Med Lab

Would like to raise your attention to this card and the combo with Pixie.

She can be recurred every turn and she will fish you one x-men ally back from your discard pile to your hand. You dont need to play them; they can be discarded to generate a resource and become refished again, making pixie a "permanent" card that does 2-Atk every turn for 1 effective resource.

The only drawback of this is that requires you to be in alter-ego to play her, so an hero with a gameplay that usually mades you flip, like War Machine, Ms. Marvel, Bishop maybe, by example; would find no problem with that alter-ego requirement

Once she is in the med lab:

  1. Play her exhausted, draw an x-men from discard.
  2. Next turn she is ready, so do a 2-Atk, Pixie becomes defeated by consecuential damage, goes back to Med Lab
  3. Be sure that you have another x-men in the discard. If so, go to step 1.

As sidenote, I bring you useful pre-searches for Med Lab:

As a final note, if entering play exhausted bugs you out, Get Ready or Command Team (among other solutions)

And as a final note after the final note, remember that the Med Lab affects the entire board: you can store ANY ally, included your teammates'. Now you can build a tribal deck in multiplayer without being restricted by a single aspect.

Aragorn

A typo here. It should say "gain" to go with the errata'ed "you". (I know this seems pedantic. I originally thought there were two typos, but then I realized I was wrong, and now I can't delete this review!)

Energy Barrier

So, if an enemy attacks my hero and is going to make 3 Damage, Can I activate the Interruption 3 times in a row, to avoid all damage and heal 3 health points? and discarding the Barrier Energy in just one turn because I used the 3 counters?

No. Interrupts and responses can only be triggered once per occurrence of the triggering condition — Stretch22 · 1681
Ronin

He can be used twice before usual chump blocking.

2-ATK is on the average (still I do usually employ my allies to THW)

But what if we extend his use with a cheap upgrade?

  • [1EC][6T/9A] Any Honorary is 3x uses of 2-THW/3-ATK before 1HP-Block
  • [2EC][6T/8A] Inspired is 2x uses of 3-THW/4-ATK before 1HP-Block
  • [2EC][8T/12A] Reinforced Suit is 4x uses of 2-THW/3-ATK before 1HP-Block
  • [2EC][4T/8A] Power Gloves is 2x uses of 2-THW/3-ATK(+1) before 1HP-Block
  • [2EC][4T/8A] Sidearm is 2x uses of 2-THW/4-ATK (ranged) before 1HP-Block
  • [2EC][4T/6A] Sky Cycle is 2x uses of 2-THW/3-ATK (+1 ready/turn) before 1HP-Block

[EC] = Effective Cost . The second [Braket] is the total Thwart or Attack it can deal before chump blocking.

His stats are good enough to include him in a deck with Suit Up. You can start a game with that card and immediately (3EC) search for Ronin + 0-Cost Upgrade and pay both (3EC). Thats an opening of 1 Ally of 3x uses of 2-THW/3-ATK before 1HP-Block.

By the way, there is the self-updating list of LEADERSHIP upgrades avaiable with "attach" in its text

And if your teammates care for a cross-class upgrade sharing, here is the ALL ASPECTS list

Armed to the Teeth

"From your collection" means aside from the game. You can fish anything of any aspect that can comply the requirements (weapon upgrade).


Notable mentions and comboes as of 11th October 2025:

mostly weapons with counters, since the swapping means refreshing counters which means infinite ammo:

  • A second Sonic Rifle for a permanent CONFUSION status card every turn.
  • A second Plasma Pistol to pew pew chipping infinitely.
  • A second Stun Gun to spend a single counter and perma STUN a powerful ELITE minion infinitely.
    • Note: All these weapons so far can be mix and matched together
  • Bambino ignores restrictions as long as you had the swapped weapon attached to you. unortunately, there is no current hero-attachable weapon aside from cross-player combo of being gifted S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy + S.H.I.E.L.D. Sidearm or another Bambino
  • Laser Swords if you are an icon crackhead, to swap in when the time is right (aka Live Dangerously)
  • Godslayer with a discount by playing 1-cost weapon upgrade like Sidearm or Jarnbjorn (probably not worth)

Quick note: you will need Side Holster if planning to use a RESTRICTED weapon WITH your 2x Deadpool's Katana
