Time Gem

Oh man, Time Gem is good. It's a reusable Fizzle on a stick. The only drawback is that since it's an equipment card, the equipped character has to not be stunned so that you can activate its effect (plus if the character is stunned, Time Gem will just bounce anyway). Since you bounce Time Gem first, then discard a card, you could just discard the same Time Gem you bounced, if you had an empty hand or something (i.e. Squadron). In Limited, you'll probably only get one at most, since its a rare, but if you get it, it's very playable. Resuable, virtually free negation is very good in this game, and with no loyalty restrictions of any kind, it's very splashable in decks that don't have plot twist search.

Rating: 5/5...this one gets the full monty

Quite possibly one of the best cards ever made in the game of Versus.

Negate a plot twist. Absolutely no drawback. Reusable. There’s absolutely no reason to not put this in every deck you ever make for the rest of your life. Remember to choose wisely which character you equip it to because it’s essentially the same as painting a big red target on the back of the character you pick. And that character is giving you opponent the finger. So even if you don’t get to negate anything, you can at least manipulate the combat to your liking. And try again next turn...

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

And this is just considering you’re not playing an Infinity Gauntlet...
