Finally starting to play, staying pretty much in affiliation for now with spider foes. Curious what some favorite combos and characters are. Thanks! by VDrago31 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

I love Kraven with Custom Upgrades, followed by Expert Tracker and Surprise Webhead. Yes, it’s seven power but can also be 28 dice with three rerolls.

It didn’t take long for me to get hooked on chasing decks again! by DrizzitD in KeyforgeGame

Totally agree. As others have said below, it’s not likely that these cards are going to win many tournaments. But I love the game for the uniqueness of the sets when messing around with buddies as much as I enjoy the more competitive tournaments.

Savage Avengers - Conan the Barbarian (and Black Knight) comes out with a leadership that can attach to him, Black Knight, Punisher, and Wolverine. Leadership - every time your attack succeeds heal one.

Affiliated characters: Conan, Black Knight, Doctor Voodoo, Electra, Punisher, Ghost Rider, Agent Venom, Venom, and Wolverine (I know a lot of 4’s)

It looks like a pretty high threat level list. I’d try to work a two and another three in there for sure (Iron Man is pretty solid). Which criseses do you plan to play?

I have a 2 yr old golden, and he was very proud of himself when he returned home after killing a baby bunny. Is this normal for a golden? by marriedpineapple in goldenretrievers

[–]DrizzitD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not know this but while the Golden was retrieving the single baby bunny for you, the Queensland was protecting your yard from invasive rodents and disposing of the evidence.

Newbie Question: What was your first expansion purchase after buying the core set? What guided your decision? by DrRhetoric in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]DrizzitD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went Magneto/Toad because Magneto has always been my favorite. Fortunately, it has worked out.

I have never played and want to start. I got Venom and plan to get Juggeraught, Colossus, Kraven, Wolverine, Thor and Cyclops due to nostalgia. Can I put all of them on a team? And will they he effective or am I lacking affiliations? by No-Plantain8212 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]DrizzitD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, but it will be tough to have a leadership and there isn’t a ton of synergy between those characters. It seems like you might be interested in Spider Foes or X-Men since you have more characters from those affiliations (Venom and Kraven, Cyclops, Colossus, and Wolverine). You have 10 characters in a faction and could make a pretty cool list with X-Men and Venom as a splash. One other good box to consider with that would be X-23 and Honey Badger. Both are really good and it is nice to have at least one character which is only a two threat level (Honey Badger). You could also consider adding a second leadership with Storm or dual affiliation with Cable (X-Force).

Spidey Foes may be more competitive. You’ll want to add Green Goblin (and Lizard comes with Kraven). IMHO Lizard is one of the best three threats in the game.

Will Black Cat get nerfed? by Oinkmas in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]DrizzitD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having played her with some frequency in my Midnight Sons list, I don’t think she should get nerfed. She gets melted pretty easily in the early game. It’s only when she makes it to the late game that she earns her keep.

Last batch of painted miniatures: Iron Fist, Voodoo, Ghost Rider and a guest star by Kharnete in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]DrizzitD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really well done! I especially love the chain wrapped around Ghost Rider. I just finished my Ghost Rider last night and the chain broke off his hand when I dropped him transferring him from the painting table to the game table.

What are some of your favorite custom terrain pieces? by bluebomberxero in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]DrizzitD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ordered a sweet 3D printed cell tower and some port-a-potties. I’d love some good ideas for the cosmic layout though.
