I really liked the Marvel Team-Up set. So many good cards to choose from…

Empire State University
Location/2
Activate, exhaust a Spider-friends character you control > Look at the top two cards of your deck. Put one into your hand and the other on the bottom of your deck.

This, my friends, is an example of a very good card, a very good accelerator. It essentially says, “exhaust a character, draw a card.” If you had the free Aunt May out, it basically just says “draw a card”, no drawback. Broken.

But, in actuality, is better than that, essentially saying “draw two cards, then put one on the bottom of your deck.” You’re looking at 4 cards per turn, there’s absolutely no room for inconsistency in the Spider-Friends deck. Toss in 4 Indebted and your good to go.

Marvel Modern: 5/5
Silver Age: 5/5
Golden Age: 5/5
Overall: 5/5

And I’m out…

Hmm university themed intro…hmm…I could make jokes here about the standard of American higher education but I’m guessing nobody wants that.

ESU, exhaust a character, draw a card, also put a card you don’t want onto the bottom of you deck. Do I need to point out why that is good? Especially in a deck that can evade low level characters so you keep them on the field to re-use with this card.

If I do need to point out why that is good I will probably will have to make jokes about the standard of American higher education.

See cause I’m English I can do that.

We have Stephen Fry on our side.

Sealed: 4
Constructed: 5
