Whole Box - New Environment - Heroes Without Double Resource Cards

Heroes Without Double Resource Cards FFG's announcement: FFG are "retiring" older expansion heroes and expansion boxes.  Captain America and Dr Strange are out of print, selling for $250 on eBay, and yes, they are selling.  Sinister Motives is gone, and somehow, Age of Apocalypse is all sold out.  Meanwhile, all older content is going way up in price. The Shift: This is kinda weird.  Star Lord, Nova,  Ironheart,  Spider Ham, SP//DR, Psylocke*, Angel*, Iceman*, Jubliee, Nightcrawler, and Magneto all came without Double Resource cards in their packs.  That's 6 of of the last 8 heroes.  Technically: Psylocke came with 3x The Power of the Mind Angel came with 3x  The Power of Flight Iceman came with 2x The Power in All of Us But if you go looking on Marvel CDB , you'll see that 99% of these decks use the standard Double Resource Cards.  Why?  Not all cards are cheap.  In gameplay, they help you play more cards.  Some play...

Let's just think about how backward Hulk's deck is: it comes with Martial Prowess .  What a great aspect card for Hulk!  It generates a Strength resource for an attack event .  That's perfect!  Almost all his cards have a strength resource requirement.  Wait...  ...Hulk only has 2 attack eve...
