I count six of the Black Order. Is that correct?

[Drewman-chu]

The original team did not have Black Swan. She joined the 2nd incarnation.

What was the roster of the Second Incarnation?

[Drewman-chu]

No Thanos, someone named The Challenger and they added Black Swan. In the new Avengers movie the Black Order will be called Children of Thanos and will consist of Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glavie, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf.

Thanks--I had never heard of these guys until last SD Comic Con months ago, when they were mentioned in online coverage of the upcoming film.

I'm thinking of running an Infinity War game with your cards. This would use your Thanos and the Children, and the Avengers Plus. Have you tested the children at all yet?

Did you ever do a Thor? He's the only Avenger I don't see on your two custom threads! Can you print the cards from photobucket? The cards seem disabled from the thread, except for the new ones. You can get to them from the Page 1 links.

I've done Infinity Gauntlet games with the C3G cards and power glyphs, but this would be a more straight up fight.

(By the way, did you ever do any DC characters?)

I actually got to playtest them against my son for 3 games using 18 glyphs (including the infinity) I need to tweak the language on Thanos and Corvus a little. The Black Order is a really tough matchup for any team. The games were really fun, but they boil down to who ever gets the right glyphs wins. It really becomes a race to get to the glyphs, so I guess reflects the comics and movies. Thanos with the Infinty gauntlet is downright scary. In one of the games my son used Hulk and gauntlet and he devastated most of the Black Order. My Thanos returned from Death 3 times and Corvus once and I still lost. Hulk rolling 14 dice is pretty awesome. I have a updated Thor card that I will post with current updates this week.

Excellent! Thanks--looking forward to Thor.

[Drewman-chu]

Ok here is Thor and updates. Corvus's Glaive Blade Immortality power is a little tricky so I tried to clean things up. It adds another layer of strategy because you must have a adjacent figure to him to make it work and it takes several rounds to bring him back instead of 1 lucky die roll. For reference: any power glyph under him can not be used while he is "destroyed". The equipment glyphs are not a problem because your opponent choose where they land. If they are under him they can still be picked up by a figure passing through. The language on the card should handle the rest of any issues that could come up. Post any issues that you think will or do come up and I will address them. I didn't see any problems with the other cards, though, Black Dwarf can be really hard to kill and may be worth more than 260. The Black Order is not easy to defeat because there is no "one good strategy" to beating them.

Great; thanks. it looks like we'll be playing next week. I like what you did with Corvus!

Will there be any other changes in the next few days, or can I start printing out the cards? You can see the scenario on our NYCG4 thread--see my signature for the link.
