about this game after visiting Barnes and Noble! What a great video! I’m still a bit on the fence on this game and need to watch some gameplay. I already subscribed, so I’ll see if there are any on your channel. Also, is Deadpool good for beginners and/or solo play? He’s a big reason I wanna play this game haha

This is an amazing open opening video.. I bought the core box and Red Skull per your suggestion. Going to get it to the table this weekend. Do you have a how to play video I could watch? Thank you!

I think a Con for NeXt evolution are the aspect cards, the Domino justice stuff only works for her right now, with the whole discard from the top synergy (yes, there's sharpshooter, but it's veeery niche, unlike the Shield stuff in Sinister Motives which was an archetype on its own and could fit into any hero) and Cable's stuff is too X force dependent.

I cant stress enough just how good the rise of red skull box is. I got it as my last box simply because everyone bad mouthed hawkeye and spiderwoman didn't really appeal to me. People also kept saying the villians were bland and boring. But after picking it up it is by far my favorite addition to the game. While all the villains except red skull are very basic they play amazingly well and are by far my favorites. Complexity does not equal quality. As for the heroes spiderwoman still isnt read for me but hawk eye is a suprise hit. While he is kinda weak he is incredibly versatile and thematic. Having simple villains and heroes really make the game flow so much better.

@VillainTheory, I have everything from Core to Phoenix, then I fell off the hobby for various reasons. X-23 onwards are still not available in my location, so between Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke and Angel, who would you recommend in terms of power for solo play AND good X-Men specific cards? Assume I like all of them equally character-wise.

I can't wait until they come out with Fantastic Four!

Too late!!, I've already bought everything 😅😅

11:30 even the odds is reprinted in Psylocke :)

Great guide. Unfortunately, it came out too late. I'm far too deep in this hole already 😂

I only have the Core box, and I want to buy an expansion box. I'm between Sinister Motives because I'm a fan of Spiders and their villains OR Rise of red skull because they say it's worth it, even though I don't like any villain or hero. What would be best for those starting the collection? If I buy Sinister Motives could I have a lot of problems? Do I lose a lot compared to Red Skull?

Is it worth investing if I only purchase X-men relevant campaign and hero packs aside from core game?

How could such a card game stay hidden from me for so long ? I was a passionate yugioh duelist, long time HS player, Legends of Runeterra and even dabbled in MTG Arena. I need this...but also try not to buy everything at once. Are there any complete bundles with a discount? Thanks for the buying advice and overview !

so...which is a more fun campaign between these two? Sinister Motives or Mutant Genesis?

What are the two archetypes for Nova?

Next video will be Nelson rebutting with his own order of purchase, the result of which will be most of us agree with VT anyway. :P

Except now Captain America and Dr Strange are impossible to find now affordably. :/

GMW is super unfortunate. I agree with recommending it last but there are some super key cards in there that haven't been reprinted >

17:40 I hear Valkyrie is S tier. Why would it be risky?

I notice you didn't mention Black Widow at all. Is she that bad?

It appears that Dr. Strange is no longer in print. :(

I skipped the entire cycle 5 because I very much dislike all the heroes in it and I absolutely HATE how much FFG filled those packs to the brim with very important cards for deckbuilding.

My girlfriend got me Marvel Champions for my birthday and later bought me the galaxys most wanted for christmas. We abandoned that campaign for now because we cant get past the collector 😂

Remember if you don’t have the money, you can proxy card. Don’t be ashamed

Should you watch this if you own everything.😂

If you’re talking about verity why not mention The Hood?
