The August Update Part 2

  Here are my takes on part 2 of the character updates:  Gorgon :  injured side art update only  Green Goblin :  8/6 for Norman now. He's now much harder to flip but sometimes that is exactly what you want for him. Likely still mostly only interessting as a leader but maybe decent under Shadowland Daredevil as well.  Groot : Art update only.  Gwenom :  Hard to put down at 7/8. She's always been good but struggles to find a home. That likely won't change with the update but you don't have to feel bad at all for putting her in your squad if you're so inclined.  B+ Gwenpool :  Miss Pool has gained injured side Stamina and can now drop an objecitive to use her teleport. A small but helpful buff.  B Hawkeye :  Art Update only  Heimdall, the All-Seeing :  Art Update only Hela, Queen of Hel : Hela goes to 7/5. it means she doesn't die as easy on her injured side anymore.  C+ Honey Badger :  The spender gained a die...

The August Update part 1

  I don't think we'll need an intro for these 😅 here are my takes on part 1 of the character updates:  Abomination :  injured side art update only  Adam Warlock :  Injured side art update only  Agent Venom :  Already a favorite character to play of mine the increase to above average 7/7 makes him an excellent piece in all of his (many) affiliated homes.  A  Amazing Spider-Man :  ASM has already been very hard to take off the board and 7/7 makes him nigh invincible. His problem has always been list lackluster damage output and he's got no news there.  B  Ancient One :  7/6 might make her more interesting now but she struggles with competition in the 4 threat slot where Defenders have a giant pool of options. She could have a comeback in Convocation maybe.  B- Angel :  Angel already had the markings of a great objective runner and with respectable 6/6 now he is far better at fulfilling that role.  B+ Angela :...

July 26 Affiliation Stats

  Welcome to the July stats article. Unexpectedly this wasn't the first month after the big update but (hopefully) now finally the last one without it...  As always we go over All Events AE first and Rated Singles Events RSE second.  You can find June's stats here .  Inhumans reign supreme in AE and Queen Medusa adds another surprise in winning over 3/4s of her games in June.  Hydra often has some good months sprinkled across the year and July has seen them as successful as they've basically ever been winning them second overall.  While Namor continues to be a problem Nick Fury and Invincible Iron Man also more than delivered in their very few games for SHIELD.  In Wakanda King T has taken the crown as main leader and as usual he's also the most successful. I too currently play a pure King T leadership Wakanda list and it's certainly a lot of fun.  Wait what? Winter Guard in the top 5??? They patiently await their re release pack but seem to be ge...

June 26 Affiliation Stats

  Welcome to the June 26 Affiliation Stats article. See here for last month.   As always we start with All Events AE and further down we have Rated Singles Events RSE.  It's the last full month with the current meta where next month we might start to see the impact of the upcoming updates depending on when exactly in July they do release. Say it with me kids: kill the double bubble AMG! Namor, who is set to rerelease so could have gotten a deeper look for the updates leads SHIELD to first overall and every other leader for the faction (in fractions of the games played) had a good month as well.  Slowly but surely King T has is in the process of taking over the mantle of Wakandas default leader and his leadership has become much better with more terrain on the average table. He is certainly a character that could use a little tweak down (personally I'd take away that he gains power when allies take damage) but his leadership is cool and fun and I don't think it will c...
