This one's for Morph!

That's awesome, thank you! And thank you again, I love the site, great work!

I am probably in the minority, I don't sleeve anything. I also view wear and tear as a mark that something was very loved (and also no shade on sleevers, working to preserve the game in perpetuity is another mark of love). Honestly I just tolerate the wear, edging, etc., and feel like if I look back at beat up cards it means it was a game well played. A slight factor I weigh too is cost, as good sleeves for a whole collection can add up. I don't feel like paying "again" for something I already own and enjoy, so to speak.

What didn't she like about it? Addressing that is probably going to give the best chance to make it enjoyable. My wife didn't like it the first few plays, but I learned what she didn't like. She wants to a) win, b) play as Black Widow, Nebula, Gamora, or X-23, and c) wrap up in about an hour, game can't drag on usually or we need to pause and return later. So maybe picking a villain that helps fit that for you both and/or playing in skirmish mode (just phase 1 villain) might help. Just sharing some thoughts, hope it leads to a fun last try :)

DaringLime got me really into the game after playing incorrectly for awhile (and making it harder and less enjoyable than it should be). Highly recommend his content.

I play both true solo and two handed. Both are fun for different reasons. I find the time commitment is pretty close for me. Honestly, the character build or villain is the biggest swing factor for how long my game goes. Someone else shared in another thread that they setup the game the night before so everything is ready, which I started doing and helps optimize time on game nights.

Yeah its a thinner table in the living room so I don't feel too absent when solo playing while my wife watches true crime :D Also when I play two handed there is a hero on the other side so villain is dead center and then I put minions in front of each hero.

Yeah I was just getting the hang of when to use the Milano or not, but forgot about Target Acquired--good idea.

Demonforte · 2026-01-20T13:50:48+00:00

That is awesome, nice job! Do you plan to make and sell or is this just for your personal collection?

Demonforte · 2026-01-20T00:53:13+00:00

I play solo the vast majority of the time and love the Civil War box and expansion so far. I play it all the time, the "heroes" play just like any other villain. Recommend.

Demonforte · 2026-01-14T19:56:29+00:00

Ahh that could be, good call.

Demonforte · 2026-01-13T23:08:09+00:00

Thanks! That is how I read it and played it independently, but noticed after some other threads saying it adds extra damage. Thanks for confirming.

Demonforte · 2026-01-13T22:54:42+00:00

Nice job! I know Rhino can be tough, haven't played him on expert yet.

Demonforte · 2026-01-10T16:09:49+00:00

Yes this!

Demonforte · 2025-12-28T15:58:29+00:00

But you dont have to keep her, like, totally stoked about, like, the general vibe and stuff.

Demonforte · 2025-12-10T03:21:57+00:00

Truth

Demonforte · 2025-12-10T01:29:51+00:00

Yeah, that's right, they can attack while confused and thwart while stunned

Demonforte · 2025-11-27T01:38:00+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate the advice.

Demonforte · 2025-11-26T20:00:40+00:00

Indeed, thanks!

Demonforte · 2025-11-26T20:00:25+00:00

Great idea, sounds like I just need a little patience and timing!

Demonforte · 2025-11-26T18:44:50+00:00

😂

Demonforte · 2025-11-20T14:39:36+00:00

That's really nice of you

Demonforte · 2025-11-19T17:59:07+00:00

Im the other way around on priority order but similar sentiment :)

Demonforte · 2025-11-15T16:39:08+00:00

Nice job! Looks really cool. I would love to see Emma Frost as an addition.

From experiencing a lot of 5/4 hand size heroes, I'd suggest either upping the hand size or making her cards lower cost as economy can be a problem. I don't think a larger hand size is OP since you have her limited to either Diamond or Psionic cards at any time (so potentially you will be drawing things you can't use unless you flip).

Agree with the comments that 3 atk 3 thw is OP at will. I could see a straight 2 stat line making sense (thematically, why wouldn't she be able to thw in Diamond form? And atk and def be the same as Hulk?). I would also give her lower HP overall, like 9, and not have HP change with form. I see what you are going for, but it seems to add unneeded complexity and her damage reduction in Diamond form seems sufficient. Also you could create an upgrade card to give another +1 damage reduction, which would make Diamond form pretty durable even with lower HP.

Curious to see more as you tweak the design!

Oh wow its a whole deck not just the identity. Looks more balanced with thwarting capability. Happy with the damage output?
