How do you NOT have more views? This is by far the most entertaining channel for Marvel Champions!
Thanks grouchy nerd. I kinda know the tules already, but watched for your jokes and stories hahaha
The first time I saw a video of yours. I like you.
I like YOU!
Fantastic review thank you I just got my game this week and haven't played yet and this is awesome to see how things work so thank you so much I am going to go watch the second part on how to play with the other modules did you ever put one out of playing an entire game
Awesome! Hope you enjoy the game!
Been waiting for this one! Great vid as always
Thanks! Sorry to keep you waiting!
@ no worries, it’s always worth the wait!!
The Wrap & Missile cards will regularly clog your hand whilst you hunt for non-elite minions but play Magneto against Ultron and enjoy the resulting circus. He might be too fast for the buildup he needs even though he does build super fast. Pulling all those magnetic cards is so much fun but the cape is his one must-have card
Haha, I’ll have to take him against Ultron. Haven’t tried that yet. Feels like it makes sense, though! He SHOULD absolutely wipe the floor with a villain made of metal!
So I'm getting this vid and dale doing a playthrough of mags on the same day? What a day!
Haha, happy to contribute to a good day!
Absolutely brilliant video - thank you.
Thank you! Hope it helped!
I made a Children of the Atom deck using Star-Lord, Mutant Mayhem, and Blaze of Glory (Star-Lord gives them Guardian as well). It was VERY good.
Oooooh, I want to know more about that! Do you have a full deck list?
Great video as always! magneto seems really fun.
Thanks! He is!
He will always be Erik Lehnsherr to me. That "Max Eisenhardt" shit is garbage and a late-game retcon. You expect me to believe he chose to go by Erik Lehnsherr in EVERY SINGLE ALTERNATE TIMELINE AND REALITY? You expect me to believe he lied to his wife, Rogue, in Age of Apocalypse? No, it's bullshit. I also prefer him to be Polish. How often do we get Polish represenation? He is Erik.
Oh, really? I don’t actually know most of this stuff off hand. I mostly read marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Database and bounce around on Marvel Unlimited, so it’s sometimes hard for me to get an idea of when something was added to a story.
@@thegrouchynerd The Max stuff was something that came out in a Magneto one shot series well into the 2000s. There was some debate over whether the name was "Jewish" enough, so they came up with the new persona and declared him German instead of Polish. I always thought this was odd, as no one questions if a black person can have the last name Jackson or Brown or Washington. Before this, the character (which came out in 1963), was Erik for over 40 years. The problem is, there is ZERO explanation of how this retcon is supposed to work. Charles has read his mind a million times, even in private psychic sessions, but never called him Max? His family never called him? No villain has ever called him on it? Mister Sinister and Apocalypse even recognized him as Erik. It was so heavy handed and forced, and now other X-Men just casually refer to him as "Max". It just doesn't make any sense except some editor made this call a while back and now we are stuck it. I for one am very glad Marvel Champions recognized his Alter Ego as Erik Lehsnherr. Granted, I made my own custom card variant of the card, but STILL!
Oooof. Well now I hate it. Glad FFG ignored it, too!
Feels like we waited forever for this! Love your hero reviews! Keep it up!
That holiday season really messed up my schedule! Thanks for your patience!
Wonderful explanation, great job…you’ve earned a subscription
Thanks a lot! And welcome!
Spider-woman is lowkey one of my favorite heroes. Her aspect cards are just bonkers and I love building with two aspects.
Highkey agree!
I think your puns are neato! Excellent video, Grouchy. I hope you're doing well.
Haha, thank you! I appreciate it. And I am! Hope you are, too!
so every new track is +1 upgrade?
If you’re playing the whole season, yes. You pick a new one before each race.
Excellent instruction! I slogged through my first full play thru last night and glad I found your video, it cemented some things I was doing right and clarified some things I was unclear on. Now off to try for an honorable surrender 😅
I’m glad it was helpful! I also had a very hard time at first. Good luck on that honorable surrender! Took me more tries than I care to admit!
Great work. You are the first non-English TH-cam content creator to do a video on Obsession that I have watched who has pronounced the words “valet” and“fleur-de-lis” correctly. Bonus point for you. And another for the pluralisation! Enjoyed the comedy script too - kudos for the work you put in. V enjoyable.
Thank you! Publicly mispronouncing words is a phobia of mine, so I’m glad that it’s appreciated 🤣 Cheers! Happy playing!
Just got Heat on Friday. This video is literally perfect. Thank you!
Awesome! Enjoy the game!
Right. So you got me through Obsession, which I now love, and I'm back for Spirit Island. Every time I hear you say "The ideal player count - one" it just makes me smile. Thanks!!!
That’s amazing! I hope this one helped, too. I love this game!
Brilliant breakdown of these elements of Heat (having seen the previous video too) Thank you, and that's my weekend sorted then... Because, well, I'm an antisocial weirdo... and proud!
Thank you very much! I hope the weekend is great! And you should definitely be proud. You’re comfortable in your own company, and not a lot of people can say that!
@@thegrouchynerd Ha ha! Thank you. Got halfway through the basic Championship today (including slip-streaming through a couple of corners - if only the sponsors had been looking ;-) ) and gonna complete it tomorrow. Thanks again. Your videos really gave me the motivation and confidence to try this. Brilliant!
Great video. Very clear explanation.
Thank you!
