Since the checklist was first released, the following
cards from The Marvels received either some kind of minor change to the
game text, a clarification to how it is to be played, or was changed due
to player response. The point of this page is to finalize any changes
before the Marvels "playtest" event to be held at OP CUP 3.
FV - Mr. Fantastic
- Elasticity - In order to make this card slightly more playable,
I suggest that this card be allowed to defend an attack made against a
Teammate and not just Mr. Fantastic.
IA - Dazzler
- Rebel Defense - This card may only be played defensively under
strange circumstances. For more info, please follow the link to the
detailed page on this card.
OP - Spider-Man
- With Great Power... - The wording was not correct for this card.
Please see the detail on this code for more info.
FW - Spider-Woman
- Coordinated Effort - This card was obviously meant to only affect
attacks that are successful.
MH - Wasp - Shrink From Harm and Sabra - Loyal Leader - This code has not been changed at all, but I want to detail it here to eliminate any confusion about how this card is played. While I did not want to involve Meta Rules in hopes of keeping this guide simpler, Meta Rule #84 was written to fix the related mistakes that were in the original Specials Guide. The bottom line is that a Special card is always considered a Special card, regardless of the wording of the game text. The Reserves would have liked to introduce more defensive options for JW attacks, but it would be inconsistant to allow this one Special to avoid such an attack or to now change the other cards that have similar wording, when they have been played this way for almost 2 years.
Meta Rule #84
Specials which indicate that they act as Power cards
only act as Power cards in that they can sometimes be used to attack or
defend (as specified on the Special). They do NOT take on any other properties
of Power cards i.e., they count towards X-Babies KO, they do NOT fuse with
other MultiPower Power cards, they cannot be removed with an EE Special.
