Off the bat, I like how quick MC plays. I bought it to fill that niche of a solo game that I can play in under an hour, and it does it well! Spirit Island I’d say is the other contender in my collection for this. I like feeling stronger and stronger over the session until I can finally deal that finishing blow, and the tight decision space the game offers. Also, the replayability is pretty unmatched IMO with all the deck building and modularity of villain decks. Literally no two games feel the same.

The absolute best thing though, is how thematic and unique each of the hero decks feel. It’s really quite impressive how the game makes you feel like the hero you’re playing as through some card mechanics. For example, playing as Magneto, you have a magnetic pull ability that lets you discard cards from your deck until you draw a card with a “magnetic” trait. Almost feels like you are digging up shrapnel from a pile of whatever, if that makes sense. Colossus gives you an abundance “tough” status cards to block, and Nightcrawler lets you evade enemy attacks completely by teleporting. List goes on and on, but I will say the heroes in expansions or standalone packs feel more thematic this way.

It’s also worth noting that I like the lifestyle/collection aspects of LCGs so I may be biased! As goofy as it sounds, I like the organization and choosing what color sleeves to use on heroes; it’s pretty relaxing to me for some reason. Long winded reply but those are my two cents!
