May 2026 Affiliation Stats

  Welcome to the May 26 Affiliation Stats article. We have some big surprises this month especially compared to the April 26 stats.  As always we start with All Events (AE) and further down we have Rated Singles Events (RSE).  It's a weird in-between time where we wait for the (delayed into July) big character update and where some people and Events still use the former Crisis Rotation while some already use the new one.  All Events:  SHIELD has been dominating for some time now mostly relying Namor, who stays unhealthy above 60% but in May Nick Fury also got back on track with an even higher win rate (in a fraction of the games played). It's only 23 games but a 65% win rate before the update is impressive for Hellfire Club, the first big surprise of the month.  Convocation in the top 3 is not that big of a surprise for regular readers but going over 60% is not that common even for them.  Wakanda is back with a vengeance. King T absolutely dominated a...

My TTCs and Stat Card storing solutions

  A question I often see pop up on Reddit is: how do you store the TTCs and Stat Cards? I've had several systems during my close to four years playing the game but am very happy with the one I use nowadays and wanted to share it:  These three folders do the heavy lifting now.  First of the TTC folder. Here I use 9 card per side inlays and have them ordered alphabetically (just after the first letter not in order in the letter) any rotated and banned cards are put in backside front and I don't use the backsides of the pouches to be able to appreciate the artwork better. I also put in German or nowadays Spanish copies of the cards below the English version to mark it's space in the folder (some older cards can't have that obviously).  Any cards I need for a game or a standing roster are sleeved in the black sleeves seen on the third image.  I use these sleeves for stat cards and they fit perfectly and an added bonus is that they fit sleeved into these: I use these...

Rotated generic TTCs and why they could come back or stay rotated

  It's hard to find something interesting to write about in this weird "waiting for the huge update" phase (and the Update has been postponed until July 😩). I told my SGP Discord exactly that and got the suggestion for this article which I found would be quite a fun write and hopefully read. Full disclosure, A Goose has done a similar article some time ago but this here is absolutely unrelated to that.  I'll go over every generic TTC that has been rotated out of Standard play and give my impression of if it could come back or should stay rotated forever in alphabetical order.  Now I know AMG has rotated many of these out to force more character and affiliation specific cards which in theory I am all for but I've built many rosters where cards like Recall or Warpath just fill up the roster because there plain and simply aren't any other options left. And that problem only gets worse in affiliations with a low amount of faction specific cards.  There's abso...
