Marvel: Crisis Protocol is a tabletop hobby miniatures game set in the Marvel Universe. Players assemble, paint, and collect an ever expanding line of highly detailed plastic miniatures representing iconic Marvel characters. Players choose characters from their collections to form their own Marvel inspired dream team and then pit their chosen forces against each other on an interactive tabletop where the very terrain itself can be thrown, crashed into, and destroyed during the super powered showdown!

New Thor seems incredible with Cap1, knocking all those supers down to 2 costs seems very strong

[@RichMidGaming]

Are you ever taking him over Hulk though?

@@innerdarksidegaming7415 sounds like the new Avengers base 16 list xD

​@RichMidGaming To even have to ask is enough to understand that this was a miss for a new Thor. It should be a closer answer than what it is between these two models.

[@RichMidGaming]

@@mitchcowan1446 exactly. People calling me out saying I’m crazy for not liking this new Thor….

[@michaelmendeshorne6821]

Completely agree with everything you said, I think the new Loki looks so much fun and Jane I'm excited to run too!

[@justinmcclure6767]

My favorite thing about lokis new leadership is you "may spend 1 power" and if you do, you "may reroll," which insinuates you can just spend a power and not do anything if you feel like it

[@RichMidGaming]

You can, but it does require them to be attacking, defending or dodging

[@GooeyChewie]

You might want to do that, if you’d rather the power be on Loki.

[@loselot6044]

​@GooeyChewie But since the trigger for the leadership is rolling dice you might as well take the rerolls at that point

[@RichMidGaming]

@@loselot6044 there are some niche scenarios where you wouldn’t want to - maybe you’ve already blocked all the damage, or maybe you want to take some damage for power. But yeah, you’ll mostly want to use it.

have u done a breakdown of shang chi and namor? so excited to play them!

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

I like the new characters l, my favorite is definitely Loki. I am going to put him in my trap house list. Mysterio and him will be BFF's 😁

[@adamredmond3136]

Really looking foward to this box! Not too bothered that Thor is the weakest link in it as i dont like the new model anyway lol, so will continue to use the old 😉

[@acejustice1]

I agree with you about the new Thor, although shouting those superpower names in a theatrical voice as you use them might be worth it. 😂

[@RichMidGaming]

This could be his redeeming feature!

[@acejustice1]

@@RichMidGaming I SAY NAY, VILLAIN! *rolls 7 dice

[@jessmontgomery3454]

Alot of good stuff in this box. Cannot wait! Loki and Sif are my favourites, Jame should be fun, but poor old Thor is a bit average.

[@goldmansachs2518]

So now if I put Loki, Bob, Electro, Doc Ock and Hydra grunts then 5/6 minis on the table will be Green with Yellow stripes :D

[@mitchcowan1446]

While I'm happy for a new Thor, I sadly have to agree he may not be worth the extra threat for competitive games. I will still play him in casual games, but it does hurt. I feel they just don't get Thor. They were timid with his T5, and thankfully bumped him up a but, hut he should be a bruiser at T6 on par with Hulk from the getgo. The rules peeps also missed a fine opportunity to add in an Odison specific G-d Blast for a ttc, or a Power Cosmic boost from the recent Cates run. Even something from G-d-Butcher where he gains the power of the NecroSword or a Warriors Madness berzerk rage, so much more thematic and lore driven. No, instead we got a power calling back one of the most embarrassing moments from arguably the worst MCU movie to date. I will choose to look upon it as a Thor-Corp thing from secret wars instead, as in the end, that should have been the card. Something that boosts either version of him, Beta Ray Bill, Jane Foster Thor, and anyone in the future deemed worthy, for more future releases, like Worthy Storm, etc. A bonus dice and shock for all is cool. No, we got whst we got. Loki is the clear winner here, with a good Jane F and a solid Sif at T4, leaves the new Thor is a fair disappointment. He should have had some combo (not all) of an unlimited size on that throw, the other throw be characters too (the organized circuit uses way too few pieces of terrain as it is), have some defensive tech like Damage Reduction, even a weaker one where he pays a power. Thor has drawn from ridiculous levels of endurance with crazy feats of what he can take. Unworthy Thor and the overall diminished power in general in the Ultimate universe is what seriously gives a very incorrect pov on Thor and his legacy capabilities since the very start of Marvel.

