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: Web Warriors

2026 Update in progress Why should you play the affiliation Peter Parker is the single most popular character in the world. Miles and Gwen share between them the focus of the two best superhero movies of all time and are extremely popular characters in their own rights. On the table Web Warriors are a supreme objective play team building off of their core of incredible 3 threats. They are big enough nowadays to offer different approaches too though. How to start the affiliation Untypically I don't think getting the affiliation pack is always the best way to start here. While Miles and Gwen are absolute core models to the affiliation, 4 threat Peter Parker will very rarely (if ever) see the table and Venom is decent but really up to personal taste. And seeing how the only real benefit of the affiliation pack is getting the additional Peter for free you can really decide if that's worth it for you. If you own core set 1 you already have the character a...

Affiliation Overview: Defenders (updated)

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 tonne of great characters and some variety in play style. How to start the affiliation Update: In Q2 2025 AMG releases the Defenders affiliation pack which uniquely comes with five models in Doctor Strange, Wong, Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. You have to pick this pack up first and absolutely should. After that I would first pick up Shang-Chi and Silver Sable followed by Hulk and then Namor and Black Panther, Chosen of Bast. You have your core very much there.The affiliation is very deep and has a lot of good characters but with those mentioned you have your probably most used models in hand already. Also all of the affiliated TTCs. Just note that Pentagrams of Falafel (let me have fun with t...
