So far out of the expansion, Mim is my favorite to play as and considering Sword in the Stone is one of my all time favorite Disney movies, I was so happy the game makers did her justice. Super fun!
She's my favorite too. But my only gripe with her is that there will be turns where you can't do anything. Either I couldn't fund my transformation cards or anything to help me draw into the deck to find what I need.
We might need a video of how to counter madam mim, im of the opinion that shes the strongest villain now. -can fate every turn -fates dont set her back much -her allies each come with their own vanquish
I feel like Mim is weirdly new comer friendly. Assuming she is their first character, the plan is very simple, the matching system of transformations makes her combat system straightforward, and her fate deck is not all that bad. Her complexity really only hits those who have played the game before, as she plays almost like a completely new game in comparison to others, especially other combat focused characters. As far as expansions go, she is the only one I feel comfortable handing new comers
Mim is really cool. I think Syndrome is my favourite due to the complexities and how rewarding it feels when you achieve victory with him. His conditions are also super fun to utilize
Sword in the Stone is one of my least favorite Disney movies, but I’m glad Madam Mim was added! She was a fan favorite pick so I’m sure she made a lot of people happy.
Madam Mim is my new favorite second to only Pete probably. I feel like I can really tone her gameplay to a tee if I gave enough time with the game these days. How would you compare her to the other villains? Actually, the latest 6, I have no clue where they might rank except Gaston being low and Mim being high? A strength tier list would be great lol.
It can help for sure! Depends on how rude other players want to be too. You can always choose to not take power as an opponent - so if you want to deny it you can.
@@LordoftheBoard I agree, but also not taking power hinders board development hard unless you have a power lead, but at that point big as a house has probably already triggered.
Thanks for the video! My biggest issue, when playing against Madam Mim, is that I find it really hard to cover any of her top actions. She can easily just pop to the Cottage and move the Merlin Transformations out of the way, often faster than you can move them into the way. I also think not being able to block any of her Fate actions makes her too powerful. If she has to take a little while to gather up Power or Discard before making progress, she can still ALWAYS Fate her opponent too, so the opponent doesn't catch much of a break. Any tips on how to defeat her? (I guess the top actions are more likely to be covered in 3- or more player games, but I mostly play 2-player, and find her really difficult to beat.
It is tough. Its more just ensuring you can reshuffle that Merlin Transformation back in the deck. Dont feel bad fating her every turn if you have too.
I know this is a late response, but her main counter is that she can be resource-starved. For 4 power she can defeat any Merlin transformation using I’ll Make The Rules, but she only gets power consistently from As Big As A House, a condition card that activates when an opponent gains 2 or more power. If you can race ahead of her in power gains, you can delay her getting power by not gaining it yourself. However, since she can fate every turn, this does make it a bit hard since you may be forced to gain power to deal with fates. Having two unblockable fate actions really helps her fight against players who try to avoid that condition, so you just have to try your best to manage that situation.

I find Mim to be quite easy against the others in this box. She wins almost 9/10 times at our table when against only B&B villains
She's my favorite too. But my only gripe with her is that there will be turns where you can't do anything. Either I couldn't fund my transformation cards or anything to help me draw into the deck to find what I need.
I am so glad Mim made it into the game! And, as always, I am so impressed by your production value. Everything looks and sounds great!
Thanks so much friend! Yes she is easily my favorite character in this set too! Such a blast to play.
You're strategy guides always make my day. Good work!
So glad to hear that :)
I think this is one of my favorite villains, thematically, I loved the mechanic of the dueling wizards, and the art seems gorgeous!
It is currently my favorite of the set! :)

Try some matches between mim and Ratigan! Also I’ll consider a counter guide
Love these vids and the work that gets put into them. Keep up the great work 😁
Glad you like them!

Great video today
Glad you enjoyed it

She's wonderful.
Advice: always assume that wretched Bird Arthur is at the top of the deck. Lol
Haha this is a good point 😂
I informed my peeps to watch your videos for strategy and game mechanics.
I appreciate that so much! :)
You are welcome
Which of the three villains in this expansion is your favorite?
Probably Madam Mim :)
@@LordoftheBoard I really liked playing Syndrome, but when I played Madam Mim, it was very enjoyable.
I think i know witch villain is gonna be easy to play in this expansion.
Love it
I’m so happy we’ve got Pixar villains finally, who do you think we’ll get in the next expansion?
No idea. but i really hope we get HOPPER

Im as big as a house really defeats her weakness in power gain, especially bc of its multiple copies.

So I can vanquish a transformation even when mine isn’t at the same location? That’s insane 😮
That confused as well. Would love some clarification on that
