The meta break down

Hello,

           I had a great conversation with my heroclix mentee Silent Scream last night. We had a good conversation on the current break down, on first look, impacts of Amazing Spider-man. I'm not going to run down everything but I will list out my top ten buys and top ten meta pieces for the whole set. This list is in no certain order.

Buys
1. Dusk
2. Brother Voodoo
3. Ancient One
4. Ricochet
5. Wong
6. Johnny Blaze
8. Terrax
9. Madam Web
10. Texting Everyone Spider Girl

Meta Changers

1. Dusk
2. Brother Voodoo
3. Texting Everyone Spider Girl
4. Scarlet Spider
5. Madame Web
6. Jennifer Kayle
7. Frankenstein Monster
8. Terrax
9. Dracula
10. The Ancient One

I will say that morph mechanics will be pushed a bit in the local meta. The main problem will be how are we going to solve for stealth. Texting Everyone Spider-Girl is going to hurt the reign of stealth quite a bit. But without her there is nothing other than melee that really deals with the power of SoG and the Bat sets. We have nothing that threatens resource dials or vehicles. Catwoman's stock did go up a bit. Cheap damage is still good. The only minor shake up will be mind control and how it coming back into the meta foresight. Will people actually use Brother Voodoo or just pass up on him due to mind control not being easy to use?

I have purchased all my primes, super rares, and chases I want from the set except 1 and I think his price will come down. I hope everyone gets what they want in their pulls. Let me know what crazy cool deals you all struck to get those pieces that you want.

I got a SOG Chase!

Hey,

         I "picked" well from a Streets of Gotham display at a Vintage Stock. I bought the 2 team packs and got Dove, GCPD Officer and Bane Bats chase. Guess whats going up for trade? Bane Bats I never knew you. I got the Assassins and Wildcat Packs!

        Tactically we are going to go back a little bit to Chase Ice Cap from Captain America set. This figure sort of disappeared with all the sealed events, IG events, and just pure and simple time. Let's look at his pros and cons.

       The pros over all is his low cost and great stats. If you look at the starting 12 attack and 3 damage for less then 75 points it is an awesome deal. The other thing that is noticeable is that you can fit him on any Avengers team. He is a great filler piece. The last pro is you get his best abilities and stats on his first useful slot. He has a lot great keywords. Don't forget he has 4 clix of running shot.

       The cons are a bit obvious. The first is the countdown mechanic. While the countdown mechanic makes Ice Cap lower points. At the same time he is not able to do anything until a couple of turns in. After he takes a hit his stats consistently go down. The six range is a bit crappy.

      You should be able to pick up one for under 20 bucks.

      Thanks for reading. Sorry for the late posts lately. I've had a really busy last few days.
