btw, we have Aneka's dial from Scott's #3 video, but it's not on the front page.

It's 010. I just blew up the picture.
Makes sense. Iron Man chase should be 070 to Cap's 071, so Iron Man should have the lower-numbered Gauntlet, 009, and Cap the higher-numbered one, 010.

Now I have to go back and fix it so that everything isn't blown up...

Not what I expected from a Gauntlet.

Protected is always useful, and there are some powers there that are commonly found, but I think that given a choice I would go with the pick-a-power Gauntlet.

On the bright side, this Gauntlet is less likely to backfire on you, but you will probably be removing a token when you use it, so it's hard to count on more than 6 uses.

Opposing PC is going to be worth it whenever the wielder attacks.
The rest might be worth it whenever the opponent can attack with one of those powers*.
With the right tempo the opponent could make you burn through your protections fairly quickly.

It will be interesting to see in play.


* Poison is a little out of place to me. PC will protect you from outwit (absent Adam Warlock or ultra-chase Thanos or similar), and I figure that the piece that you will be most interested in protecting will probably be at least tough, so most poison won't matter anyway.

They brought back Pro-Registration?

At last check, that puts Pro figures up by 1, 24 to 23, over Anti-Registration. We Anti-Registration players need love, too!

Loki is a SR. Awaiting more info, but in the meantime...

MIND GEM
Effect: Modify Attack +1. Mind Control, Incapacitate. When this character hits, if the attack roll was 10 or higher, after resolutions they can use Mind Control at no cost. (Can repeat if you roll 10 or higher.)

Check my album for more info!

Mad props to my O.G. HC homie Dreamer2928 for the info! We've been hittin' the plastic crack together since Crisis was a newborn.

I understand the sentiments of most higher value figures will have a reducer, but there is still a good number that don't(i.e. Kang), and could still benefit when the opponent uses a penetrating Poison as well. However, considering most matches rarely last more that 7 rounds(whether by KO or time limit), and you have First Turn Immunity, this gauntlet will likely provide some level of protection all game, not to mention that statistically, it will really last 8-9 rounds, and you don't need to use it if your opponent is all token'd up.

Iron Spidey and Loki feel like wash over from other sets. Had they saved Cabal Loki for this set instead of a chase in TMT I might feel different, but meh to just another iteration of Loki without significant bearing to the subthemes. If any other Asgardian was gonna make it into this set was excepting Imitation Enchantress.

Keywords please? I assume the Mind Gem comes with him, I like it quite a bit. Wish the shape change trait got the extra bit if he also had an infinity gauntlet equipped, but that is a very minor gripe. I would be happy just with Asgardian and Mystical keywords, but really hoping this one has at least Cabal, if not a few more.

Did you see he has an infinity sword? What set is that held over from?

Oh man, definitely need to know those keywords. I had a feeling we might see loki. Yet another of Osborn's cabal, and I would be surprise if he (she? Lol) doesn't have the keyword.

Wrong story, unfortunately. They dont seem to be referencing The Bendis Cabal.

I'm not familiar with it, I wasn't even aware of a time Loki was using the infinity stones. Regular Loki just feels disconnected from the set though, versus Cabal Loki.

Well, figured I'd get this up as-is. Feel free to repost with edits once the rest of the info is available.

#COALTIGER

Is it me or is this set like half micro-dials like we saw from some sets but half 75 or 100-point 6/7 click dials from sets before that trend?

Honestly, I'd love a fusion of both to give us team-friendly options *and* ultimate/encompassing ones.
