What we learned from the Post Adepticon Fury's Finest Interview with Will Shick

  Right at the end of Adepticon Will Shick had an Interview with the (fantastic) Fury's Finest Podcast. If you have the time go listen to the episode yourself, it's always worth listening to Jesse and Chris and it's also always fantastic to hear Will Shick talk about the game. That should be enough reason right there 😉 Find it here   With that out of the way let's see what we learned from the interview:  Adam Warlock:  As expected he is confirmed to be the second Guardians of the Galaxy leader with his leadership being called "Infinity Watch". With his release there will be updates to the Gems and, just like Thanos, he'll be able to hold two of them. And he's going to get a special Soul Stone that only he can hold.  Quasar and Moondragon:  These two will have some synergy with each other (as they should), but not a Husband and Wife mechanic. Shick also talks a lot about how the sculpt of Moondragon came to be and that's a lot of fun to listen too....

March 2025 stats

  Welcome to the March 2025 stats article. As always this article will have two parts: the stats from all events (AE) and rated singles events (RSE). While a few games of the old crisis rotation were still played, the new rotation made up the absolute majority of games. Let's dig right in:  All Events:  Wakanda , on the back of a very strong month for M'Baku, takes first place. Their play rate isn't super high but also not on the level of the least played affiliations.  Feb: 4th. +3  Many voices in the community thought the crisis rotation would be great for the Servants of the Apocalypse . They were right apparently. The affiliation is also very popular. Feb: 5th. +3 Each and every SHIELD leader had a good month which in total gets the affiliation into the top 3.  Feb: 19th. +16 While Kingpin has had a very good month with more than double the amount of games Shadowland Daredevil has had the real eye opener month for the Criminal Syndicate .  Feb: 15...

Adepticon 2025 Reveals evaluated

  The big AMG Adepticon Panel has come and gone and I've had some time to digest everything and will give my opinions and of course I'll compare the reveals with my predictions.  (As always click on the images to enlarge them) Gambit has gotten a much needed update:  His Gainer lost a dice but changed to Energy.  His Spender has the trigger changed to a wild Stun.  He can now walk in any direction with his reactive superpower instead of just away from the character that attacked him.  He lost the superpower to add dice to his attacks.  He has gained an incredible innate superpower that lets him always count wilds double while attacking, defending and dodging. Very thematically fitting and cool.  Is that enough? Yeah I think so. He's kind of a 3 threat slot machine now where his wilds mean so much, that rerolls (offensively and defensively) are fantastic with him. His TTC Dark Past remains the strongest argument to play him still though which is wh...
