Valkyrie cards for Marvelscape figures
 
Inspired by the Unofficial Marvel Valkyrie Draft, and by my foolish desire to integrate Marvelscape characters into the Heroscape mythos (or even -- gasp! -- play them together!) I've created cards for the official Marvelscape cards by Valkyrie general. I have made a few alterations General-wise. Feel free to kibitz.

Abomination :utgar:

Yup. Evil. Moving on...


Captain America :jandar:

No argument here for Cap being in Jandar. Two versions of the card, depending on how much you like Chris Evans.


Dr. Doom :utgar:

So I made a different decision here than the original draft. I can see Vydar (all that tech!) but to me Doom is just Too Darn Evil not to be summoned by Utgar. Can you see Agent Carr working along with Dr. Doom?


Incredible Hulk :ullar:

The Big Green guy gets with the Big Green Valkyrie. Sounds good to me. A comic and movie version, again. I think the comic version came out better.


Iron Man :einar:

A case could certainly be made for Iron Man in Vydar (technology, etc.) but I'm cool with Einar.


Red Skull :utgar:

No argument here. You know, he's Red! And Evil! Two versions, depending on how much you like Hugo Weaving. I couldn't resist using the Hydra symbol.


Silver Surfer :vydar:

Again, I think a case could be made for Einar here alignment-wise, but Vydar is a fine choice as well.


Spider-Man :aquilla:

The original draft came out before Aquilla, and she needed a superhero. I gave her Spider-Man, because Arachnids, that's why!


Thanos :valkrill:

Valkrill wasn't around when the original Draft was done, and I think he and Thanos would find each other simpatico.


Venom :vydar:

I didn't agree with the Ullar here, and was going to put him in Utgar. But I decided to put him in Vydar instead, based on his "Vigilante" class and some reading up on Eddie Brock. I could be convinced otherwise by those who know the character better.


So, there you go! Let me know if I've made any mistakes on the card text, or have other suggestions.

The cards look awesome, but are they compatible with regular scape really? I do like how you presented them though. Thanks for sharing.

These are awesome!!

Excellent job on the card-art (and Hydra symbol)!


They are sort of balanced with Classic 'Scape. We allowed Venom and Spiderman in one mini-tourney and their Spider-Sense was pretty broken if you consistently hit the d20 roll (even against special attacks).


Thanks for sharing.

That is a question that has banged around here for a while, There are some "interesting" discussions on the topic.

Now I'm going to back away slowly hoping this question dies here.

Thanks guys! Glad you like the cards! (Any thoughts on the Generals?)

And yeah, this thread sort of assumes you've landed on the "OK to mix Classic & Marvel" end of the debate.

@IshMEL , I like your general choices. They look pretty good. I don't know if there are any synergy fo-paws though. For instance, Red flag of fury from ornak -doctor doom, and red skull both take a turn, on the same turn. Stuff like that.

Hmmm, good point on Ornak.... Master Manipulator requires an OM, but Mind Exchange doesn't. I suppose Ornak could activate Doom, who could then take a turn with another Hero via Mind Exchange, and then Ornak's second activation could be with that same Hero. So you'd possibly get two activations of the same Hero in the same turn, and 3 overall. Which isn't infinite-loop broken, but could be a problem.

I suppose I could alter Mind Exchange to require an OM?

If you really want these to feel "official" then mini pictures are the way to go. Having General card aesthetics to feel more official, but then going less official by swapping out mini pics for comic or movie images seems like one step forward, two steps back.

Fox paws. English for the feet of a fox. :-D

The fox had faux fox paws

English and French combined, means false feet of a fox.

:p
