What changes I expect/would make for every character

  With the big character update in June that will change 85% of the characters according to multiple interviews with AMG (mostly but not exclusively in person of Will Shick). That's also the reason that the Affiliation Overviews are still waiting for their updates as well.  In the meantime I think it is fun to go over every character in the game and talk about my expected changes. I have no inside knowledge so this is going to be speculation with some snippets of stuff AMG has told us about in the interviews.  It's probably a good idea to have the  Characters list  open to see what some of the changes are.  Strap in, this will be a long one:  Characters (230) Abomination (5) No changes. He's perfect the way he is.  Adam Warlock (7) No changes. It's pretty clear that his entire pack was designed with the new Stamina baseline in mind.  Agent Venom (4) 7/6 Stamina. It's going to be interesting if he is actually touched as he was already in last ...

Hot Takes: new Sentinels TTCs

  Quickly after the cards were floating through the Discords AMG has given us the Panel to Play for the new Sentinels pack. We've already discussed the new characters in the Adepticon Reaction post.  Today we take a look at all the new TTCs that come in the pack:  Sadly it sounded a bit cooler when Shick told us about the card. It's very good and healthy for the game that the conditions are hard to meet but this has so many factors working against it that its hard to see it ever actually being achieved even in casual games...  Let's go through them one by one:  - Reaching the Clean Up phase of round 6.  Even if we ignore the current Challenger Rotation you'll need a very lucky Crisis draw to allow for a game that even reaches the clean up phase of round 6 before someone scores out - the timing of the card and the Clean Up Phase  Not only can no one score out in rounds 1 through 5 but also not in round 6 so the most your opponent can have gained includi...

Owning the full collection*

  Something that I haven't planned at all when I first got into MCP in August of 2022 was at some point in time owning the entire collection.  With the recent purchase of the Avalanche, Exodus and Lady Mastermind character pack that in fact has become the reality for me. Now there is an asterisk on the title for a reason and that is that 12 of the current 230 characters in the range I only own as 3D prints. That is mostly down to availability and also somewhat because these are mostly characters I don't care about all that much.  The twelve suspects are:  Characters (12) Logan, the Wolverine (4) The Weapon X Rivals Panel is just way too expensive.  Nick Fury & The Howling Commandos (3) Hard to find and overly expensive for a single 3 threat I barely use.  Proxima Midnight (3) Hard to find.  Red Guardian (3) Impossible to find (but hopefully comes back into the Winter Guard Affiliation Pack later this year or early next year).  * Thanos, The Ma...

My "Spin The Wheel" season Strucker Hydra list

  For our 10th anniversary season of the German speaking TTS league I decided to do something special and take inspiration from an idea of the Cables Conquests Podcast.  Every player would get a random leadership and affiliation assigned and we only included leaders that are either considered bad or aren't played a lot. We ended up with 18 players (the biggest league yet! 🙂) and these were the 29 options:  Hulkbuster Avengers  Corvus Glaive Black Order  Sin Cabal Klaw Criminal Syndicate  Daredevil Defenders  Baron Helmut Zemo Hydra  Maximus the Mad Inhumans  Steve Rogers Invaders (SHIELD) Doc Ock Spider-Foes  Killmonger Usurper Wakanda  Weapon X  Crimson Dynamo Winter Guard  Thanos Black Order  Magneto Brotherhood  Magik New Mutants  Invincible Iron Man SHIELD  Amazing Spider-Man Web Warriors  Cable X-Force  Thor, Prince of Asgard Asgard  Mystique Brotherhood  Red Skull 1 Cabal...
