this is all iwished for (thank you genie), i am not too much into marvel and honestly i dont really like the ip stuff in general but this set seems so amazing 2 really exciting creative and fun looking characters, honestly i wouldn't care if one of these becomes the best character, because they both seem very interactive to play against (maybe houdini a little less, but still quite much), honestly these kinda feel like achilles levels of fun(you can tell i like achilles, haha)
Yes I agree I prefer public domain stuff as well. And they knocked it out of the park with this set. Both characters are definitely not broken which is good. And very interactive. And Achilles is pretty cool haha
You've got great diction and masterful delivery of information, very captivating! People could learn a thing or two here on how to present themselves in speech.
Well remember it only triggers that auto damage if you lose the combat. So "I grant you death" would be better for that purpose. Though Genie does have a lot of little ping damage to get rid of token sidekicks.
Question about the Houdini tactic:" if an effect makes the opponents look at tour hand" means that the effect has JUST to look at your hand or it can be used even against the "Look and discard"? That would be a big difference
Yes Leandro is right. It cancels all effects on a scheme, and all effects within the same step (IMMEDIATELY, DURING COMBAT, or AFTER COMBAT) on a combat card.
@@EliteBadFrog I would love to! Though I reserve voting for MotM for the Patrons, so ultimately they get to decide the matchups chosen. Although I could totally do a stream of Genie vs Top Tiers on Twitch and save that VOD.
Can you boost big reveal and get back a card with bonus boosting effect? To trigger boosting effect twice or to use effect of misdirection but get it back to hand after?
No worries! I don't think I am going to be uploading them to RUclips due to the time it takes to edit them, but I have saved them in a playlist on Twitch. Here is a link if you'd like to go watch them! www.twitch.tv/zeroskatr12/videos
I think you could do super broken genie turn if you let some attack you twice play the card the let’s you draw 3 twice then just play 2 of the wish as draw 5 third one as all cards are 4 then play those cards that let you get actions if you discard your card
"The Big Reveal"s during combat effect, I don't see that you have to boost it 2 times IF you choose to boost it. Maybe in the rulebook, it is said that you can't just boost it once, but on the card text, it doesn't say that. "This Is Not Parlor Trick" against Simbad. All his cards have boost 1, plus his voyage cards don't have boost value. It's stronger than you think.
Haha Parlor trick may be good against Sinbad. But most of the time it's bad because it's too risky. And Big reveal says you may boost this card twice. Not 1 or 2 times. But I have gotten clarification from Justin the designer himself.
Thanks! And it's definitely more useful, but I wouldn't say better. Mary gets it for free which actually gives her extra value and tempo. Genie has to give up a card which lowers his overall deck output, but he can time it much better since it's basically any turn he wants it. So overall I would definitely say Genie's is more effective.
One of the most beautiful box of Unmatched since the creation of the game! Everything is wonderful! The box, the cards, the circles of life points. Limit the only thing I would have to complain about is the map which is too dull.
@@zeroskatr12 Yes gameplay level I like a lot too! This is clearly the box that I expect the most since the box on London tales. But unfortunately I will have to wait between 6 months and 1 year to have the French version.
I would love to post more frequently. Wish I was big enough to just hire an editor haha. But yeah, I will be doing a tier list sometime soon with the tournament wrapping up!
Genie might need to be careful against gaze of stone. All pure defense cards lose to it, one versatile makes it even stronger by 2, and prisoner's torment will draw just 1 card. With +2 to attack modifier on Marvel maps only way to stop it is feint.
Oh yeah that's what makes the Medusa matchup very scary. Though when I played it I seemed to have plenty of defense cards to block Gaze since Medusa has to be really careful of when she actually goes in to attack.
Based on their special abilities I realy wanna play Houdini vs the invisible man, with both combatants zipping across the map. Based on Houdini's deck I wanna take him on with Bigfoot.
I have done Houdini vs Bigfoot and I don't think Houdini has the defenses to handle Bigfoot's consistently huge attacks. The Invisible Man matchup sounds funny haha
Yep I agree. A lot of boost attacks to get over Deduce, and the ability to teleport around Watson and stay aggressive on Sherlock. I want to test that one out more.
Goodiny looks pretty strong, but Genie looks like a weaker version of bullseye, who is not a top himself, with only chance to win is to empty enemy hand with wishes.
You're sort of right. Though even if that is Genie's main win condition, it can definitely be done. I've tested against many strong fighters already like Yennenga, Medusa, Sherlock, Bigfoot, Trex, Achilles, Moon Knight, and Luke.
@@zeroskatr12 your experience is obviously much more valuable than mine expression from just reading the cards, but genie seems pretty vulnerable in so many ways, that I cant imagine him being competitive. But I'm almost always wrong in my predictions, so...
@@ПешкоМихаил I have some slight concerns much like you do. I'm not sure if my opponents just haven't caught on to the counterplay yet. But I'm going to keep testing and see!
I definitely don't think that is true. The first 4-5 boxes had Medusa, Bigfoot, and Sherlock. Three of the most powerful fighters in the game. And after having tested both Genie and Houdini a decent amount, they are definitely not OP. They are good but have their weaknesses. Plus they are difficult to play.
Yeah I did go over how it works, but I guess I didn't discuss actual gameplay implications. I guess I didn't really play as Houdini yet so I didn't find any specific examples of situations.
Hello, opponents. Look at your hand, now back to me, now back at your hand, now back to me. Sadly, it doesn’t exist, but if you stopped using legacy characters and switched to power creep, you could play like you’re me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the power creep your deck could be like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s a Genie with two Three Wishes, a thing you love. Look again, the cards are now card advantage. Anything is possible when your deck smells like power creep and not a legacy character. I’m on a flying carpet.
Genies cards do not make sense. He is ranged yet most of his cards force him to be melee to make them work. Super contradictory. Smh houdini all the way the boost king
The adjacency requirement is to balance him. Otherwise he would be way too good. Now you have to make a choice whether you want to try to get the extra auto damage effects by being adjacent. But of course that makes you more vulnerable to opposing counter attacks.
@@cameronhalnaisTV I think there were multiple versions of him that were OP, one I heard was when his ability to discard and gain an action could be used whenever Genie wanted during his turn, instead of having to decide it at the start of his turn.
Hi, I do like your videos, but one thing I dislike, and that is the background music. Could you please not have any music in your videos. It is interesting enough without music and it is easier to concentrate on what you are accually talking about, at least for me.
Hmm, that's an interesting point. I have recently tried to turn the music volume down to make it less distracting. I wonder if others share that same opinion.
Gin looks very weak, a lot of cards are frankly weaker than analogues. It seems like he should press at the expense of endless good and 3 actions, but how such damage is not observed on the cards. And the enemy will just constantly run away and you will run out of cards. If 1 of the desires had a strength level of 6, not 4, and so all attacking cards are almost with a strength of 4. Then maybe it would be possible. Also, the protective cards are frankly weak.
Yes the defenses for Genie are pretty weak and so are the attacks. But the aggressive pressure that he can put on the opponent makes him quite strong. His defenses being weak don't matter if the opponent is actually just running away the whole game.
The Genie disappointed me and I think that his deck is just trash. No high values, insanely underpowered and just a mediocre F Tier. However, I still enjoy Unmatched, and I liked Houdini's deck.
Well I heard they had to nerf him a bunch because he was OP in playtesting. I do agree that a lot of his deck is trash, but no way is he an F-tier. I think he's just hard to play but has a really high ceiling. Can win any matchup.
Okay, someone on the design team is a massive Houdini fan.
Stellar set here! The art and mechanics with these characters look so cool. Definitely the most hyped I've been for a set since BoL2
Same! I can't wait to start streaming games with them.
Some really interesting mechanics and stellar art on this set. Might become one of the best!
I really think it might be one of the best sets ever.
Love both heroes! But love boosting attacks so with extra boost effects Houdini might become my favorite character!
I really like both too, but have way more experience with Genie. I gotta start playing more Houdini.
this is all iwished for (thank you genie), i am not too much into marvel and honestly i dont really like the ip stuff in general but this set seems so amazing 2 really exciting creative and fun looking characters, honestly i wouldn't care if one of these becomes the best character, because they both seem very interactive to play against (maybe houdini a little less, but still quite much), honestly these kinda feel like achilles levels of fun(you can tell i like achilles, haha)

