[33] There are five different types of player cards in the game: ally cards, upgrade cards, support cards, event cards, and resource cards. When you want to play a card, you pay for it by discarding other cards in your hand for their resource values. For example, if you’re playing as Iron Man and you want to play the War Machine ally card, which costs four resources, you have to discard other cards until you’ve totaled four resources. Any card that has the word “Action” on it can be used during any player’s turn, so you could pay for a card from your hand to help out a teammate during their turn. After everyone has taken a turn, you discard any cards that you don’t want, draw up to your current hand size based on your form, and then ready any heroes and allies that were exhausted during the turn. Use their alter-egos recovery ability to gain hit points (only in alter ego form, and exhausting their identity). Marvel Champions is extremely easy to get into.

This upgrade is your life support, and since you’ll switch between forms every single turn you want this badass upgrade put into play the very first round. Hence, this upgrade is what you mulligan for. If you don’t find it the first round you’ll want to use Iron Man's ability to find it (given that you have the resources for it). Sonic Rifle is less important as you’ll switch to A-E the second round. Marvel Champions: The Card Game Review: With Great Power..." TheGamer. November 17, 2019 . Retrieved February 3, 2022. I’ve really enjoyed The Mad Titan’s Shadow– but there’s more content I haven’t got to yet! As mentioned earlier Hela and Loki are the next two villains waiting if you can best Thanos and his super-powered mitten. Of course, you can just skip around and play each scenario as a standalone game if you want. It kind of stinks that there aren’t enough cards in the core set to run two or more heroes with the same aspects. That’s unfortunate because you might want to have, say, two Aggressive or two Justice heroes on your team and you just can’t.
