I like that too.

[tcglkn]

I like it as well. Seems more strategic as well.

Looks good to me

C3G INITIAL PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Doctor Strange

- THEME TEST/ Check to see if there are any powers or stats on the test unit card that does not accurately reflect the theme or likeness of what the character would and could do. Also consider destructible objects, and whether or not this characters powers should affect them.
PASS

- MIRROR TEST/ Check to see if the unit were played against itself, if there would be any loops that would upset the balance of the Game.
PASS

- BONDING TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing Bonding abilities to make sure there are no continual Bonding possibilities that do not stop appropriately or do not stop at all. This is to prevent loops in Bonding.
PASS

- SYNERGIES TEST/ Compare the unit card with all possible currently existing synergies to make sure there are no factors that could break the game by making any unit to powerful or too weak.
PASS

- POWER CHECK/ Consider the test unit and all existing units and all glyphs to compare to and check for any powers that could be over amplified and break the game. Each power must define when it takes place, who or what it affects, and What are the stipulations on the power if there are any.

PASS

- FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ Consider whether or not the design was fun to play against.
PASS

PASS

- USAGE TEST/ Consider whether or not all of the powers on this card were used or at least usable.
PASS

- STRATEGY TEST/ Consider whether or not the design offers any real strategy or interesting tactics to the overall game.
PASS

- Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero/ Does it pass, Yes or No? What should be the unit's point value? Give a brief summary. YES. 310. He has great survivability and great manipulation of Order Markers, as long as he is hitting his target, and with an attack of 5, it happens often enough to make his powers useful, but not to often where you would want to sacrifice inflicting wounds too too often. He has some interesting in game decisions to make, which ultimately makes the card a lot of fun and wizard-like.

Spoiler Alert!

TEST 1
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange VS Lex (Battlesuit).
Lex wins with 2 wounds.
Lex wins with 3 wounds.
In both games, Lex just had superior defense, and as each game lasted about 5 rounds, the superior defense is what did the trick.

TEST 2
Map: Custom.
Units:Doctor Strange VS Sabretooth.
Doctor Strange wins with 3 wounds.
Doctor Strange wins with 2 wounds.
Total domination. Strange kept height due to flying, only removed Order Markers from ST's card until none were left, then proceeded to cause damage. He is such a smart counter to any figure that requires OMs to really stay alive, especially if their defense is not too great.

TEST 3
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange VS Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman wins with 2 wounds.
Wonder Woman wins with 2 wounds.
Doctor Strange didn't get much of a chance in either battle as that Lasso of Truth followed by a big attack on height just devastated him without his Magical Defense.

TEST 4
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange VS She-Hulk.
SH wins with 3 wounds.
Doctor Strange wins with 5 wounds.
Doctor Strange wins with 4 wounds.
As long as DS can get height, he can really compete with SH, but if she can get on even height with him, he doesn't pack enough punch to really keep her moving towards death.

TEST 5
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange VS Abomination.
Doctor Strange wins 5 wounds.
Abomination wins with 6 wounds.
Doctor Strange has a tough time cracking a defense of 6 sometimes, unless he has height. But his attack of 5 IMO, is what really helps keep his card in check.

_____________________________________________________________

- Squad / Does it pass, Yes or No? What should be the unit's point value? Give a brief summary. Yes. 310. A long game of attrition.
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange VS Street Thugs x4.

Spoiler Alert!

Street Thugs win with 5 men left. Not a whole lot interesting here, pretty much just a dice fest.

_____________________________________________________________

- Squad / Does it pass, Yes or No? What should be the unit's point value? Give a brief summary. YES, 310.
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange VS Hydra Agents x4.

Spoiler Alert!

Hydra Agents win with 3 men left.

_____________________________________________________________

- Army Test/ Does it pass, Yes or No? What should be the unit's point value? Give a brief summary. YES. Felt more like 290 here. His lack of offensive power can really be exploited against the Man of Steel or figures like him.
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch VS Superman and Batman.

Spoiler Alert!

Superman wins with 4 wounds. Batman went head to head with Scarlet Witch and got owned as Doctor Strange stepped up to offer support from height, but just before he did, SW tried to break away from Batman to find Superman and curse him before she died, but Batman swiped her and she fell. Superman and DS danced and Superman won that hands down, but Doctor Strange was able to deal him 4 wounds.

_____________________________________________________________

- Army Test/ Does it pass, Yes or No? What should be the unit's point value? Give a brief summary. YES. Felt like 300 here. He was able to deal a bit more damage in this game, and also he prevented Human Torch from going Supernova once, because he removed an order from him, and he was about to go Supernova in hopes of hitting DS and QS at the same time. Doctor Strange is a fun unit to play, and he is especially good in one on one matches against figures who rely on Orders, like Mister Fantastic.
Map: Custom.
Units: Doctor Strange, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch VS Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and Plastic Man.

Spoiler Alert!

Plastic Man and Human Torch win with 3 wounds on Plastic Man and 4 wounds on Human Torch. This was a fun game and close. SW cursed Plastic Man and Human Torch early on, and eventually got Mr Fantastic as well. SW was doing quite well for herself, until she was shot down by Human Torch. Doctor Strange was able kill off Mister Fantastic while stealing his orders in one round, but he also took 3 damage on the last turn when Mister Fan was able to bond with Human Torch and Plastic Man on turn 3. After Mister F died, Human Torch took most of the orders, and that scared Quicksilver so he took off and got away from the action to be a reserve for later. Doctor Strange went down to a successful Flame On 4 which dealt his last two wounds. Then Human Torch put the pressure on Quicksilver, but QS kicked his teeth in after he went supernova and failed. Invisible Woman kept Human Torch alive though, and entered the fight so that QS had to take her on. Once QS killed her, Human torch and Plastic Man tag teamed and took out QS for good.

[Griffin]

Heavy Hitters and Squad Tests done. Feeling a lot like 310 right now.

[Griffin]

All the tests are done, and I think that 310 is gonna be a good cost to test him from here on out.

[Good Pig]

Preemptive yea to play testing.

[IAmBatman]

I could see going 300 from those army tests ... but 300-310 is fine, IMO.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I say send him to playtesting at 310. If the playtesters feel he should be lower, then we can lower him. Pre-emptive Yea to playtesting.

[Griffin]

OK, I propose we send Doctor Strange to playtesting at 310.

[Griffin]

Good Pig and Spidey have posted their yeas, so I need votes from IamBatman, A3n, SirGalahad, and tcglkn.

[tcglkn]

yea
