MARVEL CHAMPIONS First Play of ANT-MAN with Pre-Constructed Deck going against KANG

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Rules explanations/clarifications/mistakes: 1. At 11:50, the damage from "After the Attack" would happen after the ATK damage is applied, not before.

[@harmarize]

is that an error at 11:50? The upgrade says after attack, you took off the toughness for the 1atk shouldn't have it been taken off for the 3 atk? Inconsequential since you could have done stuff in a different order to get rid of tough with 1 dmg Great job as always, and Ant Man looks like fun

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@harmarize You are correct! That would happen after the ATK damage is applied. Thanks for watching, and keeping me in check! Ant-Man is fun to play, many options depending on the situation the villain puts you in. :)

[@Mordred41407]

Nice play! Ant Man is great, but I think the even better part of his pack are all the new ally attachments. I randomed a Spider-man Leadership game tonight and had both Iron Man (who gets all those upgrades for free) and Black Cat completely upgraded. It was sick. With Black Cat taking no damage from attacking with Inspired, Sky Cycle, and Power Gloves on, she was getting in 6 free damage every turn with worries of burning herself out. I think it’s made Leadership my new favorite aspect.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Scot Phelps BLACK CAT for the WIN!! It will make me want to play Leadership Spiderman for sure! :)

[@Mordred41407]

Someone on Discord pointed out that Black Cat can't equip all that stuff without Honorary Avenger on her. Oops!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@Mordred41407 Gotta make her an Avenger first! Good luck! :)

[@DavidHargis]

Great game Dale. I finally cracked open my Kang pack and needed a look see to see how it is suppose to be set up. Thanks

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@David Hargis Thanks for watching! Kang does work a bit differently from all the other villain packs. Good luck!! :)

[@quigonphill]

Kang against Ant-man, very awesome. Started watching these vids and have since got the core set and a few of the scenarios and hero packs. Will be picking up Ant-man so good

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Phill Hodgkiss Glad I was able to help you find a great game!! And Ant-Man will make a powerful addition to your collection! :)

[@SaschaKleiber]

14:10 omg, I didn't know you could discard cards at the end of the turn to draw new ones...

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Sascha Kleiber Doesn't happen often, but can make a difference depending on what's going on in the game! :)

[@ragnotgreymane]

Sascha, Dale has pointed out so many things I didn’t know and I have only been watching his videos a few months. Watch out for more tips lol

[@Yacovo]

Thanks for the videos.

[@writerguy911]

I was not really excited about this hero pack when it was announced but after watching this video and a few unboxing videos it looks right up my alley. Can't wait for him to turn up!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@writerguy911 The dual hero modes is a great mechanic, and his abilities are amazing! Hope you enjoy! :)

[@chrisvillegas5182]

wow now this is going to be a movie next week :D quantumania

[@fiameofudun6452]

Very nice! My copy is in the mail and should hopefully arrive over the weekend

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Flame of Udun Have fun this weekend!! :)

[@djk89]

Great video. Ant-Man looks like so much fun.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Daniel King He has options, which is always fun to play. I think that's why I also like Dr. Strange so much too! :)

[@Nailgraizer]

I'm impressed you took on such a hard Villain with a brand new hero. I'm personally loving Ant-Man, his cards are so flavorful. I love Army of Ants!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Austin To be honest, I did a poll with members of my KZbin channel ... and they picked Kang. lol Crossbones was second, so he'll be next, but in Expert Mode.

[@Nailgraizer]

@@DaletheCasualGamer I look forward to it!

[@thomaswhaley9159]

Great game. It didn’t look like it was your first game with him. All of your moves were perfectly played.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Thomas Whaley Thanks! I might be an Ant Whisperer. ;) He plays pretty easy, many choices but they all are straight forward , and I see no reason not to switch between hero forms each turn! I believe we have a new "top hero" in Marvel Champions!

[@thomaswhaley9159]

@@DaletheCasualGamer I have seen many people on here play him and struggle. The game is great when you make good choices.

[@jaulloa21]

6:15 alter ego form,, the minions scheme? Instead of attacking.

[@thefullmetal999]

This is where the fun begins!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@thefullmetal999 It sure is! Ant-Man really is fun to play with all his options and great card pool. Expert mode coming for his future plays. :)

[@waltercardcollector]

Hey at 13:05 or so, you changed to Tiny form but you didn't draw a card from the helmet! Nice video otherwise - I want to pick up this hero pack just for Team-Building Exercise!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Walt Gottlieb I'm bound to miss a thing or two, glad it hurt me instead of the villain. :) Thanks for watching! Ant-Man is a great pack. :)

[@88rogerio]

Oh my gosh!Ant man is super powerful!what do you think?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@88rogerio You are right, he is super powerful and easy to play. Definitely a top notch hero!

