New Solo Rules for Legendary Marvel: Tutorial

hi there legendary players in this video I'll be running through the new solo rules changes in the wh if core set and comparing them to the advanced solo rules that we've been using for the last 10 years or so the changes are pretty simple and fall into three categories henchmen Master strikes and scheme twists so let's get to it first I'll talk about the smallest change and that's for scheme twists at the end of a Twist you'll still cycle a hero from the HQ to the bottom of the hero deck in a slight change that makes bookkeeping easier you now only need to do that once no matter how many twists chain together for example say that a scheme twist effect says to play another card from the villain deck and that plays another twist and then that plays a third under this Advanced solo rules you'd then have to cycle three Heroes and the timing on that had always been a bit murky and easy to get lost now you just cycle one at the very end of all of that it's a lot simpler to manage next up Master strikes with the new solo rules you no longer play an extra card after a master strike that's a few extra turns that are going to give you a little breathing room to keep the villain deck from cascading into a loss out of nowhere and it will also give a boost to some of the masterminds that have Master strike effects that would whiff if multiple were played in a single turn finally henchmen instead of adding three henchmen to the villain deck we'll grab four but only two of those will actually go into the deck set the other two aside during setup then at the beginning of the game you play each of those set aside henchmen into the city triggering their Ambush effects as normal the end result of this is twofold you're going to start with some easy Targets in the city for those turns when you don't have a lot of attack this might even encourage you to buy some attack cards a bit earlier than usual and second this is going to put a bit more pressure on the city it's often pretty easy to control the city in a Solo game and this will give you the risk of some early escapes or make abilities that care about City spaces like conqueror matter a bit more if you've played with the Messiah complex expansion you might be wondering about those henchmen with clone yes they'll still clone as normal so with Sinister clones You'll Play the first that you set aside then clone it then play the second that you set aside and clone it and then each of those clones are going to shuffle their own bystander into the villain deck per their Ambush effects and with the SEL squad one the first one will clone and then you'll play the second but it won't clone because there are enough in the city already and that's it for the new solo rules beyond that everything else stays the same three Heroes one villain group and a bystander unless something else changes any of that during setup so what does this due to the speed of a solo game well previously the average Advanced solo game given eight twists in a deck would last 20 turns or 21 if the final card was a master strike now we end up losing a turn due to one fewer henchman in the deck but we gain five turns from those Master strikes for a total of 24 turns that's a typical game G of four turns per game and while it gives you extra time you can end up with some early pressure in the city now I'll wrap this up by saying that we've been play testing these role changes for a very long time now Devon's put a lot of thought into them and we tried a few different options before landing where we did if you've been playing Advanced solo for a while this may seem strange at first but I think you'll come to like it and if you thought Advanced Solo felt too fast this is definitely worth a look I've got a couple of play through is going up today of this month's league matches where you can see these rules in action check the links below the video for that and starting next month I'll be running leagues using these new rules and finally if you've never caught it before I have to mention that I'm raising money for UVA children's hospital with extra Life by playing legendary there's a big Marathon running live for over 24 hours the first week in November so come join me for that but you can check out the donation page now for more Det details by clicking the link below this video or going to Legendary league.com and clicking the Donate button there you can find out more about the special promos I offer to raise money for kids and families who need our help in order to change kids health and change the future we've raised over $155,000 in the last s years just by playing legendary thanks to the support of Gamers like you have a great day and have fun trying out these new rules
