I'm sure that by now you guys are all familiar with the awesomeness that is the 6-drop Captain Marvel from JSA. I myself have managed to shout "Shazam!" no less than three times during the sneak peak. Tell me, is there any ability on all of VS System that comes anywhere near as cool as this one? I think not.

Question time: Is it legal to attempt to restrain your opponent or make him laugh or something such that he cannot say "Shazam!"?

did you get a playmat?

If the card is what he's hinting at then I'm very excited to see it.

It's a 6 Drop JSA Captain Marvel:

1/1

Discard a JSA Character Card, Say "SHAZAM"->Put a Cosmic Counter on Captain Marvel.

COSMIC: Captain Marvel gets +13/+13

Or something like that. Rumors are flying around everywhere. :)

That is the absolute coolest friggin thing ever.

Agreed.

I find it somewhat disturbing, however, that Kryptonite owns this guy about 12 times harder than it owns any version of Superman. :ermm:

Well, at least you can replace the counter- but yeah, that is weird.

ARe you kidding me.... The effect of is to say "Shazam"? Jeez talk about being an idiot while playing VS. Now I am going to feel more like a geek then ever before.

This is awesome. This beats the "Enchant Opponent" Enchantment from Magic: The Gatherings newest set x100.

Heh, since saying Shazam! is a cost, you don't have priority while the opponent is saying it. I think you need priority to tickle someone, so you're out of luck. ;)

On a more seriously curious (curiously serious?) side, I'm assuming that a deaf Vs. player would be given some leeway if he decided to run a JSA deck. If I pull this guy at a pre-release, I may sign Shazam! and see if any lightning hits.

I was wondering about leeway too, Hero. Maybe that's the cost on the card, but won't be on the OCR, so that you don't actually HAVE to say Shazam?

Definitely cool, though.

Yeah, that possibility crossed my mind, like they did for Etrigan back in DOR. They're both examples where the card is incredibly cool and totally perfect for flavor, so it wouldn't be totally out of left-field. Then again, even my inner rules-guy would probably be okay with this card just being an exception.

Gasp! Is it possible the Superman starter was cancelled for Vs. Unglued?!

Me & my buddy are going to get some sweet mileage out of this card. We're fond of saying, "ShazAM, #####es!" when we beat down on someone.

This is tasty and then some.

That is so cool, and he is a Six Drop great.

Right, Etrigan! I wasn't sure if they had done anything like what I said, but that might be very possible then.

You just blew my mind.
