I learn more about this game on this channel than any other. Thanks for taking the time to film your gameplay w/Marvel. Keep 'em coming....
Thanks!! Looks like new stuff finally hits the US sometime in June. Looking forward to more heroes! :)
Wow this play through made something so clear that I was missing. Awesome!
@Erick Main Glad the video was able to help! Thanks for watching! :)
Great to see a play through with Thor. Awesome!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you, I was eagerly waiting for this. Everyday, I am searching your channel looking for this. I will watch it now, just making popcorn. 😬
Thanks!! Good to know the video is worthy of popcorn!! :)
You said the ending wasn't dramatic, but I just thought "is thor the God of hammers!"
You're right! He brought some Thunder too!! :)
I used to lose this game all the time. Since I watched a few play throughs on this channel my win rate is probably 90%. Went from losing to Rhino four times out of five to taking out Klaw and Ultron on the first try.
Just did a true solo cakewalk of Rhino using leadership Captain America. Going to try Green Goblin with Justice Spider-Man next.
Excellent videos. You’ve cleared up so much for me. Thank you!
Hello Dale, can't get enough of your content. You are doing such an awesome job and your smooth and calm voice makes it so enjoyable to watch. Working my way through, cause I came late to the game. I have one question: Where can I get those handy and modular villain cardholders? Can't find them (not on etsy as far as I am aware of).
Thanks for watching! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at czcams.com/video/HBNRANBuKS4/video.html and a handy attachment tray at czcams.com/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/video.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Awesome! Thank you very much!😀👌
Thanks for the video.
Good game! Ultron is so tough, but with the basic powers of both Thor and Cap Am, his drones are no match. Besides, even for these 2 Avengers, it is really hard! I tried to beat him with Black Panther agression in expert mode and... well... Nuclear armageddon. 😅😅😅
Thanks! You are correct, Thor and Cap were made for taking care of Ultron! :)
playing with this scheme solo is so hard, just scheming once pretty much insta-loses the game. I always hop on this channel to see if i play the scenarios correctly
@SirReasoner Thor is at his best against Ultron due to his abilities and cards, and how Ultron works. Glad you stopped by, and hope your games are going well!! :)
Dale the Casual Gamer been learning widow and strange and loving it
Good game pal, I’ll be tackling ultron tomorrow. Liked the synergies with Thor and Cap. Have you thought about doing some deck building tutorials or insights.?👏👏
@Dav1ekc Thanks! Good luck with Ultron, he's a tough one!
I might try doing "why I built the deck this way" at the end of playthroughs in a "deck construction" session. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing and sharing your deck make up. Well made decks. Thor does well against Ultron given Thor's minion engagement bonus. Looks like Capt plays well with the justice aspect.
Thanks for watching. I figured Ultron would be the best villain to showcase Thor. :)
Aggro Thor and Justice Cap is smart. I see a lot of people trying to run Prot and Lead when they are only playing one or two handed, and they often struggle. We've found that 1-handed = Just or Aggro, 2-handed = Just AND Aggro, 3-handed = Just AND Aggro AND Lead or Prot, though Lead is better. Prot works best when you are using 4 characters
Totally agree. True solo I almost always go justice unless I think I can beat the villain quick. Two players, justice and aggression, although some hero’s do well with protection (thinking Spider-Man, cap and black panther if paired with a good hero). Mainly, for me, protection and leadership are for 3-4 hero games. Thanks for watching!!
@@DaletheCasualGamer Iron Man is also exceptional (and solo-playable) with Protection, thanks to the Energy Barriers counting as tech upgrades.
@Matthew Virkler Thanks! I'll have to give that a try! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Of course it's still possible to draw dry (no tech upgrades) in your first hand (even with a hard mulligan), but in general I've found his ramp-up accelerated enough by Energy Barriers to be make solo Iron Man a lot of fun. And once he's got his Arc Reactor up and running, that tends to be plenty thwart so you don't end up missing your Justice cards. Hope you find it fun if you try it.
Wondering where you got the black display you set the encounter / villain cards on?
@Cameron Caine Thanks for watching! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at czcams.com/video/HBNRANBuKS4/video.html and a handy attachment tray at czcams.com/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/video.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
new here and might feel really stupid for this, but player 2 can directly attack a minion (drone) engaged with player 1?!?! maybe that's why we can not beat ultron?!?!
