New Heroes
As Canada's premier super team, Alpha Flight has a long history of helping the downtrodden and protecting Canada.
Actually, Legendary sets need to have several Heroes to play well.
Really? OK fine. I'll bring my very own super team: The Mercs for Money! These psychos follow me, doing my dirty work for a very noble cause – getting paid!
Don't try to spend any stray 1/2 points you have left over. It won't get you anywhere, just like asking out Psylocke.
Some say I'm half-good and half-bad. Some say I'm half-NUTS. Either way, me and my friends brought some half-crazy cards that give "3 1/2 Attack" and "2 1/2 Recruit".
When you play these, just add 'em up as normal. Play a 2 1/2 Attack and a 3 1/2 Attack Hero, and you're ready to cuddle up to some Villain with 6 Attack.
Excessive Violence
You know, when someone's really annoying, sometimes you really gotta make your point. With a sword. In the spleen. And then wiggle it around.
That's when it's time to use what the censors tactfully call "Excessive Violence".
Some Heroes say things like "Excessive Violence: Draw a card."
Once per turn, you can spend one Attack more than you need to fight a bad guy "using Excessive Violence." If you do, you get to use all the "Excessive Violence" abilities on cards you've played this turn.
- Say you've played three Heroes with Excessive Violence abilities this turn. If you spend 8 Attack points to fight a Villain or Mastermind that has 7 Attack, then you'll get to use all three Excessive Violence abilities!
- If you don't fight anything this turn, or if you don't spend an extra Attack point on someone, then you won't be able to use Excessive Violence.
- Since you can only fight "with Excessive Violence" once per turn, you can only use a card's Excessive Violence ability once in a turn.
- (It's ok to play two cards with the same name and use both of their Excessive Violence abilities.)
- If you fight with Excessive Violence, then draw or play more cards with Excessive Violence abilities later in the turn, it will be too late to use those abilities.
Some bad guys also have abilities like "Fight: Excessive Violence: Do something awesome." If you spend one more Attack point than you need to fight them, you can do that awesome thing! Plus you can use all the Excessive Violence abilities on the Heroes you played this turn.
Revenge
For some reason, some jerks tend to get irritated with me. Pretty sure they're jealous. Or maybe it's all their friends that I killed. They call it "Revenge." The more of them I kill, the madder the rest of them get. For example, some of the dudes in the "Deadpool's Friends" Villain group have the ability "Revenge for Deadpool's Friends."
This means: "This Villain gets +1 Attack for each 'Deadpool's Friends' Villain in your Victory Pile."
So if I've killed two of them this game, the rest of them will have +2 Attack during my turns. If my ladyfriend across the table hasn't killed any yet, they won't have any extra Attack during her turns.
That bounty hunter Macho Gomez has "Revenge for Deadpool's Friends," but he's not a "Deadpool's Friend" himself.
Watch for other kinds of Revenge too!
Masterminds don't count as Villains, though, so they won't get Revenge here, at least not literally.
Breaking the Fourth Wall
Unlike most comic book stooges, I actually know I'm in a comic book and this game. So sometimes I'll talk to you directly. Like you, for example – I can already tell that I'm way better-looking than you. Yup, even with my scars. Sometimes I'll even make cards do stuff based on what's happening in the real world!
Card Clarifications
Everybody Hates Deadpool – Besides just being true, this is the name of a scheme. Henchmen are a kind of Villain, so if you are using the Henchmen Groups Hand Ninjas and Half-Eaten Burrito Warriors, then the Hand Ninjas will have "Revenge for Hand Ninjas", and the Half-Eaten Burrito Warriors will have "Revenge for Half-Eaten Burrito Warriors."
