This was an Interesting list, I didn't know there were 25 different expansions after the core set. I have the Core set and a few expansions, but I'm more of the unusual person as I also have the Alien and Predator Encounter Expansions and I like the idea of interchanging the set around to create new scenarios like the X-men fighting against the Xenomorphs or the Predators hunting Heroes from the Villains core set but that's just me.

I actually started with the MCU set. I do admit I wish they didn't add the movie titles to the cards, but it was a nice gateway for me, who has never played a Legendary game before and loves the movies. It's also great for playing with my friends who may only like the movies. The stills worked very well for the Buffy version though. Overall now that I own most of the expansions my next item is the original core set. I want some of the cards i've missed out on. Lol

Good video - I agree with most of your rankings up to #18, though I would rate Villains higher and WW Hulk much lower. I think there are four classes of expansions (I have about half of these). I'm ranking them more on whether they're thematically essential in the Marvel universe than on mechanics: 1. Essentials: Dark City (big), Fantastic Four (small), X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy. 2. Mixed Bag, But Fun: Inhumans, Ant-Man, maybe Secret Wars II. These have more than one interesting hero. Paint the Town Red almost makes it. Villains for those with darkness in their souls. 3. Fringe (either chock full of filler heroes, or too obscure): Revelations, Noir, Deadpool, Cosmos, Shield, Secret Wars I (maybe), Civil War, World War Hulk. Most of the expansions after the first dozen fit in here or in the last category. 4. Shameless Cash Grabs: All the movie tie-ins, Captain America. With apologies to members of the Squirrel Girl Fan Club.

Holy Shit dude! Thank you so much! Following your advice and ranking loosely based on my own thoughts and feelings of the base game box, I ended up getting the shield expansion, but more importantly the DARK CITY one. Let me tell you, I am NOT disappointed, Shield is fine and the Hail hydra plot and undercover mechanics were great, on top of making those base grey cards feel more important and interesting for sure. However, just reading the cards from dark city has me in almost a tantrum or a hype meltdown of sort, words fail me. I am SO excited to try them out with my friends, I see 1-2 cost cards that are still significant, keywords that are shaking up the somewhat less stimulating base box Heroes that had me worried about the game becoming boring after some time... Different art for every card which really only does the base box a disservice, I am glad this game seems absolutely capable of taking it's concepts and game-play mechanics in a really good directions. While seemingly getting involved with the big Dis & Ney seems to produce some of the lowest point the game has to offer I can somewhat steer clear of it has my first thought before getting the base game was to order the phase 1, being a huge fan of the early movies that made me love Marvel so much. I am so glad I got dodged that bullet, plus the 70's OG comic looks are absolutely rad, I love how everyone is just spending 110% of their free time lifting weights in gyms man & women alike. Anyway, just a giant wall of text no one might read to tell you, thank you for making this video, I am glad I watched it in my hesitations before seeing if this was a dive worth taking, since base box was a little bit on the vanilla side for me who's in my comfort zone playing deeper games like MTG or closer to this style hero realms star realms, which theses higher ranked expansion really seem to be exploring as much depth and fun gameplay to me... Phew, thank you for your video, can't wait for another update if you ever take the time, seems like they release WAY too much content for my wallet, so I'll keep consulting your list to see what I'd like to see come into my own game night box that's gonna keep growing for sure! peace.

I don't have all the expansions, but with what I've got, I'd rank them like this: Dark City World War Hulk Civil War Ant-Man Revelations GoTG Champions Even with just those, storage is an issue. I got a wooden box insert for the game from Broken Token, and that's where I keep all the Heroes, in alphabetical order. I use one of the large set expansion boxes for the rest of them, organized of course. There are some really nice card dividers posted on the bgg forums that people have made. Makes keeping them sorted much easier.

I own Base, X-Men, Revelations, Dark City and my neighbor has Villains and honest to god after playing Villains its easily the best value for the money. If it was in print I would buy it. However people don't give it enough credit because the "villain" heroes can be a little weak. But between the fabric mat which is easily worth 20 in itself, the Madam Hydra and new recruits its everything the base set should have been. Hard to play with the Shield Officers after playing Villains.