@Michael Benson Welcome to Marvel Champions!! Yes, you can attack other players minions, and you can also defend for other players. Team work is key. Thanks for stopping by, and best of luck in your next games! :)
#dalethecasualgamer- the black stand holding your villain cards and stuff - is that homemade? Looking for something like that for my solo play as well…
@Timothy Smith Thanks for watching! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com .

I feel like cap is OP because of his shield ability. Thor I reckon is the most balanced and enjoyable hero to play as. I’m going to do a run through of The Avengers (Ironman, Cap, Thor, Black Widow, and Hulk - Hawkeye when he is confirmed) vs Ultron on high difficulty, can’t wait.
I wish that a DC version of this game existed, I would literally invest thousands of dollars.
We aren't getting a Hero version of Hawkeye... at least not in this cycle. The cycle ends with the story pack in July, and then a new cycle begins, which wont be more Avengers. There MAY be a second Avengers cycle down the line, however.
So are you going solo with each Avenger against Ultron!!?? I wouldn’t expect a high success rate. I think I did win with Captain Marvel, Captain America and Spider-Man may stand a chance too. Good luck!!
I’d be all in on a DC version of this game too!! :)
@@PersonalMint I mean they have barely scratched the surface of Marvel so far and even once they get a bit out they could practically reboot with X-Men which would be awesome. From what I've heard Marvel doesn't really like their product crossing with DC so if they did do DC it would have to be a different non compatible system but who knows.
Thanks for your playthroughs. I am loving them. As a new player, I had a question about where you "pitched a card to ready Cap" at 14:40. What ability allowed you to do this (card, etc.)?
@Farrell Seymore Caps ability on his hero side is to discard a card to ready (once per turn). Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Dale. This helps a lot. I have learned much from your plays.
Hey I just want to point out - at 13:03, when Thor didn't have two physical resources in his hand, you could have "asked" Captain America to see if he could do the action!
@Walt Gottlieb Good point! Thor needs to learn it's okay to ask for help. ;)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Whoops - I said Hulk instead of Thor! Fixed. (Oh no! If I edit a comment, it removes your like from it lol)
@@waltercardcollector lol And I guess that's a good CZcams feature. :)
Wait I'm confused why Is ultron attacking all the players? I thought the villain only attacks the turn.
I've noticed you mulligan heavily. Do you find that causes you to deck out quicker and get encounter cards at bad times?
@Christian Bonet Encounter cards are always bad times ... but I'd rather have a better chance at setting up for a good first turn. I don't think the extra turn you'd get without the extra encounter card would really make a difference in most "Standard" games. Expert might me another thing depending on the villain and how things are going. Good luck, and thanks for watching! :)
For your Thor deck, why didn’t you use the genius double resource card?
@Mak Koh Sometimes I take out certain cards with certain resource types when playing the Hulk to hopefully minimize the chances of him being discarded. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! :)
Just curious, what are the stands you use for the villain cards?
@Farrell Seymore Thanks for watching! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at czcams.com/video/HBNRANBuKS4/video.html and a handy attachment tray at czcams.com/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/video.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
I think I'm missing something, but I'm a little confused. What "additional 4" did you overlook adding at 32:35?
That scheme has each character choose to place 2 threat or gain a drone. Terrible choices. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer oh yes, thank you!
On 8:30 when you exhaust the shield to block a damage, still it retaliate??the hability of the card is already used
It still works. Just can’t exhaust it again if I had another shield block. Good luck!
Great video, DtCG! I've been on the lookout for the Thor pack, but haven't seen it anywhere. Who's hookin' you up?!? :)
The demand for most of the MC packs has been massive. Pre-ordering is important.
Like Matt mentioned, FFG hasn’t been making many for stock in stores, these packs are selling out before they get to stores. I’ve been preordering online as soon as they get listed. Good luck!!
@@DaletheCasualGamer They have actually printed loads, and have already printed the entire cycle, it's just the first drop for each pack is small,,, like insanely small... but the follow-up drop is much larger, but still sells super-fast due to the demand created by the fast sell-out of the first drop. FOMO is real lol
As predicted, Ms Marvel is selling badly, but, surprisingly, the second drop for Wrecking Crew is selling very slowly, which is odd given how few villains we have in comparison to the volume of heroes.Not including the end of cycle story pack, we are only looking at 5 villains (I'm counting the Wrecking Crew as a single foe for obvious reasons), but there are 11 heroes this cycle.
