  Why should you play the affiliation? Asgard has a lot of cool usually high threat models with high damage potential and, most importantly, a ton of throws which is the most fun thing in this game.  Thor is also just a fan favourite character (for good reason) and you can play: Thor, Lady Thor, Horse Robot Thor, Thor's Step Brother, Thor's former lover(s), Thor's Sister and so on. A lot of them fan favourites themselves.  How to start the affiliation? The Asgard starter set is insanely good value and comes with no less than 10 of the affiliated characters. It's an absolute no brainier to get if you want to start collecting Asgard. You have two of three leaders in there and a good mix of threats with:  Heimdall; Skurge ; Warriors Three at 3 threat  Enchantress; Valkyrie and Elendil; Lady Sif at 4 threat  Loki, Prince of Lies; The Mighty Thor; Angela at 5 threat  And Thor, Hero of Midgard at 6 threat.  There's only 5 more Asgard affiliated characte...

Why should you play the affiliation? Despite her rather bad D+ show She-Hulk is a cool character and the original (and much funnier) 4th wall breaker. And here she is the main star supported by a bunch of awesome strong women that will punch out anyone who dares stand in their way (in theory).  On the table A-Force are often focused around a bodyguard puzzle you create for your opponent.  How to start the affiliation   Starting A-Force is a bit awkward as She-Hulk, your only available leader nowadays comes in the "Captain America and the Avengers" pack alongside Sam Wilson, War Machine, Ant-Man and Wasp. While especially Captain America (Sam) is a super useful model to have in your collection, only Wasp is another A-Force affiliated model in the pack. Luckily there is a lot of overlap between Avengers and A-Force so it's probably a good start to have a roster using both.  Next up I'd recommend the Wakanda affiliation pack, if you can still find it. It comes with Okoy...

Across the Bifrost Nexus A collection of content for Marvel Cri Welcome back to SG Protocol, where we continue our roster building series with the topic of according for the meta today. What even is the “meta”. Luckily it doesn’t have anything to do with Mark Zuckerberg 😉 What we call the meta is basically the sum of players and rosters you encounter. Be that at your local store / club, a particular event or TTS. So metas can differ based on where you play. Thanos might be very popular and often played in your area while you don’t encounter him once in a TTS event for example. Predicting the meta is especially difficult because basically all events only lock the lists a couple of hours before they start or not at all like in the main TTS league. That said there are three things you can always try to include in your roster unless your game plan would be actively hindered by them. Safe grabs What is meant by safe grab is having a character that can move to the center line of the table, ...
