Wasp Home Rules

Wasp is one of my favorites, but some of her cards never sat right with me.  Giant Help was the trigger for all this.  It just doesn't make sense the way Wasp Sting does.  Why would you ever play it in Tiny form?  

The more I looked at it, her stats in each form are weird: way too low in Tiny form, way too high in Giant form.  And I figured out why.  I think they wanted Giant form to be 1 THW, 2 ATK, 3 DEF, but her Giant hero power doesn't make sense if her THW or ATK is only 1.  So they were cornered.  

Home Rules:
Tiny form hero stats: THW is now 3.  
Wasp's Helmet: Giant form: +1 ATK, Tiny form: ignore Guard, Patrol, and Crisis Icons.
Bio-Synthetic Wings: Cost 1
Red Room Training: Giant form: Gain retaliate 1, Tiny form: Gain +1 ATK and basic attacks gain piercing.
Giant Help: Tiny: Remove 4 threat from a single scheme.  Ignore crisis icons.  Giant: Remove 2 threat from up to 3 different schemes.

Discussion:
Her basic gimmick is that in Tiny form, no one knows she's there until it's too late --a little like Shadow Cat.  

Tiny form hero stats: this by itself makes her a much better contender in any hero tier list, and Tiny form is now much more important.  Her helmet is more thematic in both forms, as it made no sense to have more thwart in Giant form.  I like her wings, but they seemed overpriced.  Red Room Training is now more useful by pairing the piercing with +1 ATK.  I didn't want to give her more THW in either form after upping her Tiny form THW to 3.  Giant Help is obviously fixed to align with Wasp Sting.

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...
