Re: The Book of Baron Mordo - Vote for Initial (Baron Mordo)
I have a bad habit of trying to design all 3 armies all at once on initials as well but I've been trying to break myself of that habit. You should really just run the first test at a point level you feel might be where he fits and see how that goes. After that first game you may decide to raise or lower his points for the next test. At the start of an initial we usually have a point range (say 245-285 here, *totally made up numbers just to illustrate a point) we feel the card will come in at based on similar cards, the initial is then used to narrow down the range to a more precise number (perhaps 265 after testing him at 245, 265, & 285). Then it gets sent to public play testing to confirm the cost or see if it needs to be adjusted up or down 5-15 points. So run that first test you have set out at 265 and see how that goes before deciding where to run the next test.

Yea - Thought I had already voted, missed the whole intricacy of running the spells.

Re: The Book of Baron Mordo - Initial Playtest
Should be fine. Whatever ends up happening with Strange is pretty independent of Mordo and shouldn't really impact Mordo's price point; just whether or not anyone will ever want to play Mordo v Strange match-ups.

Re: The Book of Baron Mordo - Initial Playtest
Okay, here's the first part of Mordo's Initial.
Name Of The Playtest Unit: Baron Mordo Army Test 1 Map: Conflict Chernobyl (no glyphs) Armies: Baron Mordo (265), Wong, Venom (C3G) (585 points) vs. Iron Man (MkV), Iron Man (Hasbro), Iron Man (MkI) (590 points)
Spoiler Alert!
If any of you want to weigh in with any thoughts on that game, or have any thoughts about which of the two Test 2 opposing forces I should go with (I'm inclined towards the one with Silver Surfer, simply because I have a hard time seeing Mordo managing to Hypnotise Thor without the aid of a spell), then I'd love to hear them. |

Re: The Book of Baron Mordo - Initial Playtest
Just wanted to point out that technically, since we don't know what his final price will be, you actually tested him at 270 points in that game. Still a close loss seems to indicate 265 might not be far off. I was a bit curious to see how often he could counter-hypnotize someone with it having a range of 3. Twice in a small game featuring all opponents figures with a range of 4+ isn't too bad actually.

Re: The Book of Baron Mordo - Initial Playtest
Okay, decided on a completely a different build to go against him in Test 2 (since Thor has a big enough attack not to worry about Hypnotism and Surfer can just keep flying out of range), how about:
Captain America, Bucky, Ms. Marvel, Invincible (980 Points) I know you suggested a 400 + character, but there just aren't many who I can see getting credibly Hypnotised without spells |

Re: The Book of Baron Mordo - Initial Playtest
I'd drop him 10 points for the last test. You've tested him twice at 270 with two close loses. Lets see if you can get a win at 260. I imagine his perceived value could go up from there once he gets to start using a spell to hypnotize someone with OM1. Two turns with your opponents Thor would be a nice boost to his bottom line.
