3 cost rare plot twist.
Well in a nut shell it’s an Acrobatic Dodge for
attack or defense if you’re teamed up. For
modern it’s great it’ll stone wall attacks to
make Heralds that much better. It’s a good
defense pump. In Golden age it’s not very great.
Too many better defense pumps Cover fire,
Acrobatic Dodge, or From the Shadows. The team
up part should be hard since there are easy ways
to that. I do think Checkmate/anything will play
it for sure to stop attacks. I saw this card 2
weeks ago a turn after I double Nasty Surprised
to get board advantage to turn around and get
wrecked the next turn because I was stone walled
then got pummeled by the same character it was
played on!
Rating this card Silver through modern 4/5.
Golden age 2.5/5 it’s just not as good or it’s
an ability several common cards can do. |

3 cost Plot Twist
In short, if all your characters share an
affiliation, target attacker or blocker gets
-3/+3 this attack.
Well... Not bad. Not amazing, but not bad. Its
not hard to get all characters on your team to
share the same affiliation. Team Up cards help
achieve that if you are playing a multi-
Affiliated deck. Most decks I run are all the
same team anyway, usually with no Un-Affiliated
characters around.
Lets see its benefits. It works on target Attack
OR Blocker. This is very nice. Its not limited
to one or the other. So, in conjunction with
last weeks Cap, you could give him a total of
-6/+6 , or give Cap -3 attack, another character
-3 attack, and that same character +6 total
defense. In either case, its alot of buffing to
get past a +6 defense (Armageddon, anyone?) Even
on its own, without Captain Americas ability,
sometimes keeping one of your characters
standing is more important than stunning one of
your opponents.
Overall I like this card. In Vs. System, I've
seen few cards that I overall dislike. But the
cards seem to be getting more and more solid as
new sets are released. Against All Odds is a
very solid card, if you can get all your
characters with the same affiliation, which
shouldn't be too hard.
Overall: 4/5 (Great way to keep your Characters
alive and kickin') |
