Marvel Champions: How to Pair the Aspects In Multiplayer! 

Noted! I plan to do one video already, probably after the next one in this series, about matching heroes up at a broad level. But I could easily dedicate a video to certain pairings - that would be really fun. Wish I had infinite time to make videos. So many cool ideas. Will see if I can find the time!

I think it's fun! I wonder if a video on thematic or interesting team-ups would be interesting?

@@VillainTheory Please!

Awesome! Thank you!

MatPat announces his retirement from Game Theory right when I start making videos again. Coincidence? Am I in fact MatPat? Has anyone ever seen us in the same room together...? _But that's just a theory...a RU-vidR THEORY. Thanks for watching!_

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks! I enjoyed making it 😁

A & J is probably my favourite combo too. The only "problem" is that I want to be the one playing Aggression all the time in that combo

I was a little conflicted on Justice + Protection. We actually play that fairly often here, but it will generally be on high damage heroes to account for that because otherwise the games can drag on. And some of the nastier villains will, if you give them enough time, pull some random doom combo thanks to Surge... Drax and Groot in Protection sounds super fun. 100% agreed, readying a lot in Protection on a high ATK character is really just Green Aggression. And sooo fun. I've been playing a lot of that style of deck with X-23 lately.

Glad you enjoyed!

I think it's fun! It adds a different dynamic to the game.

Nice! I hope the next video can live up to the hype! Cool videos too! I skimmed through a couple and love Red Hulk especially. Don't have the time to watch them fully right now (busy week!) but I'll try and return to them some time

Agreed, it does have some decent thwarting these days, mainly since Sinister Motives onwards though Hard to Ignore is sooo good. I guess my big problem with it is it's still a tricky when a side scheme comes out with 6-7 threat. It can't respond to that quite like Justice or Leadership typically can.

Haha! I feel like we need more memes in general

Good luck! Great team! Don't forget their team-up card, it does a lot of work. If you can keep Groot topped up on counters you should get results!

Oh, great question! That could be a fantastic video in itself. But let's see - I think Red Skull, Collector II Escape the Museum, Mysterio, all the Mojo Mania villains and Stryfe are elevated in multiplayer. They have things interacting at different levels in different ways with different people.

@@VillainTheory Been thinking it’s time I give Mysterious another go as well. Spiral and Magog are two of my favourite villains. Thank you for the tips!

That's a really fun way to do it!

Justice and Protection can be okay, I prefer it to Aggression and Protection, but it's still a slightly flawed pairing you have to work harder to make work. If you do want to try it, X-23 Protection with cards like Leading Blow, What Doesn't Kill You and/or Repurpose goes really well with most Justice decks, so that would be my suggestion - it's basically Green Aggression and one of my favourite decks to play right now!

@@VillainTheory Yes, probably my decks were sub optimal. Thank you so much for the tips! X-23 is a very pleaceful surprise as hero.

That's awesome, happy to hear it! I think those decks will do fairly well against Juggernaut but Juggernaut is one of those villains that, if unprepared, will destroy you out of nowhere... Good luck!

While I agree that role-based is better, I skewed the video toward aspects as I think it's much easier for a broader audience to understand. However, when it comes to Justice and threat removal, I don't think anything competes with it. Largely in general, but specifically with those few cards which duplicate threat removal or scale in efficiency at player count! It's just too good. Taking Quicksilver for example, I don't think Protection has anything that comes close to him running Heroic Intuition, Making and Entrance, and Overwatch. Repurpose is probably closest and it can do a ton of bursty thwarting, but isn't reliable turn-to-turn. And if we're talking 3-4 player, Even the Odds just doesn't have any competition - especially in the modern era with player side schemes, no matter who is running it for the most part. Vision Aggression without it is going to pale significantly to a Vision Justice with it. And modern Vision decks with Heroic Intuition + Surveillance Specialist (from Specialized Training) absolutely loves Reboot and Justice Served, Aggression also can't compete with that build at all in my opinion.

@@VillainTheory I agree with your points...to an extent. At standard 1 sure. but at stand 2 + expert or higher there is so much disruption that highly specialized builds can get shutdown very easily leaving a team very vulnerable. In my experience honestly, the entire board needs to output decent Thw & Dmg consistently because if your role specialist gets shutdown by surge flooding then the team doesn't suffer as much. But thats more advanced team building than the target of this video. I just tend to build decks that accommodate the highest tier difficulty I can manage even if i will end up playing at a lower difficulty.

Haha, I guess it does!

Basically agreed on all counts! Protection is a strange one for me. I absolutely love readying Protection in all its forms but I'm not keen on traditional exhaust to defend decks aside from a few heroes with special synergy like Ghost-Spider.

@@VillainTheory I thought I quite like the defending decks but on review the ones I like either have gimmicks like Gwen or Shadowcat or have readies like X23 Quicksilver and Venom (who has Multigun which is ~a ready was well as Run n Gun). I did play Groot perfect defence but I found it really dull! So I guess I am not keen on them either! edit: I didn't like Gwen much either now I think - I found her far more entertaining it aggression.

@@jonathanpickles2946 Yeah! Quicksilver was the first hero I truly liked Protection on.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it in mind. I don't recall my exact thoughts when recording this but I do often worry if I don't go fast people will click away - or the video lengths will get too crazy.
