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.
This made my day so much better
This end-game state shows one of the biggest problems with Hulk. He doesn't build. There's no good being able to occasionally deal huge damage if you can't solve any of the other problems the game throws up at you.
Watching this again reminds me how much I love Black Tom Cassidy. Such a perfect Modular. The stuns slow everything down, then Black Tom himself and Making Green pile on the pain.
Yeah he can be added into any scenario to ramp it up
Yes! This is one of my favorites too. Until I get dealt one of the cards. Then I hate it!
Great win guys! I was wondering what you had planned to do with Otto Spider Man Steve. Some clever way to get him into play? 😂 Nope!
Sometimes reading is HARD :)
Bananas all right. That has to be one of the most absurd games I've ever watched. Bravo gents, take a bow!!!
Thank you
Fun story time! So interesting how there are so many paths and storylines that can be taken when discussing characters that have been around seeming forever. I agree with the remarks about the app being a struggle to navigate. I have difficulty with finding things all the time.
Nice one! Thanks for setting up and doing the live plays. I agree with BGL that his pre-con is a bit expensive. Once he builds up, he often has the money for some expensive cards - it's just hard in solo with his low thwart to take the time to build a lot.
Fantastic issue gentlemen - loved the lore, Mike, truly top notch!
This game was BANANAS! The Maximum Effort at the end was just spectacular :) - so good with Symbiote Suit out.
Wasn't it? I really though the villains were finally going to win one
If groot get the superpower feedback, it would remove all of his growth counters. No matter how many he has
Ooo nice.
I give it 2 weeks and that collar will be right back on again.
Being generous
Watching this reminded me how much I disliked the Aggression Precon for Ice Man.
Pre-cons are all fairly rough, you might not have the optimal number of cards, etc I enjoy playing the pre-cons at least a few times.
Getting some serious deja vu! These cards remind of some that were revealed earlier... 😉 (The image fix is good, I did wonder why it wasn't on screen until later!)
He BAMFed away the first time!
Definitely looking forward to Nightcrawler. We just started a new gauntlet run with Bishop (A) and Jubilee (J).
Huh, looks like the video is missing an image! Fixing.
Does Brimstone Strike make him quick strike if he is already engaged with you? Quick strike triggers when a minion engages you and the rules for engage say "While a minion is engaged with a player, card abilities cannot cause the minion to engage with the same player again (as the two are already engaged)."
Great question! Yes, he quickstrikes as he effectively re-engages you - it's under the "Find" rules in the 1.6 rules reference. I found a weird paragraph under those "Find" rules that, at the time, we couldn't figure out what it was for. It's for this nemesis set! Here is the full entry: If a player is instructed to “find and reveal” a minion that is already in play, that player engages that minion and resolves any keywords and/or triggered abilities that resolve as a result of that minion being revealed
See what VillainTheory said, that's our reading of it too.
Yeah it's odd because the find rules then say "That minion is considered to engage that player unless it was already engaged with that player." So he doesn't re engage...but agree he ought to attack even if the rules aren't completely clear since otherwise the card does nothing
Since it says to resolve all keywords as if revealed, it looks like Quickstrike does trigger again. But if Thor was engaged with Azazel, he wouldn't draw 2 more cards with his Have At Thee response for engaging the minion since he was already engaged with it (and thus does not actually re-engage it). It's definitely odd and I can see a lot of people getting confused when Nightcrawler releases! But it seems to check out.
@@VillainTheoryah...that makes sense, they are want the keywords and when revealed affects to go off but not anything else which triggers on engagement.
Wow I wish I got a special note with my spoilers!! Awesome reveal, thanks for sharing these. I love the Brimstone Strike card, agreed that it's amazing. Love how Azazel keeps teleporting in and out. He's going to be a consistent threat once Shadow of the Past/Pursued by the Past first triggers.
We'll never know who wrote that note :)
Fun fact...Satan is a title in the Bible as well. It isn't an actual name and it beens the one who stands opposed.
What I took from this is that comics are a special kind of crazy! Great episode guys. I'm a big fan of the On The Run scenario and it was fun to learn more
Oh yeah, some things are pretty grounded and relatable and somethings are BANANAS.
What a cool scenario! I like the ally-hate approach. Congrats on the win gents.
Yeah a well done and fun custom scenario
Long time/first time. Love your fun and humorous approach to this game. What made me finally post was Mustafa's opening monologue on luck, migration, and the law. This is a sadly important topic that I am glad that he shared his thoughts on. I say sadly because the US has grown increasingly hostile to refugees and others who flee their homes because they are that desperate. He gives me hope, though with how clearly he explained the problem and that fact that he works on the topic. For anyone reading this, I can recommend a book on this subject. Carly Goodman's Dreamland: America's Immigration Lottery in an Age of Restriction published by University of North Carolina Press. Regarding the game itself, as a longtime player of all things FFG LCG coop card games, I was always struck by identity crisis at the heart of Marvel Champions. Is it casual or crunchy? When it was announced, they made it seem like it was designed to be a casual game (the designers even admit that they limit how complex hero designs are allowed to be), but the underlying mechanics (largely LotR LCG) are crunchy, complex, and fiddly. For example, in the initial release, it was not clear whether "you" referred to the player or the id card. It seemed to be a card by card thing until the Great You Rulings. I think Marvel Legendary offers a comparison here in that Legendary is truly a "beer and pretzels" game while Champions is inherently complex and destined for ever increasingly fiddly rules FAQs and timing rulings that demands sober attention to truly understand. Having said all that, thanks for the very enjoyable podcast and all of the intense work it takes to make it. I really enjoy the skits, the casual discussions, and the fun visual gags. Thanks for helping to make this a community and for making this community so fun and welcoming.
Well played Steve! That dr00 deck is absurd! Will have to give it a go sometime. I had wondered about double Supercharged attacks the other day. Glad to know I guessed correctly for a change.
dr00 makes good decks so always worth a look
GG Steve! nice cheating.
Hey its not cheating if you don't get caught or if you are a hero!
Yeah Maka! the answer at the end of the show... Uhhhh No. 🤣
