Are you planning to do venom and twisted ambition guide videos too?

[@evancampbell1829]

Let’s go can’t wait for more villainous!!!

[@notmydance]

As first comment I must ask this: Which Ally from all of the M&M Villains is your favorite? And what is your favorite gimmick M&M introduced?

[@LordoftheBoard]

My favorite ally has got to be Leader - the villain card discount is just so satisfying. But I am also a fan of The Hood - just because I love the Hood so much ❤️ Favorite gimmick has gotta be Controlled Locations - something you will learn in Madame Masques video. :) it’s very thematic - feels good. And is fun!

[@SPARTANoh11]

I watched the Loki video like 5 times already. I’m rewatching this one for the 3rd time already lol. I cannot wait for this expansion. I hope Target has it on the shelf on August 1st as I didn’t wanna pre order because I didn’t wanna wait any longer!

[@LordoftheBoard]

I believe they will! Get it while you can. I know shipping will be rough.

I find M.O.D.O.K. to be a lot of fun. I actually got 3 misprints with mine though. The Infinite Calculations card has a 2 on the bottom left, all three copies do. I found out I'm not alone on this. Other people have had it too.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Yes that was a misprint in the 1st edition. I believe you can get them replaced by emailing Ravensburger Support.

[@redstonerush]

So wait, how does an expansion for Marvel Villainous work? Wouldn't players need the base Fate cards from the main box to play the game normally? Also take a look at the "Chapters" of this video because they're the same as the Loki video.

[@LordoftheBoard]

It comes with a set of unique common cards :) you can mix and match both decks or you can choose one before the game

[@redstonerush]

Not even loki, characters like thanos or just having the infinity stones out you can get the stone that allows you to activate something for free or even the stone that allows you to look for a card for free. Also you could use lady loki to get hail modok's back as well.

15:39 - Are those the only cards that let you gain loyalty?

[@LordoftheBoard]

Yes. Hence his incredibly deck churning tools. But also creating the cube can be activated multiple times to gain 1 loyalty a turn for 3 power

[@job489]

@@LordoftheBoard Hence the MODOK player is more likely to use Loki's Multiverse cards that allow him to gain power. Look forward to your video on Madame Masque.

I must say, it will be quite a challenge to go through every Oath card on one video

[@LordoftheBoard]

Haha omg that would be nuts 😂

[@dapperghost3409]

a good strategy for modok is when you have the cube to not play it until you can activate it and win, but only when you have 5 or 4 loyalty and you can activate it in one turn. it kind of like a lock to the other players because powerless cant stop you in that turn.

[@firststar1116]

Lesssssgooooooo!!!! Part 2😁

[@LordoftheBoard]

Now for part 3

[@calook1334]

A bit of a late comment, but nonetheless, I think my Villainous may have come with a misprint. Is Thanos' Taste of Cosmic Power an Item or an Effect? I would assume it's an Effect, however, two of my three copies say Item.

[@freddietickle732]

Is that a grey villainous box in the background just above your infinite power box, or am I just insane?

[@LordoftheBoard]

That is the Mischief and Malice box with the target exclusive sleeve :)

@@LordoftheBoard Oh right, nice

[@sym3979]

4:04 so is he not discarded in vanquish actions?

[@LordoftheBoard]

He is! He just essentially defeats any hero he vanquished first.

[@Chairman_Mao]

So I'm curious about the deck churning abilities here. Say you get Cosmic Cube in your hand early in the game. If you discard it, would you be able to churn through your deck reliably enough to get the card back in your hand when you need it at 5 loyalty?

[@LordoftheBoard]

If you get it at the beginning. Yes

[@thebarista814]

Question:If a card says to lose one loyalty. Can you play it even if you have no loyalty or must you have loyalty?

[@alsenddrake7764]

I'd personally think you could, because it's lose and not pay/spend, and many games do differentiate. But Villainous has some odd rulings, so we'll see.

[@LordoftheBoard]

You can! This would be the best time to play these cards. And then when you are trying to win the game and hike up the loyalty track stop using them :)

[@tylermacfarlane7645]

No MODOK costume? I was hoping this was a new trend for LOTB to dress up as whatever character is being covered! Maybe we will see a Madame Masque suit next vid.