[@WanderingKumquat]

Curious when Wasp attacked the guy with retaliate wouldnt wasp have died? 1 damage from retaliate and 1 from using her?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@TrippleZero Retaliate only triggers if the character survives the attack. Hope that helps! :)

[@WanderingKumquat]

@@DaletheCasualGamer thank you!

[@ragnotgreymane]

Ant man is amazing. The 2 hero forms is so cool. Are there more play throughs with him on the way?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Ragnot I think there is about 6 playthroughs with Ant-Man, so you'll get a good look at him. :)

[@emstersqui5135]

Hiya! My husband loves to watch you play this game and the strategy’s you use! Haha he’s teaching me and it’s great! I want to surprise him with accessories like yours, but I can’t find the bar you have that holds the villains cards. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it? Also! That mat, it says it can be used by 1-4 players, what’s your opinion on it? Is it worth buying?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Emsters Qui That's Awesome!! The holder is UberStax and can be ordered from www.uberstax.com . I enjoy having a mat for the cards, so there is the larger mat that I use, and there are also smaller mats with pics of the heroes ... so maybe one for each of you and one for the villain, depending on how many cool accessories you want. Glad you two are enjoying the game, and thanks for watching! :D

[@derekmong2427]

So at 11:13 you played First aid but only took 1 damage off? Did I miss something?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Derek Mong Nope, math is sometimes a problem. Thanks! :)

[@jirayu1424]

Nice antman helmet is great

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

:)

[@jankarp1959]

Hey. What sleeves do you use?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Jan Karp I use DragonShield clear matte sleeves and love them! Thanks for watching! :)

[@goose7692]

Army of ants looked very strong

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Goose 7 Army of Ants with his Helmet ... TOOOOO Good!!!

[@chuckawade1]

At 11:01 shouldn't you have added an acceleration token?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Chuck Wade that symbol on cards only triggers at the the beginning of the villain phase. Hope that helps! :)

[@duanebarth5925]

Hey Dale! At 7:20, you swung +3 ATK bypassing Ancient Warrior. Is this legal or should I return to day drinking?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Duane Barth Haha! The Ancient Warrior doesn't have "Guard" so I can ignore him and attack the villain. You may return to drinking, but probably just water. ;)

[@robertrice7093]

At 5:10 Why did Ronin get 2 consequential damage instead of 1? I'm new to this, so honestly just curious.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Robert Rice No problem, the enemy he attacked had 'Retaliate' and did a damage back to him, and then he took his 1 consequential damage. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! :)

[@robertrice7093]

@@DaletheCasualGamer Great! That makes sense. I haven't played with a lot of villains yet. So I didn't know they had retaliate.

[@chauveet]

Is it just me, or is Giant Ant-Man better at doing damage than the Hulk?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Evan Chauvette It's not just you. I totally agree. Hulks big card does +10ATK with a possible overkill, while Ant-Mans big attack card does 1 to minions and then 8 to an enemy. Hulks card requires it be part of his basic attack, Ant-Mans doesn't. Now they need a new Hulk deck with the "smart" Hulk flip mechanic. :)

[@PaintingwithFlare]

Will you do a Hulk solo video Dale? :)

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@PaintingwithFlare I think I just have one solo play with Hulk and all the others were team-ups. I do have a team-up with Hulk and Ant-Man in the works. Unfortunately, for me, Hulk didn't have the Punch I was hoping for.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@PaintingwithFlare Here's a link to the solo play ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpnYeoiti9B-jas

[@oliverpetersen3930]

Wait shouldn't there have been kang domain?

[@Kazimachine]

Came to ask the same thing!

[@Guyito775]

So much fun right? I hated you dumped the pym particles at the beginning but quickly forgave you when you said “Ants in my pants” Who are your top heroes? My top two have been Iron Man and Ms. Marvel with Black Widow closely behind. Ant-Man instantly jumps up to that top tier.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Guy Ryan Haha! I'm glad I was able to be forgiven. Dad jokes overcome poor decisions, sometimes. lol My top 3 heroes at the moment are 1) Dr. Strange, 2) Captain America, and 3) IronMan. Close behind those would be Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and the new and sometimes tiny Ant-Man. :)

[@Memmnarch1981]

You stopped using you custom penny tokens after used them 1 or 2 times...

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Memmnarch1981 I really thought they worked well, but received a few comments that they were harder to view on screen, so back to the originals for recordings. They still come out when I play with my game group. Thanks for watching!

[@noodlemans]

Shouldn't you have been dealing yourself an extra encounter card each round because of the side scheme? I think you were only pulling one each round.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

The side scene added an additional threat, not encounter card. Hope that helps!

[@noodlemans]

@@DaletheCasualGamer I must’ve gotten my icons wrong. Thanks for the clarification. So I guess in solo mode, kang’s individual play areas for each player never really comes into effect. Correct?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Correct, Kang is really designed for playing with multiple characters. :)