Yes, there are a ton of permutations given difficulty cards and modular villain packs, but still, that's a bit of a wonky ratio.
Hopefully the story pack will have a ton of content.
interesting ... thank you, both, for sharing!
Hey, what kind of sleeves are you using please?
I’ve been using Fantasy Flight games sleeves for about a decade. Good luck!
Nice video what sleeves your using?
Thanks for watching! I use Fantasy Flight Games sleeves. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer ty!
Dale what sleeves do you use?
@TheBeardedMike I use Fantasy Flight Games sleeves and have been pleased with them. :)
What do you do with the nemesis cards?
They go to the side and only come in if a card effect brings them in ... and you don’t want that. ;)
I think that you play wrong when at 12 minutes you remove the stunning card only versus Captain America and not vs Thor also. The Stunned condition lasts for all the Attack phase which is considered one phase also if there are 4 heroes.I think it's posted in the faq
@Andrea Polidoro Thanks for watching! The stunned condition goes away once a character makes it's next attack. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer thanks for your reply! Yeah I know how stun works but if you watch your video around 12:00, Ultron skips only the 1st attack to Captain America and then attacks only Thor while he should skip both the attacks because the stun condition makes you to skip your entirely attack phase and not only the 1st attack in this phase. I don't remember where I read it...
@@polidoroandrea That was played correctly. Stun does not last for an entire phase, just the next attack. From the rules, if a stunned villain or minion would attack, discard the stunned status card. It does not prevent further attacks during that phase. If you find out where you read that, let me know. FFG developers play it the same way. Thanks! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer I asked to my MCLcg community and you are right! Thank you for your reply! Btw +1 sub 🙂👍🏻
@@polidoroandrea No problem, this game has tons of rules and timings things that come up, I get some right and others, well, I'm always learning. :)
Thanks for watching and the sub!
Question. Does Thor’s hero ability activate during setup? Ie when a minion is placed in front of you after setup do you draw two cards when flipping to the hero side? The wording is extremely vague plus I can’t find an explanation
@kamb26 During setup the alter-ego side should be face-up, so that ability should not be an issue. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)
thx dale
what is that black standee for the villain cards?
uberstax.com/
Uberstax are handy for lots of games!! I’ve purchased quite a few packs. :)
What protectors you use?
@Richard Sutterfield I was using Fantasy Flight Sleeves, but now use Dragon Shield clear matte. Hope that helps! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thank you it does! Have you sleeved every card you own or do you just switch out cards? I can only imagine the cost associated with doing them all.
@@flipsutter1 I've sleeved them all except duplicate sets from new hero packs. :)
At 31:50, Lightning Strikes card says to SPEND 1 energy resource. Shouldn't this resource come from your hand and not just by exhausting a card?
You can generate resources both by discarding a card from your hand, or by using card abilities that generate resources. Hope that helps! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Didn't notice the card's ability
why you didnt flip when Obligation showed up?
Oh with Thor obligation you SHOULD have flipped to get Hammer back to attack.
Since both times they came up I was already exhausted in hero mode, and damaged quite a bit, I stayed in that form to use other attack cards on my next turn and then flip to the safety of alter-ego form. And at the end, I forgot I didn’t have the Hammer. lol
Couldn’t tell based on how you were discussing it but you can still flip back to alter-ego when you’re exhausted in hero mode. You then have no choice still but to resolve the second option on the obligation. Nice playthrough!
is "legal" (for building the deck,obviously), to have more than one Thor (or Captain America card" ?!?!
Per the rules, you can not have the same unique character in play. But for your games, you can do what you want. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer I'm not talking ab out "character" but about "character cards".
So, why would they have said that Captain America's Shield is restricted to 2 by player ?
@@maximem.ste-marie3578 Restricted is a keyword that means you can only have 2 restricted cards in play for each character. Hope that helps. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer yes, I know.
So.. if I buy a Captain America hero pack, I get only one shield. If I want another one, I have to buy another pack. It's why I wonder if I can have more than one specific character cards in a deck.
It makes sense ruleswise, since I didnt' see any rule about this.. but it doesn't make sens "flavorwise"
taking back something I said : deck constructing rules says that you have to have the exact quantity of specific characters card. Thing is : it's not said, except on Captain's Shield.
This is really confusing