You've got great diction and masterful delivery of information, very captivating! People could learn a thing or two here on how to present themselves in speech.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the preview. I've never played Unmatched, but this still looks like a must buy for us Houdini nuts just for that cool Houdini figurine.
My pleasure! Unmatched is super easy to pick up and play. So of course I would definitely recommend getting this set once it's released!
Thanks for this presentation ! The characters look awesome. I prefer Houdini because he looks more unique though :) ! Can't wait to play them
YAAAAAAS. THE MOST EXCITING PART OF THIS VIDEO WAS THE TAZ REVEAL
Haha glad you liked it! I couldn't believe I never had him on before 😅
Очень крутые персонажи, спасибо за обзор.
Thanks for watching!
Персонажи действительно мощные
I playtested this set a while ago and The Genie was BROKEN. I'm glad they nerfed him a bit, he bullied Houdini really bad it wasn't fair lmao
Haha yes I'm glad as well because I heard horror stories. I would have hated him if he was like that. But now I love him haha
"Careful what you wish for" may be good for attacking 1hp sidekicks while other is sitting adjacent, so you kill 2 for 1.
Well remember it only triggers that auto damage if you lose the combat. So "I grant you death" would be better for that purpose. Though Genie does have a lot of little ping damage to get rid of token sidekicks.
Question about the Houdini tactic:" if an effect makes the opponents look at tour hand" means that the effect has JUST to look at your hand or it can be used even against the "Look and discard"? That would be a big difference
both effects
Yes Leandro is right. It cancels all effects on a scheme, and all effects within the same step (IMMEDIATELY, DURING COMBAT, or AFTER COMBAT) on a combat card.
“back in the lamp” only has 4 healing later in the game though, early game it is pretty bad I would imagine right? And you always lose the combat too…
Yeah always losing the combat can be bad in certain matchups. And if you're not a 12hp or less then you should avoid playing it.
@@zeroskatr12 would it be possible for you to do Match up of the month(s) with Genie vs a top tier? Would love to see what you can do with him!
@@EliteBadFrog I would love to! Though I reserve voting for MotM for the Patrons, so ultimately they get to decide the matchups chosen. Although I could totally do a stream of Genie vs Top Tiers on Twitch and save that VOD.
Can you boost big reveal and get back a card with bonus boosting effect? To trigger boosting effect twice or to use effect of misdirection but get it back to hand after?
Yes. So in theory you could use the auto damage from misdirection 5 times total in a game.
Love them cannot wait until they came out in Poland (we are super behind).
I hope you don't have to wait too long! What is your most recent release?
@@zeroskatr12 red hood one but we get it as a wave with the sherlock holmes one.