Great video! Most TH-camrs’ attempts at humor are cringe but I really dig your dry sense of humor. Your comedic timing is perfect! One of my fav new channels!
Hey, thanks a lot! You’re one of my fav new subscribers!
I waited to watch this until I had the deck in hand and it was worth the wait. I am now patiently waiting for the Mageneto video. I always appreciate your humor and insight. Your videos have become required watching for any hero I haven’t played or am rusty on. 🍻
Hey, I really appreciate that! Enjoy Kurt! I think he's a blast! Unfortunately, I have to ask you to be a bit more patient for Magneto. Holiday travels really messed up my schedule!
@ All good! I can wait! There’s still some videos in your archive I haven’t hit yet! That’ll fill the void!
Thanks for the How To, got me over the hump of the rules dump and no clue of how to even approach the game. Things starting to gel as far as the interconnection of things and yes, how depressing the game becomes. Thanks for the gallows humor - needed to move on to the next turn.
Nice! Enjoy the game! Lots of rules, but once you understand them, they feel very intuitive.
Hey thank you - this was helpful. I just dont get the sponsore card „dramdo breaks“ Does it allow me to choose the number? And do i need to decide beforeni play? Or am i able to decide while i see the result of maybe a stresscard? Thank you
Yes, you choose which value you want to use. It’s the thing you do in step 3, when you reveal your cards. You can resolve the stress cards, then pick which value you want to use on the upgrade.
All global projects are marked as not for solo
At least in the version I bought
Hmm. Might want to look again. On my copy, there’s about 10 that have the no solo symbol, but about 15 that don’t.
@@thegrouchynerd wish I could add photo proof to my reply. Every global card has not for solo under the QR code
Would love to find a list of solo compatible global projects somewhere
Apparently my copy is part of a small misprint run. So any card with sharing or "one player with" are not solo compatible
Thank you for the Legends explanation!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I genuinely think Skilled Investigator is the best card in the game. It’s free, you can play it on anybody, it’s going to get you some card draws for sure. And when a treachery card says you have to discard an upgrade, it’s no big deal to lose it, because it’s free! Any justice deck that doesn’t include at least 1 copy is making a mistake. Pheromones is also one of the best cards in the game. What a great set of cards.
Fully agree!
Here’s hoping the S. H. I. E. L. D. Box gives that Spy trait of hers some work
Yeah, I’m excited for this wave. I wasn’t at first, but the more they reveal, the more I’m into it.
Heeee's baaaack!
🤣 Schedules are hard during the holidays!
Spider-Woman was who I used for my first ally tower deck. Aggression allies with Leadership upgrades get bonkers good.
Oooh, gonna give that a try!
I dont even play this game anymore and yet here i am watching a grouchy nerd :) Playing a Dead-Starlord-Pool deck seems like it would be such a thrill!
That sounds like chaos! Just riding the “could lose at any second as I pile up Encounter Cards” wave until you crash into the villain 😂 Thanks for watching!
Wow what a nice t shirt
Why thanks!
An amazing how to play video! Well done
Thanks! Hope it helped!
@@thegrouchynerd of course it did
I love it. I am going to try Spiderwoman this month. I use these videos every time I try a new hero.
That’s awesome! I really enjoy her. And that Protection/Leadership build is just so fun.
@thegrouchynerd Yeah, I am going to try that and maybe Aggression and every other aspect. Aggression on it's own is kinda bland
we're all going to die 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, but it’s going to get VERY uncomfortable first!
Is your slipstream example at 5:40 correct? You moved three spaces instead of two.
Yes, you are correct. I chose the wrong clip when editing and it continues to haunt me.
Why dodnt we get this for mobile instead of Snap?
Oh man, I would never get anything done if this game was mobile🤣
You have beautiful eyes
Well, thanks!
You've said a few times that Protection is your favorite aspect. Totally agree. So, do you tend to set up a villain and run a bunch of heroes through? or set up a good hero deck and run it through a bunch of villains?
Definitely the latter! Deck building is my least favorite part, so when I find or make one I like, I stick with it for a while.
I love your delivery of this stuff. Definitely going to check out the rest of your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
How do we get the important people to play this game? 😂😬😨
Oh, they will not. You probably already agree with this one if you’re playing it.
I’m not sure if “Existential Dread:the Board Game” is something I’d want to play stuck alone in the lighthouse. But then you brought out the Tubs O’bits and I settled down. I’d get of your lawn but I’ve been sequestered among the taraxacum.
At least it’s pretty and colorful!
Thanks to this video I was finally able to play daybreak on bga, thank you grouchy nerd for once again instilling me with existential dread!
Hey, that’s awesome!
🔥🔥🔥
Alright, I'll buy one! I typically only wear pop culture related "clever" tees, but I'm sure I can find at least ONE nondescript shirt that catches my fancy
I have my fair share of those, too!
It’s 3AM Your point being?
Haha, time for shirts!
Delightful as always. I'm loving the solo game/Marvel Champions release schedule. I have already ordered Daybreak.
Well, I’m about to mess it up 🤣 Probably going to be a few Marvel in a row through the end of the year, cause they’re way easier to do when traveling! Hope you enjoy the game! I think it’s really good!
Awesome overview Nerd! Your hero spotlight vids are my favorite out there. Great insights and I also appreciate the hero lore refresher at the beginning of class. Thanks for going the extra mile.
Hey, thanks!
