The Book of Spider-Man (Avengers Holiday Party)

[IAmBatman]

Two big wins for me probably bias my perspective, but I could see a boost to 160 and his feeling like fine value there. The +1 to adjacent attacks stacking with Cap is a pretty powerful effect.

There are certainly plenty of figure movement powers that can counter Spidey fairly easily though.

[Arkham]

Calculator has his stats alone coming in at 150. The + to attack seems fairly easy to get in most cases, and the Food Glyph effects are nothing to scoff at either. Also a couple bonding turns per game(if needed). Swing Line is worth at least something. The - to move feels like a minor loss, that I don’t feel it’s outweighing the rest of what he offers, so 150 already feels like a steal(compared to Moon Knight even, who’s already a premiere pick there).

Looking at the initials, 170 was looking pretty reasonable point wise. Skinderella’s win at 130 was by a bigger margin than her loss at 140(also don’t feel her armies were as ideal). Bats had 2 solid wins.

Personally feeling 150-160 may be underselling him a tad. Really surprised nobody has tried him with Scarlet and/or Vision, as they’d be the biggest ones to make use of the attack boost, especially with Cap’s as well. A She-Hulk + Wasp build would also be good to try.

It's been two weeks since Joshua signed up to test here and I'm getting concerned that I won't have time to get all my designs finished for the Spidey Wave in time.

I think going back to 170 should keep him nice and playable (I clearly just had poor luck in my games), so I propose we move to final editing at that cost.

Yeah Joshua is super slow (Though I'm one to talk right now).

Yea

This passes, I'll break out the Glyphs and post some cards.

Super minor, just prefer that language over adding dice, and it's more consistent with the earlier language around the Move number.

Just little style stuff.

Cool, thanks for the wording help. Cards posted here, but I didn't actually do as much on the Glyph cards as I had thought so they will have to wait till after bar trivia.