Nice that Houdini has tools to survive triple wish discard since potentially can get 2 cards back and defense card can save from death
Yes there are so many cool little interactions between these 2 specifically. Makes for such a fun in-box experience.
Excited realising these two fighters will join Unmatched Digital.
Yes I'm so much more excited for public domain fighters because of that haha
do we know when it’ll be dropping for us in the US?
Not a specific date. Pre-orders from Restoration should ship sometime in October and retail date in November.
I think I just found a new main in Houdini.
I don't think you're alone in that. He is very cool!
Do you get boost effects when boosting movement?
Yes you do! It makes the boost tricks very versatile and tons of fun in my opinion.
Hype hype hype
Great review! :)
In your opinion, is genie's action gain ability better than mary's?
Thanks! And it's definitely more useful, but I wouldn't say better. Mary gets it for free which actually gives her extra value and tempo. Genie has to give up a card which lowers his overall deck output, but he can time it much better since it's basically any turn he wants it.

Here it comes
One of the most beautiful box of Unmatched since the creation of the game!
Everything is wonderful! The box, the cards, the circles of life points.
Limit the only thing I would have to complain about is the map which is too dull.
The art on the map may be dull but I really like the actual layout for gameplay.
@@zeroskatr12 Yes gameplay level I like a lot too!
This is clearly the box that I expect the most since the box on London tales.
But unfortunately I will have to wait between 6 months and 1 year to have the French version.
@@gyldermist6668 ah that's quite a long time. Well worth the wait though!

Genie is solo and Houdini has Bess
@@zeroskatr12 cool thank you
I still believe this set to be the best set ever!
It's definitely up there! Along with King and Country I think.
Is there somewhere I can preorder?
Yes on the official Restoration site. I have the link in the description. It'll be up for pre-order tomorrow.
Unmatched is great and all, but I'm here for Taz content.
Taz loves his fans ❤
..and crinkles 😂
Imagine Mr Invisible vs Houdini, he'd get totally wrekt
He couldn't run away that well, but I'm actually a little curious about this matchup. I'll have to try it and see how it goes.

Love Genie 👌
Hoping to see them in a match soon. 😁
Hope you caught some of my stream today because I played many games showcasing both of them!
@@zeroskatr12 i only watch on YT :(
Where do u stream? It wont be in YT? :(
@@jaydeestrong ah well it's on my twitch channel. You can go back and watch the VOD if you'd like. twitch.tv/zeroskatr12

@@EliteBadFrog noooooo 😭
Hopefully it doesn't take too long for you!
I like Houdini's sidekick almost doesn't have any special cards.
Yeah she is just used to body block and swap in with Smoke and Mirrors I think haha
@@zeroskatr12 and that's actually nice. I found such useless sidekicks a big pain in ass. 'Cause you don't want waste cards on them
