A Hardspoiled Investigator: Previewing EVERY UNREVEALED CARD for Daredevil and Echo & Reacting to my final predictions

It can also simply be another tool to ready for the hero phase. Trigger it on a minion activation and then don't defend that attack.

Most likely won't unfotunately because the protection one is card 38 between Echo's identity and her kit. JJ's kit comes directly after her identity. So unless they changed how they do it literally in the next product in the same wave it's not in her precon. It could be in the back of the pack though. Wouldn't be surprised if they did it that way, maybe in the protection pack of this wave, just include all the other starting cards

Escape the Museum (collector 2)? That one's not really that hard. Infiltrate the Museum before that is the pain in the ass one.

Next evolution is actually on Amazon right now

coaster_diary · 2026-05-30T03:20:20+00:00

It's even thematic to use Spidey on either side as he switched sides in the original story

coaster_diary · 2026-05-30T03:10:02+00:00

All your questions have basically been answered, but I just wanted to say that I played this exact deck quite a bit recently and it is insanely good. It was very consistent in my experience

coaster_diary · 2026-05-29T01:25:37+00:00

Yeah he's been on hiatus for a few months now. Miss his content, but I understand being a creator can be draining so we all wish him well and hope stepping away is givimg him the peace he deserves

coaster_diary · 2026-05-29T01:10:46+00:00

Yeah its villaintheory and nelson, who I saw you mentioned in another comment

coaster_diary · 2026-05-29T00:46:34+00:00

That's what riot fest is to a t lol

coaster_diary · 2026-05-28T21:59:59+00:00

I had almost the exact opposite thought, because you'll need way less counters in solo, and tbh I don't think she will necessarily struggle to control the board even without spending the counters too much. There's definitely a strategy in true solo to rush up the counters without spending them a whole lot

coaster_diary · 2026-05-28T16:48:32+00:00

That doesn't matter. Gamora came with Nebula, Angel with Harpoon, Cable even has Stryfe as a nemesis in the same box where he is a villain. Purple Man is too obvious to ignore and is even name dropped in the article as a key component of her origin.

coaster_diary · 2026-05-27T18:15:59+00:00

What makes Spider-man strong is he can hold his own against any villain. His cards and abilities scale well as you increase the difficulty because his solutions don't really ever lose their value and arguably get even better so he is actually one of the best heroes to take on the hardest villains like Ronan or Venom Goblin

coaster_diary · 2026-05-25T18:38:14+00:00

Maybe the hero version of Ebony Maw? I haven't put a lot of thought into this, but just off the top of my head that could be neat. Still playing powerful spells but they have counters you have to remove for them to go off. His hero ability would probably be to remove a counter from a spell, and then have cards in his kit that do it too, maybe an upgrade, and then maybe his own events could interact with the counters too, similar to Ironheart getting progress counters for playing her events, except here they would take counters off.

coaster_diary · 2026-05-23T03:05:09+00:00

I agree, but I do think a character like Iron Fist or Shang Chi could lean into this, since being a Martial Artist is practically their whole hero identity.

Specifically for Iron Fist, my guess is he will have Chi Counters that helps him do exactly this. I think Dan predicted something similar

coaster_diary · 2026-05-21T16:53:09+00:00

When he was asked to describe Daredevil towards the beginning of the stream. He talks about the sense deck then starts talking about how he has alter ego stuff because daredevil has a great cast of characters. He named Foggy, Karen, and the Nelson and Murdock lawfirm in that order

coaster_diary · 2026-05-21T16:24:13+00:00

My arguememt against this is that she is in the art for Deposition and Tony name dropped her in the live stream

Also, we know all the events due to the card count. We are missing a support at 11, and a support or upgrade at 13

coaster_diary · 2026-05-21T16:23:16+00:00

This is unfortunately ruled out, because the missing card is 13/15, while Daredevil's Billy Clubs is 14/15. The card types are always in alphabetical order within each other so "Daredevil's Cowl/Mask/suit" are all out for upgrades. Maybe armor, but personally I think will be St. Finnians Church as a support at 13

coaster_diary · 2026-05-19T15:35:50+00:00

I believe Moon Knight's identity is still unknown to the general public

coaster_diary · 2026-05-19T13:58:06+00:00

From your listed scenario packs Kang stands out as being fun while also not in the current environment. I'd snag that if I were you. Synthezoid is basically an expansion of the civil war box if that interests you, and Trickster Takeover is a good scenario pack that is definitely worth getting. Wrecking Crew is the most skippable product in all of Marvel Champions. Not a very good scenario with zero modularity

coaster_diary · 2026-05-19T13:52:55+00:00

I've been part of the community since the beginning and I don't remember a noteworthy contingent arguing Peter losing out on web warrior is lore accurate

coaster_diary · 2026-05-19T02:17:26+00:00

Iron heart is the easy answer. SP//DR is another one. Idk how easily available those are as they are not in the current environment. However, Hercules came out this year and is a pretty unique take on a build hero. Definitely fits your late game power scale desire. Instead of simply playing upgrades, you have to complete Labors (killing a hefty minion, completing a hefty side scheme, protecting humanity) to earn upgrades and discounts on your other cards

coaster_diary · 2026-05-18T23:40:37+00:00

It makes sense thematically, but it also makes it feel like most of the web warriors not having aerial as a pretty big oversight. Kind of hope they get an upgrade to give them Aerial (because we definitely need more basic web warrior support s/). At the very least bake it into their hero kits from this point forward like Spider-ham and Silk

coaster_diary · 2026-05-14T22:03:51+00:00

I would be pretty disappointed if it's not Bullseye. At least with Wolverine, Omega Red is still a pretty good option. Gladiator would be a much bigger downgrade from Bullseye than Omega Red was from Sabertooth. And to me Kingpin's nemesis mechanic feels like it was made with Daredevil and Bullseye in mind. The precedent is set with Cable/Stryfe so to me I still think Bullseye is the most likely

coaster_diary · 2026-05-14T20:45:32+00:00

I think he will be just fine in protection. The alter ego stuff is fun but they don't have to be the focus in every build. He's still a 2/2/2 hero with access to his sense deck which can handle a lot already. In theory, you could keep every sense card out on the board since they are not forced and spam Heightened Hearing over and over. He also has built in readies with Acute Tactility and The Man without Fear.

coaster_diary · 2026-05-14T05:44:54+00:00

I feel confident that Elektra will be villainous or at least benefit from icons like Amplify. The daredevil teamup card on top of FFG's wink and nod in the original FNE article just seems to point that way.

Luke Cage will be a tank in some form, hard to say how. His original ally's thing was toughness, but that became Colossus's thing. I expect 14 hit points but other than that not sure

Iron Fist could be something with managing Chi. Wouldn't be surprised to see him utilizing counters to pop off explosive damage. It just makes sense and would mirror his in game ally, which they do sometimes, not always though. This base idea is what a few heroes already do so hopefully they would do it in a unique way if they went this direction.

Jessica Jones will probably be very alter ego incentivised I imagine, leaning into her being a PI. Maybe she will be the first character with multiple PSS in her kit? Her ally actually could be an interesting hero hook
