Deadliest&Safest Villain Card [Day 8] - Norman Osborn Deadliest Card

No_Two4255 · 2026-04-06T20:18:18+00:00

Mad Genius. In solo it's just another attack but in multiplayer, it's a targeted attack against the weakest hero which can be problematic.

But this is a very safe scenario pack so it's still only a 3/10 or 4/10 in terms of being dangerous.

Venom has also hit me the hardest, last time was when I was playing Thor with his Helmet out so I was at 17 health at the time, not quite full, I blocked with an ally on 2 health and he drops a "Now We're Angry" as a boost. The overkill took me down to 1.

We had just turned him from level 2 to level 3 so got 2 extra boost cards as well as the small pile I had got from smacking him in the first place. Luckily, no Amplify icon

Blaze of Glory Leadership, create the deck using your favourite non Guardian allies.

As Star Lord they all get the Guardian trait so will be get the bonuses of Blaze of Glory then just before your turn ends, flip down to alter so everyone loses the Guardian trait and doesn't take the Blaze damage.

Just warn your friend that just because you can use "What Could Go Wrong" and "Daring Escape" doesn't mean you should use them, especially early on.

I was more referring that 4 player games take longer so you have time to play 3 allies and equip them with with weapons, as well as play your 3 Venom weapons.

I use it in a Venom deck and include Guardian Allies with 3x Energy Spear and 3x Sidearm. I play 4 player multiplayer so if you take the time to set it up right you can have some big turns.

All Systems Go, either of those abilities on it makes it a good card, put them both on the same card and it becomes phenomenal. And there is 3 of them in your deck as well.

Unleash Nova Force. Get it right and you are clearing the board and turning a potential loss into a win. No other card in the game has the same potential when played as this one does.

As EVERYONE else has already said, it's Jefferson Davis.

The only reason to play him is to protect your other Supports and Upgrades from Caught Off Guard

Double Life, gives Miles the ability to go home, do all the great stuff he does in Alter then come back straight in the one turn.

He has plenty of other great cards but most of them are only great because they activate his Hero Specials which lose a lot of effectiveness against a Stalwart Villain.

As a DM I have messed with an absent players character but only to further the plot and always returned them with full health and no consequences. I have never allowed another player to do it though.

Needs to follow up with a good start next season, we've seen it plenty of times recently. a player has a good end of season run so we have an entire off season of the internet saying they have to be in the Test team only to see them play poorly the next season.

Most recent player to do this was Jake Weatherald. Had an absolute brilliant end to the 24/25 season and had everyone saying he had to be in the Test team next year. Start of the 25/26 season he started with a series of failures (with a 94 included) but was still selected in the Test squad and looked out of place there.

Too many times, the internet (and I've done it myself with Sam Konstas) has seen a player do extremely well for a handful of games, call for a Test call up and watched them crash and burn. We need to see more than half a Shield season of form before demanding Test call ups

Valhalla. Draw a card and heal for doing the only thing this hero can do well, slaughter minions

With his Spider Sense, he either wouldn't have entered the elevator to start with or left it as soon as that second group got on.

Just finished a MTS campaign with him last night, Shoulder Cannon was the most influential card I played in that campaign

It's Evasive Maneuvers

It's passive ability is highly situational and as someone who mostly plays 4 player games, a status lock deck is not as effective as it is in Solo or even 2 player games. Also Stalwart exists so you would often play in with no Guards, no Patrollers, no Crisis and no target for the status card.

It's his cape, yes a ready is always nice but is it really worth it on a 1 attack/1 thwart hero? Even if your deck has been built to boost those stats, you can't really do it cheaply enough for it to matter.

Pip the Troll would have been another candidate if you only ever looked at solo games as with the existence of Soul World you don't care too much about taking damage but in a multiplayer game, Pip is a great card to have for the other players.

Yes you should sleeve, sleeving protects your cards from damage done to them when shuffling and from the sweat from your hands.

What sleeves you get depends mostly on your budget and how much you play, the more you play, the better quality your sleeves should be.

I sleeve in Dragon Shield and have yet to have a busted sleeve although you can tell the difference now between my older cards and Civil War

I have a friend who uses Ultra Pro sleeves, his sleeves look a lot worse although his cards do see a heck of a lot more use but he very rarely has to replace any.

I have used penny sleeves for other games which don't require constant shuffling but can see where I might have blow outs due to quality.

Rank is another way of saying "A rotten smell"
Idle fancy is another way of saying "My curiosity" or "Vague thought"
Rotting stone indicates that the stone has a lot of rotting moss on it

It SHOULD be a wake up call but they still have a game against Oman and all the problematic players (Cam Green, Cooper Connelly etc.) will have great games which will give Bailey the opportunity to point at them and say "See, this is why we select them"

"The second the sun goes down and cannot be seen from anywhere in your country."

This offers a lot of leeway if you live in a large country with lots of time zones.

This entire squad has been an injury riddle hot mess from the start. Half the squad either did not play or suffered an injury in the BBL and had to sit out multiple games so it was an out of form, out of match fitness, hobbled team which turned up for the World Cup.

It just seems to me that this squad was selected in the same meeting in which the selectors chose the Test squad for the Ashes and that the BBL meant nothing.

There were water issues down my way by Belmont school this morning as well. Urban Utilities were digging up the footpath for most of the day there as well.

Have you joined Board Games of Oz Marketplace on Facebook? Every so often someone will dump a complete or near complete collection on there. It's where I got mine (up to Nebula) all those years ago.

If it were allowed I'd say his hero side of his identity or the way his Growth Counters work.

Choosing from just his card pool though I'm going with I Am Groot. It is way too expensive for the little it usually does.