Seriously XD Seems when I start coming up with gimmicks others think up similar things. Started on my first custom, and that calculate ability is similar to a number of the custom's cards as they need to churn through their deck to force a reshuffle asap.

Haha this has been in development for over a year. I get where you are coming from. It’s like no idea is truly unique 😭 I’m sure your character can have enough differences to warrant creating it

[@jamielewis9419]

With aim scientist Supreme do you lose 1 loyalty at the start of each turn while she is in your domain. Or is it just a 1 time thing when it comes back to your turn after she is played?

Each turn. She she will take some upkeep! However if already at no loyalty you have nothing to lose!

He gets discarded. It’s just that he can defeat any hero no matter the strength

He feels incomplete when our group has tested him. It really hurts to lose vanquish and having to fish for his removal feels bad and really awkward. I still like him sort of tho lol

[@LordoftheBoard]

Oh interesting? Yeah we haven’t felt that way. I play tested all the villains and throughout all my games I always thought Modok was a good balance.

He is designed so that he doesn’t have to vanquish. He can win with a board full of hero’s

@@LordoftheBoard played a few more games not as big of a deal as I thought but it stills hurts to lose value from less actions. As of the moment modok (when I play him) is the strongest of the 3 in the set according to wr. While most people I know would agree that Loki is the strongest. I think this set is good but there is a few things that feel incomplete for mask and modok, causing there gameplay to feel half baked, I still enjoy them tho I just wish sometimes they fixed one or two cards to help smooth a deck out.

@@LordoftheBoard thanks!!

[@bethblack6799]

I love the new characters! However, when playing M.O.D.O.K., he is easily lockout of the game! I have played him against several different combinations of players, and while I understand he doesn't need (or shouldn't spend Loyalty to vanquish), once the Vanquish and Relocate are forbidden or blocked, he can't continue play. I always get the Event card locking Loyalty at 1, and with vanquish covered, there are several heroes that can block relocation even if they aren't covering the relocate space. Then heroes with a protector shield have to be removed before you can take out relocation blocking heroes! M.O.D.O.K. is dead in the water. I try to move quickly, but opponents know to cover Vanquish and stop Relocate. Are we playing incorrectly? Are we missing something? We have read card carefully. Ideas? Thanks.

[@LordoftheBoard]

You can play cards that allow you to lose a loyalty even if you are at 1. Idk if that helps but you can clear out heroes with certain removals!

[@bethblack6799]

@@LordoftheBoard We are definitely trying replays with M.O.D.O.K.!, but it seems to be the covering of Relocate that is really hurting this character. That and A.I.M Event Card? Any suggestions how to get around that Event? We are still experimenting with this character, definitely more game nights coming up. It does seem if you get your cards early, you can win quickly.

Top tip: if Kate Bishop (Madame Masque) is played on the laboratory, beg them not to

[@schmuckmcgee7294]

Neat thing you can do if M.O.D.O.K and Madame Masque are in play: Put Kate Bishop at the A.I.M Laboratory. Her ability shuts down all of M.O.D.O.K’s Effects, essentially forcing him to activate Creating the Cube to hike up his Loyalty. Her covering his only vanquish action means he can’t get rid of her either. It doesn’t make it impossible for him to win, but it does have a knock-on effect of making the floating head unable to get rid of other heroes as well (short of drawing Found By the Avengers).

[@LordoftheBoard]

Awesome :) Thanks for watching!

[@diogocampos3290]

If MODOK will always have at least one loyalty, then he only needs to get and keep 4 points during the game.Also, he can use abilities like MODOK superior and capture when he has only one loyalty without fear of losing it. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Yup!

[@sebastianfinn3028]

One of the fundamental rules of the game is you can only play cards if you can follow their directions. So if you can’t drop to 0 loyalty, how would you use those cards while at 1 loyalty?

[@LordoftheBoard]

@@sebastianfinn3028 it’s a penalty not a payment. So it operates differently. If A.I.M. Already distrusts you - no harm in abusing that while you don’t have loyalty.
