United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 31 มี.ค. 2021
Welcome to Critical Encounters, a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. Here we take a good look at that most critical piece of the game, the Encounter Sets. We’ll discuss those poorly understood characters, unfairly labeled Villains, and their various plans to shape humanity and benefit the planet, as well as those so-called heroes intent on thwarting them. We are your hosts Vardaen, bigfomlof, TheTruth and WanderingTook.
Vol 6 - Rise of the Four Horsemen - Scenario 1
Apocalypse is in need of a new set of horsemen after the X-men defeated his previous ones. Only the strong may be named Death, War, Famine and Pestilence. He has set a test to the villains of our fine city, cause destruction and mayhem and earn a place among his vaunted Four Horsemen. So the city is in chaos and our heroes must step in and save the citizens from this
most foul competition.
Scenario 1 - Stampede!
Rhino and the Wrecking Crew have taken up the challenge and are causing destruction on a grand scale in the city. They are trying to see who can break and take the most things in the name of Apocalypse. You must try and capture them all.
Steve and Bill take on this Custom Campaign!

Liking the Agents tracker.
Agents of shield box being delayed 😑! Any idea why?
Didn't hear this, sorry.
This song is PHENOMENAL...I only just started listening to it when I started listening to the greater episode...I dropped a line here earlier based off of the title (and discovering Mike was leaving)...but this song far exceeded my expectations...Daniel- I'll be calling you Maestro from now on...thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and amazing song about your great colleague, Mike!
Next song will need to be for a happier reason
Oh my gosh...just saw this!! It'll be sad to see you go Mike!! Thank you for all the amazing laughs and chats on Marvel Champions...you'll be missed!!
Amazing song in celebration of an amazing villain, whose hair is the envy of many, whose wit prompts laughter around the world, and whose devious schemes threaten world domination (or at least Daniel's embarrassment). You will be missed, Mike, and I think I speak for us all when I say I hope we see more of you again soon!
Vreat viewing thanks Steve. Not sure about that deck, seems a lot of effort just to set up the discard from top of deck at a point when you're already winning the game. Interesting nonetheless.
When the Armor comes out early it can really get it rolling, being able to see the top 4 cards can impact the Armor, Legion, Mansion, so there are options as you go, when all 3 get the bonus as once its real fun.
Awesome game gentlemen! That was a really fun one and a great combo of decks to get the job done.
What a truly astounding episode - the body of work Joey has done is just phenomenal, I am so grateful for him and all the other artists who bring these stories to life so dynamically and beautifully. Thank you, gentlemen, for making this interview happen! This is a MUST WATCH episode.
He was a great guest, and does some amazing work
beautiful show this week. didn't realize my favorite art in the game was all done by the same artist.
He does amazing stuff
Great game! I like this deck - it's always fun to build into heroes that play around your deck with Global Logistics. Magneto is incredibly strong, I think, which is expected of a true Villain - but more importantly, his cards just feel fun. I really enjoy watching people play him as his events and cards always feel momentous! You even handicapped yourself by not always triggering your benefits (you were supposed to draw a card off of Asteroid M towards the end and just opted not to :P). Nice job keeping Gene Pool under control. With Asteroid M and potentially Weapon X, I wonder if adding another source of Confuse would be worth it, like Dazzler or something?
Yeah I noticed AFTER a few misses, but those were in the villains favor so its okay :) Magneto is quickly become one of my favorite characters to play.
I played this One Shot a few times. Gamora, Ant Man, Cable. There may have been others I have forgotten. I think the trick here is to balance your damage and thwarting in stage 1 while building your board a bit (always good for Stryfe) and having a solution for all the attacks and damage you'll be taking. Ant Man heals when he flips, Gamora I built in protection and Cable has 3 Def with THW using Askanison. Tough challenge, and definitely one worth trying a few times.
It's fun to see the Wrecking Crew out once in a while!
That Gamora deck was going off Bill! Very entertaining to watch.
Steve channeling the heart of the cards to draw one-two punch was a glorious moment! Fun game, gentlemen!
I wish it always worked that way
I love the Wrecking Crew Promo cards - they look fantastic!
With real cards?!? 🎉
At 37.47 you guys went straight to Encounter Cards without letting Sinister scheme against Steve. What a bunch of cheaty heroes!
Was he confused or were we confused :)
@criticalencounterspod New Critical Encounters house rule? #1142 WHILE a Villain controls the encounter deck, the Villain is confused. Perfectly non-confusing.
Such a villainous win - how devious to bypass the rules and complete the one shot without ever having to defeat the villain! :P
Technically winning is the best kind of winning.
Pretty funny that Hulk survived like 5 Encounter cards in the last round and Wasp died to one... Well played Mr Beast, sir.
Wasps are easily stomped :)
Nice to see someone finally shut up Deadpool ...:D. Fun game - so close to the win!
What a doozy! Ya'll really gave it a go with some tough matchups in this one, but that made it a fun one to watch :D
Yup, we really brought our A game ;)
02:23:55 - The best part, that matters most! Great episode!
Fun game - very nice try on a huge challenge! You really hung in there for a long time, which was super epic, and you almost managed to squeeze out the win!
