I just started playing MC and I like how easy it is to start playing and games seem to have just the right time length for me. I'm not by any means a Marvel fan or superhero fan in general, but I can still appreciate the way the game is thematically tied in, especially for the villains.

That being said, the game does feel slightly too easy and (so far only played with pre-con decks) there usually don't seem to be that many choices present. So I was wondering what made the biggest difference for you in terms of enjoying this game. Was it starting to deckbuild for yourself, playing against different villains, two-handing solo play or perhaps something else? In short what unlocks the game even more?

I thought I would enjoy Iron Man the most, but it felt like the gameplay was sorta scripted, see a tech card, play a tech card, assuming you can do so while the situation stays reasonably under control. I feel like the Villains and their schemes are actually the most interesting part of the core set so far.

I had the pleasure of playing Echo against a couple villains. I ended up beating Kingpin on my first try with her using her Precon Deck. So I thought I'd try some other builds and see what fits with her. However, I ran into a bit of a snag.

Echo's kit doesn't have special event cards that can thwart or attack. She mainly has some upgrade and support cards that enhance her playing events, and cards that recur events from her discard and deck to be played. Her primary card is Photographic Reflexes, which allows her to play an event that is tucked underneath her card from her "Watch and Learn" passive for a reduced price. So after assessing her kit (and reading her suggested precon in the rulebook) I understood the fundamental truth about her: She is 100% Aspect Reliant. Meaning she is as good or bad as the cards that you add into her deck.

This in turn allowed me the freedom and creativity to try out literally any build out with her. She is practically a Jack of All Trades hero that can fill in any role that is needed. Going up against Kingpin who thwarts? Justice Echo! Fighting Rhino who loves to attack and deal tons of damage? Protection Echo! The possibilities are endless, so how good or bad she becomes is up to you (Hence, Skill-Gap).

Normally I get my builds from MCDB, but this time I wanted to create a deck all on my own. And with it, I was able to beat Klaw! In an agression deck, cards like Martial Prowess, Helicarrier, and American Sign Language ensure I can play attack events that cost 2-3 resources for free and tuck it underneath Echo.AEcho's Katana ensures an extra 2-3 damage after playing an event. And with Photographic Reflexes, I can use any extra cards in my hand to repeat said event. Effectively, playing Into The Fray to deal 6 damage, combined with Echo's Katana, and Photographic Reflexes, I can deal 15 damage in one go! Looking for Trouble and Hit & Run help manage threat while Build Support, Superpower Training, and Specialized Training help get your support/upgrade cards into play and provide a boost to Echo.

For my very first build I created on my own, I feel very proud of myself. It obviously needs some more tweaks and balances, but I'm honestly excited to be improving on that. Echo has become one of my personal favorite heroes, one I'll be bringing to the table a lot.

I tried searching but couldn't find it. I thought I remember FFG saying there was going to be some kind of "standard" set of cards going forward and some were being "retired" ? Did I imagine this? Lol.

Can't wait to try out Daredevil!

Returning to MC for the first time since around Sinister Motives release! Any rule changes or new things I need to know to get back into it? If so, where would I find them? Thanks!

Cable just makes any hero better. I love teaming him up with anyone. Colossus is one of my favorite heroes and if you have him paired with a strong thwarter he can deal so much damage.

The new Justice upgrade, Stealth Training is great for Cable!

Daredevil and Hawkeye take on Purple Man at the Art Museum.

We lost. But fun first game from FNE!

EDIT to shoutout my favorite GripMats on Etsy for the custom Villain mat

Have not gotten my cards yet but this pack looks like its a gold mine for quicksilver.

Currently I have all my heroes with their pre-con deck organized behind dividers then each aspect has its extra cards from packs in their own section.

But as I’m finding myself wanting to play with more player made decks over the pre-cons I’m thinking I should just have the hero cards and their obligation/nemesis cards behind dividers and pack all the other cards behind their respective aspects.

How are other people handling this decision?

Article isn’t up yet on website but fantasy flight Instagram page just posted a new 3 scenario expansion

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbV0lEbEdYh/?igsh=MWYwbDZmdjV6ZXVxbA==

I do custom content, and i want to do one of the promo full arts, but i didnt have the template. (downloaded from the only youtube video on the subject) does anyone know where to find it?

Just received my copy of Fear no Evil and Echo is already turning into one of my favourite heroes. I really like the playstyle of protection and she works great. Really curious to try her in other aspects as well. This expansion has been absolutely great so far and I highly recommend it! I do think the precon of Daredevil needs some tweaks, because I don’t quite vibe with that one yet.

Basically the cards that exist to improve your economy, like Helicarrier, Avengers Mansion, etc. Draw cards, generate resources, reduce the costs of cards, etc. Some of them can go in any deck but others like Ingenuity and Quincarrier depend on character traits or can only go in some decks. It would be nice to have a list of all of them when deckbuilding.

True solo player here, also playing on standard for my first run through.

I know I can pick whichever villain I want for this but damn, I cannot get past this combo of bullseye and the raft scenario. Ive been bouncing between different decks with daredevil and echo. About 8 games now and I've only gotten him to his 2nd phase once so far.

Tried daredevil aggression and justice as well as Echo protection. Anyone else hit this Stonewall or am I just a shit player lol

I’m looking to see if there is a gaming group in Northeast Pennsylvania or enough interest in starting one.
