Marvel Champions THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA vs ULTRON Play Through 

Thanks!! Looks like new stuff finally hits the US sometime in June. Looking forward to more heroes! :)

@Erick Main Glad the video was able to help! Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks!! Good to know the video is worthy of popcorn!! :)

Thanks for watching. I figured Ultron would be the best villain to showcase Thor. :)

You're right! He brought some Thunder too!! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Awesome! Thank you very much!😀👌

@Dav1ekc Thanks! Good luck with Ultron, he's a tough one! I might try doing "why I built the deck this way" at the end of playthroughs in a "deck construction" session. Thanks again!

Thanks! You are correct, Thor and Cap were made for taking care of Ultron! :)

@SirReasoner Thor is at his best against Ultron due to his abilities and cards, and how Ultron works. Glad you stopped by, and hope your games are going well!! :)

Dale the Casual Gamer been learning widow and strange and loving it

It still works. Just can’t exhaust it again if I had another shield block. Good luck!

That scheme has each character choose to place 2 threat or gain a drone. Terrible choices. :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer oh yes, thank you!

@Farrell Seymore Caps ability on his hero side is to discard a card to ready (once per turn). Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Dale. This helps a lot. I have learned much from your plays.

Totally agree. True solo I almost always go justice unless I think I can beat the villain quick. Two players, justice and aggression, although some hero’s do well with protection (thinking Spider-Man, cap and black panther if paired with a good hero). Mainly, for me, protection and leadership are for 3-4 hero games. Thanks for watching!!

@@DaletheCasualGamer Iron Man is also exceptional (and solo-playable) with Protection, thanks to the Energy Barriers counting as tech upgrades.

@Matthew Virkler Thanks! I'll have to give that a try! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Of course it's still possible to draw dry (no tech upgrades) in your first hand (even with a hard mulligan), but in general I've found his ramp-up accelerated enough by Energy Barriers to be make solo Iron Man a lot of fun. And once he's got his Arc Reactor up and running, that tends to be plenty thwart so you don't end up missing your Justice cards. Hope you find it fun if you try it.

@Christian Bonet Encounter cards are always bad times ... but I'd rather have a better chance at setting up for a good first turn. I don't think the extra turn you'd get without the extra encounter card would really make a difference in most "Standard" games. Expert might me another thing depending on the villain and how things are going. Good luck, and thanks for watching! :)

The demand for most of the MC packs has been massive. Pre-ordering is important.

Like Matt mentioned, FFG hasn’t been making many for stock in stores, these packs are selling out before they get to stores. I’ve been preordering online as soon as they get listed. Good luck!!

@@DaletheCasualGamer They have actually printed loads, and have already printed the entire cycle, it's just the first drop for each pack is small,,, like insanely small... but the follow-up drop is much larger, but still sells super-fast due to the demand created by the fast sell-out of the first drop. FOMO is real lol As predicted, Ms Marvel is selling badly, but, surprisingly, the second drop for Wrecking Crew is selling very slowly, which is odd given how few villains we have in comparison to the volume of heroes.Not including the end of cycle story pack, we are only looking at 5 villains (I'm counting the Wrecking Crew as a single foe for obvious reasons), but there are 11 heroes this cycle. Yes, there are a ton of permutations given difficulty cards and modular villain packs, but still, that's a bit of a wonky ratio. Hopefully the story pack will have a ton of content.

interesting ... thank you, both, for sharing!

I’ve been using Fantasy Flight games sleeves for about a decade. Good luck!

@Mak Koh Sometimes I take out certain cards with certain resource types when playing the Hulk to hopefully minimize the chances of him being discarded. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! :)

They go to the side and only come in if a card effect brings them in ... and you don’t want that. ;)

Uberstax are handy for lots of games!! I’ve purchased quite a few packs. :)

I wish that a DC version of this game existed, I would literally invest thousands of dollars.

We aren't getting a Hero version of Hawkeye... at least not in this cycle. The cycle ends with the story pack in July, and then a new cycle begins, which wont be more Avengers. There MAY be a second Avengers cycle down the line, however.

