Samantha
Parrington ^ Valkyrie
4 cost Marvel Defenders Rare
5/9 Flight Substitute
Let start with her stats she doesn’t have a good
attack but she’s huge on defense. On a drop
that’s more likely to be a 7 maybe an 8 Sam’s 9
is huge! I don’t see her attacking anyways. I do
see her Backup ability being used on the Hulk
both 5 and 7 drop. I’ve also been smashed by a
rather huge Hellboy when she was under dropped
on turn 5 with Frank Drake adding some more
beats to him. I’ve heard a lot of players say
all the backup abilities aren’t strong enough
but attacking with only one character isn’t a
new idea. (see X-static and Hellfire club)
I rate Sam as a 3.5/5 she’s a good solid 4 the
Defenders. You won’t see her in sealed enough to
matter. |

Samantha
Parrington <> Valkyrie
Samantha Parrington is a great 4-drop for the
Defenders team, which follows a strategy of
having one big attacker, and a lot of Backup
characters that support it. Valkyrie eases the
sting of only having one attacking character by
letting that character potentially attack twice
in one turn. A way to abuse this is to play Hulk
on 5, then Hellcat activates to give him +2/+2,
and then activate Valkyrie to let him ready
after he attacks. This means that he'll be
12/12 on his first attack, and 13/13 when he
attacks again. Cards that ready Valkyrie will
let her activate twice (like The Order), so she
could let two characters get a double swing in
the same turn. Her 9 DEF is big enough to stop
her from getting trashed, but her 5 ATK means
that more often than not, you'll be using her
Backup ability instead of trying to attack with
her.

We start this week with a bang, a staple for the
Marvel Defenders.

Chooser of the Slain
Marvel Defenders/4/5/9
Flight, Substitute
Backup: Activate > When target character you
control next attacks this turn, ready it. Use
only during the build phase.
In Vs, if there is an ability that allows you to
attack again, with no horrible drawback, it’s a
good card. If it can attack again, and STILL
cause breakthrough, then it’s a staple. This is
an unbelievable card, not just in Defenders, but
any deck. I believe Quickfate would love an
extra attack for good measure. Of course, you
can’t be stunned in the process, but that’s not
too big of a deal for a free attack. Substitute
is just a bonus for any turn after turn four. If
only it could stack, would it be broken.
Marvel Modern: 4/5
Silver Age: 4/5
Golden Age: 3/5
Overall: 4/5
And I’m out…

Samantha Parrington is basically just a total
slut. A total slut wearing Madonna’s cast-off’s.
Plus she’s blonde.
Oh right yeah, the review…
Her backup ability lets another character swing
twice. Cause she’s all about the swinging. Cause
of the total slut thing…Anyway that’s perfect
for a Defenders mono build with its groovy “pimp
up my 5 drop” strategy. You’re getting a double
attack with a big character. Or a triple if
you’ve got Moon Knight onto the field. Moon
Knight will kill you in the face.
Samantha isn’t about the killing though, low
points mean you’re not going to be attacking
with her, but lucky, lucky, lucky she’s got a
defence value that’s almost equal to the number
of STI’s she has. So that’s cool. Well not the
STI’s thing. That’s kinda gross. But yeah you
don’t need to worry about her getting stunned,
which is ironic given the amount of time she
spends face-down. Heh, I’m so on form today.
To sum up she’s a blonde slut in a Madonna
costume. Who wouldn’t want to play with that?
Sealed: 4
Constructed: 4
