Hot Takes: Quasar and Moondragon

Finally!

Mystic Rapid Fire (but on a wild so pretty unreliable), a good Spender, Charge, her Version of Witty Banter, Shield Mind and a better than average (because it works against Mystic) Martial Artist. Heather Douglas is a good 3 threat. Flight, Medium Base and Medium Move make her fast too and 6/6 Stamina means she doesn't fall over dead too quick either.

I wouldn't immediately put the Mind Gem on her personally but that's definitely something to test out. It would fix her main problem which is Power generation but she might be to weak defensively to warrant being a 4 threat.

She is in Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers and Defenders and especially for the former she is a strong choice at 3 threat.

A-.

I think the card is only worth it when you have father and daughter Douglas on the board together as the combination of both effects seems worth the 4 power; for only one of them the cost is very steep.

Just like her girlfriend Quasars one glaring weakness is funding her incredible kit. Immunites to Stun and Poison definitely help there. Otherwise she has a good (if short ranged) builder, a potentially insane spender that's held back by its steep power cost, Charge on another medium base medium move character, what is basically her version of Mutant Absorption, additional defense dice (not the best defensive tech, but better than nothing) and an incredible reactive superpower making her virtually Stagger immune.

No point in denying my Guardians bias but I really like her.

Great name for the card first of all (and of course I called it 😉) . The card is also great I think. The effect is similar to Brothers in Arms but on a very fair level. Gonna try it out.

B+.

Affiliation Overview: Spider-Foes (2026 update)

Why should you play the affiliation Are you a somewhat of a scientist yourself? Do you like crushing arachnids? Do you love making overly complicated plans and see them ruined by a teenager? Spider-Foes are a super fun faction, which boosts the best looking line of miniatures in the game and a very fun and unique play style with tricks and traps. How to start the affiliation As long as it's available you absolutely start with the Spider-Foes Starter set. It's the so gle best deal in MCP and probably all of tabletop wargaming. The only characters you're missing out of the affiliation after that are: Kingpin (available in the Criminal Syndicate Affiliation pack, which is a good additional pick up after the starter set) Doctor Octopus (available in the Spider-Foes Affiliation Pack or Rivals Panel) Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist (available in the Earth Mightiest Core Set, a good additional pick up if you need terrain) Venom (currently de f...

Affiliation Overview: Defenders (2026 Update)

Why should you play the affiliation Defenders are a giant affiliation containing both the more mystic focused Defenders of Doctor Strange and also the Marvel Knights which made up the Netflix show Defenders. On the board Defenders have a super deep roster with a ton of great characters and some variety in play style. How to start the affiliation The necessary first buy is the Defenders Affiliation pack, containing Doctor Strange, Wong, Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Next I would look at the Hard to Hit character pack with Namor, Shang-Chi, Silver Sable and Black Panther, Chosen of Bast, who are all affiliated. And if you want to bring the currently competitively strongest version of Defenders to the table, you'll have to pick up Blue Marvel and Spectrum (unaffiliated). What leaderships are available and what is the typical game plan? Since his May 2025 Update Doctor Stranges leadership Judgement of the Vishanti is pretty cool and pretty st...

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 :...
