Hugin & Munin
  • Its not a forced response. They can still just play as a cheap 2-cost ally
  • Adds 3 rare traits for Strength in Diversity sheanigans
    • Of them all its Aerial, an enabler of powerful cards and combos
  • On mid-late you can definitively get more benefit than perjuice of his response
  • Its also the first foundation step towards an unortodox Leadership Thor deck with Squared Off for engagements' needs
    • As sidenote of that, they can be a target for The Bifrost
  • Their response is quite interesting in multiplayer with Rapid Response: block other player's villain with them, get them back and ready your hero to block with yourself or the birds, another villain's attack. If the villain first activated with you, the upcoming minion wont attack you.

Thor and Tigra usually benefits the more, from having a minion engaged


Now that you know this information, go and let your creativity loose on your next deck with Hugin & Munin!

Invisibility Gear
  • Can be gifted to other players!
  • One usually does not want the villain to scheme while in hero, but may prevent you from being forced to recover.
  • Its not a forced interrupt. If you dont use it unless on emergency, it thins your deck.
  • Can save you from nasty attack treacheries that would otherwise result in defeat.
  • Its a cheap tech for our tech enthusiasts like Iron Man, Rocket Racoon, Black Panther Shuri, etc
  • Is also a valid target for Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz
  • Its an item that can be constantly targeted with Jubilee's X-Mansion, Mutant Education, Disguise combo
  • Cross-class combo (Spider-Woman) can spend it with Repurpose

In overall, its usually unwanted yet it can become synergical in some situations, then its cost is fine

Captain America

This new version of Cap is absolutely great. Moving away from the Avengers tribe and into S.H.I.E.L.D. comes with perks it seems. He has the statline of a 3-cost ally - 3 HP and 2 in stats. However, he comes with Toughness, which instantly makes him much more valuable. You can defend twice with him - the round you play him on, then THW/ATK twice and defend a second time on the fourth round. But he also comes with a ready-effect, which is at least 2 more THW/ATK from your hero or another S.H.I.E.L.D. ally. There are tons of synergies to be had, whether it be readying Agent 13 to then ready another support, or accelerate the use of the Bambino in the hands of another Shield operative. You will do well to enlist Captain America in your aggression deck with a S.H.I.E.L.D. hero.

Wingman

The optimal use case for this card is repeatedly healing a strong or Voltron-esque ally. Obvious candidates include Spectrum (who becomes formidable if paid for with a wild resource), Iron Man (who can gain Aerial via Sky Cycle), Captain Marvel (who has big numbers), and Snowguard (who has 3 THW in Aerial form). From the recipient's perspective (the Voltron), we're essentially looking at a cost of 3 ER for an Aerial ally plus 1 ER for Wingman to heal 1 health per turn in perpetuity. This beats First Aid after 4 rounds, or Med Team after 6 rounds, although it imposes the restrictions that the recipient and donor must both be Aerial. Overall, it is a reasonably high-value card, but notably slow due to the 4 ER initial investment. This also adds another level of uncertainty and complexity to the deck's engine, as it requires both a donor and recipient to be in play before any value can be reaped.

Savage Strike

Wasp loves this, alongside ATK buffers like Combat Training, Aggressive Conditioning and Combat Specialist! In that combo she could potentially get rid of up to 11 Tough status cards on enemies, and that's before counting in any Giant Strengths.