I own all up until xmen or spiderman homecoming? trying to figure out exactly how many I am missing, and this serves a double purpose of letting me know, and ranking. Could not figure out how to load more posts on the site (also Kingpin is strongest, every time I use him I have gotten infinite attack). I had counted 11 I am missing before watching, so this served the dual purpose of telling me what I am missing, and also a fun ranking. I want all of them, except Phase 1. I also got Guardians twice because I kinda lost the shards. I look forward to having all of them and needing 4 or 5 boxes, rn I use base game box, villains box, and xmen box, it was civil war, but then I realized it contained mostly xmen so I swapped. I also have that custom playmat that has spaces for all cards both villains and normal and also sidekicks . For one vs all, I have tried it once or twice with the one getting their own deck, dont do that, it sucks imho

@@baronleonard571 Upper Deck announced Doctor Strange set on their website and they said Nightmare is going to be a central part of it... hinting he could be the 'main' big bad. We don't know who the other Mastermind is. Could be Mordo, could be anybody. But it sort of makes sense for Dormammu to be the Mastermind and a group of general magic practitioners under his influence to be the Villain group. Mordo would certainly fit quite nicely there. But truth is we don't know for sure if Dormammu is or isn't going to be there at all... guessing by probabilities only at this stage, and only Nightmare is a dead cert. To be honest we don't know when it's coming out because their blog said they've had to move it back, possibly to 2022. Judging by their delays during Covid, I would say 2022 is most likely for a Dr. Strange set. Also they have two other sets to pump out this year and we're in the last half so... 🤷‍♂️ I'm Team Cable. 😇

Who doesn't want to be Magneto helping the X men getting rid of Sebastian Shaw or Apocalypse? It's so fun. And of course Dark City, for all these heroes and villains and new cool mechanics. And I have to mention too: the Fantastic Four, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Paint the town red. With only these few expansions, you got hours of very fun playtimes. Problem: they are all ancients expansions and some are out of print. What a shame.

I'd nominally agree except future 'hero' sets (World War Hulk and Deadpool to name but two) re-use team names introduced in Villains, as if you're already mixing the two together. And without Villains mixing with the hero sets, you just can't include Magneto, Mystique or Sabretooth as X-Men, which they all have been at various times.

While Dark City is an excellent box for iconic characters and tough fights (including what _still_ has to rank as one of the toughest Masterminds in the game in Apocalypse), Secret Wars 1 edges out Secret Wars 2 in terms of just having GOOD, powerful heroes. Not that Secret Wars 2 doesn't have good heroes of its own (Illuminati Beast and Agent Venom are both worth having), but Secret Wars 2 indulges in a lot of box-filling chaff like Captain Britain, Dr. Punisher, Elsa Bloodstone (who is _not_ SHIELD-affiliated, by the way...), and the exceptional waste of cardboard that is Time Travelling Jean Grey, who is to dud heroes what Dark Phoenix is to tough Masterminds. (Ironically, both are literally Jean Grey. Huh.) Secret Wars 2 has a big problem of heroes lacking definition. Take Arkon, if you can even remember who that is. While Arkon's commons are decent and splashable, he doesn't really have much in the way of a win condition. Theoretically he can make Spectrums, but Arkon's unlockable abilities aren't really worth the trouble to activate. Maybe an extra point of recruit or combat here or there is nothing compared to drawing a card or KOing a hero. And so a hero whose cards are all decent in a vacuum (or, more to the point, a deck full of basic SHIELDs) loses out because nothing comes together right, and Secret Wars 2 does this a lot. By contrast, Secret Wars 1 is a who's who of Legendary's best powerhouses who all do what they do very well, where a favorite hero is less a matter of who sucks the least and more what playstyles you like best. Apoc Kitty Pride and Dr. Strange are both highly robust KO engines for being able to KO cards (not just heroes) from the discard pile. Jane Fosthor (Lady Thor) is arguably _the_ recruit hero of the set. Black Panther and Captain Marvel both draw a lot and hit _very_ hard. Magik and Miles Morales (Ultimate Spider-Man) are _phenomenal_ low-cost accelerants. Black Bolt and Proxima Midnight gave Dark City's Domino some of her very first double-symbol peers. And Maximus is _criminally_ underrated for being able to get your deck going very quickly in the early game by spamming the often very useful (and often KO-related) Henchmen effects. Seriously, try Maximus out against Mandarin's Ten Rings. It's hilarious. Admittedly Namor is a little lame. (As are all heroes who care about villains in specific city spaces... Blade... TTJG...) And Old Man Logan has no cohesion whatsoever. (He likes KOing his own wounds, but he has no way to wound himself, meaning the hero designed to be a loner literally cannot function in isolation; I have _no idea_ why OML made your hero of the set...). But that's two duds out of _fourteen_ heroes, which is an exceptional ratio beaten only by the Fantastic Four (where literally _all the heroes_ are good).

