"I am looking forward to playing with DC Origins for a number of reasons. The cards in this new set do several things extremely well. They capture the flavor and history of the characters and distill them into powerful character cards, plot twists, locations, and equipment. The set’s artwork also lives up to the legacy of great artwork that is associated with one of DC’s highest profile properties.
The affiliations all seem very exciting from both the perspective of a tournament player and a comic book fan. Batman is one of the most well recognized characters in the history of modern media, and his adversaries have achieved similar iconic status. The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, and many others are recognizable to people who have never even picked up a comic book in their lives.
More hard-core fans of Bruce Wayne’s nighttime activities know that Batman’s most formidable foe keeps a lower media profile than the rest of his rogue’s gallery. While most of Batman’s foes have a history of mental disturbances, Ra’s al Ghul isn’t quite your normal, everyday criminally insane super villain. Ra’s al Ghul is a 600 year-old (or so he claims) criminal mastermind bent on cleansing the earth to create a new Eden in its place. No one knows his true name but he has also been called The Demon’s Head."
This is a very tactical card that can totally hose some of the big hitter combos out there.
Cards that could be affected:
Cyclops (Slim)
Fastball Special
Cosmic Radiation
It's Clobberin Time
Magneto (Eric Lensherr)
Asteroid M
Lost City
New Brotherhood (indirectly)
Savage Land
Robot Enforcer
Master Mold (indirectly)
Combat Protocols
Dick Grayson/Nightwing (Titan Leader)
Quite a few 'staples' in the list. The nice thing is that you can wait until they play one of these plot twists, put this on the chain, then when the plot twist resolves, there won't be any valid targets...
Yeah, and with Boris in your hand, you can get that Marvel Team-Up even faster. You can even say that the LoA and Doom affiliations could be the perfect crossover version of the Legion of Doom.