[@glynnseymour7587]

23:48 and 51:58 🧂 😂... You're just like the rest of us normies in AMG's eyes. Think this new thor is gonna take a lot of testing to find his home, Think Jane is actually my favorite out of the box because of damage output. Sif is a very dependable 4 threat with damage reduction and a full reroll on her spender for 5 power is pretty tasty. Loki I'm torn on, definitely the better tactics cards and great ld but naf spender.

[@CosmicGladiator]

As a Thor fan I've been looking forward to getting a new Thor and now that it's here I can't help but feel disappointed. No Mjolnir throw or use at all, no easy way to add stasis effects, no throw character, for Asgard feels better than the new version, no pay 1 power to reduce damage like Bill or just straight -1 to damage like Sif, no immune to stun and not even better defence. Lets just hope he gets changed quickly and made into a real 6 threat

[@michaelplant3036]

I have a rules question I'm hoping someone can answer, can sacrifice or bodyguard be used on an area attack that does not target a specific character? scenario is daredevil using area of effect and thanos wanting to use sacrifice card to absorb area attack to protect corvis glave? any insight would be appreciated!

[@Coby2022]

Yes, basically what happens is the character you're making take the attack will get hit twice by the area attack. Once when they take it for the original target, again when they themselves are targeted

[@michaelbywood]

I feel the main issue that doomed prophecy is the start of activation phase and heart of the worthy is at the end, which means she has to survive with no physical defence. But four 10 dice hammer strikes? Probably worth it.

[@ianvondoom]

The fun part for Loki's leadership and 'Oh My, what a pity' is if another character pays for a defense roll, they can pay off Loki's use of Oh my, basically buying a reroll and a potential damage which is very fun.

[@PureBrawler]

Note on Heart of the Worthy, it doesn't grant you another turn, just an activation. So you wouldn't be giving away priority, but also under the current rules, you would also not be able to use any of her "Once per turn" abilities since you are not in a turn. Advance and attack only. Note a great card. Currently waiting in the rules forums for clarification on those limitations. Sif just seems like a less valuable Valkyrie. 1 more threat for 1 more health, 1 more physical defense and damage reduction, and worse dice triggers, manipulation, and damage. She's easily worst in the box.

[@RichMidGaming]

You would 100% be giving away priority. As you would be activating the last character. The once per turn abilities is definitely a grey area. Disagree completely on Sif, she is a solid 4 threat. Thor is by far the worst (in my opinion of course)

[@lukebaron3416]

you're mental if you think this thor is worse.

[@RichMidGaming]

The worst in the box, or not as good as the 5 cost version? Take a look at other 6 threats in the game, yes he can do a lot, but I honestly think (for the threat level) he is nowhere near as good as the OG Thor. Like I said. I haven’t had table time yet, but a lack of charge and a lack of a character throw via a super power pins him back for me.

[@GooeyChewie]

@@lukebaron3416 It’s not so much that this Thor is worse than the original Thor; it’s that this Thor is less than 1 threat better than the original Thor but costs the whole extra threat. I would rather have original Thor and Bill than this Thor and Scourge or Heimdall (or whatever other 3 threat).

[@kimitowynn5189]

Original Thor is never going to see the table again, there is no reason to take him over The Mighty Thor (Jane Foster) the only think he does that she doesn't is his AOE attack and resist Stun.

[@RichMidGaming]

I don’t agree. He has quite a bit more: - 1 more stamina overall - access to a character throw from a superpower - Dish out stagger and immunity to stun And the most important, a very, very good leadership.
