C3G Promotions Dept. | Wave 53: The End?

[johnny139]

To celebrate the release of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, C3G is celebrating all things cosmic with our newest wave - also featuring DC's Lanterns Corps!

BOOSTER #1 | GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY



Star-Lord is the leader of this ragtag team of alien misfits; his tactical prowess is second to none, and his good luck can get him out of any jam. Groot provides muscle, as well as transportation, for his allies - his pal Rocket Raccoon can keep the enemy at bay and blast crowds into smithereens. It's tough to say whether Drax or Gamora is the deadliest member of the Guardians - while Drax is a killing machine, relentlessly pursuing his Nemesis, Gamora's martial arts skills and Godslayer sword can take down even the mightiest of enemies.

BOOSTER #2 | COSMIC MARVELS



Richard Rider - better known as Nova Prime - channels the might of the Nova Force, blowing away enemies and zooming across the battlefield in a flash. While he unleashes energy, Quasar absorbs it; her real claim to fame, however, is the incomparable power of the Quantum Bands she wields. They're sure to come in handy against Psycho-Man, whose powers of manipulation can instill Fear in the hearts of men - not to mention Doubt and Hate. Of course, all of these powers pale in the shadow of Vulcan, the power-mad emperor who not only wields energy but masters it.

BOOSTER #3 | WAR OF LIGHT



Darkness falls on the universe; Black Hand and the Black Lanterns are to blame! The power of his Black Hand can cripple even the mightiest Lanterns, but his true power is to act as harbinger of the endless ranks of the Black Lantern Corps. Larfleeze, the sole Orange Lantern, can probably face this threat - if his Greed doesn't get the better of him. Saint Walker of the Blue Lanterns heals ailing allies with the light of Hope, while Indigo-1 staves off enemies with Compassion and Star Sapphire fights ferociously for her Beloved.

BOOSTER #4 | LANTERN RECRUITS



Thankfully, the leaders of the Lantern Corps will not be fighting alone - the Star Sapphires of Zamaron strike hard and fast, trapping their enemies in crystals that can turn even the coldest of hearts to the cause of Love. But can they stand up to the near-immortal Black Lanterns? These twisted mockeries of life parade across the battlefield in swarms, hunting the living and converting them one by one to their ranks. The war of the universe begins - whose side are you on?

I was not expecting this! Awesome! Thanks guys!

All cards are available now in the X minus 2 card printer also.

Be sure to +rep a Hero or two (or three or four). They really poured a lot of effort into this one.

I believe we now have at least one design out for every Lantern color except White! So lots of templates for all you public designers.

As did @davidlhsl and @Xorlof and @Flame Gryphon !

Great release! I'm excited to get the new Lanterns on my table. The Guardians are great too! I love ragtag tactics.

[Arkham]

Fantastic release!

I love every card in this release. Not a dud or "meh" design in the bunch. The Guardians look to work really well together. Gamora's GodSlayer special looks very deadly, Star Lord has some odd(yet fitting) synergy, Drax and Rocket have fun designs.

I notice Black Lantern has changed from when I playtested him. He was originally in the mid-high 300's point value, but now he starts with battery markers and his rolls might be slightly lowered(not sure)? I definitely agree with this decision. It'll make him more of a consistent threat for his point value, rather than getting killed early on before he gets rolling.

Nova and Blue Lantern's cards I received from a contest, and I love the way they play. Both in my top 10 favorite designs, especially in bigger games where you can really get some sweet synergies with them.

Indigo-1 and Star Sapphire I playtested, and I really love their designs as well. Indigo is especially useful as a defensive/support, whereas Star Sapphire is great offensive/support. The Star Sapphire Recruits are a great design as well.

Larfleeze looks really fun to play with, I appreciate him standing out a bit from other lanterns(as the Orange Lanterns do), and he just looks great!

Quasar(Phyla) looks really awesome! Can't wait to try her out in my next game. Love the design for her card, and the design of the bands.

Vulcan packs a punch with his design and stats, seems like he'll be a consistent threat.

Psycho-Man looks good too, very different, with very interesting specials.

Great job!

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, this is a fun one! I'm glad to see you're digging it!

[Viegon]

Awesome release!

I absolutely love, love how the Guardians came out, they all look great. The Lanterns are awesome to have too.

I'm glad to see Vulcan and Psycho-Man got some changes, they look a lot better now.

[johnny139]

Vulcan was a ton of work for a guy no one's ever heard of and even less people care about. He's crazy fun in the right build, though, so no regrets!

[Hellfire]

Great job C3G!

I look forward to the opportunity to have some War of Light battles on my tabletops.
