looks like the word "and" is missing from the last line of Allies.  (between "defended" & "is")

Generally I'm reluctant about full system revamps or reprinting of cards. It is one reason I've shyed away from posting to the OP3 reboot threads. In any event I do not want to discourage your work. It is good that you are trying to enrich the game. It also looks like some of what you are doing could be cross compatible with the original rule set. I hope that is given some consideration. Not feeling as though people have to give up anything substantial (or favorite cards) may help people ease into your version.

You're picking some nice art and editing it well. I especially like "Shark Attack". Though I'm not sure even an army of sharks would put out a level 11 hurt on people (especially on land or in the air, but such is the limitations of environment themed characters), the flavor still rocks. Aquaman's setup looks very playable, and getting some of those cards out for the cool factor alone would be fun. It is also good to give artists their due by listing them on the card. Nice move there.

You should go back and read through my journals if you haven't, to get a good idea of my vision for the game.  Basically, nearly every card would still be legal in my version, unless I've specifically overwritten it.  The only things I've banned outright (completely unenforceable of course) would be the Beyonder and Galactus character cards, plus Basic and Training Universe cards.  Any Specials that refer to them are slowly being revised, but it's an ongoing process.  I'm not worried about any of those kinds of cards being anyone's favorites.

IMO, there are already far more dubious (https://www.overpower.ca/cards/specials/517.png) cards (https://www.overpower.ca/cards/specials/830.png) in the game. :/

Ya, that was pretty much priority #1.  It annoys me that all kind of games so often don't credit their artists.

I'll refer you to series of documentaries on Netflix: Sharknado!  They can attack in the air, in helicopters, living rooms, dining rooms nowhere is safe!  Seriously. Check it out.
Great work, OP3! I hope don't miss the printed release.   We used DC3 at peace bridge tourney and it was great fun!

If you mean a printed release of my cards, there likely won't be such a thing.  It's just too cost-prohibitive frankly.  I've always said if someone wants to take it upon themselves to print everything out, well, go ahead I guess.  But it's not something I'm planning to do, especially since I don't have the rights to artwork.  A printed version would require all new art for every card.  Not going to happen.
