Can anyone clarify?

The Alpha Flight ATA gives me +1 attack vs. a designated character or team.

When picking a team for the ATA, how are Wildcards dealt with? For example, My opponent has two wildcards. If they copy another TA, what happens with respect to the AF ATA if I had selected the wildcard TA? What if I selected the copied TA instead?


Thanks in advance...

Alpha Flight targets the team SYMBOL, not the team ability. Therefor, if you choose for instance Brotherhood for your Alpha Flight ATA, then you only get the bonus against people who have that physical team symbol. (Magneto/Pyro/Fabian Cortez etc.) You DO NOT get the bonus against Doom, Spider-Man, or any other Wildcard, no matter which TAs they are copying.

Where do you see it mentioned either way?

"All friendly characters with the Avengers team ability have
the following team ability instead of the Avengers team
ability: At any time during the game, choose an opposing
team or character as your target. Once the character or team
is chosen, it may not be changed. An Alpha Flight team
member increases its attack value by 1 when attacking the
chosen team or character."

In that definition, the key word IMO is "team". It has do definer behind it, saying "ability" or anything else. Members of any individual TEAM are the people that possess that team symbol. Therefor Spider-Man may be using the Batman Team Ability, he is still on the SPider-Man TEAM. That's how I read it.

Exactly.
That's how you are reading it.
There isn't any indication one way or the other that the simple word "team" means any specific thing as far as whether it is team ability, team symbol, team affiliation, or whatever.
As much argument could be made that it means team ability as can be made for symbol.

When you say "Members of any individual TEAM are the people that possess that team symbol." you are assuming the conclusion.

however though it may seem that way they do not share the team, and another thing about that is that spider-man anany other wild-cards can just change there ability for that turn which nullifies the AF ATA either way

And here I was interpreting it as meaning that "team"="opposing player's force". Add that to the confusion.

and Keywords.

I once chose as my enemy in a 4 way game my brothers' whole team. They were made up of all kind of different team symbols/abilities, but it says choose a team and I said "yours."
I'm pretty sure this is the incorrect way to play it, but why?

Yes, that's incorrect.
Because the writer didn't think far enough ahead to realize that TEAM has more connotations than SYMBOL.

So I want to make sure I understand:

My opponent's force includes R Scarlet Witch (Brotherhood TA), E Scarlet Witch (Ultimate X-Men TA), and V Scarlet Witch (Ultimates TA).

My Vet She-Hulk has Alpha Flight. I can only choose to use Alpha Flight against one of the three TAs, or is this incorrect?

In this case you should choose Scarlet Witch.

When you choose a character, you only choose one character. Not any other characters that happen to have the same name.
