Avalanche looks sweet to be honest. He's not in the Realm of the top end 3's even compared to recent releases like Karnak and especially Gorgon but Landslide is a fantastic ability. It's really what you're picking him up for. Reactively destroying terrain is also great in Magneto. But he's probably best played in a very wide Mystique team where he can be the last activation and just guaranteed push someone off a secure. Is he splash worthy? Maybe. If you need a 3 with guaranteed control he can be your man while being at least a bit tougher than Ghost-Spider. His model is also A+.
We now got the confirmation that nothing changes on the backside for Exodus. Which is nice as a total of 14 HP with his multiple ways of healing makes him very hard to get off the board. Which nice as he's got a great sculpt you're not mad at having on the table for a long time. Many Podcasts described Exodus as being a strictly worse Cable which yeah there are a lot of similarities but where Cable is more offensively reliable Exodus is going to last a whole lot longer on the board. A true Brawler, maybe rivaling even Juggs for staying Power while being more offensive (but of course much slower).
I think Exodus absolutely has a home in Brotherhood and can be splashes anywhere you want a big tanky 5. Convocation might be a good spot for him. He does make finding a spot for Wanda in your BH Teams even harder though.
Lady Mastermind is very weird character. It's quite hard to image the kind of impact "Your Reality Is What I Want It To Be" will have and it of course really depends on the opponents team. When they bring characters with good builders/ gainers and low mystic defense she's going to have a field day probably. Wolverine and X-23 come to mind here. In other match ups it will do nothing. Mental Fog is tried and true of course. Between her, Mystique and Emma Frost you could have three of these in your Brotherhood squad. Overall I think she's a character I can't really give any value assessment off before having seen her played. And I do hope her models looks better in person. Definitely the weakest of the three here (sculpt).
This is a strong card (for a weird character nonetheless). It's specifically good against CGR and Dormammu but otherwise what you want to achieve here is the Advance for the defending character. With Lady Mastermind operating at R5 it can be hard to be in Range for the card though.
This cards represent what Will Shick was mentiong a lot where Brotherhood is supposed to be built around those one or two big centerpieces with their henchmen (and women) tagging along. It's a new faction identity card. If you bring Mags, Exodus and/or Juggernaut you'll also bring the card.
Another very strong card. It's basically a secondary leadership where you get to be A-Force but all power goes to the big guys. You've of course have to have invested 11 threat in the pair already so the amount of lower threat characters that can trigger it is a bit limited but it's still a strong effect.
Overall these seems like good additions to the Brotherhood of Mutants with Exodus and the TTCs looking like the most impactful ones. Lad Mastermind might prove to be amazing and Avalanche looks fun with his guaranteed control.
That's it for today.
Cheers from Germany 🍻
