The hosts discuss team-up cards in Marvel Champions, exploring their potential impact and suggesting ways to improve them. They analyze the 'psychic rapport' card, debate custom art, and delve into strategic gameplay with Cyclops and Phoenix. The chapter ends with a request for listener feedback.
Team-up cards in Marvel Champions need improvement for better impact and usefulness.
Psychic Rapport card struggles due to its cost and limited benefits, especially for Cyclops.
Art and theming shine in Psychic Rapport, but its mechanical power falls short in practicality and fun.
Deep dives
Art and Theming of Psychic Rapport
The art in Psychic Rapport is well done and thematically aligned with the characters involved. The concept of readying Cyclops and boosting Phoenix's power counters ties into their playstyles.
Mechanical Power and Fun Element
Psychic Rapport struggles in terms of power and fun. The card's two-cost price tag limits its impact, especially since you have to choose between two benefits, which may not always feel worth the cost.
Individual Hero Usage
When evaluating the card outside of the team-up context, players might not include it in their decks, especially for Cyclops. The benefits of readying and restoring Cyclops cards may not always provide enough value to justify its inclusion.
Overall Assessment and Score
In conclusion, Psychic Rapport receives mixed reviews. While the art and theming shine, the mechanical power and fun aspects fall short due to the cost and limited benefits. The card's individual hero usage also raises questions about its practicality. As a result, it lands on the lower end of the rating spectrum, averaging around a 4 out of 10.
