I have a hard time with the notion that Marvel Origins is the best set when there are so many blatant mistakes in it from a design standpoint.
Not egregious ones for the most part (other than Longshot), but as the initial set, it's the set with the cards that are just SLIGHTLY overpowered (5-drop Thing, 4-drop Sabretooth) for what you get. Since then, UDE has more clearly laid out what a competitive drop with an additional cost should do. Compare Zarathos's cost with Thing's (a character bounce versus a mere reveal) or Linda Danvers' vs. Sabretooth (discarding a character card jumps you up ONE rank in swing potential rather than one and a half to two ranks, and you get an attack restriction on top of that).
There's that sort of thing all over the place in Marvel Origins (and to a lesser extent in DC). Signal Flare and Bat-Signal are way better tutors than just about anything else in the game (note how much more limited tutors have gotten in Web and MoS, while for the most part still remaining reasonably playable). There hasn't been any new pump introduced that works with Overload because it's totally redundant compared to Beatdown and Flying Kick. 7-drops have reduced stats (hence Magneto being #####d into every deck you can possibly imagine based solely on his exceptional statline).
It's the first set, so yes, there's bound to be this kind of thing in the first set, it happens in every card game, and in VS it wasn't nearly as bad as it has been in some games. But calling Marvel Origins "the best" because it has "the best cards" kind of misses the point. It doesn't have the BEST cards. It has the MOST POWERFUL cards. From the standpoint of keeping the game healthy and long-lived, the two are not necessarily the same thing.
The best set of 2004 was(well,theres 2) both of the DC sets were waaaay tooo broken, Have a Blast,Fizzle,Teen Titans, The Source,Tower of Babel,The Demons Head. etc. etc.
Card wise are:
MOR:
Acrobatic Dodge
Savage Beatdown
Ka-Boom
Boris
Bastion
Dr. Doom(4 drop)
and the entire affiliation of F4
DOR:
Have a Blast!
Fizzle
Teen Titans
Garth
Mountain Stronghold
Tower of Babel
Alfred
DSM:
The Source
New Teen Titans
Omega Beams
Darkseid
Superman
Detective Work
Jason Todd
The Demons Head
Pit of Madness
Orion(8 drop)
Imperiex
Bizarro World
Revenge Pact
Eradicator(TS)
Superman-False Son
etc.
Those are all cards that are up there and I mean really up there.well those are just my thoughts.
O.K, so MOR has it's problems, but titans is starting to be put under pressure by the new sets coming out. Especially MK, i.e 8-drop Ghost Rider, who says bye bye Titans. So MOR is truly one of the best sets.
mor is great i play non affiliation a deck which only really works because of mor mojo and mojo world are just to handy add to them random punks, black and death-strike and its pretty sorted for charters. throw in burn rubber, overload, dual side arms and personal forcefield and your and you've got your plot twits and equipment covered