Haven't heard anything about it for anytime soon, but I would bet it'll come back eventually if you're patient.

I got paint the town red. My first expansion was shield and I loved that, but I dislike the paint the town red expansion. Maybe if I owned more Spiderman, but I dislike them since they can only be useful with themselves. It's too bad X-Men expansion is impossible to get atm

Question to anyone: if you don't own the game yet, is the marvel studios phase one box worth it over the base game or is it still worse?

Functionally, they're nearly identical! The biggest issue is that the art doesn't look great and it doesn't blend with the other expansions. There's no reason to own it if you already have the original. But if you don't, and you're a fan of the movies or you just don't mind the look of it, there's nothing really wrong with it.

So if i buy multiple expansions can i just throw them into the main deck? Or do i have to swap em out depending on what expansion i wanna play?

When playing the game, you use a specific number of heroes, henchmen, villains, and twists based on player count, mastermind, and the scheme you are playing with. They may ask for a specific group to be included, but after that, you can usually use whichever groups you think would be fun, regardless of expansion. Obviously, some groups will have better synergies, so some of the fun is creating a group of heroes that work very well or villains that combo together to give you a challenge!

you're wrong aout ant-man: microscopic size changing is WAY different from size changing: the idea is that when it goes into the negative, it turns into a positive, and that stacks up.

I dont have the game but I would like to buy it, Do you recommend buying the main game or can I start with one ofe the expansions? Thanks

Other than Villains (which is hard to find right now) and the MCU set, all the expansions require the base set to be playable. So the original game is definitely where you want to start. Hope you have fun with it!

Get the base set. See if you can find it used but new its around 50-60. Base set still comes with at least 20-50 play throughs as you get around 14 heroes and like 8 schemes.

Dont really understand how CMON games is publishing an almost identical game to Upper Decks Legendary. This really sucks to have to choose between Marvel United and Marvel Legendary.

Noir should have been at least top ten, because it's the only set where all the schemes are fun to play

Really hated Revelations, surprised it ranked so high, Mandarin is way too hard and the artwork and keywords are sub par. Secret Wars and Dark City are essential, I enjoy PTTR and FF too.

Art should match the primary source material. Marvel is better with comic art, Buffy was great with stills, Alien and Predator failed on this (still great games, though).

I gotta come back to this and make another comment. But FF small box is so overrated. People are listing this as the best small box set and unless you have a love obsession with Fantastic Four its really underwhelming. For the most part the heroes really aren't that great. I get they are the Fantastic Four but the art work on all of them aside from a couple Human Torch cards are bad. Also although the Master Minds are great in this set they are overly difficult and not very fun to play against even with the Focus of the base FF heroes. Schemes are copied as well. I think the Venom set is better or Paint the Town Red. In fact I think GoTG set blows it away. Also Revelations while for the money its the best set to own the mechanics are a mess. Locations muck up easily and hyperspeed is basically the berserk mechanic messed up.

Most schemes use the same art. If I recall correctly schemes that fall under the Marvel Cinematic Universe have unique art, but overall its more of a rarity.

Squirrel Girl is really good. He made a big mistake on Squirrel Girl's description. Her big card gives OTHER cards you own switcheroo.