So are you going solo with each Avenger against Ultron!!?? I wouldn’t expect a high success rate. I think I did win with Captain Marvel, Captain America and Spider-Man may stand a chance too. Good luck!!

I’d be all in on a DC version of this game too!! :)

@@PersonalMint I mean they have barely scratched the surface of Marvel so far and even once they get a bit out they could practically reboot with X-Men which would be awesome. From what I've heard Marvel doesn't really like their product crossing with DC so if they did do DC it would have to be a different non compatible system but who knows.

@TheBeardedMike I use Fantasy Flight Games sleeves and have been pleased with them. :)

Thanks for watching! I use Fantasy Flight Games sleeves. :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer ty!

@Walt Gottlieb Good point! Thor needs to learn it's okay to ask for help. ;)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Whoops - I said Hulk instead of Thor! Fixed. (Oh no! If I edit a comment, it removes your like from it lol)

@@waltercardcollector lol And I guess that's a good RU-vid feature. :)

@Michael Benson Welcome to Marvel Champions!! Yes, you can attack other players minions, and you can also defend for other players. Team work is key. Thanks for stopping by, and best of luck in your next games! :)

@kamb26 During setup the alter-ego side should be face-up, so that ability should not be an issue. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)

@Richard Sutterfield I was using Fantasy Flight Sleeves, but now use Dragon Shield clear matte. Hope that helps! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Thank you it does! Have you sleeved every card you own or do you just switch out cards? I can only imagine the cost associated with doing them all.

@@flipsutter1 I've sleeved them all except duplicate sets from new hero packs. :)

@Andrea Polidoro Thanks for watching! The stunned condition goes away once a character makes it's next attack. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer thanks for your reply! Yeah I know how stun works but if you watch your video around 12:00, Ultron skips only the 1st attack to Captain America and then attacks only Thor while he should skip both the attacks because the stun condition makes you to skip your entirely attack phase and not only the 1st attack in this phase. I don't remember where I read it...

@@polidoroandrea That was played correctly. Stun does not last for an entire phase, just the next attack. From the rules, if a stunned villain or minion would attack, discard the stunned status card. It does not prevent further attacks during that phase. If you find out where you read that, let me know. FFG developers play it the same way. Thanks! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer I asked to my MCLcg community and you are right! Thank you for your reply! Btw +1 sub 🙂👍🏻

@@polidoroandrea No problem, this game has tons of rules and timings things that come up, I get some right and others, well, I'm always learning. :) Thanks for watching and the sub!

You can generate resources both by discarding a card from your hand, or by using card abilities that generate resources. Hope that helps! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Didn't notice the card's ability

Oh with Thor obligation you SHOULD have flipped to get Hammer back to attack.

Since both times they came up I was already exhausted in hero mode, and damaged quite a bit, I stayed in that form to use other attack cards on my next turn and then flip to the safety of alter-ego form. And at the end, I forgot I didn’t have the Hammer. lol

Couldn’t tell based on how you were discussing it but you can still flip back to alter-ego when you’re exhausted in hero mode. You then have no choice still but to resolve the second option on the obligation. Nice playthrough!

Per the rules, you can not have the same unique character in play. But for your games, you can do what you want. :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer I'm not talking ab out "character" but about "character cards". So, why would they have said that Captain America's Shield is restricted to 2 by player ?

@@maximem.ste-marie3578 Restricted is a keyword that means you can only have 2 restricted cards in play for each character. Hope that helps. :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer yes, I know. So.. if I buy a Captain America hero pack, I get only one shield. If I want another one, I have to buy another pack. It's why I wonder if I can have more than one specific character cards in a deck. It makes sense ruleswise, since I didnt' see any rule about this.. but it doesn't make sens "flavorwise"

taking back something I said : deck constructing rules says that you have to have the exact quantity of specific characters card. Thing is : it's not said, except on Captain's Shield. This is really confusing
