I'm also pretty sad to see the forums go. While I don't contribute with posts as much as I'd like, I do enjoy reading the discussions that take place. Maybe I'm just old and stuck in my ways, but forums are my preferred medium for discussion. I'm not a fan of Facebook, I really dislike Discord (it's basically just a chat room from the 90s), Reddit seems okay, and I've had mixed experiences with BGG. I guess we could start using the forums on cardgamedb?

This week we are playing against Red Skull. With his own side scheme deck, he can easily overwhelm heroes. Taking him on would be Ms. Marvel (Aggression), Ant-Man (Justice), Hulk (Leadership), and Black Widow (Protection). Which hero would get the most wins? https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/12/13/showdown-9-red-skull/

Because I usually play a lot of games in a row (typically 5), I try to make sure I've given the decks a good shuffle. Usually overhand shuffle followed by a pile shuffle (not really a proper shuffle, I know), then some more overhand. Definitely helps avoid clumping.

Interesting topic! Best 5 heroes: Doctor Strange, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Ms. Marvel Worst 5 heroes: Hulk, Thor, She-Hulk, Black Panther, Black Widow Best ally for each aspect: Aggression (Brawn), Justice (Agent Coulson), Leadership (Maria Hill), Protection (Iron Fist). Best event for each aspect: Aggression (Relentless Assault), Justice (Stealth Strike), Leadership (Make the Call), Protection (Momentum Shift). Best support for each aspect: Aggression (Hall of Heroes), Justice (Interrogation Room), Leadership (Team Training), Protection (The Night Nurse) Best upgrade for each aspect: Aggression (Counterattack), Justice (Under Surveillance), Leadership (Rapid Response), Protection (Energy Barrier) Best basic cards: Event (Earth's Mightiest Heroes), Ally (Nick Fury), Support (Quincarrier), Upgrade (Down Time). 2 heroes I'd like to see: Punisher and Blade EDIT: added upgrades

We start season 2 of our Showdown series by taking on Rhino. To make things a bit more interesting we would be using the Running Interference encounter module. Against Rhino would be Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Captain America! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/12/06/showdown-8-rhino/

We mark our 50th article covering Marvel Champions by taking some time to reflect on the game and our articles so far. https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/12/05/marvel-champions-article-50/

We're not wasting any time and are diving straight into our second Showdown season! In this article we choose our villain lineup and draft our characters & aspects. Read on to find out what's coming up in season 2! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/11/29/showdown-season-2-draft/

Hulk is considered by many to be the weakest Hero released so far (an opinion we share), but does that mean that he isn't fun to use? In this article I play 30(!) games with a Hulk Leadership deck, making modifications along the way, in order to try and have some fun using the big green guy. https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/11/25/deck-development-hulk-friends/

Season 1 of our Showdown series has finished which means that it's time to review our results. In this article we discuss what went well for us and what didn't, any possible changes we might need to make to our format, and then finish with some stats from our series so far! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/11/22/showdown-season-1-review/

I think that Evan said that every content creator will get a spoiler for campaign boxes.

There are so many different things that they could have done with Hulk. What we got is a character that doesn't play how I think that a lot of us think that Hulk should play. I've been playing with him recently on Standard difficulty (my default is Expert) and I've had some enjoyable games. In my opinion, Hulk is the weakest hero released so far, but there is still some fun to be had using him.

It's the final Showdown of Season 1 and we're against Zola! Taking him on will be Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Spider-Woman. https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/11/15/showdown-7-zola/

Slightly delayed, but here is our Showdown versus Klaw with Anachronauts! Taking him on would be Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and Spider-Woman. https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/11/08/showdown-6-klaw/

Mutagen Formula, considered by some to be the hardest scenario printed so far. In our second Showdown of our Season 1, we take on that scenario with Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and Thor. Follow the link to see how we got on! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/10/28/showdown-5-mutagen-formula/

We've picked the Villains and drafted the Heroes, so it's time for Showdown Season 1 to begin. First up is Absorbing Man! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/10/21/showdown-4-absorbing-man/

We decided that RoRS and Kang would make too many villains for us to continue the second part of the Character Focus articles in the same way as we were. Instead, we are going to make sure that characters are still used but as part of the Showdown series (although not Black Widow this season, haha).

We continue our Villain Focus series with a look at Taskmaster! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/10/18/villain-focus-taskmaster/

James and I are definitely looking forward to playing out this season!

Our Showdown series continues. This time we're cementing the format a bit. Here's our Season 1 Draft! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/10/14/showdown-series-1-draft/

It's our third Showdown article and this time we're facing off against Taskmaster! https://tabletoptimesinks.com/.../11/showdown-3-taskmaster/

Hi everyone, I've been playing loads of Marvel Champions since release and have decided to start writing articles again. This weekend I have published two articles, one about Doctor Strange (Leadership) and the other about Thor (Justice). Please take a look and let me know what you think! Doctor Strange (Leadership): https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/05/09/deck-development-doctor-strange-leadership/ Thor (Justice): https://tabletoptimesinks.com/2020/05/10/deck-development-thor-justice/
