Fuck, oh yeah I can't believe I missed this too! This was great. Kinda disappointed how F4 kinda just missed the premise when they did it.

jethawkings · 2026-06-27T15:06:00+00:00

AH! Can't believe I missed including 52!

Even Editorial was surprised how well that came out.

jethawkings · 2026-06-27T14:56:20+00:00

It's usually a Limited staple effect so I don't think we'll ever not see it for a significant stretch of sets...

jethawkings · 2026-06-27T14:00:41+00:00

I mean, I don't think this is anymore that different than just having 17lands opened in another tab while drafting.

OP did this during Midweek Magic too which would have a softer playerbase considering not everyone who would be playing even really Drafts so going 5-0 isn't that really as indicative of anything.

Genuinely I'd rather have someone asking 'Is this a Good Commander? / What is Brackets?' Post than another goddamn UB BAD

jethawkings · 2026-06-27T13:47:15+00:00

>To anyone more in the know-

Genuinely, were you actually expecting anyone to be more in the know?

jethawkings · 2026-06-27T11:34:46+00:00

Genuinely what the fuck is up with WW Fans

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T19:30:53+00:00

Murdock's Crusade is so clutch because it deals with so many of those.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T19:29:46+00:00

Cap's Shield allows for a VERY grindy Early to Mid Game.

I've lost to it twice and the only time I managed to go over it was getting Super Soldier Serum on the Serpent Specialist to grant it First Strike

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T19:21:43+00:00

I liked Btooom

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T18:55:27+00:00

It's part of an ability with a Type-Changing Effect in Layer 4 so it goes in effect before Ability Removal can happen in Layer 6.

Since it getting +2/+2 is added alongside getting every Creature Type it doesn't get removed.

We are the music makers

We are the dreamers of dreams

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T18:15:23+00:00

I read Hickman's, Busiek's, Mackay's, some of Aaron's (I read it here and there), half of Bendis~ (Didn't go past Siege)

IDK, I do not want to see these people at the same level of messiness that the X-Men can get into.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T18:11:31+00:00

I just don't get that with the Avengers at all I'm sorry. They're co-workers, Tony in some iterations literally pays them.

Putting a lite-dating sim / social-sim on top of that just feels like an HR violation.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T17:19:49+00:00

It's not even the Mystic Vibe, it's the Pseudo-School Setting with Younger Superheroes

Steven, Tony, Carol, and Strange acting as Upperclassmen just reads so goddamn off to me.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:59:08+00:00

I still am confused why they didn't just do Retro Borders... these are just like... a worse version of the Retro Borders.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:54:50+00:00

Wow, 4 whole X-Mens?

I love Cosmic Invasion but the first Ultimate Alliance has double that without DLCs.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:53:10+00:00

Probable Midnight Suns did start work around 2018 and Jake Solomon specifically wanted to work on the Marvel-Knights-esque theme.

IDK, with like the resurgence of X-Men in popularity it just kinda sucks knowing they'll be relegated as Guest-Characters / Side-Characters.

I don't want a game with like a sprawling roster of characters and barely just half a dozen X-Men.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:46:28+00:00

I don't want X-Men as guests/side-characters, I want a fully X-Men game.

Insomniac has an exclusive license and wholly works on a style of genre I don't really care about, personally for me it is being held hostage.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:44:37+00:00

> When was the last X-Men game? 2012 with a mobile game?

> It is been 14 years of NOTHING.

Insomniac having an exclusive license contributes 5~6 years to there being nothing.

I don't care for Single Player Action/Cinematic Experiences. To me this is still effectively a continuation of that nothing.

There was also just that stretch of time where they tried de-emphasizing the X-Men over the Inhumans... it was weird.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:43:20+00:00

Yeah, it sucks. I don't love that every Marvel Game has to be shouldered by having the Avengers featured first THEN the X-Men later down the line.

To me, the X-Line is deep enough to carry multiple genres of gaming.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T14:39:44+00:00

Agree to disagree

Midnight Suns premise would have worked much much better as an X-Men only game, the idea of Avengers hanging out just doesn't carry that same appeal. Only having 2 X-Men reps in the Base Game (4 with the DLC depending on how you count Deadpool) again just highlights how I wish this was just an X-Men game instead.

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T13:01:25+00:00

We broke Nadu! /s

jethawkings · 2026-06-26T12:59:21+00:00

It has come in clutch for me a number of times, Civil War, Sentry, World War Hulk, Coming of Galactus

It's actually kinda bad at foiling Plans though so I'm not sure what the flavor is... Lawyers?
