I feel confident that we'll see a Starjammers team at some point, given that: A) We have seen artwork for Corsair that is already paid for, and B) We saw so many cameos from the Shiar in the Kree stuff from HoG. You can't justifiably do Shiar without the Starjammers.

Raza and Hepzibah FTW!!!

I think they'll almost undoubtedly be in the next X-Men themed set we get.

I imagine the next 'X-Men' set will be something like... Shi'ar, Star Jammers, and 2-3 of the following X-Force/Excaliber/X-Statix(offchance, but who thought they'd appear in the first place?)/Exiles/X-Factor.

Here's to Excaliber, Exiles and somebody not the X-Statix! Hehe.

EDIT: Hey, post 1400, was I supposed to start a thread over that? :p

The question is.. are these cards legally playable ?

... :sigh: No.

-Mike

my ideal set would be X-Factor, Exacalibur (both heavily DA with X-Men of course), Shi'ar and I guess Starjammers, even though I don't really care about them all that much. Probably a Brood mini-team as well.

I don't think they'll ever refeature X-Statix, just because there isn't nearly enough content, and they aren't popular enough to warrant it anyway.

that kinda of sucks... turn 2... i'll recruit wolverine... BAM! 175 attack !! i'd literally s*** myself if i was playing someone who did that, what about you guys ?

Nah, the backs are different if nothing else...kind of a rusty red color...

BROOD! That's who I was trying to think of! I swear I typed Skrulls and thought to myself, "Why would the Skrulls be in an X-Men set!?" Hehe.

I'd definitely not rule out X-Statix "ever," because they do have a few cards to support a theme they never filled out and you have to imagine they might try and do that eventually. Plus they keep getting legacy so I imagine they have some fans in R&D. I mean, I like the cards, but don't know squat about the characters so I'm SORT of a fan I guess.

I'd definitely be down for X-Factor, Excalibur, Shi'ar, Starjammers and the Brood. Just hopefully not '07. '08 maybe?

-Mike

well, we'll definitely continue to see legacy for X-Statix, since they won't ever completely DROP a team, but I think making a refeature would be too tough. They don't really have any unused characters, and there was only a limited material to work with as it was.

I think it's very possible we'll see another X-set in '08, I don't think UDE will ever go too long without getting new X-Men content out. It's too big of a seller.

There is a Wolverine movie coming out in '08:

It is rumored that UDE will be featuring Alpha Flight as a team in '08. So possibly a Wolverine set with Alpha Flight as a secondary team? Are there enough supporting characters for a Wolverine set though? Maybe, since he's a one man killing machine, it'd be a mono-character deck?

OK - I've updated with more Beta Cards.

If savage beatdown were a beta card that read, "Target attacker gets +50atk "(which seems a bit low according to beta standards), Collussus would be a 260atk! That'd be some big hurts there.

Updated for Thurs!

The worst part about these, and one of the best part of the real VS, is the flavor text. God the flavor is just terrible on these "beta"s
