Your versions would work but as I said, it would be messier than just melee attack or dodge. Maybe I am just biased and the new rules click better? My thing is that I agree with UDE for not allowing team attacks from different rows because you then have to keep checking which character would actually be able to attack (if Red skull cannot be ranged attack then your 2 characters with range can't do anything) and abilities like Abomination would be slightly more annoying because his ability will only affect some but not all. Could team attacking with different rows work? Well yeah, but this game is trying to be cleaner and leave little room for second guessing. I like it but I see why you don't |

I think it makes it more flavorful. Characters attacking from distance (ie back row) can't be struck back by defenders unless the defender has Ranged. If they attack from the front row, then it is no longer a "distance" attack and can be struck back by any defender because they are 'closer'. The mistake here was calling back row attacks 'Ranged Attacks'. If they used a different term, then it would be more clear on how strike back works. You really just need to think about it in terms of distance, if you are attacking from the front row, you can be struck back regardless, if you are in the back row, you can only be struck back if the defender also has the ability to combat from "distance". Seems intuitive to me. |

He makes Rocket a lot more playable. If avengers and Guardians have more offensive cards, I see Team Rocket being a very viable option. |

Speedy I have no idea what you're talking about. What about Hawkeye helps Rocket in any way? Edited by Psychotime, Jul 17 2015, 12:51 AM.

its a low cost as well as the ability to use a location from hand. all of this makes it quicker for rocket to level up |

Sorry, that's a pretty broad criteria. He's just a normal character for this game. Characters that can indiscriminately let you discard for effects are what Rocket needs. Not a card that lets you only discard 8/60 cards in your deck. Hopefully there are some stronger plot twists that have discarding as a cost. |

I meant that if you have both your red location and blue location cards in your hand and Hawkeye early on, you can go through your hand quickly. You draw 2 cards a turn and you have to put one down so any ability that lets you discard is going to help you accelerate through your hand fast. And honestly, I would rather abuse Hawkeye's power early on anyway over saving tje red for Rocket because A) He can take out the opposing MC if Rocket is not able to (lack of blue location, you tried once this turn and failed, etx.) on turn 2 or whatever turn you play him, and B) He can take out ranged SC's that would either stun rocket on their attack or when you attack. His ability to take out ranged characters without being stunned helps you keep board control and helps Rockets aggressive playstyle. If the avengers have any other decent plot twists I would say Guardians and Avengers would be a decent team up for Rocket since so far they seem to love their little guys (from what we have seen). |

When combat is canceled does the attacker get to ready? |

Thats my concern. Since the avengers have a plot twist that does the same thing. Is it reset or force field projection? Seems like cancelling combat will be a pretty often occuring thing. A lot diff than old vs combat. |

I'm assuming the attacker does not ready or else the power wouldn't make much sense as the attacker would just attack Ant-Man again. |

If "Cancelling" is equivalent to Force Field Projection from MVL and not Reset that is EXTREMELY strong..honestly to the point of unbalanced. |

Agreed. This would make him and that plot twist way too good. However Ant Man being a 2/2 with a cancel ability does make 1 drops worth it. He has staying power. If other 1 drops are this good then I am happy because every team has a good turn 1 to play. If not then Ant Man ia indeed OP. |

If Antman prevents attackers to ready, he is going to be spammed in all kind of decks. There's no energy or loyalty restriction in his power, and undercurving seems to be the best way, as the more protectors you have, the harder it will be to reach your MC. |
