I have the same issue with trying to get my deck size down. I'll choose my cards then count them and I am at 54 or 56 cards! Then have to cut them down from there. Only used Asses the Situation with Iron Man.

[@professorkid5129]

The problem with "Assess the Situation" is you're basically trading a card this turn for an extra card next turn. I've tried it in Hulk decks in an attempt to make up for his small hand size, but it rarely helped very much. Then there's the problem that if you draw multiple copies of it in one turn you basically have a "dead" turn, and while you may have a "monster" next turn, being able to survive until that turn becomes problematic. Most of the newer Villains have such a quick tempo you can't afford a "slow" turn just to have a slightly better next turn and I assume this is especially true in Solo play. To really be effective and playable, the card should give you a "+2 Hand Size", but this still wouldn't avoid the drawing multiple copies issue. So no, I haven't found much use for it in my decks. Glad to see the 2-card reviews are back!

Damn, I had the opposite experience.. I use it in my Hulk justice deck against The Rise of the Red Skull campaign and it has been a lifesaver! I do agree that if you draw multiple of them you get a dead turn.. I went undefeated until I got to Zola and his horde of minions. After that campaign I always put Assess the situation in my justice Hulk deck. Other than Hulk, I dont think I ever need it in other small hand size heroes.. Ps. I dont have any X-Men boxes yet, only up until Sinister Motives, so maybe its because the villains I fight with Hulk are relatively easier compared to the newer, X-men villains..

I really enjoy these bite-sized vids, do you have a playlist with all these two card reviews? I've caught a bunch here and there but it would be cool to have these listed out in order so I can find what I missed!

[@D20Woodworking]

I don’t. But if you give me till tomorrow morning I can make a playlist

[@Adornoda]

Assess the Situation is a great card to use with Iron Man, especially when you're not fully built out yet and you only have a 3-4 card hand on hero side. Otherwise I haven't found a need for it outside of that.

[@tromdial7719]

Happy to see the two-card review content has returned. Assess the Situation when it first came out and for like a year or two, my buddies constantly used it and wished there was another set to share with, but now the card variety is so great it's hard to squeeze this card in anymore except maybe when the resource icon too is justified or I have a legitimate reason to bank cards into the next hand to up my chances at getting a two-card combo I want, such as an X-Men ally with Mutant Protectors, for instance.

[@caseydeere1525]

Haven't watched the full video yet but Assess the Situation is REALLY good with SP//DR, the hero who has the most botched hand size but for good reason, gives her more to her hand size and more to work with as a result

[@caseydeere1525]

Ironheart is also really good with it as well since it helps you get built out and it's a printed mental so you can easily toss it to generate a progress counter. In my experience, I've never just thrown this card in a deck unless it has a good reason to be there

[@TheVlad1616]

Used it with Hulk and She Hulk too. Gives them use for an extra card Next round.

[@EvanSnowWolf]

I love Jane. I think she is great, especially if you are running the Power of Aggression to help get her out. Assess the Situation, however, is trash. If I have a deck with lots of one card hands left over, that is what Plan B is for.

[@danielcraig6615]

I made a Storm aggression and a then a ‘pool deck with a rush focus. With a Thunderstorm able to deal effectively 10 damage Assess the Situation can speed up finding those cards.

[@mattvoegtli9928]

I actually do run asses the situation, but more often than not I'm with you and trying to cut cards. I never run Thor Jane Foster. She's like fine efficiency wise, but always find better options.
