For other Masterminds, you need to defeat them four times in order to win.
When the card is drawn, you shuffle it into his deck, and it acts as one of Mysterio’s many illusions. What makes Mysterio great is his Master Strike ability. He’s (relatively) weak by other Mastermind standards coming in at just 8 attack, but his power rests not in his might, but his persistence. I mention theme time and again when speaking about Legendary, but his is nailed so perfectly. Mysterio is the second Mastermind (leading the Sinister Six, finally), and quite possibly my favorite in the game so far. It’s a bit of a press-your-luck mechanic when paired with wall-crawl, placing the card you want at the top of your deck, only then to have feast pop up and make you toss it before even getting the chance to use it.
With Carnage and his squad, that luxury is removed, and you can run into a quick string of bad luck, scrambling to make up for lost ground while playing the remainder of the game from behind. KOing a card (removing it entirely) is typically in the hands of the player, allowing them to remove unwanted cards in favor of getting their stronger ones out more quickly, or at the very least, choose between a number of cards in order to lose the least damaging to them. Feast KOs the top card of the targeted player’s deck with the possibility of triggering a snowball effect depending on the villain in question or the card removed from the game. The next ability is for the Mastermind, specifically Carnage and his villain group Maximum Carnage: feast. Though slightly innocuous on the surface, wall-crawl is an ability which has the potential to easily turn a bad situation around if handled properly, and it’s such a small thing leading to more thought-demanding card choices. I’ve run into situations where I fell just short of dealing with a villain in the City with no means of taking them out, only to be able to pull off the above scenario and save myself both a wasted round and opportunity for them to escape. There are times I would be able to buy a more powerful, stand-alone card, without wall-crawl, but I opted instead for the ability in order to buy it, put it on top of my deck, and then play a card allowing me to draw a card and get it in my hand right away. Not only is it perfect thematically, but it can make for some interesting decisions (and big combo potential) when selecting newer cards. A card with the wall-crawl ability, however, is placed on top of their deck, ready to be used the following turn.
Traditionally when players purchase a card, that card first goes into their discard pile, only having a chance to enter the rotation once it’s shuffled into their deck proper. Since this is expansion centers around Spider-man, it stands to reason one of the abilities would focus on an iconic piece of his character: the wall crawl. Pretty sure I used those works incorrectly. Mini-movie review for you: it’s amazing.).Īs with Fantastic Four, Paint the Town Red introduces two new abilities to both boon and bane players. I’ll cover Guardians of the Galaxy on Friday and be done with it until I get my hands on Dark City (the expansion, not the movie. I keep waffling on whether or not to spread these Legendary reviews out or put them closer together, and all this inner debate could be solved if I just broke down and wrote it all out.

I’d considered updating from the road with brief tales of some experiences, but in the end I took the partially selfish way out allowing for a lengthy stretch of nothing.
