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.

Thanks for reading,

I'm stuffed.

Hello,

           Today's blog post is inspired by Big Will Holland. The implication of the Spiderman and Teen Titan sets is major in several areas.

1. Mole Men Assemble

         With Spiderman set having confirmed monsters in the set it means mole man will have many options to control. Dracula attacking twice in the same turn maybe really strong.

2. Teen Titans may mean more teen keyword

        A lot of general keywords have been undergoing a slow death. Teen is a fallen giant of the past. Teen Titan has the chance to bring life into the fallen. If the team dials have teen keyword then it's on.

3.  The pace has not slowed down for releases.

       This year has taught us that Wizkids can crank out major product releases at a rapid rate.  I think that is not a good thing. But we will have something the first two months of next year.

4. Fools rush in.

       With the flood of product it is best just to wait for prices to drop. I will not buy blind next year because the secondary market prices are way to cheap.

That's it,
