Has anyone noticed the synergy that the Illuminati characters all have?

They all work off the top cards of your deck.

Does anyone think there may be support for an illuminati team in the future?

Well, there is 1 Illuminati left(Prof. Xavier), so atleast I think they will have "legacy" content.

What about Dr. Strange?

I'm not sure about this. They didn't dual-affiliate anybody has Illuminati so probably not, although I guess you never really know.

I could see some sort of alternate win card for them (if you have them all in play, you win the game, or something), but there aren't enough of them for their own team. That said, the Illuminati is awesome and I'm glad they got some mention!

Actually they forgot

Attack: 12
Defense: 11

Cosmic: Pay X endurance >>> Look at the top X cards of your deck. Put one of those cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your deck. Use this power only once per turn.

That is Dr. Strange Illuminati. So they have Strange covered already.

I don't think Black Panther wanted anything to do with the illuminati.

Professor X could be either their 1 or 7 drop in a future set....

Black panther isn't considered part of the illuminati I thought?

didn't he just host their first get together or something?

Black Panther refused to join the group, saying it was a terrible idea to have a select group of men secretly shaping events from behind the scenes. T'Challa refused to attend further meetings.

Panther is however currently keeping tabs on the illuminati.

You may look at the top card of your deck any time.

At the start of the combat phase, you may remove the top card of your deck from the game. If you do, distribute X +1/+1 counters among characters you control with the version Illuminati, where X is the cost of the card you removed.



A Meeting of Minds
Team-Up
Cost 2

Characters you control with the version Illuminati lose all team affiliatons and gain the Illuminati affiliation.

Pay 3 endurance -> Target character you control loses all versions and gains the version Illuminati this turn.

Black Panther = Batman?

Pretty much, they have been trying to push Black Panther from being a second rate character to the front of the roster what with his wedding and his preposterous 'defeating' of Dr Doom.

I'm not bitter :noid:

Word. :cool:
