Hero cards, villain cards, environment cards: take your pick.
Gameplay reasons, art reasons, flavor text reasons: doesn’t matter.
If you want to pick cards from a different game or choose birthday cards: It’s all good.
But my question is this:
What are your favorite cards?
I really like [redacted]
Of what's available in the game it should come as no surprise my favorite card for art and gameplay reason is Best Card Ever! After that I find the incap art of the Foil version for Dr Medico to be amusing.
Impromptu Invention. It is by far the best equipment-searching card in the game. Whether I have a good game or a mediocre game with the Wraith largetly depends on whether I draw this at some point.
FOOLISH CREATURE! STAND NOT BEFORE RA!
Yeah, the card itself is probably Ra's least often used card, but I really love the flavor and the art of Wrathful Gaze. It's so much fun watching Ra be a ham.
Hands down, Don't Dismiss Anything. ALL THE RANDOM PLAYS
¿Quando? ¡Ahora! By far.
I demand explanation of this card. Is that Nightmist as a Freedom 5 member. Does the pan pipe next to her have the elder sign? I must to know about her! I feel the same with the other people on the card but Nightmist is a must answer for me.
I like many other cards other cards but they escape me. Mostly form villain cards or incaps. This game tell such great story I love it all.
Breaking the rules, Unknowable answer, What do you Really Know, Unwise Wager. I love when heroes have to fight their identity. Would you be happier if you get everything you want? Would you be happy if your curse would be removed?
Erime’s Slight of Hand. Sneaky little thief.
That La Capitan VotM deck has a few cards I hope we get more information about.
I've always liked the art on Mystical Divergence. I agree that Impromptu Invention is a pretty uber card for all the stuff it can do. I also agree on liking Don't Dismiss Anything and for the same reason - Slamara, incapped Set, and the Atlantean Font of Power (and any others I've missed out) are similarly cool even if they do let the villains play one as well :D. I also like the cards that can chain - Reset, Summon Staff, Fleet of Foot, Team Communication, all those kinds of cards. And Arcane Cadence. If I can chain that four times in a row I feel a bit sorry for the other players having to wait for me to finish sorting it all out :D.
My favorite non redacted card is the incap where Scholar uses the philosopher stone towtabilise guise accelarating his own doom.That duo would have made epic "Cable and Deapool moments".
I second the vote for Impromptu Invention as the best (gameplay) card in the whole game. Draw, search, AND play? Wraith gets two critical equipments out instantly.
Art/Storyline adder: Iron Legacy's Former Allies card. There's so much said in just that artwork, a broken picture frame of happier times, rain splashing down as mud covers the edges... I mean, a lot of Iron Legacie's deck goes through his rising to power, taking over the world, beating down the heros, it's just so deliciously filled with gooey tales of sorrow and confusion.
as far as abilities go? Twist the Aether. i've seen so much use out of that either on friend or foe. and Omnitron (original flavor or with Cosmic Flakes) and his Adaptive Subroutines can't stop an ally with that on them :D
Enduring Intercesion.
it's so useless I feel bad for it and it has a special place in my heart (and the trash pile)
Until Negative energy field shows up.
Actually since Captain Cosmic came out and Bracer gan get Haka to -2 taken pretty easily I have used intercession a decent bit.
Favorite Cards:
ZEALOUS OFFENSE!!! Best card in the game. It shuts down EPE, T-Rex, The Conqueror and The Stalwart, Mystical Defenses, Sonic Mine, Treacherous Ape and so many more. And the only cost is you have to hurt things. Yeah. Best Card Ever. (sorry Guise, you got the second best)
[REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]. I'm sorry to be that guy, but Stuntman. You guys have to wait, but there are so many great cards in his deck. The art, text, effects, it's glorious. I'm sorry you all have to wait to see them.
Final Dive. Yep, more Fanatic. Such an amazingly powerful card, and so thematically awesome. Love it.
Bloogo. He's the best.
Bloogo will always have a special place in my heart for being part of my favorite Video Game bug. (Namely that for awhile if Bloogo was attached to a Vitality Conduit that was attached to Bloogo, the game couldn’t decide what play area they belonged in so they went and hid in the center behind the art. )
The artwork on Temporal Event in Silver Gulch makes me giggle every time I look at it. The combo of Wraith's cartoony bug-eyed face and Argent's dejected staring contest with a lizard is delightfully absurd.
Construct Cataclysm, for being Badass Hilarious and showing how British Captain Cosmic is.
Haka of Shielding is another card with delightfully absurd art. It's the balloon that really makes it.
Everything with Idealist on it. Especially her foil incap for her original version.
Setback's entire deck is great, but I especially like the flavor text for High Risk Behavior. "Oh, hello there! Have you considered, say, not hitting me?"
Aquatic Correspondence. :D That poor eel...
I am sad Unity won't have any more canon bots, because I want to see what her quips would be for all the other heroes' expies.
Tactics has a lot of funny cards, too. Bunker complaining that Wraith stole his foam grenades, Citizen Spring being all a-gosh at how violent Beacon is, Wraith complaining that AZ got her making cheesy ice puns...
I have a fondness for Amulet of the Elder Gods. It was the key to my understanding of NightMist after a fair amount of frustration, and I really enjoy denying attacks and even hitting people with their own damage.
Throwing in a second for Final Dive. Picking up Minions and throwing them at each other never gets old. :D (There's nothing quite like taking out Omnitron by throwing a cactus at him!)
My favorite card to use is probably Suggestion. Nice and simple, and against most villains, can get you a known breather for the next round.
I also have a special place in my heart for Wrest the Mind, which I've had a couple of, shall we say, animated discussions about with SOTM-playing coworkers. Sure, I don't always find a way to use it, but there have been times where WTM has literally won me the game.
(Yes, Visionary is my most played character, why do you ask)
Oh, and if we're talking flavor text, Unity's Brainstorm gets me every time in light of recent events (#alternativefacts).
