Heat Wave
It's PC Indy Eve, and all through the house, VS
players heads are filled with thoughts of new
decks,
secret tech, and cash prizes. However, on the
actual
eve of the PC, players from all over (myself
included)
will be drafting with the brand spanking new
cards
from the brand spanking new set, Marvel Legends.
Last week, we looked at a card that rewards you
for
playing as many members of the Fantastic Four as
you
can. This week, we focus in on one member of the
FF;
the Human Torch. Heat Wave, like Family of Four,
is a
4-cost plot twist that acts a little bit like a
Flame
Trap. Instead of stunning everything with a cost
of 2
or less though, it stuns every character with a
DEF of
1 or less. This is mostly going to get rid of 1
drops, and maybe a few 2 drops. However, you can
use
it to stun some higher drops if you combine it
with
some other cards.
Fantastic Four and Inhumans played well together
in
the Heralds of Galactus set, and Karnak's Cosmic
ability can turn a defending character's DEF to
0,
allowing you to then stun a Human Torch, stun
the
defender, and ready the attacker for another
swing.
It also works great with What Are Friends For?,
one of
my favorite cards from MTU.
This is going to mainly be a card to use against
off-curve decks, so it's not going to be a
staple
depending on your tournament scene. On the other
hand, since we haven't seen much of Marvel
Legends,
there may be some more effects that will lower
an
opposing character's DEF. If nothing else, it'll
get
rid of those annoying concealed 1-drops that
have a
tendency to stick around way too long in a
limited
format game.
Well, that's it for previews, but if you're
going to
be in Indy for the Pro Circuit, or just for
Gencon,
feel free to come by and say hi. I'll be playing
in
Marvel Legends drafts on Wednesday, playing in
Day 1
of the PC on Thursday, and if I can do well
enough,
I'll be drafting on Friday too. Good luck to
everybody who's going, and have good and get
give. |

Another
preview card for the Fantastic Four. I’m still
not finished with Worlds Finest…
Heat Wave
Plot Twist/4
To play, stun a Human Torch you control
Stun all characters with DEF 1 or less.
Oh, I know exactly what deck to put this card
in. And if it works, it’d be broken.
Generally, the text pretty much says to stun all
characters with a cost of 1 or less. And maybe
Doop. But if you want to exploit this card, you
need to reduce a bunch of characters to a
defense of 1 or less, and not a lot of cards do
that. Yet. Hopefully…
I don’t know what else to say. The card is
pretty straightforward…
Overall: N/A
You know, I’m still not feeling the new card
designs…

Another
preview card today, and its another Plot Twist
with the cool new look.
Heat Wave
4 cost Plot Twist
To play, stun a Human Torch you control
Stun all characters wth DEF 1 or less.
Well, well... this is interesting. This my as
well read "Stun Human Torch, KO all 1 Def or
less Characters". Could be fun in a fantastic
four deck. We'll see... :)
Sealed: 3/5 If you get a Human Torch, that is.
You could seriously irritate your opponant with
it.
Constructed: 3/5 This card will be great if you
can find some way to lower your opponants DEF
stat... :) |
