When it comes to attacking, the good doctor doesn’t rely on the brute force of Physical attacks, using Energy and, appropriately, Mystic attack types instead. This gives Doctor Strange an edge on his foes, who often are less resilient to these attack types. Bolts of Bedevilment has a decent Range 4, but the iconic Crimson Bands of Cytorak attack is a true showstopper. By default, this attack allows Doctor Strange to inflict the Stagger special condition, but if the attack roll produces a critical, wild, and a regular hit, Doctor Strange can use the Mystic Binding special rule instead, giving the target an activated token—monkeying with your opponent’s action economy as a result!


Doctor Strange has four different superpowers, each taken from one of the many classic spells the Sorcerer Supreme has used in defending the world from mystical threats. Each one is potent and useful, but special mention goes to the Eye of Agamotto innate power. Not only does this permit Doctor Strange to modify and reroll failures, once per attack he can reroll all the dice of an attack or defense roll. Wielding a Vishanti’s weapon of wisdom has its benefits!

Doctor Strange defends the world aided by his loyal protector, Wong. While he lacks the breadth of abilities the Sorcerer Supreme possesses, he is a valuable addition to any crisis team’s roster! With a Threat of 2, Wong can help to fill in the gaps and put another character on the field, which can be quite useful when you’re trying to secure valuable assets or hold critical locations.

Wong’s rules are a reflection of his role in supporting Doctor Strange. Most of his superpowers benefit other characters in Wong’s vicinity, from Faithful Assistant which allows a friendly character within Range 3 to gain 1 additional power to the potent The Vishanti’s Blessing power that allows an ally of Wong to remove 2 damage or a special condition.

I wouldn't get too excited about affiliation-spoilers. Remember Angela has been on the Asgardian card since near launch and she isn't even on the 2020 release calendar.

Carnage packed with Mysterio would be an odd one to me, but welcome. Thinking they'll come out near Goblin would be a surprise. Goblin is already in pre-orders, and we've seen a fair amount of this year's release list. And we've seen models of Ant-Man and Wasp. But nothing yet on Carnage.

IT just makes too much sense, allow another game under your belt while having it be "Compatible" looks good for a fledgling studio.

My bet for the xmen starter is Cyclops, Jean, wolverine, beast. The 5th is a toss up between gambit, rogue, ocean, or night crawler. Gambit and rogue could be thier own box though. I am most excited for gambit and collosus.
