A small correction, it says that Azazel is dealt to you as a "Facedown Encounter" card when you defeat Brimstone, so regardless of whether he was already defeated or is in play he would get flipped facedown and essentially refreshed. So in both cases he gets to quickstrike you again, unless you flip down to Alter Ego to avoid it. So any damage and status's you put on him disappear. Note that this would also remove any villain attachments on him as well. Edit: The part in question is at 12:35
Northstar is slowly becoming one of my favorite allies to play in protection. Such a beneficial ally, especially in multiplayer. If you're not using it on yourself, you can use it to help your teammates (sometimes friends). Plus, there is no exaust, so you can do it over and over and over again (till he's dead). Whats not to love? Thankful for anouther ally you want to keep around and not use to chump block.
@TheOlops yeah, I do think he’s much more balanced. I don’t get the same feeling that you could pick 25 cards at random and still make a winning deck like I do with Strange.
Nightcrawler is another reason I prefer to play 2H. As much as I enjoy the shenanigans he regularly performs during the villain phase, the lad excels at mere nibbling damage and can get swamped by minions. His lean into Protection means any other aspect feels like adding to his difficulty with little additional benefit. Not the top of this cycle but certainly not the bottom. It just so happens I was elbows deep into my collection working on my Nightcrawler deck when this video dropped. Get out of my head, demon.

Correction to which part of the video?
@@shylevari ? The part of the video where he is discussing Azazel?
@@willfoltz Yeah I asked which part so I wouldn't have to watch the whole video again. at around 12:30. Yeah I see it now, good call :)
@@shylevari Ah apologies I was too dense to understand the aim of your request. I'll edit my comment to include the timestamp as well thanks.
@@willfoltz no worries! it's the curse of the tone-less internet commenting, everyone assumes everyone else is trying to get them :)
NIghtcrawler was always one of my favorites also. I love the history of the character you do before the card review. Super entertaining as always.
Thanks!!

Yeah, he’s so useful, it’s ridiculous!
Part of the reason I love this series (and binge watch videos), is the mini-biographies on each character. Great work. Keep up the stellar revues!
I love the video. I think Nightcrawler is the new master of Protection. He just fits the aspect so well.
Thanks!
I fully agree. They just knocked it out of the park with this one.
@@thegrouchynerd When I saw some of his cards I was a bit worried we'd have another Dr. Strange, but I feel he is balanced.
@TheOlops yeah, I do think he’s much more balanced. I don’t get the same feeling that you could pick 25 cards at random and still make a winning deck like I do with Strange.
@@thegrouchynerd Lol, that is the greatest review of Doctor strange.
You have to find your tail you killed me with this joke 🤣🤣🤣
😜
Gunboat Diplomacy doesn’t look at the ATK value of the two characters. It uses THW for both the attack and the thwart.
Whoops! Well, I’ll still probably never use it.
@@thegrouchynerd shame. It’s a great card. :) but yes, probably better for multiplayer.
I’m bound to make a friend one of these days!
@@thegrouchynerd haha. I’d be happy to play on Tabletop Simulator if you’re ever interested.
@danomcardle7634 I appreciate that, and will keep that in mind!!

Oh, my bad, I thought you wanted me in here. I’ll pack my things.
I wouldn’t complain normally but it’s the tail, man.
WOW.
Bamf! Heading out right now to get this...great video!
Heck yeah! Have fun ‘porting around!
I knew you were gonna use that nightcrawler joke at the start. Lol
I mean, it’s that or a pile or worms 😂

Ha! Nooooo!
Well, he is German, right? That kinda sounds more German to me now
😂
