How to Play MARVEL CHAMPIONS Step-by-Step | Post-Rules 1.6

[@ShaneDickerson-zo8kv]

For some reason, I’ve had such a brain block trying to learn this game. I’ve read the manual and watched many videos and this is the one that finally clicked for me; mainly because you go out of your way to point out why things are and why other things can’t be. THANK YOU 🙏

[@webwarriorfanatic]

You’re very welcome! Marvel Champions is a tough game to get into rule wise but I’m glad to hear this video helped out! Enjoy the game :)

[@sdankle9312]

Best tutorial out there that I’ve seen so far!! Thanks for the video. I think I’m finally ready to play with my kids 😅

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Woooo have fun! I’m glad this helped :)

[@honeylady108]

So happy to see this new video! I haven't played MC in over a year and I have been thinking about pulling it out but I knew I would have to relearn--now it's no problem! Thanks for the video, I found your link in the facebook MC group.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Awesome! I’m really happy to hear that. Happy gaming and if you have questions feel free to ask

[@Nomis-i9j]

Great video, I’m going to watch it again to make sure I understand the game correctly. Thanks

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Glad this was helpful! Feel free to ask any questions :)

[@davew1337]

What a great video idea for newer players I’ve seen!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks Dave! I hope this video is easy to follow :)

[@steelbeard151]

Thanks for the great video. I appreciate your hard work in showing not only the turn phases summaries, but also circling very clearly where to find each symbol or keyword you were explaining. Made it very easy to follow you. Happy to like and subscribe. Hope your channel grows fast.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that :) That was a big problem for me when i started playing this game, not being able to find the symbol or keyword that was referred to so I’m really glad this helped. Welcome to the channel!!

[@Nodnarb518]

This was awesome, just picked up the core and excited to try this. Subbed.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Welcome to the community! This is really the best game ever :) If you have any questions feel free to ask

[@YourTamedLion]

I recognized this shuffle technique immediately when I saw you play in a 3 player match. Good video to learn the game. A game that will keep going on for the forseeable future 🥳

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Hahaha iykyk! And thank you. I was so excited to hear that FFG still has big plans for Champions :)

[@kipperespadero9688]

Great video. @ 33:07 After revealing the 1st encounter card, aren't you supposed to reveal a 2nd one?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks! The first encounter card that encounter phase was the Stampede which triggered Spider-Sense causing Spider-Man to deck out and get dealt a second encounter card which was the Charge

[@kev971]

Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. It'd be awesome to see you play through some campaigns.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad this was helpful. I do have campaigns on the channel, my most recent one was Galaxy’s Most Wanted: kzbin.info/aero/PLd1L46Smijx2HVQb_7qyuQjvUTAoEeKs1&si=c-U_9iX7VolV_nsk

[@sharlza1]

Great gameplay thank you. I have MC coming in the post and will re-watch this video then. Thanks for making it.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Awesome! I’m so excited for you. Hope you enjoy the game :)

[@diegoseba12]

If there are any new players reading this. Remember an "interrupt" trigger happens BEFORE the listed condition. And a "Response" trigger happens AFTER the listed condition.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks for emphasizing that! All true!

[@Andre01177]

I have to say thank you so much for this video. This video broke down the game much better for me than any other video plus the rule book. You have to do more of these with different hero’s and villains you do an amazing job explaining things!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you’re getting into the game, that’s what this channel is here for :)

[@Mightyjordy]

Wow you made the game look easy. Thank you!!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

You’re very welcome 😁 Champions can definitely be overwhelming at first but playing more helps a lot

[@mikehall9240]

Great play through and explanations. Thanks for the video!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks Mike! Glad it’s informative 😁

[@ppierce72]

Great video. Very informative, and you moved through the phases at a good pace for people to follow along with. An unrelated question: Where did you get the fancy hero card? Thanks!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thank you :) I got the promo card from ebay. I believe they had these when the game first launched, but used is the only way to get them now :(

[@adzymack]

Great video! I just bought the core set tonight and would like to protect my cards. Could you please share what card protectors you are using and recommend? Thank you (:

