MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS
While there is a revealed Order Marker on this card, figures you control within 5 clear sight spaces of Black Ranger that are Unique Ranger Heroes or vehicles those Heroes are driving add 1 to their Attack and Defense numbers and to any 20-sided die rolled for a special power on their card.

BLACK POWER AXE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures engaged with Black Ranger and adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. If Black Ranger did not move normally this turn, all blanks rolled count as additional skulls.

COMBAT FLIP 12
After moving normally, attacking, or defending with Black Ranger, he may use Combat Flip. Combat Flip has a move of 2. When moving with Combat Flip, Black Ranger has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 12 levels in a single flip. When using Combat Flip, Black Ranger will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Art Stuffs and such

Cool. I like where he ended up. Yellow can help with the repositioning and movement stuff. That's the plan, yes?

Precisely!

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Man I'm so glad the White Ranger has a named (and alive) weapon so he can break from the Special Attack naming scheme here...

[Dr. Jekyll]

Hah, right!? It's not my fault they had terrible weapon names.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

More seriously,

On the SA, I do wonder if we might want to do something more like classic scape Surrak?

IDK, I think an Axe should be more of a cleave type thing were-as hitting everyone around him scans as more of a spin. And it's kinda weird that he'd have to hit his own dudes behind him if he wanted to hit a bad guy he's preventing from getting to said dudes.

Dude, I can totally get behind that. I was going for a spin thang, but I haven't seen too many cleave SAs so that would be pretty cool.

[tcglkn]

Cleave makes more sense to me.

[Dr. Jekyll]

Something like this I guess, so as not to hit his own peeps?

BLACK POWER AXE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures engaged with Black Ranger and adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. If Black Ranger did not move normally this turn, all blanks rolled count as additional skulls.

[Tornado]

Depending on how strong he tests I would consider going shields as skulls instead.
