This is a great list of heroes. I'll curious what you think of Bishop when you try him. I was surprised at how much I ended up liking him. I personally play every hero pretty much equally because I track my plays on a spreadsheet and play each hero twice (standard and expert) against each villain in each aspect. It gives it a "season" feel that somehow motivates me to play. Thanks for the video!
I need to finish recording SP//dr Suit through Sinister Motives and then I'll start working on Bishop! He looks like a lot of fun, but I already had some builds in mind when Magik was spoiled, so I've been tweaking and iterating on her almost non-stop since AoA released! I like your "season" idea, and was just telling Rey today that I was thinking about running Magik through every villain!
“Containment Immunity” would be interesting to see….but I guess we can make do with her Contaminant Immunity instead 😅😜😉 Great video! Love your content.
I like your list a lot. With my own limited card pool, i have unexpectedly really loved playing Vision more than any other heroes i own. Im not a huge fan of the character but i just really like how he plays. He has a nice slew of thwarts and attack events, some more specialized like removing attachments, a really strong ally, and his forms both feel pretty effective. I will say, i always thought his "cannot defend" in intangible form meant cannot exhaust to defend, so i had been playing protection defend events with him since they were in his precon. However, you can still make protection work with cards like Subdue which dont have the defense keyword. Also, i like his form changing better than the others i have tried simply because you get to choose when to switch. I like Spectrum as well, but her events dictate what form you are in; Vision is the other way around. Anyways, he is fun, strong in all aspects, and great in multiplayer
Vision is pretty fun, I just don't play him a lot. I LOVE Phase Disruption and yeah his ally is crazy good. I haven't built a Sidekick deck with him yet, but I bet it would be pretty good!
Totally share your opinion on Spider Woman and Gamora. I love them for solo play especially. I don't own the others 3, but I'm really interested in Storm for Multiplayer !
Gamora was the first hero I played a lot of games with. I didn't get into MC until right before The Mad Titan's Shadow came out, so I had a lot of heroes to play to "catch up" lol. But when I first played Gamora I thought she might be my forever hero LOL. Then down the line I thought Storm might become my forever hero. Now, IF I had to pick a forever hero it would be Magik! I haven't played any Multiplayer games, but I'd say Storm would be a lot of fun in multi.
I really want to play Gamora more!! She is so much fun but I've not mastered her yet...Jessica Drew I absolutely love! In no particular order, my 5 most played would be - Wolverine, Hulk, Quicksilver and Thor!:p not necessarily my favourites...but at some point I was obsessed with playing then, which racked up the plays....I think with Hulk I was trying to find ways to make him work, hence the high play count (I.e love the character, so I WANTED it to work lol)
I played Quicksilver a LOT when I first got him! I've not had a lot of success with Hulk, but I know that's because I gave up on him too quickly. I need to play him some more!
You've inspired me to stick to one hero more, to really get go know them... there's so much variety in the game i tend to play one hero a few times and then move on to the next one.... I'll try sticking to one hero, and really work to understand them and master them.... only question now is...which one? Haha...
I did that a lot when I still had a bunch of unplayed heroes. Now that I've played them all I can take more time with the new ones as they come out. Magik has been so much fun! I've played her well over 50 times now but am still learning how to play her optimally!
@solomarvelchampion slept on it...and thinking on focusing on Cyclops and getting him to hum!...excited to really get into his kit and play him a huge number of times!
@@Rey_Plays_Games I think after I've had all the fun I'm going to have with Magik I'm going to go back and give Hulk a fair chance. I've only played 2 or 3 games with him because I gave up too easily!
@solomarvelchampion He's definitely worth it!!...especially now with some of the newer cards...I love playing him with the SHIELD archetype...!:p ...also....Standard II SUCKS!!!...Just recorded a playtrhrough with Cyclops v Sandman...Dark Dealings got me again...should have put Stepford Cuckoos in play earlier :p
Good list! I'm playing SP//dr through Sinister Motives right now, and if I make this list again next year she'll probably be on it! I'd only played her a few times before. Next Thursday (4th of July) I have a Captain America versus Red Skull game scheduled. He's really fun too, I just hadn't played him much in the past.
Have you played much of Cyclops? With the deck I play, which doesn't lean super heavy into Allies, I find that there are quite a lot of card-sequencing puzzles to work out. He has cards that pull from deck and discard etc you might enjoy him
I played one deck with him a lot but haven't gone back to him since. I was playing a Phoenix recursion deck which was a lot of fun. Play Phoenix and grab Tactical Brilliance. Play that and grab Rapid Response. Use up Phoenix and Rapid Response her back in to grab Tactical Brilliance... Yeah he has some fun sequencing, I just haven't played him as much as some other heroes! marvelcdb.com/decklist/view/31349/a-baker-s-dozen-of-recursion-1.0 Do you have a link to yours?
I think for me it's Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Captain America. After those old ones, who I go back to still, some of Venom, Scarlet Witch, Peter Porker and Rocket. X23 and now Bishop got a ton of play but they're years behind.
What is it about her that keeps you from playing her? The first time I played her I thought she was clunky, but that's probably because of how I was building her. It wasn't until right at the end of 2022 that I tried her again and started to really enjoy her!
What a sexist list!! j/k recently played both Magik and Domino for the first time and really enjoyed them. I don't remember thinking much of Gamora so I'll have to get her back out
I almost clipped a few seconds of "Single Ladies" (Beyonce) to play over the video in several places but didn't want to get a copyright strike LOL. Gamora can be a lot of fun because she doesn't need a lot of building to be good since she gets a little extra "oomph" out of attack and thwart events. When you can play a cheap thwart event followed by Decisive Blow... chef's kiss!
I've been a Packers fan since 1992 :) But it always feels good to knock the Cowboys out of the playoffs. I went into that game thinking they couldn't cover Ceedee Lamb though. I'm a pessimist when it comes to the Packers!

These five seem to have something in common, I just can't seem to figure out what....

I recently started playing Magik and she shot into my top 5. She also beat ronin easily in protection
@@andrewww3389 yeah she's a ton of fun and pretty powerful!

@@Rey_Plays_Games Cyclops is a great one to focus on for sure! There are a lot of fun thins you can do with him because of his ally mix!

I started playing Gamora and she is fun.
My personal top 5: Hulk, Thor, Sp//dr, Spiderman, Captain America 👍

I was surprise that I played Magik so many times already! I LOVE her ability!!!!!
Spiderwoman would be in my top 5 least played heroes list 😅

Are you a "real" Green Bay Packers fan, or just like them when they beat up on my Cowboys? HAHA
