Marvel Crisis Protocol Battle Report - Episode 53 - Cabal vs. Shield

[@BobWilson-fz8rj]

you guys have no idea how much I look forward to your battle reports every week. You do a great job of showing just enough of the action to allow me to follow along balanced with making the video watchable in a finite amount of time. I am also enjoying the improvements in production value and the After Action Report. Don’t worry about the people who love to point out mistakes. I make mistakes all the time playing games, missing triggers, opportunities, or simply getting the rules wrong. if you guys are coming down to Chicago for Adepticon next year let me know. I’d love to meet you and say Hi

[@AegisbrandStudios]

First off, thank you so much! Going to put this generous tip towards dinner for Troope and I next week (As we play at night, and have a fun social night of it all). Glad you are enjoying the videos, and it warms my heart to hear you look forward to them, and I am glad that the improvements to production value are making a difference (I do all this in spare time, so it is hard to know what to work on sometimes). As for the comments pointing out mistakes, we actually appreciate them quite a bit, as it helps us improve and get better. Lastly, as for Adepticon, sadly it is not happening this year (Too much work travel around the same time), but I am blocking it off for 2024, as it is an event I want to go to, quite a bit.

Wanted to concur with others here and say how much I love these videos. I love how you guys can keep a competitive game fun and friendly - watching you guys made me realize that I can play this with my kids (two 7yr old boys) and not have to only play the Ultron UE. Appreciate you guys!!

[@AegisbrandStudios]

Thanks man! And way to pass on the hobby to the younger generation!

unless im mistaken eye in the sky doesn't cost them to loose power they spend on attacks. targeting is in step 2 of attacks and spending power is in step 3 and eye triggers when they are targeted

[@AegisbrandStudios]

You would be correct. We got that point incorrect, and have since been playing it correctly. We had a misunderstanding of the sequence on the timing chart

Great video! -Nathan B

[@LordOfMostGames]

Where did you get that Recalibration Matrix variant?

[@AegisbrandStudios]

Honestly, I am not 100% sure. I cannot recall if it was the card pack, or one of the OP kit bonuses. Sorry, I wish I could say for sure

[@nickwalker1111]

Great report! Unfortunately Recalibration Matrix doesn't work that way against Malekith, his Conqueror of the Ten Realms power prevents characters attacking him from rerolling their dice. You can still use it to force him to reroll his own defence dice if he does super well.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

My understanding was that he stops people from modifying their dice during the modify dice step. Recall happens before the final step, not during the modify step. I will need to double check now (these odd.precisions aspects can sometimes be annoying to deal with in this game)

[@AegisbrandStudios]

So, just checked out the forums. I would not be allowed to reroll mine, but would still force Malekith to reroll his.

[@madmulligan2892]

Two wins in a row for Troop, congratulations.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

He can certainly keep me on my toes, when we play! If made more tubed lists, I suspect the W/L ratio might tip in his favour

[@jameswoodward7545]

Could you make that first Pass in R1? Enjoy your vids team

[@AegisbrandStudios]

Yup. Shield only had 3 activations to Cabal's 4. The Grunts activate with the parent model, so Fury Jr.

[@luquitasong]

Hey, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've started playing SHIELD myself. But in round 3 when Nick uses Eye in the Sky against Rocket, I don't think that's how Eye in the Sky works, it activates in step 2 of the attack (Starting with the attacker, both players resolve any superpowers or effects that trigger when a character has been targeted by an attack) so Nick moves out of range and the attack then ends. It does not reach step 3 which is pay power. I am wrong on this one?

[@AegisbrandStudios]

It was definitely misplayed in this instance. It was a misunderstanding of the timing on the charts. It goes target, respond, then spend power. So yeah, we messed up on that one

[@luquitasong]

@@AegisbrandStudios Thanks sir! Love the content tho :)

[@Chewie89]

turn 2 you could've used aggressive and move towards bullseye. Got you closer and punched him and taken the point

[@andrewbrown8052]

I think Malekith’s leadership works on “another allied character” so if he dazed somebody he can’t be the one to benefit from it.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

I would need to review, but I do not recall Malekith targeting himself with the leadership after he dazed someone. But this was filmed a few weeks back, so it is possible

[@Chewie89]

Also you moved and attacked with she hulk, you couldn't have shaken the bleed

[@HaloBrutus]

He threw a truck at Zemo, so he was right on that. You right on the other 2 tho fam

[@Chewie89]

also butch of thors malekith place is a have to