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thank you! Dragon Shield clear matte for Hero cards, Penny sleeves for Encounter cards

[@jehoba]

@@adzymack i use gamgenic clear matte. They are a little bit cheaper afaik and also a good choice

[@adzymack]

Thank you both, I ended up going with gamegenic because they were a little cheaper and my local card shop had just enough to cover all the cards for play tonight. Had a blast and felt way better knowing they were all protected from the start. Thanks again! 😊

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@adzymack Nice!! Glad you got a good price and have your cards protected :)

[@Jason-rv2wb]

Great teaching video for newbies, thank you!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

You’re welcome! Glad you liked this video :)

[@englishteacherdrew]

What are you using to keep your hero cards in? It looks like a hard plastic case of some kind?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Not sure if you saw my previous comment, but it's a baseball card case! Here is a link to something similar: www.tcgplayer.com/product/212909/collectible-storage-ultra-pro-toploaders-35-pt-onetouch-card-holder?country=US&adgroupid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAj9m7BhD1ARIsANsIIvBiuYxUCl0tCet2ampTg9usKCoFfwNHPnm4b1BQZg8amU4nAZpa5_IaAqrSEALw_wcB&Language=English

[@englishteacherdrew]

Do you still use these for the hero cards that fold open Like Ant-man or angel?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@englishteacherdrew i didn’t use sleeves for 3 sided heroes for a long time (I still don’t have any videos using sleeves for them), but i was recently sent a 3 sided hero sleeve slider like this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3fKfmOhlt2KiJY

[@Ucklator-t9i]

1 small correction. You should shuffle the player and encounter decks before resolving the starting scheme as they may take from or alter those decks.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks! Good point!

[@diegoseba12]

2:43 I think this is wrong. You do HAVE to put one modular encounter set. It doesn't have to be Bomb Scare, but the encounter deck still needs one set. Bomb Scare just happens to be the set the designers reccomend for the Rhino scenario. Am I wrong?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

When a modular set is required it’ll say in the contents “One Modular Encounter Set (Down to Earth)” for example. Mojomania’s Magog also requires a modular set but not a specific one. It’s setup also says “One Modular Encounter Set” then specifies (a random mojo set)

[@solomarvelchampion]

Great video! I was going to make this video too but now I'll just point others to yours!

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks man! And i would encourage you to make your own. It can only be more beneficial for new players to have more resources :)

[@solomarvelchampion]

@@webwarriorfanatic I might. Since you did Spider-Man I'll do Captain Marvel :)

[@TheBearDrew000]

Since it is an interrupt, can great responsibility prevent you from losing during step 1 of the villain phase - If there were 6 threat on the main scheme and 1 threat “would be placed”-

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Yes, the threat will have been prevented in that scenario and you won’t lose the game!

[@walkinginsingapore8548]

Nice guide tutorial

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thank you so much! Hope it helps :)

[@j3cubed562]

Thank you so much for this video! My wife and I used to play this all the time, and then we had to stop for a few months. We tried playing last night and were confused about what to do. We completely forgot to deal with the face-down booster cad each time and forgot that after you beat the first phase, there's a second phase, lol. Not only that, but we beat level 1 Rhino and were like, wow, that was extremely easy. This can't be right, lol. Question: You were able to thwart the side scheme Breakin & Takin, does that mean the hazard is gone as well? So if Rhino lived and attacked he'd get the normal 1 face-down booster, but after that he'd get 2 encounter cards correct? Or since the side scheme was beat he'd get the normal one face-down booster and 1 encounter card after that?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Really glad this helped out! I’ve definitely made those same mistakes before when i first started 😂 In regards to Breakin’ and Takin’ and its hazard icon, if Rhino lived he would attack as normal with his boost card, then when we deal encounter cards we would check for any hazards in play, and since there is one Rhino would deal 2 encounter cards

[@michaelhill8697]

Watched 3 tutorials and was missing multiple small things that are going to make the game a lot harder (which is good because it was feeling too easy). Gonna finish the box im playing with the rules we have been using and then going to "take off the training wheels"