I think you could have won on your last turn. Punch with Cable (instead of thwart) and use Prof's response to ready Deadpool or Wolvie = 7/8 damage and KO. Great to watch regardless. Well done Hood.
Yeah looking back, and seeing the reply I definitely could have done the 11 damage, there were a few options. I tend to get a little tunnel vision when minions are out and things look bad to try and stabilize instead of just punching for the win.
@criticalencounterspod I think I do that too. Easier to spot patterns like that when you're not doing all the work playing the game though. As well, as long as it's fun!
love the mod selection 😅
Estou gostando muito dos vídeos do canal. Gostaria de saber como mudar o plano de fundo no OCTGN?
Adorei a sua gameplay, eu não conhecia o seu canal. Gostaria de saber como faz para mudar o plano de fundo na plataforma Dragncards? Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho.
Thanks for watching. We haven't used Dragncards yet. Check out our podcast Critical Encounters criticalencounters.libsyn.com/
@criticalencounterspod entendi. Este seria o OCTGN então? Se sim, é possível trocar o plano de fundo?
@@frankmel0yes this is OCTGN the host pays for OCTGN they can upload various wallpapers.
Love the smashup reel! You should do this more with all the custom cards and things y'all generate in the episodes!
😂😂 just finished watching the first KO. Classic Hawkeye glass cannon game. I've played that out plenty of times.
Yup!
Damage output in that last round was bonkers. Well done gents! The game was over that round either way 😂
Sort of how the game works, struggle struggle struggle --> EXPLODE!
Can't wait for my copy of Magneto to arrive. I'm going to play Magneto vs Magneto ASAP. Multiverse of Magnetism!
He's fun
Fun couple of games - I really like Magneto, he is super fun to play!
Thanks for showcasing the new stuff. Fun watches.
Few minutes in… I’m sure I would have read power and decadence wrongly by not dealing any boosts at all
I'm not 100% sure that I did it right, but it feels right based on Klaw's special ability. At the time it was my Grim Rule so I could keep going. If anyone knows otherwise I'd be happy to find out.
@@criticalencounterspod I think this is maybe like Cosmo, who doesn't take consequential damage due to his ability, and Enraged, which causes the ally to take one additional consequential damage. In that instance, the additional damage doesn't proc, because no damage is being dealt. Here, no boost cards are being dealt, so the *additional is null. There is nothing to add to, as that step is being skipped. Curious what the official ruling would be, though.
@@LexiconLeiduninteresting. The use of the word additional may be the key.
For one step ahead: the art doesn’t have Mr. Sinister captured, it is a mannequin (the skin on his face is a bit shiny and porcelain)
Okay they THINK they captured him, he made them think they got him, but they didn't he really flew away! Themurdered! Nicely done.
Finally finished watching. Husk is a really interesting resource sink. I think she could be fun with Bishop's double resources ready for discarding. Well played gents.
Yeah, Husk and Bishop are a good combo I think. Thanks for watching.
Nicely done gentlemen! Fun game, way to show that Villain who's boss! It was fun watching all the different Pool cards see some play - Da Bomb helping bring it all home was a chef's kiss :D.
And to think I was debating using it!
I was today years old when I realised that Sidekick specifies "identity-specific ally". Thanks for the learning Bill!
He isn't the BoardGameLAWYER for no reason ;)
Very scary cards... I definitely want to avoid his nemesis when playing as Magneto. Thanks for the reveal! Will from MeepleProfessionals highly recommended y'all!
Awesome cards, always happy to have a villainous Halloween!
It was our very own 'scare tactic' for the day. ;)
@ love the thumbnail and intro music too!
Look, I'll be honest, I agree. The "defeating player" definitely reads very weirdly compared to every other card ever 😆 But I do understand what it means, so that's good. Amazing reveal, scary nemesis - but good for Digging Deep. Thanks for doing this! I'll be doing a video later today you guys might be interested in regarding why I suspect you guys had to post today. Sharing this video on my Discord server now regardless!
Its what happens when you are an English teacher for 20 years you get hung up on grammar :)
@@criticalencounterspod sokay, I learnt my English gud :)
YESSS. More popped collars! ❤ Glad you guys got a spoiler.
Always fashionable
It’s my joy to shout it live even if we use a different version in the final cut
"...watch some MTV?" "You mean Mojo Television?" "I SURE DO!" 😂😂 Never gets old.
I am in agreeance that they pretty much took the entire theming of this modular set from one issue of a comic. And I think that it is alluded to as to why they did not use the person that first comes to mind to me as a good Nemesis, because so much of Kimura is wrapped up in Trigger 42 and body autonomy. I think FFG wanted to distance themselves.
Cool scenario! And man I love watching SP//dr gameplay. Such an awesome hero design.
One of my absolute favorite hero designs. Prior to this pack I knew nothing about the character except what was in the Spiderverse movie and that is itself a different spin on the character.
@criticalencounterspod agreed. Have you tried her in 'Pool yet? I ran the three triple energies, Healing Factor, Stick-to-it-iveness, Avengers Mansion and a bunch of Web Warrior stuff. Turned out to be one of the strongest decks I'd ever built. And of course great fun.
@@marctimmins8806 I have not actually. I'll have to give it a try.
