She also has a few staple Protection cards in her pack like Energy Barrier and Tackle, that should appeal Protection-centric deck brewers out there. She’s one of my go-to heroes and designer Michael Boggs did an incredible job developing her. She has a very specific playstyle and an involved strategy that includes swapping to alter-ego often to trigger a lot of her alter-ego specific cards. Marvel is one of the best-designed heroes in the game, but she isn’t going to appeal to everyone. While everything so far has gotten a “buy it” rating, we’re entering polarizing territory now. With just this pack and the core set you can get a lot of mileage. The extra mods are the icing on the cake and it’s great to see another non-MCU villain after Rhino. It’s well-balanced in that standard play should feel doable, and expert play is incredibly punishing upfront: in a good way, to prevent the “solitaire” feeling you can sometimes get with a few scenarios. Mutagen Formula, however, is one of the most fun scenarios in the game and one of the most challenging. The idea of a “flipping” villain is intriguing and has not been replicated in the first year of the game’s existence. Risky Business, one of the two included scenarios, suffers from some design flaws in that it’s very easy to “game,” but thematically it still feels sound and may satisfy a more casual audience. So far in the game’s lifecycle, the value of two scenarios and four modular sets in one villain pack is pretty much unheard of. If you dig the core set, you need to pick up Green Goblin as soon as possible. Green Goblin is one of the best packs released to date: full stop. That “staple” pool is shrinking all the time as more cards are released though. If your friend is providing the scenarios for you and you’re just along for the ride, you don’t need the Core Set but you might be missing out on a few staple player cards. It’s the strongest LCG purchase to date from a value perspective. It also packs in five heroes, a ton of player cards (with full playsets), extra mods and three scenarios. If you’re playing completely solo, the Core Set comes with the standard and expert modular sets (seven and three cards respectively), which go in nearly every scenario deck to date (read: with the exception of Wrecking Crew at this time). It depends on how you plan to normally play the game. So is the core set required to play Marvel Champions? Yes and no. If you dislike the core set, we recommend trying to spice up the game a bit with this guide before you give it up for good. The first three scenarios should give you a good idea of what the game is all about, with Rhino easing you into the game and expert Ultron showcasing the high-end difficulty curve fairly well. The core set is going to be the starting point for most people as a no-brainer first buy.
