I can't believe all the beef with Strange in here
I don't hate him, I just think one big letdown of the game is the card pool for characters to choose their deck from should be doubled. There are a few choices you can make deckbuilding for a playstyle, mostly the Hunter with the light/dark, but it's mostly a case of just including the objectively best cards for each character. I would have more fun playing Strange as a support character if I could customize his deck more, where someone like Cap I'd probably still run block/taunt as much as possible.

He's a support class for a game that never really needs support classes, so they pulled that back. I think he'd be a lot cooler if they took away some of his harder hitting cards, but gave you abilities that would let you look through your deck, mess with enemies ability choices, that kind of thing.

that agamoto’s gaze is the best buff in the game tho :hubie:. Getting to draw the last two attack cards that were played by any of your characters (with extra damage added) along with an extra card play on the next turn is GOAT for any team setup. Strange won’t even have to do anything else. I’ll equip strange with 2 of those upgraded cards and those turns with the 4 card plays pretty much set up the win every time. Even if you don’t use his other moves you can use him to essentially let other characters use attack cards twice in back to back turns while adding heroism, extra damage, and an extra play

After finally putting down GoW, i bought this yesterday... and it's pretty damn fun :ehh: Never played a card game before but FF Tactics is one of my GOATs, so i figured i'd appreciate something like this.

I'm not very far into it, only just picked up Spider-Man but the story itself isn't bad... like, it's not Mass Effect 2 but you can tell they put a lot of effort with the characterizations.

I guess there's a joint venture between Marvel and Blacked with Carol as the main asset, because in the comics she getting plowed by Rhodey and here...well, i see where things are headed :mjlol:

Strange + Iron Man

Draw two cards on air superiority, cast, + agamotos gaze, cast it again = clear

Also, Stranges move to reclaim two used cards is incredibly slept on.

That's kinda what I'm saying, his whole thing should be doing crazy shyt with card draw and time flow.

I haven't acquired Steve yet but what yall are saying about Carol is interesting bc.. again, early on in the game, she is definitely an MVP candidate.
the Taunt + Counter + Super Sayian + her offensive cards = tough.

Like with most things RPG /strategy, all that early game shyt almost always shifts as you progress but her, Ironman and Blade seemed like they'd be pretty thorough throughout as far as pure offense.

There’s a good chance that maybe I just neglected her offensive cards after a while.

But idk I just could not make good use for her over other people by the last 3rd. Even her big heroic photon beam attack just did such shytty damage for the cost

Robbie’s he’ll ride would be doing like 350+ per, and she’s doing like 80 still

i didn't even use her ult lol. once binary, she's basically a high damage prop for interactions with everyone else. i was throwing enemies into her *just* to get her pulling free cards which stacked redraws, frees, heroism gain stuff, etc.

robbie's damage is on some other shyt tho

an item does that lol

the best card strange got is the one that lets you burn two used items again. that's actually fukking powerful and nothing can replicate that

but going back to agamato... so i just used an action with strange - so down to 2 real actions now. so next turn i'll have 4 with him. that's still 3 & 3. and he's still around doing what exactly? a character who's actually bringing something to the table instead of pushing shyt into next round seems like the better deal but i don't know

Its worth it to refund two powerful cards that you can use next turn though. You could get two valuable hero cards back

Using an empower with Nico for example, and refunding it so you can use that next turn and have 3 turns left that cost zero heroism to cast

Edit-

Its also gives 50%+ attacks to redrawn cards so if one of them was a heroic card its even more powerful. Its a great skill
