Card Spotlight: Team Building Exercise

 Team Building Exercise

12024
This is another card spotlight.  It's an easy resource discount card, but due to dual-traited heroes, not as niche as I first thought.  Among the solo player base, this card is often overlooked, as there are better options for most decks.  However, for those of us struggling with whole box deckbuilding, this is a good option to boost the economy of a few decks.  

This comes in Ant Man's, Spider Ham's, and Iceman's decks, but certainly, the Avenger trait in Leadership is easy to build on. Aerial can be amazing while combining with Avengers, Xmen, or Champions.  Psionic can combine with Xmen or X-force.  Iceman has a nice combo with his Ice cards.  Asgard also combines with Avengers, and Thor hits the trifecta with Asgard, Avengers, and Aerial from Mjolnir.

Interesting heroes for Team Building Exercise:

  • Black Widow - Avenger, SHIELD
  • Thor (3) - Avenger, Asgard, Aerial
  • Valkyrie (3) - Avenger, Asgard, (can get aerial)
  • Spectrum - Avenger, Aerial
  • Ironheart - Champion, (version 2 Aerial)
  • Nova - Champion, Aerial
  • Angel - Xmen, Aerial
  • Phoenix - Xmen, Psionic
  • Psylocke - X-force, Psionic
  • Iceman - Xmen, Ice

Team Up Cards: Home Rules

Image
 Custom Cards: Team Up Cards These might be my final hero custom card set for Home Rules.  There's not too much else on the hero side that really feels broken or unfun.  My next custom cards will likely be villain scenarios: Collector and Ronan.   Team up cards are cool, and very thematic, but no one ever puts them in a deck unless you're playing a thematic duo in multiplayer.  I want to make sure we can use these with our signature allies, especially because m y friends are more into the thematics in each deck.  Hence, I've been working on this a little more in my deck building for game night. There are two big problems with these cards: There's a 1/8 chance that they'll end up in the same hand with your signature ally.  That's absolutely not worth the deck space.   The cost of a signature ally is often 3-4, and usually you would not be able to play both the ally and the Team-Up card at the same time. So the fix is to just make these al...

Re-sized Fold-Out Heroes: Ant Man, Wasp, Angel

Image
Okay, many of us have fiddled with these "Giant-Form" heroes.  Sure, they look cool, and folding out is a great visual on the table when you switch to Giant Form.  I don't have Ant Man, but I do have Wasp, and now I have Angel.  Here's the problem: how do we get these to fit into a regular card sleeve? I cheated with Wasp.  I copied the giant form on a color copier, cut it out, folded it into the sleeve, so you could see the top half with the stats, and you could flip to see the bottom half with the abilities.  Angel is printed wide, not tall, so you can fold it to see the stats, but the abilities get cut off halfway across.  So,    https://champions-card-maker.pages.dev      to the rescue. Here are Ant Man ,  Archangel and Wasp fixed for regular card size to put into a sleeve.  I just print these on paper, cut them out, and then I just use some lame cards I don't care about and put them both in the sleeve.  It feel...