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Good luck! And don’t feel alone, most people when they start playing including me missed rules that make the game easier. Unfortunately rules mistakes never make the game more difficult 😅

[@Eeeville]

Technically not every card you used was in the core box... I'd recommend adding a notation that the hero card looks different because it's a promo.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Oof good point maybe i shouldn’t have used promo Pete for this 😅

[@davidko9289]

That incorporated a lot of nuances that aren't readily obvious. Did you script/stack the decks? Or coincidental?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

No scripts or stacking! I made a note to play interrupts, didn’t get a chance to showcase Backflip though and got lucky with having enough damage for the kill that final round

[@wkumher]

First off, great video! Question: At roughly 33 minutes in during the deal encounter cards step of the villain phase. Shouldn't the encounter cards be revealed in the order in which they were dealt, meaning Charge would have been attached to Rhino before Stampede was revealed and resolved (Because Charge was dealt when your deck was emptied)?

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thank you :) There’s a couple of different layers to your question-the rulings state that the player may choose to reveal encounter cards in order that they choose, though most players including myself try to reveal them in the order they are dealt. In regards to this game, Stampede was actually the first and only encounter card that was dealt during the “dealing of encounter cards.” The next step in turn villain phase is to reveal all the encounter cards that are dealt, with stampede being the only facedown card. So stampede is revealed, then Rhino initiates an attack, triggers Spider-Sense, i deck out, i deal myself another facedown card (Charge), then complete the resolution of stampede. Then, since I’m still in the step where I’m revealing encounter cards, and there happens to still have facedown encounter cards in front of me to reveal, i must keep on revealing so then i reveal the charge. I’m not sure if i did the best job of explaining that but hopefully it makes sense. If it doesn’t lmk!

[@wkumher]

​@@webwarriorfanaticmy apologies I must have been sidetracked and missed the timing. I was under the impression that you decked out during his initial attack and drew the encounter card stampede after drawing the encounter card for decking out. But the rules do state that each player reveals each of their encounter cards in the order in which they were dealt. Which you obviously did

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@wkumher No worries! Totally understandable. For the order of encounter cards, this is the most updated ruling I've seen from the developers: "The order you reveal encounter cards does not matter. The one exception is if you reveal a card with surge, you must reveal the top card of the encounter deck immediately after resolving that card, even if you still have a facedown encounter card in front of you. -Caleb" I'm not 100% positive if this has been recently changed

[@wkumher]

@@webwarriorfanatic I really appreciate you getting back with me. I was referencing the 1.6 rules reference guide page 43 under villain phase step four. " the first player reveals each of their encounter cards one card at a time in the order in which they were dealt". However, I really did enjoy your video and I look forward to watching more.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@wkumher ooo you’re absolutely right. I would go with that most recent ruling. Thanks for quoting it :)

[@YTZack408]

I’m confused on what to do with the nemesis cards. The instructions say to put them out of play but I don’t see how they integrate with the game. (Playing spiderman vs rhino)

[@webwarriorfanatic]

You’re correct that they are set out of play. There are certain encounter cards that bring them in. In the core set, from the Standard I modular set, there’s a card called “Shadow of the Past.” When this encounter card is revealed, the player who revealed it grabs their set aside nemesis minion and puts it into play

[@YTZack408]

@ ah gotcha! Thanks

[@webwarriorfanatic]

@@YTZack408 you’re welcome!

[@jehoba]

I can not use my own helicarrier in the encounter phase for an interrupt etc. if i need to? 😲 I think i played this wrong alot of times :D I used the helicarrier like other ressource cards without the "action" keyword. Seems like this video is not only for beginners ;D

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Yes, you can use other resource generators like Web-Shooter and Quincarrier during the encounter phase. Unfortunately “action” cards like Helicarrier and Team-Building Exercise are limited to the player phase.

[@danacoleman4007]

you might want to try slowing down your speech a little bit and being a little more clear and precise. I'm sure what you are saying is worth listening to but it's rather difficult to understand at times. Good effort.

[@webwarriorfanatic]

Thanks for the advice! I definitely need to slow it down forsure
