That would be quite a feat!

So you don't know anything for a fact.

The Batman starter is the one for more concern, as FF will be released in the middle of Modern Age.

The starter for FF will not be a Common Enemy deck. That is a gross error. It will have some new cards, some old cards. Rest assured, we will not see most of the cards from Common Enemy in this starter.

UDE did not market Common Enemy. It was a strong deck. How do you think it would destroy the Golden Age metagame? Common Enemy is completely legal in Golden Age now, and barely anyone plays it.

And "ill eat my own ass" practically deserves reporting your post. Please refrain from that kind of language when trying to make a point.

Agreed, but I disagree with the "fact"

LOL! That response actually brought a tear to my eye.

I don't quite get how they could make a textless card in Vs. I've seen the ones in Magic, but these were for cards that everyone knew what they did.

I thought these starter sets were to attract new players, and I don't think a newbie is going to know what 3-drop Thing's abilities are.

So if there is no Signal Flare or Boris in this set, what will the rares be? I could use another Heavy Hitter. :)

No, the textless cards will be new character cards without any abilities. It other words, maybe something like a 4-drop Thing that's a 7/7 and that's it. He has no other powers, just hits for 7 and can take 7 and is on the Fantastic Four. To balance out the lack of powers, the textless cards will probably be a little bigger than average for their drop: 7/8 or 8/7 or so.

Which might make them quite useful in a FF beats deck

to the dude who asked about inhumans -

do yourself a favor and pick up the trade paperback of the Marvel Knights story. Jae Lee art. Don't remember the writer, but the story arc was fantastic! Better than all the other original MK stories imho.

Was the inhumans arc a MK book?
I thought it was a tsunami launch.

Hey, Pojo seems to be under the impression that 16 alternate art cards will be sold with the movie trading cards. These will presumably be in the starter too, in some form or another, so we at least have some idea of how many reprints we'll be seeing.

i have heard the same romur, but about the batman trading cards based off the movie.

one vs card will be in each trading card pack for the batman begins movie.

and i guess they will do the same thing for FF.

a pretty neat idea.

Pretty nice way to cash in on those worthless Movie Trading cards you mean....

Here is the info from the Comics Buyer's Guide #1604.

"The Marvel Trading Card Game: Fantastic Four Starter sets have been pushed up to release in late May. The starter sets are designed for an introductory audience, and the cards will feature new art, focussing on characters and events in the FF movie - though the cards will not feature images from the movie itself.
Some cards will feature extended art with special foil treatment. Card play will be simplified from standard Vs. System play but be fully compatible. Each start set wil contain two 26 card preconstructed decks."

I want my 8 points for the release date.

Here is what Comics Buyers Guide said about the Batman cards:

"The previously announced Batman Begins entertainment card set has been cancelled, as have the movie photo image Vs. System DC TCC cards that were to be included with the set. Instead, UDE will publish a Batman Begins sticker book and collectible sticker set, which will not include DC TCG cards."

You get your 8 points.

You can spend them on um... well.... I'll think about it.
