Spider-Man Review - Arguments For and Against The Hero

If we could retcon the Spider-Man deck with more modern traits, he should have the Web-Warrior trait and Black Cat should have the Thief trait (It's even in her quote!). He's still one of my favorite heroes in the game though and an iconic Marvel character.

I feel like with Warrior of the Great web they should have just made it a card that is permanent upgrade that can be played on heroes with "spider" in their name, and without the boost to attack. Simple, balanced, and gives everyone what they want.

They need to issue a pack of cards that need required updates, so we don't have to dance around the "Spider-" upgrade. Just publish new Spider-Man/Woman cards with the trait on them and fix all the other cards that have had text addendums. I'd happily buy that as a card pack for $15 with all the "fixed" cards and toss my existing ones in the recycle bin.

Completely forgot that Heroes for Hire trait existed, I can't wait to see what they do with it when we get to Defenders!

11:21 You cannot deft focus enhanced spider-sense because deft focus hero action. I think every aspects being able to do everything is fine. You have to jump trough hoops on each aspect to do what other can. It’s also still significantly weaker than what other aspect has to offer

Please, do more of the heroes reviews. It helps tremendously. Much appreciated ❤

House ruling to give Spidey the Web-Warrior trait really smooths out a lot of the issues he has in present state. Such a small fix makes a large impact.

I wish they would consider reprinting the old heroes in their own hero pack. Like imagine if we got a Spiderman Peter Parker hero pack where he has the web warrior trait printed on his card, new aspect cards for whatever aspect they choose for his pack to come in, and maybe even optional identity specific cards that you can use in place of some of his old identity specific cards, etc.

I think Spiderman Protection Taunt is a blast and I love playing him that way! 😁

Looking forward to this series! I’m still working through the first wave so it’s cool to see some more recent comments on the old heroes

Love the format!! Thanks, D20!😊

11:00 you can't use deft focus to play enhanced spider-sense as deft focus is an action, not a resource

This video was great. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series if you keep it going. Thanks!

Played a game yesterday with Spider-Man with friends playing Captain Marvel and Ant-Man. I really enjoyed Spider-Man, Backflip is crazy strong. We were debating if the Web-Shooter could be used on Captain Marvel's turn to power her energy blast cards. We didn't end up needing it but it wasn't clear if the wild resource could be used by any other player as long as Spider-Man is in hero form.

Nice idea for a series of videos. So, the problem with Peter Parker is that he's too strong? Great 😊

I really enjoyed the video. Could you break Ghost Spider down like this? This was a great way you've described how the cards work, and Ghost Spider has really gotten me confused

What a great video! This definitely makes me wanna go back to the core box and do a "old heroes new tricks" with all the great aspect cards weve received over the years Looking forward to your next one!

Spiderman with taunt gets you net 2 from the card, but you get another card from his ability. So, it's still a net gain of 2 and even more if you plan to just take the attack or do a basic defense. Plus, it thematically fits with Spiderman so we'll.

A few points: Webbed Up actually works against Spidermans core gimmick of drawing cards, potentially twice. Its an odd card for his deck, though it is good. Enhanced spider sense is not a great identity specific cancellation. Compare it to Dr Strange, which cancels the cards. Enhanced spidersense only cancels the when revealed, which in most cases is the cards, but a lot of the worst treacheries, especially in expert, will still surge. And Scarlet Witch can just cancel am entire encounter card, regardless of what it is. Black Widows grapling hook, though more expensive, sits on the table and still cancels all effects, allowing it to be used at the perfect time. Haven't tried it yet, but I've been thinking Suit Up and warrior of the great web could really round out his trait issue if teying to run a web-warrior deck.

The Black Cat volton deck is one of my favorite decks in Champions. Will probably be a while before she gets her own hero pack if at all so this is the next best thing! Sidearm is another great attachment for her to avoid retaliate damage.
