    You immediately went into the content when the video started. I love this. You got yourself a subscriber!

    WOW. Love your channel! I'm a new MC player. Came to this channel after looking at your insane video of ranking aspects for each hero. Randomly searched if there is someone crazy enough to do it. Wish I saw this a year ago. Subscribed

    Great content as always. I have full collection already but still interesting to watch to get ideas on what to play out of my top heroes/villains.
  • You create very high quality content and presentation, great job man.

    I'm new and i didn't know what to buy after the core set. I used your guide to buy Red skull, Cap, Wasp, Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch, SP//dr and Next Evolution as the heros there seems fun to play. Thanks a lot !

    Working toward getting everything, but will definitely recommend this guide for newer players

    Got everything!! I recommend some hero packs u buy 2 of. I hate having to search for that one card when they only give u 1.

    Awesome video as always! As someone who started playing only about 2 years ago a couple of observations: 1. Captain America was the hero where the game really clicked for me. Something around the design of his shield and how this combines theming with satisfying interactions. And he’s so well rounded with a bit of everything. So worth buying very early for the hero alone, let alone the cards he adds into your card pool. 2. I was surprised that Next Evolution was so high, mainly for the reasons you suggest - the heroes are much more difficult to navigate. I hear what you’re saying about the player side schemes but I think it’s fun to discover side schemes a little later in the journey. Although I maybe underestimating the value this would’ve provided me early in my journey. 3. This is probably a terrible suggestion but I centred my route to investment primarily through tribal synergies. My first box - rightly or wrongly - after the core was Sinister Motives. I love the Spiderverse so went in on that then focused investing on Web Warrior heroes, enabling me to build a strong set of cards in one area. And as I got to learn the wider card pool, I bought specific hero packs that had the cards I need to round out the decks I wanted to build. And once I was satisfied with that, I focused on another tribal aspect (in my case Guardians 🤪). Not sure if that helped or hindered my progression but maybe tribal archetypes is a potential alternative to aspect archetypes depending on how you like to deck build. 4. Oh and my last tip for newbies… subscribe to Villain Theory because his Marvel Champions content is top notch! Anyway, just thought I’d chuck in my two pence. PS - any news on when that mega hero guide is dropping that you said you were working on? Been keeping my eye out for it ever since you mentioned it a week or so ago! 😁

    Great guide, especially since I started getting into this game while not trying to break the bank.
  • @labyrinth727
    Subscribed - I have everything already but wanted to support the creator of my built decks lol

    When you said "Welcome to the Avengers...." I just thought, "Or the Champions, or the Gotg, or the Web-Warriors, or the X-men, or the X-Force" 😄 (Yes, I am that much of a nerd XD) In all seriousness, I think after I get a few more heroes, I'm gonna hard focus getting the campaign boxes. Even if GMW is too hard for example, I still get Groot and Rocket, as well as the deckbuilding cards. So it seems like a good deal to me.

    Awesome video ! Wish I found it before spending my money 😢
  • @benf5287
    This is an amazing open opening video.. I bought the core box and Red Skull per your suggestion. Going to get it to the table this weekend. Do you have a how to play video I could watch? Thank you!
  • @118bone
    I think a Con for NeXt evolution are the aspect cards, the Domino justice stuff only works for her right now, with the whole discard from the top synergy (yes, there's sharpshooter, but it's veeery niche, unlike the Shield stuff in Sinister Motives which was an archetype on its own and could fit into any hero) and Cable's stuff is too X force dependent.
  • @liquidsn8ke529
    How dare you place Valkyrie in the word of Caution I'm definitely Telling D20 on you haha, don't you know she's the GOAT?! just kidding! Great Video all around :)
  • @hyuzu22
    Just found out about this game after visiting Barnes and Noble! What a great video! I’m still a bit on the fence on this game and need to watch some gameplay. I already subscribed, so I’ll see if there are any on your channel. Also, is Deadpool good for beginners and/or solo play? He’s a big reason I wanna play this game haha
